Effectiveness of instructional interventions in higher education
Answering the question of effectiveness of educational interventions is no easy task for a multitude of reasons. The effectiveness of an intervention depends not only on the intervention itself but also, for example, on the target group, the available infrastructure, the current legislation, the time of implementation or the expertise of the teachers. This special issue shows the diversity in the goals pursued and the interventions used to achieve them. It also shows methodological differences in effectiveness research and argues the need for nuanced interpretation and for explicitly considering the context for the intervention.

The Routledge History of Fashion and Dress, 1800 to the Present
The time span covered by The Routledge History of Fashion and Dress starts in the nineteenth century, with the aftermath of the consumers’ revolution, and reaches all the way to the present. The fashion and garment industries have been international from the beginning and, as such, this volume looks at the history of fashion and dress through the lenses of both international and global history. Because fashion is also a multifaceted subject with humanagency at its core, at the confluence of thematerial (fabrics, clothing, dyes, tools, and machines) and the immaterial (savoir-faire, identities, images, and brands), this volume adopts a transdisciplinary perspective, opening its pages to res...

Economists4Future
Hunderttausende Schülerinnen und Schüler beharren auf eine konsequente Klimapolitik. Eltern, Lehrer*innen, Unternehmer*innen und viele weitere Menschen solidarisieren sich mit ihnen, darunter über 26.000 scientists4future aus diversen Disziplinen. Nur die etablierten Wirtschaftswissenschaften schweigen. Das ist kein Zufall, denn ihr Denkstil hat wesentlich zu den Krisen der Gegenwart beigetragen: Denn eins haben Klimakrise, Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise ebenso wie die Corona-Pandemie gemein: Sie entlarven die Fragilität unserer Wirtschaft und zeigen, wie abhängig wir uns als Gesellschaft von ihr gemacht haben. Alte, scheinbar bewährte Lösungen greifen nicht mehr, Lieferengpässe reißen ganze Zweige in den Abgrund, das gesellschaftliche Zusammenleben gerät aus den Fugen. Zeit für die Wirtschaftswissenschaften, die Gebetsmühle aus Effizienz und Eigennutz zu zerschlagen und neue Visionen für eine bessere Welt aufzuzeigen. In "economists4future" mischt sich eine Gruppe von Weiterdenker*innen in die jetzt notwendige Umgestaltung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft ein – und verändert damit selbstverständlich geglaubte Spielregeln einer wichtigen Wissenschaft.

Orthodox Cyprus under the Latins, 1191–1571
Medieval and Renaissance Cyprus was a fascinating place of ethnic, cultural, and religious encounters. Following almost nine centuries of Byzantine rule, Cyprus was conquered by the Crusaders in 1191, becoming (until 1571) the most important stronghold of Latin Christianity in the Eastern Mediterranean—first under the Frankish dynasty of the Lusignans, and later under the Venetians. Modern historiographical readings of Cypriot identity in medieval and early modern times have been colored by British colonialism, Greek nationalism, and Cyprocentric revisionism. Although these perspectives have offered valuable insights into the historical experience of Latin-ruled Cypriots, they have partial...
