Novas políticas sociais e complexidades em trono da equidade: um desafio para a teoria social by Daniel Fernando da Soledade Carolo

“…Thus we will discuss four dimensions: i) the political implications inherent in the transition of a welfare t workfare model, in the citizenship conception, because "activation" is the new paradigm of social policy orientation; ii) the classification of recent transformations, according to a Rawlsian conception of justice, it means, evaluating how social policies have been promoting equality, focused on people with less resources, and also an analysis to see if they have been promoting individual freedom (in a liberal sense: civil rights, autonomy to make decisions); iii) risk evaluation and equality complexities, for example, how the positive discrimination, founded in the equality principle, could be perverse and undermine the most important democratic assumption – equal condition in terms of citizenship; iv) articulation between different levels – European Social Model, social policy Europeanization and national welfare state reforms, exploring the hypothesis of contradictions between goals and outputs. …”

Translation Pedagogy in the Digital Age by Mariusz Marczak

“…What it brings to the forefront of contemporary translator education — and also language education, for that matter — is the learner’s capacity and preparedness for self-directed, autonomous learning (Kukulska-Hulme et al. 2015). Having said that, today’s translator education systems must create conditions for students not only to learn about translation but also develop a range of soft/employability skills, e.g. critical thinking skills, communication skills, problem-solving skills and collaboration skills, which will help them live up to the expectations of the Language Service Providers (LSPs), or the market at large (Mirza 2017). …”
