the Med through literature, culture, and connection.2026-04-01T00:00:00ZCulture, power and educationhttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/1459142026-04-27T07:21:42Z2026-04-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Culture, power and education
Abstract: Is education merely the
passing on of information in
a classroom, or does it play
a central role in how power
and control are exercised?
Does education stretch
beyond the classroom into
lived culture in our daily lives?
This essay analyses Peter
Mayo’s Culture, Power and
Education: Representation,
Interpretation, Contestation,
focusing on how his expansion
of pedagogy to cultural
institutions reveals the subtle
mechanisms through which
power is reproduced
and contested.2026-04-01T00:00:00ZKeeping neuroscience reliable : building a phantom brain that never thinks but always knowshttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/1458872026-04-24T08:31:11Z2026-04-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Keeping neuroscience reliable : building a phantom brain that never thinks but always knows
Abstract: Neuroscientists usually scan real brains to understand the mind. A team at the University
of Malta is doing the opposite: they are building a fake brain first – not to think, but to keep
neuroscience reliable. Their project, SARA, blends Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(fMRI) with delicate biochemistry in an unlikely marriage that could make brain imaging more
reliable and more reproducible.2026-04-01T00:00:00ZLiving the mystery : inside the mind of Anton Grassohttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/1458832026-04-24T07:58:24Z2026-04-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Living the mystery : inside the mind of Anton Grasso
Abstract: For decades, Anton Grasso, Malta's Master of Horror, has thrilled and
terrified readers with stories of the supernatural. With over 40 years
of writing experience to his name, why are fear and mystery such
compelling topics for Grasso? THINK sits with Grasso to find out
how fear has shaped his art.2026-04-01T00:00:00Z
