University of Texas Press The Myth of the Amateur
Book SynopsisIn this in-depth look at the heated debates over paying college athletes, Ronald A. Smith starts at the beginning: the first intercollegiate athletics competition—a crew regatta between Harvard and Yale—in 1852, when both teams received an all-expenses-paid vacation from a railroad magnate. This striking opening sets Smith on the path of a story filled with paradoxes and hypocrisies that plays out on the field, in meeting rooms, and in courtrooms—and that ultimately reveals that any insistence on amateurism is invalid, because these athletes have always been paid, one way or another.From that first contest to athletes’ attempts to unionize and California’s 2019 Fair Pay to Play Act, Smith shows that, throughout the decades, undercover payments, hiring professional coaches, and breaking the NCAA’s rules on athletic scholarships have always been part of the game. He explores how the regulation of male and female student-athletes has shifted; Trade ReviewThe research [in The Myth of the Amateur] reveals a mind that has been exploring this subject for a long time. By the time he gets to more contemporary matters, such as college athletes’ battle to be compensated for use of their likenesses, the author has covered an impressive stretch of time and topics. A long, winding road of sport and money supported by thorough research. * Kirkus *Rarely is a book published that so comprehensively documents, clearly explains, and coincides perfectly with the very latest state of affairs within a particular American institution. Fortunately for readers, this book is one of them...While certainly contributing an exhaustive historico-philosophical treatise of college sport and its administration for over 150 years, Smith's offering is so much more: a well-told tale of the long and enduring struggle between labor and management. Recent court rulings regarding compensation of college athletes for their names, images, and likenesses wonderfully incorporate, illustrate, and reinforce the author's arguments, and perhaps signal labor's victory over management—at least for now. This is a must-read text for sociologists, historians, philosophers, and labor studies scholars who focus on the institution of sport. * CHOICE *A definitive look at American colleges’ fraught history of paying athletes to play sports...In bringing the narrative up to the present, Smith amply documents the hypocrisy in the insistence that college players should be considered amateurs, and that academic standards were not compromised to accommodate sports...Smith’s exhaustive research paints a disturbing picture of entrenched corrupt practices. Those interested in both education and sports will be enlightened, if dismayed. * Publishers Weekly *Smith provides a comprehensive history of how college athletes have been compensated, the different forms of that compensation, and the role amateurism has played in the legislating of compensation...this book provides a good chronicle of the history of college athletics in the United States and specifically the cyclical nature of college athletics administrators’ attempts at fitting various forms of amateurism into what has always been a commercial enterprise...The Myth of the Amateur can serve as a great resource for both undergraduate or graduate courses on intercollegiate athletics, sport in society, or sport history. * Journal of Sport Management *It is difficult to imagine how one could read this book and still believe that amateurism is a coherent, ethical, or practical idea today...For those interested in the ongoing debate about paying college athletes and how the ideas about amateurism in the United States have evolved over the last century and a half, one could hardly find a better book to read than the Myth of an Amateur. * FanSided *Smith exhibits mastery of the wonderful heritage and rich hypocrisy associated with the history of college sports...Smith is a preeminent historian of American college sports, and The Myth of the Amateur should be an immediate read for any serious study of the topic. * Journal of Sport History *This book is a skillful compendium of college athletics' hypocrisies and exploitative behaviors, particularly useful for sports historians and those interested in athlete rights...Smith proves that amateurism never really existed—and that only by changing the term's definition could the NCAA cling to any vague ideal along those lines. In doing so, he provides a more realistic understanding of college sports' history that will enable a better engagement with the present and the future. * Journal of American History *The Myth of the Amateur offers a detailed, provocative, forceful, and timely reminder that the debates that swirl around the ideals and conduct of college athletics today have an important history. * Journal of Arizona History *Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1.

University of Texas Press Teaching Black History to White People
Book Synopsis Leonard Moore has been teaching Black history for twenty-five years, mostly to white people. Drawing on decades of experience in the classroom and on college campuses throughout the South, as well as on his own personal history, Moore illustrates how an understanding of Black history is necessary for everyone. With Teaching Black History to White People, which is part memoir, part Black history, part pedagogy, and part how-to guide, Moore delivers an accessible and engaging primer on the Black experience in America. He poses provocative questions, such as Why is the teaching of Black history so controversial? and What came first: slavery or racism? These questions don't have easy answers, and Moore insists that embracing discomfort is necessary for engaging in open and honest conversations about race. Moore includes a syllabus and other tools for actionable steps that white people can take to move beyond performative justice and toward racial reparations, healing, and reconciliation. Trade ReviewA trenchant survey of Black history—and an argument for why every American, of every ethnicity, needs to learn it...An important, sympathetic effort to elucidate matters of Black lives while expanding intellectual horizons. * Kirkus *Engaging and thought-provoking for a wide range of readers...Moore sets forth provocative questions—for instance, 'What came first? Slavery or racism?'—while simultaneously providing complex, nuanced answers. * Texas Highways *[A] timely book...Moore guides readers—many of whom Moore, who is Black, presumes will be white—through Black history and his own personal experience in academia. * Texas Observer *Moore is a scholar and professor of history whose passion for teaching oozes off the page...Teaching Black History to White People illustrates his uniquely engaging pedagogy that has won awards and made Moore a highly respected and sought-after professor and speaker...What I like most about this book is that Moore explains how teaching Black history, something he’s done for three decades, was different during the 2020 racial uprisings, and he provides actionable insights for white people (or any non-Black person) to counteract anti-Blackness and racism in America. * EdSurge *An important book that joins the ranks of Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste, Henry Lewis Gates’s Stony the Road: Reconstruction, White Supremacy, and the Rise of Jim Crow, and James W. Loewen’s Lies My Teacher Told Me in assuring that all of American history is preserved and taught. * Southern Literary Review *Table of ContentsIntroduction Teaching White Students about Blackness Teaching Myself Teaching Black Anger Teaching Enslavement and Emancipation Teaching Jim Crow Teaching Black Urbanization Teaching the Civil Rights Movement Teaching Black Power Teaching White Liberals Conclusion Acknowledgments Appendix: Syllabus for History of the Black Experience Suggested Reading Index

Duke University Press The Ocean in the School
Book SynopsisRick Bonus tells the stories of Pacific Islander students at the University of Washington as they and their allies struggled to transform a university they believed did not value their presence into a space based on meaningfulness, respect, and multiple notions of student success.Trade Review"Rick Bonus has provided us with important insights into what it might take to transform colleges and universities so that those who have been historically underserved can thrive in higher education. By placing the experiences of Pacific Islanders at the center of his analysis, Bonus brings incisive critique and profound authenticity to a subject that has bedeviled the efforts of educators for many years. For educators and others who seek to ensure that access to academia is available to marginalized and disadvantaged students, this book will be an eye-opener." -- Pedro A. Noguera, coeditor of * Race, Equity, and Education: Sixty Years from Brown *“In The Ocean in the School, Rick Bonus eloquently shows how indigenous and minority students mobilized against the colonialisms and racisms of higher education. With his focus on the Pacific Islander students of the University of Washington, he demonstrates how they forged a collective identity, protested administrative negligence, developed study groups, and conducted outreach programs. Clearly, Bonus brings much compassion, insight, and rigor to the interplay between Pacific Islander students, multiethnic coalitions, and public education. This book is thus essential reading for anybody who studies the decolonization of modern institutions.” -- Keith L. Camacho, author of * Sacred Men: Law, Torture, and Retribution in Guam *"A well-written depiction of a particular group of students within a particular institution, … the book is a worthwhile read for higher education administrators who are considering how to enact policies and programs that support marginalized students from a diverse range of backgrounds, as well as for educators and scholars who are considering questions of how to act in solidarity with students seeking to create meaningful learning experiences." -- Paulina Haduong * Harvard Educational Review *"A must-read for all aspiring and current university faculty, leaders, and staff who genuinely wish to decolonize their practices and model inclusive excellence at various levels for Pacific Islander students and others who are underrepresented at PWIs." -- Rachel Endo * Journal of Asian American Studies *"The Ocean in the School is a valuable resource for scholars working and researching in higher education and related fields.

Duke University Press Poor Queer Studies
Book SynopsisMatt Brim shifts queer studies away from sites of elite education toward poor and working-class students and locations, showing how the field is driven by those flagship institutions that perpetuate class and race inequity in higher education.Trade Review“Through his ethnographic accounts of the lives of his students, Matt Brim charts out in startling detail how queer studies produces class inequity. Having all the makings of a classic in queer studies and pedagogy studies, his book should be required reading in every intro to queer studies course at the undergraduate and graduate level. The field has needed Poor Queer Studies for a long time.” -- E. Patrick Johnson, author of * Honeypot: Black Southern Women Who Love Women *“Matt Brim's stunning Poor Queer Studies forces us to look at higher education through the lens of inequality to consider the ramifications of what he calls the ‘overrepresentation of affluence’ within academe. He assesses the ways faculty in programs dedicated to race, gender, and sexuality are marginalized, overworked, and undercompensated, then flips the equation to examine inequalities within and across these fields. Whether amassing demographic data or offering beautiful and challenging readings of key texts, Brim is relentlessly on target. His sweep and depth are breathtaking.” -- Cathy N. Davidson, author of * The New Education: How to Revolutionize the University to Prepare Students for a World in Flux *"A damning critique of the impact of academic elitism on poor and working-class students. . . . Poor Queer Studies lays bare the structural and disciplinary mechanism of inequality, from overcrowded classrooms and inadequate educational resources to more basic deficiencies of the underprivileged such as homelessness, lack of access to food, healthcare, and childcare, and more." -- Donald Padgett * The Advocate *"Provocative and timely. . . . Poor Queer Studies will be valuable reading if you work at any institution of higher education—poor or rich; public or private; urban or rural; elitist or not—because it offers indispensable tools for navigating the crises of the academy. Brim challenges readers to imagine what a queer-class analysis might yield not just for their own scholarship and teaching, but for the lives of their students and the worlds they inhabit." -- Nino Testa * Women's Review of Books *"This is a huge theoretical, methodological and political contribution to Queer Studies and in particular, Queer Pedagogies. Finishing this book leaves an uncomfortable doubt about how much and for whom are we allegedly queering academy and universities." -- Luan C. B. Cassal * Ethnic and Racial Studies *"Any professional concerned with equity in higher education would do well to read this analysis of the stultifying inattention to the lives of poor and working-class LGBTQ individuals within the field of queer studies. . . . This is not a guide for instruction (i.e., there is no recommended curriculum or a listing of suggested texts), but rather a powerful examination of the field of queer studies and, more broadly, of its place within the context of efforts to make higher education more inclusive and welcoming to all seeking its benefits. Highly recommended. Faculty and professionals." -- H. M. Miller * Choice *"Ostensibly a book about the discipline of queer studies, it actually provides a searing, astute indictment of what's wrong with the academy writ large. If you read only one book about the state of the academy, it ought to be Poor Queer Studies." -- Rhea Rollmann * Popmatters *“Brim provides thorough, detailed, researched explanations of the arguments regarding just what Poor Queer Studies is and what it aims to do…. Poor Queer Studies is a much-needed resource to challenge us all to think about how we engage in Queer Studies, Queer Theory, and Queer Pedagogy across class and race. It is especially timely given where we find ourselves as a country with respect to issues and discussions of race and class as well as discussions regarding the importance of higher education.” -- R. Bradley Johnson, et al * Teachers College Record *“This is a compassionate book, a book written by someone who possesses enough humility to learn from his poor and working-class students, particularly those of color, and to put that learning at the center of a book that is ironically—as he points out himself—published by a high-end university press.” -- Renny Christopher * Journal of Working-Class Studies *"Poor Queer Studies offers nothing short of a proposal for a radically inclusive queer pedagogy." -- Velina Manolova * Public Books *“Where Poor Queer Studies offers field-upending provocations, its author comes across as modest and pragmatic, evincing an admirable solidarity in his insistence on the significance of his students’ experiences and his colleagues’ contributions.... It should be assigned in every proseminar on college teaching.” -- Kim Emery * GLQ *"[Brim's] reflections on the frustrations and joys of teaching queer studies classes to poor and working-class students at the chronically underfunded CSI are heartfelt and enraging. . . . The book is at its best when chronicling the many obstacles facing CSI’s students, many of whom live at home with parents and siblings, have children of their own, and more-likely-than-not hold down full-time jobs while enrolled." -- Eleanor J.

Book SynopsisWritten for humanities graduate students and the faculty they study with, Katina L. Rogers's Putting the Humanities PhD to Work grounds practical career advice in a nuanced consideration of how graduate training can lead to meaningful and significant careers beyond the academy.Trade Review“Covering every conceivable aspect of rethinking doctoral education in the humanities, Katina L. Rogers offers sound and sage advice on topics ranging from inclusion and diversity in graduate programs to the need for better mentoring and the relegitimization of the humanities in the public sphere. Her exceptionally timely, important, knowledgeable, and necessary book fills a real need in the humanities.” -- Michael Bérubé, coauthor of * The Humanities, Higher Education, and Academic Freedom: Three Necessary Arguments *“Katina L. Rogers deftly skewers narrowed notions of scholarly success and makes an urgent case for graduate education as a pathway to practical, meaningful work. This book is right on time. We need versatile, thinking people in the postpandemic public sphere and the humanities in the driver’s seat for structural changes to come.” -- Bethany Nowviskie, Dean of Libraries and Professor of English, James Madison University"Written from a first-person perspective by the author and providing a review of resources and interviews, Katina L. Rogers’s book is a refreshing look at the subsequent pathways for academics within the humanities to explore when the traditional road to success within the academy has been upended. . . . This book does something special—it empowers, if not emboldens, the humanities doctorate, and encourages them to see the world in a way that is deserving of their time and hard work." -- Kristen Vogt Veggeberg * LSE Review of Books *"Perhaps the most useful thing about Rogers’ book is that it offers ways to start making change–right away–no matter your position in the academy. . . . The task of reforming humanities graduate training for the better is something for us all to take on–students as well as teachers. It’s up to all of us, and we all have a role to play.

Duke University Press We Are Not Dreamers
Book SynopsisThe contributors to We Are Not Dreamerswho are themselves currently or formerly undocumentedcall for the elimination of the Dreamer narrative, showing how it establishes high expectations for who deserves citizenship and marginalizes large numbers of undocumented youth.Trade Review“We Are Not Dreamers is a captivating counternarrative that smashes the false distinction between deserving and undeserving immigrants worthy of human rights in the United States. By centering the voices of undocumented scholars, Leisy J. Abrego and Genevieve Negrón-Gonzales capture the complexity of experiences, the intersectionality of identities, and the raw devastation and resilience of undocumented life. This book has the power to transform both public discourse and public policy on immigration and is required reading for my documented friends, family, and colleagues—as well as my undocumented students.” -- Laura Emiko Soltis, Executive Director and Professor of Human Rights, Freedom University“We Are Not Dreamers has the potential to shape both the focus and practices of immigration scholarship by encouraging scholars to write with rather than merely about undocumented groups and by highlighting the particular insights that come from experiencing illegalization. This volume is a model for how faculty can support students and will be an inspiration to others. Powerful and informative.” -- Susan Bibler Coutin, author of * Exiled Home: Salvadoran Transnational Youth in the Aftermath of Violence *“Rich with the details about the unique ways undocumented scholars grapple with the realities of what they are thinking and living through, this book is for families, parents, self-proclaimed dreamers and non-dreamers, citizens, students, and scholars in all fields.” -- Silvia Rodriguez Vega * Latinx Project *“We Are Not Dreamers ... forcefully addresses limitations in the research on undocumented immigrants and aggressively counters the reductive framings of undocumented life so often seen as necessary for political advancement.” -- William D. Lopez * Journal of American Studies *"The anthology’s most clear and remarkable accomplishment is this (re)assertion of the agency and voice of undocumented scholars. They had for too long only read scholarship about the experiences of undocumented migrants by authors who were not undocumented themselves. And meanwhile, undocumented scholars had often been denied the opportunity to participate in academic institutions as producers of knowledge. . . . . Taken together, their essays offer deep insight into the work produced by undocumented scholars who are redefining 'research' and 'academic production': both who gets to produce these and the form and methods through which they are produced." -- Debbie M. Duarte * Public Books *“An essential read for students and scholars of immigration, [We Are Not Dreamers] offers important theoretical and empirical contributions to topics as varied as racialization processes, schooling, activism, illegality, liminality, gender and sexuality, family, citizenship, and the experiences and (lack of) opportunities that undocumented immigrants encounter more broadly. . . . Several of the book’s takeaways will be . . . illuminating and generative for students and researchers across contexts.” -- Carlos Aguilar * Anthropology & Education Quarterly *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ix Introduction / Leisy J.

Duke University Press Point of Reckoning
Book SynopsisTheodore D. Segal narrates the fraught and contested fight for racial justice at Duke University—which accepted its first black undergraduates in 1963—to tell both a local and national story about the challenges that historically white colleges and universities throughout the country continue to face.Trade Review“Point of Reckoning is a remarkable and unforgettable story that traces the white racial foundations of Duke University while uncovering how whiteness actively resists change in the face of Black dehumanization. Segal renders the unremarkable existence of racism remarkable and painfully reveals what happens to a dream deferred—it explodes. As we currently bear witness to Black suffering and inequity, righteous indignation and Black protests near and far, Point of Reckoning is an urgent text that offers hope as it dares to illuminate the past in order that we might not be condemned to repeat it.” -- George Yancy, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Philosophy at Emory University“In vivid detail, Theodore D. Segal introduces us to men and women, Black and white, who tried to differentiate between integration and desegregation, between being welcomed and included and remaining true to themselves as Black Americans and becoming darker versions of white Americans. As Segal uncovers, not only did the actors have conflicting notions of what was at stake, but they often differed on what was desired. In that sense, he exposes the long history of today's raging debates on campus about race and diversity.” -- Professor Earl Lewis, Director and Founder of the Center for Social Solutions, University of Michigan"[A] doggedly researched narrative . . . [providing] a candid view of institutional resistance to social justice and its dismantling by determined activism.” * Kirkus Reviews *"Excellent, accessible. . . ." -- Mark I.

Duke University Press We Are Not Dreamers
Book SynopsisThe contributors to We Are Not Dreamerswho are themselves currently or formerly undocumentedcall for the elimination of the Dreamer narrative, showing how it establishes high expectations for who deserves citizenship and marginalizes large numbers of undocumented youth.Trade Review“We Are Not Dreamers is a captivating counternarrative that smashes the false distinction between deserving and undeserving immigrants worthy of human rights in the United States. By centering the voices of undocumented scholars, Leisy J. Abrego and Genevieve Negrón-Gonzales capture the complexity of experiences, the intersectionality of identities, and the raw devastation and resilience of undocumented life. This book has the power to transform both public discourse and public policy on immigration and is required reading for my documented friends, family, and colleagues—as well as my undocumented students.” -- Laura Emiko Soltis, Executive Director and Professor of Human Rights, Freedom University“We Are Not Dreamers has the potential to shape both the focus and practices of immigration scholarship by encouraging scholars to write with rather than merely about undocumented groups and by highlighting the particular insights that come from experiencing illegalization. This volume is a model for how faculty can support students and will be an inspiration to others. Powerful and informative.” -- Susan Bibler Coutin, author of * Exiled Home: Salvadoran Transnational Youth in the Aftermath of Violence *“Rich with the details about the unique ways undocumented scholars grapple with the realities of what they are thinking and living through, this book is for families, parents, self-proclaimed dreamers and non-dreamers, citizens, students, and scholars in all fields.” -- Silvia Rodriguez Vega * Latinx Project *“We Are Not Dreamers ... forcefully addresses limitations in the research on undocumented immigrants and aggressively counters the reductive framings of undocumented life so often seen as necessary for political advancement.” -- William D. Lopez * Journal of American Studies *"The anthology’s most clear and remarkable accomplishment is this (re)assertion of the agency and voice of undocumented scholars. They had for too long only read scholarship about the experiences of undocumented migrants by authors who were not undocumented themselves. And meanwhile, undocumented scholars had often been denied the opportunity to participate in academic institutions as producers of knowledge. . . . . Taken together, their essays offer deep insight into the work produced by undocumented scholars who are redefining 'research' and 'academic production': both who gets to produce these and the form and methods through which they are produced." -- Debbie M. Duarte * Public Books *“An essential read for students and scholars of immigration, [We Are Not Dreamers] offers important theoretical and empirical contributions to topics as varied as racialization processes, schooling, activism, illegality, liminality, gender and sexuality, family, citizenship, and the experiences and (lack of) opportunities that undocumented immigrants encounter more broadly. . . . Several of the book’s takeaways will be . . . illuminating and generative for students and researchers across contexts.” -- Carlos Aguilar * Anthropology & Education Quarterly *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ix Introduction / Leisy J.

Duke University Press A Black Intellectuals Odyssey
Book SynopsisMartin Kilson—the first tenured African American professor at Harvard—takes readers on a fascinating journey from his upbringing in a small Pennsylvania mill town to his experiences as an undergraduate to pursuing graduate study at Harvard before spending his entire career there as a faculty member.Trade Review“A challenging, original, and exacting intellectual, Martin Kilson was also a generous, supportive teacher and mentor. His unforgettable voice permeates this memoir, which re-creates the world as he found it and then transformed it. The field of African and African American Studies owes a profound debt to his unyielding demand for scholarly rigor and also to his faith in its centrality to higher education.” -- Henry Louis Gates Jr.“As the first African American tenured professor at Harvard, Martin Kilson, marked a symbolic milestone in American higher education as part of a founding generation of Black professors in prestigious white institutions. This status makes him into a figure of historic import, so that how he saw himself becomes not just one man's story, but an indexical way of thinking about one's place in American life in a particular time and place. Intensely personal, A Black Intellectual's Odyssey is an important intellectual text.” -- Nell Irvin Painter, Edwards Professor of American History Emerita, Princeton University"Kilson’s Odyssey heightens the contradictions involved in what it means to be successful and Black in America. Indeed, it compels us to ask what success means in the context of a capitalist white supremacist heteronormative society." -- Joshua L. Crutchfield * Black Perspectives *Table of ContentsForeword.

Duke University Press Complaint
Book SynopsisDrawing on oral and written testimonies from academics and students who have made complaints about harassment, bullying, and unequal working conditions at universities, Sara Ahmed examines what we can learn about power from those who complain about abuses of power.Trade Review“Sara Ahmed always has her finger on the pulse of the times as she assists us to explore the deeper meanings and philosophical nuances of quotidian concepts and practices. Beautifully written and thoroughly engaging, Complaint! is precisely the text we need at this moment as we seek to understand and transform the institutional structures promoting racism and heteropatriarchy.” -- Angela Y. Davis“In her latest contribution to our knowledge, Sara Ahmed gifts us with a book about the phenomenology of complaint and the layered, entangled complexity of how power works institutionally. She foregrounds that to complain is to transgress. To transgress is to become a site of negation. To negate is to trigger an institution into protecting the status quo through risk-adverse processes that are experienced as violent and exhaustive. Ahmed’s intellectually expansive book achieves two things: it exposes the meaning, experiences, and perceptions of complaint and provides testimony to the courage of those who complain, who fight, who believe justice should not just appear to be done; it must be done.” -- Aileen Moreton-Robinson, author of * Talkin’ Up to the White Woman: Indigenous Women and Feminism *"[Ahmed] presents a strong argument that power in higher education tends to protect itself, that diversity initiatives are often nothing more than window dressing, and that those who file complaints about a hostile work environment often face accusations of disloyalty or troublemaking. . . . Most of the charges here are broad and general, but anyone who has worked in higher education will recognize much of what Ahmed brings to light. Sharp criticism of an overlooked systemic problem in higher education." * Kirkus Reviews *"In her powerful new book . . . Sara Ahmed builds on a series of oral and written testimonies from students and employees who have complained to higher education universities about harassment and inequality. Here, she asks readers to think about some inescapable questions: What happens when complaints are pushed under the rug? How is complaint radical feminism? And, how can we learn about power from those who choose to fight against the powerful?" -- Rebecca Schneid * Indy Week *"This is audacious but persuasive critique, which accrues its power by stealth. Complaint! is dense with insight, but admirably lucid." -- Zora Simic * Australian Book Review *"Inspired by the students she worked with, Ahmed’s new book examines the act—indeed, the feminist pedagogy—of complaining within an organization. With the help of testimonials from individuals who filed complaints of harassment, bullying, and abuse at Goldsmiths and other universities, Ahmed explores the cracks within these formal systems and illustrates the painful processes that survivors experience too often." -- Yvette Dionne and Rosa Cartagena * Bitch *"An absolutely brilliant endeavor. . . . The real nuance and sophistication of this book, written with such emotional and intellectual insight, the means by which Ahmed identifies strategies of institutional power in relation to power in relation to harassment and abuse is revelatory, thorny, painful, and very, very necessary." -- Linda M. Morra * Getting Lit with Linda *"Sara Ahmed’s Complaint! is an antidote to apathy. . . . The potent reminder that Ahmed offers is that we are not the ones with the problem, that a number of voices raised up in complaint can help identify that the problem lies elsewhere." -- Eda Gunaydin * Sydney Review of Books *"It’s feminism that isn’t out to win friends but should certainly influence people. It’s angry because anger is required. And it’s collective and inclusive. . . . ever quick to pick up on ironies and contradictions, she nails it time after time. 'Making a complaint is often necessary because of a crisis or trauma,' she writes, but 'the complaint often becomes part of the crisis or trauma.' Such phrases characterise Ahmed’s Möbius band idiolect; they hit home because of the writer’s extraordinary skill." -- Emma Rees * Times Higher Education *"Ahmed brings great authority and gravity to Complaint!, from her own experiences (she resigned from an institution after they mishandled a series of complaints), her engagement with a “complaint collective” in the UK, and her decades-long scholarship in feminist, queer, and race studies. Black feminism and women of color feminism anchor the book. The author does not flinch at the difficult intersections where one underrepresented or traditionally marginalized group seems at odds with another; instead, she examines the effects of complaint in each area of these intersections, retaining her sharp focus on an analysis of power dynamics." -- Ellen Mayock * Public Books *"This is another insightful book in Ahmed’s well-regarded series of considerations of what acting as a feminist in non-feminist institutions means. . . . Highly recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty; professionals." * Choice *"Ahmed illuminates how institutions like the university are designed for precisely the people who can and continue to flourish while miming theoretical righteousness and perpetuating violent norms." -- Anna Nguyen * LSE Review of Books *“Complaint! offers catharsis, collectivity, and care. It is an archive of complaint, it is a radical call to action, and it is a feminist record. It is also beautifully written, deeply painful, and absolutely necessary at this very moment.” -- Catherine Oliver * Gender, Place & Culture *"This book is inspiring and a source of solidarity. It provides encouragement to protest and fight for change. And whilst no doubt a difficult read for university leaders, they should read it to help them reflect on what is happening in their institutions and learn how they can truly implement those policies and practice to bring about fair and just equality of opportunity." -- Gill Crozier * British Journal of Sociology of Education *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments xi Introduction: Hearing Complaint 1 Part I.

Book SynopsisTimothy V. Kaufman-Osborn outlines the history of American higher education's formal organization as an incorporated autocracy that is tied to capitalism, arguing that the academy must reconstitute itself in accordance with the principles of democratic republicanism in which members choose who govern and can hold them accountable.Trade Review"The book is extraordinarily important at precisely this moment when we need to think seriously about how dangerous our institutions’ bylaws are and how devastating it is that we never found a way to give shared governance doctrinal heft or to enshrine faculty control over curricula into law. The path to Commonwealth University—the name Kaufman-Osborn gives to his imaginary member-incorporated institution of higher education—is murky, but we can and should start to renegotiate our governance rules." -- Jennifer Ruth * Academe *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments vii A Prologue in the Form of a Puzzle 1 I.

Duke University Press The Autocratic Academy
Book SynopsisTimothy V. Kaufman-Osborn outlines the history of American higher education's formal organization as an incorporated autocracy that is tied to capitalism, arguing that the academy must reconstitute itself in accordance with the principles of democratic republicanism in which members choose who govern and can hold them accountable.Trade Review"The book is extraordinarily important at precisely this moment when we need to think seriously about how dangerous our institutions’ bylaws are and how devastating it is that we never found a way to give shared governance doctrinal heft or to enshrine faculty control over curricula into law. The path to Commonwealth University—the name Kaufman-Osborn gives to his imaginary member-incorporated institution of higher education—is murky, but we can and should start to renegotiate our governance rules." -- Jennifer Ruth * Academe *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments vii A Prologue in the Form of a Puzzle 1 I.

Book SynopsisOffers one hundred rules that every first year law student should live byDear Law Student: Here's the truth. You belong here. Law professor Andrew Ferguson and former student Jonathan Yusef Newton open with this statement of reassurance in The Law of Law School. As all former law students and current lawyers can attest, law school is disorienting, overwhelming, and difficult. Unlike other educational institutions, law school is not set up simply to teach a subject. Instead, the first year of law school is set up to teach a skill set and way of thinking, which you then apply to do the work of lawyering. What most first-year students don't realize is that law school has a code, an unwritten rulebook of decisions and traditions that must be understood in order to succeed. The Law of Law School endeavors to distill this common wisdom into one hundred easily digestible rules. From self-care tips such as Remove the Drama, to studying tricks like Prepare for Class like an Appellate ArgumentTrade Review"A powerful, timely, and relatable guide!

Book SynopsisA critical history of the Americanization of legal education in fourteen countriesThe second half of the twentieth century witnessed the export of American powerboth hard and softthroughout the world. What role did US cultural and economic imperialism play in legal education? American Legal Education Abroad offers an unprecedented and surprising picture of the history of legal education in fourteen countries beyond the United States. Each study in this book represents a critical history of the Americanization of legal education, reexamining prevailing narratives of exportation, transplantation, and imperialism. Collectively, these studies challenge the conventional wisdom that American ideas and practices have dominated globally. Editors Susan Bartie and David Sandomierski and their contributors suggest that to understand legal education and to respond thoughtfully to the mounting present-day challenges, it is essential to look beyond a particular region and consider not only the ideTrade Review"Bartie and Sandiomerski have brought together a distinguished group of authors who together encourage us to reflect on the extent to which the American model of legal education has been accommodated (or resisted) around the world. In addition to providing revealing insights into the ways in which different jurisdictions have interpreted the notion itself, the collection succeeds in demonstrating the ways in which local circumstances have influenced the way reception of American legal education has played out, with very different results. A fascinating read." -- Fiona Cownie, Professor of Law Emerita, Keele University"This fascinating collection of essays by eminent legal scholars and historians examines the global influence of American legal education. The essays are by no means formulaic, as the impact of American legal education is considered in the light of each country’s varied historical and political context, whether it be decolonization in Nigeria or post-Soviet experience in Estonia. The essays also eschew the simplistic and one-dimensional view that American legal education was accepted without question, as there was actual resistance on the part of France, for example, and Japan regarded it as irrelevant." -- Margaret Thornton, Professor of Law Emerita, The Australian National University"This excellent selection of essays presents the US law school in all its duality as both a powerful global cultural imaginary, and a highly contingent set of local practices. In its nuanced and geographically wide-ranging assessment of the ‘Americanization’ project, this book provides an important resource for scholars of the history and globalization of legal education." -- Julian Webb, Professor of Law, Melbourne Law School, Australia"Contributors to Bartie and Sandomierski’s volume present a critical history of the Americanization of legal education in fourteen countries. They argue that the second half of the twentieth century witnessed the export of power—both hard and soft—throughout the world, and they focus on the effect of US cultural and economic imperialism on legal education. Collectively, these studies challenge the conventional wisdom that American ideas and practices have dominated globally." * Law and Social Inquiry *"American Legal Education Abroad–Critical Histories is a book that deserves to be read by any legal scholar, particularly those interested in comparative legal history… it is an important contribution to the theory of legal transplants and adds a significant piece to the literature on the ‘Americanisation’ of law and legal culture." * Comparative Legal History *

With this definitive chronicling of black students organizing, demanding, and sometimes protesting to blacken the exclusively white Ivy League, Stefan Bradley shows us once again why he is the historian of the Ivy black activist. There may be nothing more powerful than the student activist, and Upending the Ivory Tower again shows us why." -- Ibram X.

In Upending the Ivory Tower, he as turned his attention black student activism in the Ivy League. This is a brilliant book about how the Black Power Movement reached the elites halls of higher education. In a moment when 21st century black student activists in the Ivy League and across the country are demanding more faculty of color, wanting more accountability for anti-black pedagogy and policy, and declaring that black lives matter, Upending the Ivory Tower is an important and necessary history of black student activism in higher education." -- Derrick W. White,Dartmouth College"Upending the Ivory Tower is a critical but scrupulous exposition of some of the major changes that overtook the American academyand American culture in generaltoward the end of the storied 1960s. Although Stefan Bradley views these changes mainly through the lens of the privileged Ivy League, he never loses sight of either the steep price of such historic privilege or the more democratic and equally dynamic mainstream of American university life. His book is an invaluable record of institutional change in a few schools that manages nevertheless to capture the spirit of a transformational moment when some of our most venerable ideas about education, race, and power changed forever." -- Arnold Rampersad,Sara Hart Kimball Professor Emeritus in the Humanities, Stanford

The BSU was a politicized student organization that had chapters across the West Coast and played a prominent role in the student wing of the Black Power Movement. Through accounts of Black student struggles at two different college campuses in Washington, one urban and one rural, Marc Arsell Robinson details how the BSU led highly consequential protest campaigns at both institutions and beyond, which led to reforms such as the establishment of Black Studies programs, increased hiring of Black faculty and staff, and new initiatives to recruit and retain students of color.Washington State Rising is the first book to document 1960s Black student activism in the Pacific Northwest and includes eTrade ReviewIlluminates and broadens our understanding of the important role that Black students played in the Black Power Movement in the racially homogeneous regions of the Pacific Northwest.

Book SynopsisReveals the historical and political significance of The Divine Ninethe Black Greek Letter OrganizationsIn 1905, Henry Arthur Callis began his studies at Cornell University. Despite their academic pedigrees, Callis and his fellow African American students were ostracized by the majority-white student body, and so in 1906, Callis and some of his peers started the first, intercollegiate Black Greek Letter Organization (BGLO), Alpha Phi Alpha. Since their founding, BGLOs have not only served to solidify bonds among many African American college students, they have also imbued them with a sense of purpose and a commitment to racial upliftthe endeavor to help Black Americans reach socio-economic equality.

Parks and Matthew W. Hughey have expanded the fascinating history of Black Greek Letter Organizations by delving into the fraternities and sororities’ role as social welfare safety nets and as organizations on the cutting edge of social reform, civic education, and civil rights. In examining the racial uplift the organizations provide, they discuss the achievements of notable fraternity members like W. E. B. Du Bois, Thurgood Marshall, Leon Ransom, Hayzel B. Daniels, and others who emerged as renowned leaders in education and civil rights. Importantly, Parks and Hughey also scrutinize the state of today’s BGLOs and their current decline in commitment to racial uplift, which must be changed through leadership. -- Grand Sire Archon Gregory J. Vincent, Sigma Pi PhiWhen we talk about scholarship, and our continued understanding of the Black fraternal movement, Dr. Gregory Parks and Dr. Matthew Hughey have contributed an important addition to our knowledge with their new book, A Pledge with Purpose: Black Sororities and Fraternities and the Fight for Equality.

New York University Press Fixing Law Schools
Book SynopsisAn urgent plea for much needed reforms to legal education The period from 2008 to 2018 was a lost decade for American law schools. Employment results were terrible. Applications and enrollment cratered. Revenue dropped precipitously and several law schools closed. Almost all law schools shrank in terms of students, faculty, and staff. A handful of schools even closed. Despite these dismal results, law school tuition outran inflation and student indebtedness exploded, creating a truly toxic brew of higher costs for worse results. The election of Donald Trump in 2016 and the subsequent role of hero-lawyers in the resistance has made law school relevant again and applications have increased. However, despite the strong early returns, we still have no idea whether law schools are out of the woods or not. If the Trump Bump is temporary or does not result in steady enrollment increases, more schools will close. But if it does last, we face another danger. We tend to hope that crises bring Trade Review"A swashbuckling and informative critique of legal education… Indispensable for law school personnel and for students contemplating attending law school" * Choice *"Barton provides an excellent exploration, in a very readable style, of what American law schools have experienced since the 2007 recession.

It is a brilliant book, complete with stunning photographs...essential reading" * Academe *"Richly nuanced in its discussion of points of conflict and affiliation with radical white students and divisions over tactics, rhetoric, and ultimate goals among African Americans, both within academia and in the surrounding communities." * Journal of American History *"Fascinating and ambitious, Upending the Ivory Tower breathes of meticulous research and analysis from beginning to end. With this definitive chronicling of black students organizing, demanding, and sometimes protesting to blacken the exclusively white Ivy League, Stefan Bradley shows us once again why he is the historian of the Ivy black activist. There may be nothing more powerful than the student activist, and Upending the Ivory Tower again shows us why." -- Ibram X. Kendi,award-winning author of The Black Campus Movement and Stamped from the Beginning"Stefan Bradley is one of the foremost scholars of the black student movement. In Upending the Ivory Tower, he as turned his attention black student activism in the Ivy League. This is a brilliant book about how the Black Power Movement reached the elites halls of higher education. In a moment when 21st century black student activists in the Ivy League and across the country are demanding more faculty of color, wanting more accountability for anti-black pedagogy and policy, and declaring that black lives matter, Upending the Ivory Tower is an important and necessary history of black student activism in higher education." -- Derrick W. White,Dartmouth College"Upending the Ivory Tower is a critical but scrupulous exposition of some of the major changes that overtook the American academyand American culture in generaltoward the end of the storied 1960s. Although Stefan Bradley views these changes mainly through the lens of the privileged Ivy League, he never loses sight of either the steep price of such historic privilege or the more democratic and equally dynamic mainstream of American university life. His book is an invaluable record of institutional change in a few schools that manages nevertheless to capture the spirit of a transformational moment when some of our most venerable ideas about education, race, and power changed forever." -- Arnold Rampersad,Sara Hart Kimball Professor Emeritus in the Humanities, Stanford

University of Toronto Press Nothing Less than Great
Book SynopsisCanada’s public higher education system is in trouble. The economic and social benefits of the Canadian university system are widely seen as a public good, which raises a pressing question: Why should we aspire to anything less than a great system? For that to happen, everything about the way universities currently operate, from the boardroom to the classroom, must change but this kind of operational and public policy transformation will not be easy. Nothing Less than Great provides an expert analysis of the current state and challenges of Canada’s university system, looking for positive change by reclaiming what a university is meant to offer for society and for citizens. Harvey P. Weingarten begins with the fundamental question that all students must ask about higher education: Is it worth going to university? From there, he stresses the need for transparency about what universities do and what they accomplish, addresses the importance of modernizing cTrade Review"Nothing Less than Great benefits from this experience and knowledge of institutions across the country with which [Weingarten] dealt during his time as president of Calgary. He knows the nuances of the relationship between Ontario universities and the government from his time at HEQCO. The book is chock full of data culled from a wide array of studies and secondary sources." -- Patricia Hughes, Independent Scholar * Slaw *"Nothing Less than Great is an honest and insightful attempt to stress the current and urgent necessity of putting the word "great" into our academic institutions. It's an urgent plea to not be frightened of innovation, even if it sometimes fails. And that's a good message to hear from a profoundly intelligent and incisive mind at such a critical juncture on so many fronts." -- John Fraser * Literary Review of Canada *Table of ContentsAbout the Title Acknowledgments and Dedication 1.

University of Toronto Press Test Pattern
Book SynopsisScarborough was the first North American university college planned from its inception for television. Closed-circuit TV was fully integrated into its physical fabric and academic program. Videotaped lectures, backed up by small group discussions, were to replace many live lectures. The plan was calculated not only to bring the best lectures abailable to all students, but to save the taxpayers about one million dollars a year. The savings have not resulted; new questions of academic rights and copyright have been raised; and the value of television as a replacement medium is left in doubt. John Lee has written a comprehensive and easily read report of the experiement, its results, and its effects on the internal life of the college. His approach is sociological. While not ignoring the obvious effect of individual personalities involved in the experiment, he contends that the main events were products of the social conditions and forces of time -- among them a rapidly rising student

University of Toronto Press Changing Legal Objectives
Book SynopsisThese essays were presented originally as lectures at the official ceremonies which marked the opening of the new Law Building in the University of Toronto. The book is intended to be a sharing of the ideas of the eminent lecturers with the community at large as well as a reminder of what was a happy and significant event in the life of one university. The theme running throughout the four essays is the phenomenon of law, like art, constantly racing to catch up with experience. Each author considers this phenomenon in the context of a problem on which he is a specialist. Cecil A. Wright opens the volume with a fresh and eloquent look at some basic questions in legal education: the place of the law school in the university, the lawyer's struggle with specifics under the shadow of general principles, the need for more understanding of the law in action, and the requirements of research in the social sciences. Principal J.A. Corry draws attention to the impress of social changes

University of Toronto Press Saskatchewan
Book SynopsisThis volume tells the story of the University from its beginning to the end of its first and most formative period in 1919-20. At his death in 1945, Professor Arthur S. Morton left uncompleted a manuscript of a history of the University; and from his material Dr. Carlyle King has extracted and assembled this book. During the preparation of the manuscript, Professor Morton secured the collaboration of his long-time colleagues in furnishing memoranda about particular aspects of University history, and was in constant communication with Dr. Murray, who provided for his use letters and documents, gave him access to the proceedings of the Board of Governors, and drew upon his personal recollections.Professor Morton’s expressed intention in undertaking the history was to give “a clear exposition of the principles on which the University was founded and by which it has been governed.” As Dr. King points out, this intention is realized within the framework of the prese

The Mount Alliance Wesleyan Academy for boys was opened in Sackville, News Brunswick, in 1843, four years after its foundation had been proposed by the local merchant Charles Frederick Allison. Although it was a Methodist institution, its students came from several religious denominations. In 1854, a branch academy for female students was opened, and eight years later the degree-granting college that ultimately became known as Mount Allison University.Although the college remained for many years the smallest of the three institutions in terms of student number
