| Riepilogo: | 1 Introduction to belief systems in higher education -- Section 1 The Changing Role of Religion in Higher Education -- 2 The shaping of academic culture of higher education in Taiwan: Confucianism, historic legacy, and western influences -- 3 Towards sustainable Islamic communities in Malaysia: The role of Islamic based higher education institutions (IHEIs) -- 4 Christian higher education in Korea: Exploring historical roles, regular Christian curricular and non-regular mentoring programs -- 5 Christian universities in Japan -- Section 2 Belief Systems in Asian Higher Education -- 6 Thai higher education and an epistemological theory of Attasammāpaṇidhi -- 7 A critical analysis of belief education in Chinese higher education -- 8 Reinventing and promoting traditional cultures and values in Bali: A critical review of the government role in education and cultural exchange -- Section 3 Diffusion of Asian Value Scapes in the Global North -- 9 Reimagining for our children: Native Hawaiian relationality in higher education -- 10 Encounters with belief in the global city: Urban Humanities filmmaking pedagogy from Los Angeles to Shanghai -- 11 Spirituality and emancipatory struggle in higher education -- 12 Philosophy, culture, and the battle against mission drift in higher education in Asia This book underscores the role of belief and knowledge that are outside the canons of science, as they are not often considered within the core functions of a university. It explores various ways in which belief systems are part of the fabric of higher education – either implicitly or explicitly – and pursues a deeper understanding of the role of belief practices as it plays out in both private and public higher education. The broad variety of geographic locations and belief systems represented here demonstrate the ways in which implicit and explicit belief systems affect higher education. The book is unique in its breadth of coverage, but also in its depth of exploration regarding how belief systems function in society through the avenue of higher education, which is often a central site for the production and dissemination of knowledge |
