The University of Alabama Press Turning the Tide The University of Alabama in the 1960s
Book SynopsisDocuments the period when a handful of University of Alabama student activists formed an alliance with President Frank A. Rose, his staff, and a small group of progressive-minded professors in order to transform the university during a time of social and political turmoil. Together they engaged in a struggle against Governor George Wallace and a state legislature that reflected the worst aspects of racism.Trade Review“Earl Tilford’s carefully researched and beautifully written account of the university during a time of transition and turmoil is a must read for Alabama alumni of any era.” —Dag Rowe, Class of 1969""This is not the last word on Bama in the '60s, before cellphones, texting and the need for a 4.0 to get into law school retranquilized the student body, but for those who were there and for those who wish they were, it is required reading."" —The Tuscaloosa News""Tilford’s is a balanced, thoughtful, indeed, objective assessment of that era. His ability to keep the story flowing into the transitional 1970s without advocacy or rancor, but with factual assessment, makes this a valuable book not only for alumni, but for those who want to see how a major institution changed into what it is today."" —The Decatur Daily“The way Tilford weaves in social phenomena like fraternities, beauty pageants, football, and other student activities will find a ready audience among students of that era. The book will also appeal to the aging baby boomer population now looking back on that formative period of their lives, the 1960s. This book is a real page-turner.” —John David Briley, author of Career in Crisis: Paul “Bear” Bryant and the 1971 Season of Change“Turning the Tide is essential reading for anyone who ever worked for, attended, or has been a fan or supporter of the University of Alabama. Then, too, anyone interested in the way changes in higher education foretold changes in contemporary society during the tumultuous 1960s will be fascinated by this book.” —Roger Sayers, former president of the University of Alabama

Duke University Press Anxious Intellects
Book SynopsisIntellectuals occupy a paradoxical position in contemporary American culture. This title discusses how critics have conceived of the intellectual's role in a pluralised society, weighing intellectual authority against public democracy, universal against particularistic standards, and criticism against the respect of popular movements.Trade Review“Anxious Intellects introduces fresh material and a generally new tone into the discussion of the quarrels now familiarly known as the culture wars. Readers will welcome its efforts to disabuse parties on both sides of some of their more comforting fantasies about intellectual labor and to move the debate about intellectuals and politics onto more fruitful terrain.”—Ellen Rooney, Brown University“Anxious Intellects is a state-of-the-art assessment of the function of intellectuals at the turn of the century. Michael’s astute and generous commentary on recent developments in this long tradition is especially relevant, coming at a time when human intelligence is becoming the staple industrial unit of the new economy.”—Andrew Ross, New York University“Seeking ‘an embattled middle ground,’ Michael offers sustained and always astute commentary on the mixed results of the intellectual’s status in the United States today.”—Chris Newfield, University of California, Santa BarbaraTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction: Fundamental Confusion Part One: Cultural Authority, Enlightenment Traditions, and Professional Anxiety 1.

MD - Duke University Press Learning Places
Book SynopsisExamines the institutions and productions of area studies and explores what it takes to "learn a place."Trade Review“Area studies is in crisis, seemingly rendered marginal and anachronistic in a globalizing world. Yet, paradoxically, knowledge of histories, geographies, cultures, ecologies, and geopolitical tensions has become crucial if the public is to understand the dangers as well as the promises of globalization. Miyoshi and Harootunian here assemble a talented group of scholars to probe deeply into this contradiction. They convincingly argue that area studies needs to be completely revamped if not dissolved into new knowledge structures within the academy if it is to fulfill its mission. This challenges all of us to rethink disciplinary allegiances and past ways of knowing in critical as well as constructive ways.”—David Harvey, author of Spaces of Hope and Spaces of Capital“Bringing together an unusually wide range of concerns, Learning Places offers a theoretical account of Asian area studies and a moral and political critique of past and recurrent practices of epistemic violence. The political urgency of this type of work makes this a timely collection. This important book opens up a series of debates that must be had between the new humanities, area studies, and the disciplines.”—Michael Dutton, editor of Streetlife ChinaTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction: The “Afterlife” of Area Studies Ivory Tower in Escrow / Masao Miyoshi Ando Shoeki - “The Forgotten Thinker” in Japanese History / Tetsuo Najita Objectivism and the Eradication of Critique in Japanese History / Stefan Tanaka Theory, Area Studies, Cultural Studies: Issues of Pedagogy in Multiculturalism / Rey Chow Signs of Our Times: A Discussion of Homi Bhabha’s The Location of Culture / Benita Parry Postcoloniality’s Unconscious / Area Studies’ Desire / H.

Duke University Press Ivy and Industry
Book SynopsisEmphasizing how profoundly the American research university has been shaped by business and the humanities alike, this title offers a vital contribution to debates about the corporatization of higher education in the United States.Trade Review“Christopher Newfield’s application of the management model and metaphor to the academic scene leads him into what is by far the freshest and most nuanced argument on the corporatization of the university that I can think of.”—Bruce Robbins, author of Secular Vocations: Intellectuals, Professionalism, Culture“In this compellingly argued book, Christopher Newfield puts current discussions of the corporatization of higher education in a completely new and historically informed light. As Newfield shows, the marriage of ivy and industry is both older and more complex than current critiques of the university have suggested.”—Gerald Graff, author of Clueless in Academe: How Schooling Obscures the Life of the Mind“Ivy and Industry makes a seminal contribution to the mounting debate over the role of marketplace values in higher education. In elegant and nuanced prose, Christopher Newfield argues persuasively that for more than a century the American university has both spoken truth to, and been the handmaiden of, power.

Duke University Press Debating Moral Education
Book SynopsisAfter decades of marginalization in the secularized twentieth-century academy, moral education has enjoyed a resurgence in American higher education, with the establishment of over one hundred ethics centres and programs on campuses across the country. This book debates the role of ethics in the university.Trade Review“Recently colleges and universities that had for many years distanced themselves from their students’ growth as moral agents have begun taking this aspect of higher education very seriously. In this book they will find the issues laid out with admirable clarity and the fresh ideas and approaches they need to do the work well.”—W. Robert Connor, Professor of Classics, Emeritus, Princeton University“Some of the best scholars in the field engage in the contemporary debate over the nature and scope of moral education, especially in American universities. Anyone wishing to trace this complex but fascinating debate would do well to read Debating Moral Education.” —Terence Ball, author of Reappraising Political Theory“This excellent collection of essays provides a timely and thoughtful account of the perils and prospects of moral education in our time. The contributors are prominent moral philosophers, political theorists, and civic educators whose different perspectives—some enthusiastic, others wary—make for a lively and reflective volume. The issues raised in this important book will interest and challenge students and educators in a context defined by related debates over academic freedom, intelligent design, and the ever-present culture wars.”—James Farr, University of Minnesota“Debating Moral Education makes an indispensable contribution to moral education’s expanding bibliography.” -- Jerry Pattengale * Books & Culture *“[An] engaging collection of essays by prominent scholars from religious, philosophical, and political backgrounds who debate the role of morality and ethics in the university. . . . Readers who begin this book can easily imagine themselves caught up in the unfolding, urgent, but friendly controversy of scholarly opinions regarding moral education.” -- Lois Calian Trautvetter * Review of Higher Education *“Elizabeth Kiss and Peter Euben's Debating Moral Education brings together an impressive group of philosophers, political scientists and, in the case of Stanley Hauerwas, a theologian to discuss these matters. . . . The strength of the volume lies in the editors' determination to give voice to a range of different views and leave readers (free) to pick their own way through.” -- J.

In this way, it invites frequent re-reading, creating a richer understanding of the micropolitics of student activism upon each re-read." -- Yatun Sastramidjaja * Contemporary Southeast Asia *“Activist Archives can be called a definitive work that will be prized as perhaps the best ‘biography’ of a generation of Indonesian urban activism.” -- Abidin Kusno * Pacific Affairs *“Activist Archives is an important exploration of the 1998 Indonesian student movement and its ongoing influence, adding greatly to our knowledge of student movements and democratization in postcolonial settings.” -- Rachel Rinaldo * International Journal of Urban and Regional Research *"Activist Archives undoubtedly offers us a new approach to the analysis of Reformasi, student and youth politics in the recent history of Indonesia.

But they certainly don't operate the way they did 150 or even 50 years ago. In this original and timely book, noted scholar and teacher Evan Watkins uses vocational education as a lens to focus on the dramatic changes that are currently taking place in the areas of work, choice, and higher education, which have led to new processes of class formation. He also shows how, if we challenge the assumptions about the magic of the economy, those of us who work in postsecondary education--including, and perhaps especially, the humanities--have a unique opportunity to "use where we are" to bring into being a social world without exploitation." -- -David F.

Fordham University Press How to Be an Intellectual
Book SynopsisThis book sheds academic obscurity to tell the story of trends in contemporary literary and cultural criticism and the state of the American university. It collects noted and new essays by Jeffrey J. Williams, who regularly publishes in Dissent, the Chronicle of Higher Education, and LARB, as well as major academic venues.Trade Review"This is a book full of shrewd insights, illuminating and suggestive histories of how the intellectual has been and could be. The criticism without footnotes approach helps bring the crucial questions into a much clearer and open light than is usual. In short, it helps to make its reader an intellectual. This is a vital and necessary book." -- -Thomas Docherty Left History: A Interdisciplinary Journal of Historical Inquiry and Debate "Jeffrey Williams has provided ample evidence here of a passionate and principled intellectual engagement with the political and financial interests that are combining forces to gut higher education. There could not be a better time for all of us working in the academy to follow his example." -Academe "No one has chronicled the lives and times of modern intellectuals as astutely as Jeff Williams. The breadth and depth of this brilliant guidebook to the shifting landscape of the last quarter-century showcases his unparalleled talents as a critic, reporter, editor, scholar, and independent thinker." -- -Andrew Ross New York University "Jeff Williams makes the case that the university, thanks in part to the dramatic loss of job security for faculty, is no longer marginal to American life, but central to it. His book is compulsively readable, lucid without being populist. It makes you see that while being an intellectual is hard in all sorts of ways, old and new, it's still worth giving it a try." -- -Bruce Robbins Columbia University "'How to Be an Intellectual' can best be recommended because of Williams scathing and fact-filled indictment of colleges, in concert with the politicians, who have decided that the education biz is just that: a business." -- Irving Spivak -RALPH & The Folio "The book's 32 essays cover a vast stretch of territory, from profiles of prominent critics to the impacts of student debt to an analysis of how universities are portrayed in film... The book thus draws connections between 'post-welfare state university' and everything from the importance of being 'smart' to the 'conceptual shrinkage' in literary theory." -InSide Higher Ed "For more than twenty years, Jeff Williams has been one of the indispensable critics of the politics of American higher education, and one of the most reliable and perceptive commentators on the intellectual trajectory of cultural studies. Since taking over the minnesota review in the early 1990s (when he was what, maybe twenty years old?), he has also become something else: the most astute and rigorous interviewer in the business. No one has even attempted to perform the kind of interlocutor/archaeologist role Jeff has defined for himself-and I am not sure anyone could. Every essay here, and every interview, offers an invaluable demonstration of how to be a responsible, engaged, and organic intellectual." -- -Michael Berube Director, Institute for the Arts and Humanities, Pennsylvania State University "The 'criticism without footnotes' that Jeffrey Williams proposes and enacts in How to Be an Intellectual makes for lively and engaging reading. His shrewd assessments of contemporary critical pashas, schools, and fashions are necessary reading for anyone involved in the literary and cultural issues of our times." -- -Laura Kipnis "The scope of this book is astonishing, and Williams in one of the very few academic writers who could have pulled it off." -- -Frank Donoghue The Ohio State University "Critics, books, journals, institutions, money: Jeffrey Williams takes on the many faces of the humanities in this engaging book. If only more scholars wrote with such verve and clarity! How to be an Intellectual is the perfect guide to the idiosyncrasies of academic life." -- -Rita Felski University of VirginiaTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction Part One: The Politics of Criticism 1.

Fordham University Press Traditions of Eloquence The Jesuits and Modern
Book SynopsisTrade Review"There is a treasure trove of conceptual, historical, and curricular gems embedded in this collection." -- -James Murphy Professor Emeritus of English, University of California, Davis "Gannett and Brereton have crafted a volume that will be useful to anyone who cares about student literacies and the ways in we teach students to be effective rhetors--and writers. Not merely for those directly involved in studying the Jesuit rhetorical tradition or for those teaching at Jesuit-affiliated institutions, Traditions of Eloquence will educate many scholar-teachers in composition and rhetoric, as well as their graduate students, about a practicable and richly significant heritage to which we all can lay claim." -- -Deborah Holdstein Columbia College Chicago "The phrase 'Jesuit education' has long connoted intellectual rigor and social justice. Perhaps less well known is the Jesuits' interest in the pursuit of eloquence. From their earliest beginnings, the Society of Jesus placed rhetoric at the center of work as teachers, preachers, and confessors. Traditions of Eloquence reminds us of this heritage and reveals it to be alive and well in the twenty-first century. This collection will prove crucial both for those who wish to understand the 'Ministries of the Word,' and-even more importantly-for those who wish to practice and perfect them." -- -Paul L.

Fordham University Press When Ivory Towers Were Black A Story about Race
Book SynopsisTrade Review[Sutton] examines the development and unraveling of an experimental education initiative at Columbia University's School of Architecture that arose out of the school's 1968 student rebellions, aimed at recruiting of minority students and transforming the school's curriculum into "humanistic, justice-oriented" education... The recollections of the alumni that infuse and inform the text... give the book value as an oral history." -Publishers Weekly "Sutton tells a story that has yet to be told: a time, an era, a passion, a hope, a tale recounted with the skill and energy of a mystery novel. She tells of young people who believed that the injustices they found on their college campuses also believed that they could be righted, that racism could be battled and defeated. When Ivory Towers Were Black encourages us to reflect on the dreams, hopes, battles and defeats as a way of measuring how far we have come-and how far there is yet to go." -- -Diane Ghirardo University of Southern California

Boydell & Brewer Ltd A History of Emmanuel College Cambridge
Book SynopsisEmmanuel's history encompasses Puritanism and links with Pilgrim Fathers, and continuing involvement in theological debate. Discussion of college finances on scale never previously attempted in Oxbridge college history.Emmanuel College was founded by the royal minister Sir Walter Mildmay in 1584; he chose a leading moderate puritan, Laurence Chaderton, as first Master, and aimed to educate godly ministers and good preachers. This history presents its development from these beginnings to the present day. They show how the college's original puritan character gave way to the liberal views of the Cambridge Platonists and the high churchmanship of William Sancroft, instrumental in bringing Christopher Wren to design the new college chapel; and how during the nineteenth century, as with other Cambridge colleges, it expanded in numbers and disciplines, becoming once again a notable centre of theology,and for the first time the home of serious teaching in the natural sciences. It has had a role in all the movements of the twentieth century which have made Cambridge what it is today: in learning, teaching, sport, and social life. A special feature of the book is the substantial account of the history of the college estates and finances, on a scale never before attempted for an Oxbridge college.Dr SARAH BENDALLis Fellow Librarian and Archivistof Merton College, Oxford; CHRISTOPHER BROOKE is Dixie Professor Emeritus of Ecclesiastical History, University of Cambridge; PATRICK COLLINSONis Professor Emeritus of Modern History at the University of Cambridge.Trade ReviewFor those with a particular interest in religious history this book has a great deal to recommend it.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Creativity and Entrepreneurship Changing Currents
Book SynopsisWhile creativity and entrepreneurship may appear to be unlikely allies, they are increasingly intersecting to produce economic and social value in new and exciting ways.Trade ReviewIn recent years, we've seen a proliferation of "support tools" for thinking, decision-making, learning, creativity, collaboration, and performance. Creativity and Entrepreneurship launches discussions toward a much-needed synthesis. Wake Forest University's implementation of entrepreneurship theory and action beyond and despite disciplinary borders provides a richly networked context to foment the discussions. The provocative essays in this collection will cast a new a set of tools to make us sing and help us thrive. --Carol Strohecker, UNC School of the Arts, Winston-Salem State University and the Center for for Design InnovationThis is a timely book that establishes the imperative for advancing creativity and entrepreneurship in the 21st century, not just for economic development, but more importantly, for social and moral growth. The book demonstrates the transformative possibilities of embedding creative practice and interdisciplinary exploration in our schools, businesses, and communities. But, the authors also acknowledge the institutional challenges and constraints that often stand in the way of creative entrepreneurs. With a clarion call for better research and more sophisticated theories, Creativity and Entrepreneurship suggests we might be able to make radical changes in some of our most crucial public arenas - education, medicine, politics and more. --Steven J. Tepper, Vanderbilt UniversityCreativity and Entrepreneurship speaks to an experiment in which we are all today participating - in academia, in research, in commercial enterprise and in culture. Moving beyond traditional borders, sometimes because we must and other times simply because we can, we have the chance to learn, to discover, and occasionally to reinvent the world. We have not quite created a language for all of this, a perfectly rational way of articulating what it means to think and act and collaborate beyond borders, and that may be worth a little celebration. Certainly it makes this book that Lynn Book and David Phillips have brought to us, fresh, original, and absolutely worth reading. --David Edwards, Harvard UniversityTable of ContentsContents: Introduction Lynn Book and David P.

The authors have produced a rigorous yet easy to read book that is full of information, advice and practical tips for the International student. Reading and using this book will improve the quality of the experience for both the student and their teacher.'- Roger Palmer, Henley Business School, UK 'This book provides an excellent insight into the means of gaining the most out of an international education. It is simple in language, invaluable in cross-cultural behaviour guidance, meaningful in challenging stereotypes, and useful in self-reflection. Quotes from students bring cultural differences to life.' - Ayse Saka-Helmhout, University of Surrey, UK 'Learning in the Global Classroom is an excellent reference for both university students and for academics who take their responsibilities seriously. This book makes study in another county more do-able, and is very timely given the increasing push for internationalization in universities. What could be an overwhelming challenge for the potential international student is tackled in a logical, reassuring way, with practical strategies that cover personal, social and academic issues. For most students, this text will be an ongoing reference, to be referred to as situations arise. Issues that academics often complain about with regard to non-Western students are addressed, such as learning how to speak up in class discussions, critical thinking and punctuality. The text also offers sage advice that would be valuable to students who are returning to study after a prolonged absence. I will certainly recommend this book to both colleagues and students.' ---Paddy O'Toole, Monash University, AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: 1. Introduction 2. The Global Classroom 3.
