This volume attempts to draw debates on governance, at both of these levels, into spaces of cross-border regionalism in Europe today. Embodying both supra-national and sub-national dynamics of contemporary forms of governance, cross-border regions (or euregions) enable observation of the fitful progress and contradictions of the multilevel polity that is contemporary Europe. Including case studies from throughout the EU as exemplars of specific "border regimes", the volume identifies the practical and theoretical importance of governing in Europe's new cross-border territories as part of a newly reinvigorated 'regional question'. In Europe's euregions, it is argued, issues of democracy, identity, sovereignty, citizenship and scale must be rethought, when a border runs through it.This book utilises a diversity of perspectives and a range of selected case studies to examine modes of governance emerging across the nation-state borders of Europe. It will interest students and researchers of European Union borders.

Perspectives on Occupational Therapy Education: Past, Present, and Future outlines a path forward for occupational therapy educators, incorporating the impact of historical context, contemporary issues and trends, and international viewpoints on the development of the profession.With this mission in mind, Drs. Steven D. Taff, Lenin C. Grajo, and Barbara R. Hooper offer helpful tips, practical tools, and fresh insights to support current and future educators in developing their teaching philosophies and pedagogies. The book is divided into three main sections—past, present, and future—and examines:• The history of occupational therapy education, including the influence of critical philosophies, their relationship to higher education and healthcare, and the growth of accreditation standards and professional degree programs.• Current trends and challenges in healthcare and higher education, including bridging the gap between education and practice, the use of competency exams, expanding educational research, and promoting diversity and inclusion among faculty and students.• International perspectives on the development and future of occupational therapy education from leading scholars in Africa, Australia, Europe, North America, South America, and Southeast Asia, including trends in educational technologies, fieldwork education and requirements, and inter-professional education.An indispensable resource for educators, Perspectives on Occupational Therapy Education: Past, Present, and Future concludes with an imagining of the occupational therapy education landscape in the year 2050: a future in which occupational therapy educators are continuously responding to ongoing changes in health care policies, adapting to a more diverse and globally connected student population, and articulating the distinct value of occupational therapy in new and emerging areas of practice.Included with the text are online supplemental materials for faculty use in the classroom.

This essential resource provides educators with practical guidance to design and deliver occupation-centered education for occupational therapy students.Based on the Subject-Centered Integrative Learning Model for Occupational Therapy (SCIL-OT), a robust guide for instructional design, the book can be used to create and implement a single assignment, an entire course, or a whole curriculum. Applicable across different countries or regions, readers will explore the educational foundations and elements of the SCIL-OT, and how they can be applied to both teaching and creating learning materials. Supported throughout with stories, examples, and sample activities, the book is aimed at the growing numbers of graduate students and educators who create or revise occupational therapy curricula, courses, and learning experiences across university-based learning, fieldwork placements, and practice-based learning situations.The first book to offer occupational therapy educators with how-to guidance in occupation-centered curriculum and instructional development, it will be an essential resource for forming future practitioners who embody the distinct values of this important profession.
