Sommario/riassunto

For those who own it, wealth can have extraordinary advantages. High levels of wealth can enhance educational attainment, create occupational opportunities, generate social influence and provide a buffer against financial emergencies. Even a small amount of savings can improve security, mitigate the effects of job loss and other financial setbacks and improve well-being dramatically. Although the benefits of wealth are significant, they are not enjoyed uniformly throughout the United States. In the United States, because religion is an important part of cultural orientation, religious beliefs should affect material well-being. This book explores the way religious orientations and beliefs affect Americans' incomes, savings and net worth.

Sommario/riassunto

This book highlights that language matters permeate all areas of higher education and that language matters for everyone involved in academic institutions: in policy, in teaching and learning, in administration, in research and in leadership. The chapters in this volume address national, institutional and local levels, and range from legal texts to students' and teachers' stories across disciplines. It provides a useful picture for all those who work in the various fields of higher education. Contributors are: Britt-Marie Apelgren, Tove Bull, Josep Maria Cots, Ann-Marie Eriksson, Sylva Frisk, Lídia Gallego-Balsà, Peter Garrett, Linnea Hanell, Luke Holmes, Niina Hynninen, Kathrin Kaufhold, Maria Kuteeva, Ragnhild Ljosland, Heidi Rontu, Taina Saarinen, Linus Salö and Susanne Strömberg Jämsvi.
