Escaping Reality? New Forms of Leisure and Recreation for Seventeenth-Century Dutch Youths
"The Male Protector is the Patronising Woman": The Discussion of lntersecting Forms of Oppression in the Dutch Black Women\u27s Magazine Umoja, 1985-1986
“The existence of black women is denied, at least it is not seen and not heard,” stated Julia da Lima during the 1983 Winteruniversiteit Vrouwenstudies in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. The Winteruniversiteit Vrouwenstudies was essentially a gathering of mostly highly educated women who participated in lectures and seminars covering various subjects. Together with Ans Sarianamual and Thelma Ravell, da Lima protested the whiteness of the gathering\u27s programme by giving a speech that is often seen as the climax of the discussions about (anti-)racism that flared up in the Dutch feminist movement in the 1980s. At the same time, the speech can be seen as a catalyst for the emergence of Black women’s organisations such as the Black women’s magazine Umoja.“The existence of black women is denied, at least it is not seen and not heard,” stated Julia da Lima during the 1983 Winteruniversiteit Vrouwenstudies in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

Engaging in an online odyssey: Globally Networked Learning among undergraduates in Germany and the US
The purpose of this practice report is to describe a Global Networked Learning (GNL) that unfolded among a cohort of 54 University students (n=54) in Germany and the United States. There were 28 students from Germany and 26 students from the United States who participated in the international virtual exchange. A GNL is a collaborative, international online approach to help students and instructors from universities around the world to participate in a learning exchange and the creation of knowledge through project-based learning. The GNL project centered around crafting an engaging multimedia presentation about regions called a Global Competency Virtual Odyssey (GCVO). The focus of the GCVO was on regions in Germany and the United States. The GNL project was implemented over a an eight-week period. The students collaborated via four synchronous Zoom sessions with further collaboration happening over WhatsApp. The report describes the features of the GNL project and the collaborative process of creating and presenting the GCVOs. The article could be relevant to readers as it offers an explanation how to implement a GNL project. The report concludes with a discussion of the students’ perceptions of creating and presenting their GCVOs as part of the GNL project
