Reflexive Mixed Methods Research in Comparative and International Education : Context, Complexity, and Transdisciplinarity
Responding to both the increase of mixed methods research (MMR) and the lack of dialogue about its philosophical and methodological practices in comparative and international education (CIE) Reflexive Mixed Methods Research in Comparative and International Education: Context, Complexity, and Transdisciplinarity offers readers an overview of different philosophical approaches to mixed methods, as well as the practical processes to engage in MMR with reflexivity. Comparing reflexivity to a kaleidoscope, the author describes how it can be used throughout the research process to engage with different paradigms and methods, as well as to integrate findings and consider emerging interconnections.The book discusses various ways to reflexively adapt designs, methods, and analyses, and integrate findings in MMR to better contextualize knowledge in the field of CIE.It illustrates different approaches to MMR through various case summaries, and each chapter poses reflexive questions for researchers to consider during their research projects.It emphasizes a critical realist approach, particularly for how it involves epistemological pluralism while also offering contingent explanations to educational questions.Through a reflexive approach, the book offers possibilities for conducting better and more epistemically just MMR. This is fascinating reading for both new and more experienced researchers to expand the craft of researching with MM.Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary teams, as well as sole researchers, will find concrete research practices in the book for employing reflexive MMR to understand complex educational issues.

Pedagogy in Islamic Education : The Madrasah Context
In Islamic education, the development of teaching and learning for the physical and spiritual training of humanity places equal importance on revealed and acquired knowledge.This book provides a greater understanding of Islamic pedagogy from a spiritual perspective, which requires empathy with the Islamic premise of the inseparable nature of knowledge and the sacred.The book is intended to provide a particular insight into the relationship between Islamic pedagogy and embodied learning and associated common features that are seen in Madrasahs, and related educational institutions.The first part of the book traces key moments in madrasah history and their formation; diversity of Islamic institutions, and the notion of the scholastic community.It identifies the rise of the Islamic education institutions and the diversity within their formation.Despite the partial disappearance of the spiritual in many Islamic education institutions, the authors argue that the spiritual construct is still deeply implicated in the reification of Islamic pedagogy and in the process of embodiment.The second part of the book draws on unravelling knowledge and the sacred that considers the philosophy of Islam and knowledge, spiritual understanding of Islamic education, and knowledge and the sacred as an educational compass.Finally, the book explores the implications of Islamic pedagogy and embodied learning, the universal nature of Islamic pedagogy, and reflections for the future.By bringing to bear a variety of Islamic and educational studies research, relative to Islamic pedagogy, this book opens up new avenues for research into Islamic education.The book will be of particular interest to scholars investigating Islamic education, Islamic pedagogy, and embodied learning.

Album Review: EYE FLYS Context EYE FLYS' latest offering, Context, is a veritable whirlwind of noise and chaos that is as exhilarating as it is disorienting. The band, helmed by the enigmatic frontman Buzz Killington, have crafted a sonic landscape that feels like a punk rock fever dream, with distorted guitars and pounding drums colliding in a cacophony of sound that is equal parts thrilling and overwhelming. From the opening track, "Buzzsaw", it's clear that EYE FLYS are not here to play nice. The relentless energy of the music is matched only by Killington's ferocious vocals, which veer from guttural screams to anguished wails with reckless abandon. It's a sonic assault on the senses that demands your attention and refuses to let go. Tracks like "Gutter" and "Wasteland" see the band delving into darker, more atmospheric territory, with ominous, swirling guitars creating a sense of unease that is palpable. Killington's lyrics are cryptic and enigmatic, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the already chaotic soundscapes. But it's not all doom and gloom on Context. Tracks like "Sunshine" and "Rainbow" inject a much-needed dose of levity into the proceedings, with catchy hooks and infectious melodies that are impossible to resist. It's a welcome reprieve from the relentless intensity of the rest of the album, offering a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak musical landscape. Overall, Context is a wild ride from start to finish, a rollercoaster of sound and emotion that will leave you breathless and craving more. EYE FLYS have once again proven themselves to be masters of their craft, pushing boundaries and defying expectations at every turn. Take a listen, if you dare.
