Globalization has been reshaping the culture, politics and economy of countries. This knowledge-based work environment requires the formation of new curriculum and pedagogical practices.

There are places where the world you know, and the worlds you don't, swap, or merge, or disappear entirely. These are the soft places, the transparent moments. The ghosts of World War One will steal your future. Masons will carve the date of your death before your gaze. Those versions of yourself from every universe there is will meet, and haunt you for the rest of days. You will find no safe footing, and the ice beneath you is cracking . . .
