Contemporary Irish Poetry and the Climate Crisis by Andrew J. Auge; Eugene OBrien
ISBN: 9780367714086
Publication Date: 2021-11-01
"Contemporary Irish Poetry and the Climate Crisis addresses what is arguably the most crucial issue of human history through the lens of late twentieth and early twenty-first century Irish poetry. The poets that it surveys range from familiar presences in the contemporary Irish literary canon-Seamus Heaney, Derek Mahon, Paula Meehan, Moya Cannon-to lesser known figures, such as the experimental poet Maurice Skelly, contemporary poets Stephen Sexton and Sean Hewitt, and the Irish language poets Simon Ó Faoláin, Bríd Ní Mhóráin and Máire Dinny Wren. Adopting a variety of ecotheoretical approaches, the essays gathered here address several interrelated themes crucial to the climate crisis: the way in which the scalar scope of climate change interweaves local and global, distant past and imminent future, nature and culture; the critical importance of acknowledging the complex kinship of the human and nonhuman; the necessity of warning against the devastating environmental losses to come while mourning those that already occurred. Ultimately, by envisioning new ways of existing on an earth that humans no longer dominate, this book engages in what the philosopher Jonathan Lear refers to as a process of radical anticipation."

Julien Dubuque by Robert Klein
ISBN: 9780578629209
Publication Date: 2020-05-08
Dubuque author Robert F. Klein presents a fully researched and documented study of the life of this Iowa pioneer. This first permanent white settler in Iowa lived in harmony with his Native American neighbors in the Upper Mississippi River Valley, engaging in farming, lead mining, and general trading at a time when the United States was just in its early formation period with thirteen colonies on the east coast. Dubuque, however, was living in the western wilderness on lands controlled by Spain, France, or England - at various times. He established a small trading post where a village of 30 or so people worked and lived in the backwoods. This book describes the life and times of this intrepid Frenchman - Julien Dubuque.

Beyond Biology by Jacob M. Kohlhaas
ISBN: 9781647121129
Publication Date: 2021-11-01
A breakthrough in the theology of parenthood, integrating Catholic social thought and social scientific studies of child well-being in order to offer a more diverse and inclusive interpretation The Catholic Church has a long and diverse history of tolerating various child-rearing arrangements. The dominant Catholic framework for conceptualizing parenthood, however, is highly influenced by concerns over sexual ethics and gender norms. While sexual and reproductive ethics are important, the present consensus that theological consideration of parenthood necessarily hinges on these matters diverts attention from actual parenting practices in their social and cultural contexts. In reality, kinship and caregiving are often negotiated in complex ways. In Beyond Biology, Jacob M. Kohlhaas uses a historical and interdisciplinary theological method that engages both analytically and appreciatively with tradition to sketch a broader Catholic anthropology of parenthood. Kohlhaas's identification of interpretive options within the Catholic tradition creates room for meaningful, intellectually convincing, and theologically rich responses to challenges facing Catholic parents and families today. By marshaling the diversity of the Christian tradition and exploring contemporary research in the social sciences and humanities, Kohlhaas frames a theological conversation on parenthood as parenthood ? considering the needs and well-being of children as well as the potentials and capabilities of adult caregivers. In his discussion, Kohlhaas considers adoption and nonbiological parenthood, fathers as primary caregivers and nurturers, caregiving by siblings and grandparents, and communal parenting and coparenting beyond the spousal pair. In Kohlhaas's view, conceptions of parenthood should be guided by the meaning of Christian kinship rooted in baptism as well as concern for the actual caregiving capacities of adults and the needs of children.

Cultivating Vocation in Literary Studies by Stephanie Johnson (Editor); Erin VanLaningham (Editor)
Call Number: 807 C89
ISBN: 147449000X
Publication Date: 2022-01-20
The concept of 'vocation' has garnered significant attention as a means of speaking about purposeful living and the multiple responsibilities of civic life, which converge with the broader goals of liberal education. This volume addresses the important role that literary studies can and should play in that conversation. With attention to the forms, voices and praxis of the discipline, and informed by the public humanities, these thirteen chapters address critical questions for cultivating vocation in students: How might the varied fields within literary studies invite students to consider meaning and purpose? How might our pedagogies and theories of interpretation inform the direction of their lives? The chapters offer readers a new language and framework for reinvigorating literary studies as a productive means to answer life's most significant questions, while also modelling how vocational exploration can be incorporated into multiple disciplines and contexts. The volume as a whole positions literary studies as vital to the conversation about value, civic engagement, and purpose as it shapes not only the lives of students but also the future of higher education.

Stalinism, Maoism, and Socialism in Higher Education by Lee S. Zhu
Call Number: 378.4709 Z61
ISBN: 9783030887766
Publication Date: 2021-11-20
This book is a comparative study of the endeavors to create a socialist system of higher education in the Soviet Union under Stalin and in China under Mao. It is organized around three themes: the convergence of Maoism with Stalinism in the early 1950s, which induced the transnational transplantation of the Soviet model of higher education to China; historical convergence between Stalinism of the First Five-Year Plan period (1928-1932) and Maoism of the Great Leap period (1958-1960), which was prominently manifested in Soviet and Chinese higher education policies in these respective periods; the eventual divergence of Maoism from Stalinism on the definition of socialist society, which was evinced in the different final outcomes of the Maoist and Stalinist endeavors to create a socialist system of higher learning.
