Contemporary Discourses in Education, Communication and Cultural Studies is a collection of essays in honour of Professor Kate Azuka Omenugha, a distinguished educationist, academic and former Commissioner for Education, Anambra State. Divided into two parts and fourteen chapters, the volume explores and interrogates various themes - from Professor Omenugha's doctrine of 3Cs (Competence, Compassion and Communication) and their impact on the education system to the nexus between education, communication, gender and culture. This is a must read not only to all who are interested in education, communication and cultural studies but also to students and practitioners of development studies, sociology and allied fields.____________________________ Holger Briel is professor at Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong, Baptist University and the United International College (UIC), China.
