Book excerpt: Frank Guittard, for years history department chair at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, was facing his personal Everest. His university president Samuel P. Brooks had strongly advised him to go back to school and earn his doctorate. So now at age fifty-six Frank was sweating blood at Stanford as the oldest student in the room and occasionally wondering why he had agreed to do it. Brooks, who was not well at the time, had his own ultimate challenge--defending against an unrelenting fundamentalist archenemy intent on exposing alleged evolutionists on Baylor's faculty, the battle requiring Brooks to adopt increasingly aggressive defensive strategies to protect academic freedom. These lively, colorful letters from the 1920s by an unassuming professor and his family are bound to entertain, resonate, and inform with their "everyman" and "you are there" feeling. Frank's family members went about their normal, everyday lives. Praise for A Ph.D.'s Reverie: The Letters "...eminently enjoyable..." - Kimberly R.

Book Synopsis The Idea of the PhD by : Frances Jennifer Kelly
Download or read book The Idea of the PhD written by Frances Jennifer Kelly and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Idea of the PhD: The doctorate in the twenty-first-century imagination analyses the PhD as it is articulated in diverse areas of contemporary discourse at a time in which the degree is undergoing growth, change and scrutiny worldwide. It considers not just institutional ideas of the PhD, but those of the broader cultural and social domain as well as asking whether, and to what extent, the idea of the Doctor of Philosophy, the highest achievable university award, is being reimagined in the twenty-first century. In a world where the PhD is undergoing significant radical change, and where inside universities, doctoral enrolments are continually climbing, as the demand for more graduates with high-level research skills increases, this book asks the following questions: How do we understand how the PhD is currently imagined and conceptualised in the wider domain? Where will we find ideas about the PhD, from its purpose, to the nature of research work undertaken and the kinds of pedagogies engaged, to the researchers who undertake it and are shaped by it? International in scope, this is a text that explores the culturally inflected representation of the doctorate and its graduates in the imagination, literature and media. The Idea of the PhD contributes to the research literature in the field of doctoral education and higher education. As such, this will be a fascinating text for researchers, postgraduates and academics interested in the idea of the university.
Book Synopsis A Practical Psychoanalytic Guide to Reflexive Research by : Joshua Holmes
Download or read book A Practical Psychoanalytic Guide to Reflexive Research written by Joshua Holmes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Practical Psychoanalytic Guide to Reflexive Research offers an accessible guide to enriched qualitative research. In this novel approach, the researcher’s feelings and empathy in relation to participants take centre stage, leading to fresh, exciting and usable research findings. The psychoanalytic concept of reverie refers to those startling and unexpected images, feelings and daydreams which can come to mind as we interact with other people in the world. Qualitative research involves interacting with human subjects, and the book shows how uncanny or troubling reverie experiences can be turned to good use by being linked back to deeper research questions and hypotheses. Joshua Holmes critically explores the role of self-reflection (reflexivity) in psychoanalysis and qualitative research. Practical guidance is offered while planning research; conducting research interviews; analysing interview data; teaching methods which foster the capacity for reverie; and in relation to research groups. Examples are given throughout, including the author’s own missteps along the way, in which he shares the importance of learning from experience. The book breathes life into research processes offering much-needed clinical relevance. The method moves away from one-size-fits all, formulaic research procedures and brings tenor, colour and texture into the research process, to create vivid, real-life meaningful findings. A Practical Psychoanalytic Guide to Reflexive Research will be essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate qualitative researchers wishing to enhance their reflexive practice, while psychotherapists and psychoanalysts will find a genuinely psychoanalytic research method, where their clinical skills become vital capacities rather than an awkward hindrance.

This decision takes a disastrous turn when the mobsters attack his home, killing his wife and the three FBI agents assigned to protect them. David, although wounded, survives, but is now a prime suspect and is forced to flee. Hunted by the FBI and the Russian mob, David escapes to the one place where he thinks no one will ever find him—a remote shieling or shepherd’s hut in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. As he struggles to survive in the harsh wilderness, David’s refuge is invaded by Catriona Gordon, a young anthropology student who has come to research old shielings. Resentful of each other’s presence, little do either of them realize how Catriona’s deep dive into history will bring the catastrophic events of David’s own past roaring back into the present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

It will be of immense value to counsellors and psychotherapists in training and practice, as well as for related mental health professionals and those with an interest in the caring professions.

Book excerpt: What happens when the pastor of a mega church loses his faith? Discover one man’s life-changing journey to resolve his crisis of faith in Italy by retracing the footsteps of Francis of Assisi, a saint whose simple way of loving Jesus changed the history of the world. Pastor Chase Falson lost his faith in God, the Bible, evangelical Christianity, and his super-sized megachurch. When he fell apart, the church elders told him to go away—as far away as possible. Broken, Chase crossed the Atlantic to Italy to visit his uncle, a Franciscan priest. There, he was introduced to the revolutionary teachings of Saint Francis of Assisi and found an old, but new way of following Jesus that heals and inspires. Chase Falson's spiritual discontent mirrors the feelings of a growing number of Christians who walk out of church asking, Is this all there is? This book is perfect for believers who are: Weary of celebrity pastors and empty calorie teaching Disappointed by worship services where the emphasis is more on Lights, Camera, Action than on Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Tired of the deepest questions of life remaining unaddressed and unanswered Remain hopeful and seek to strengthen their faith Hidden in the past lies the future of the church. Explore the life of a saint who 800 years ago breathed new life into disillusioned Christians and a Church on the brink of collapse. Chasing Francis is a hopeful and moving story with profound implications for those who yearn for a more vital relationship with God and the world.

Book Synopsis Recent American Art Song by : Keith E. Clifton
Download or read book Recent American Art Song written by Keith E. Clifton and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2008-09-05 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent American Art Song: A Guide is a reference source devoted to songs with English texts by American composers, written for solo voice and piano. The book focuses exclusively on art song since 1980, a substantial period largely ignored by scholars. This is the first study to examine this repertory in detail, and many of the songs and composers are discussed in print for the first time. Keith E. Clifton has examined approximately 1000 songs by nearly 200 composers. Many songs employ musical idioms well beyond traditional classical styles, including references to jazz, musical theater, rap, and rock & roll, and several songs blur the boundaries between recital and stage works. Organized alphabetically by composer, entries contain complete biographical and bibliographical information, with major works and links to print resources and composer websites when available. In addition, Clifton provides detailed information on the vocal range, musical style, and appropriate voice type for individual songs. The book concludes with a full discography and bibliography, as well as indexes listing the works by poet, song cycle, title, voice type, and level of difficulty.
