While Annie and Nate Dawson and friends and family in the O’Farrell Street boardinghouse await a blessed event, Laura Dawson finds herself investigating why a young Berkeley student dropped out of school in the fall of 1880.

Book Synopsis Women Scholars: Navigating the Doctoral Journey by : Jelane A. Kennedy
Download or read book Women Scholars: Navigating the Doctoral Journey written by Jelane A. Kennedy and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over and over, studies have concluded that the doctoral experience is a monumental challenge in higher education, particularly for women. This book, Women Scholars: Navigating the Doctoral Journey, provides an enlightening ethnographic look at women and their doctoral developmental experiences. The book’s aim is to empower women to be able to contextualize their experience while also offering support and inspiring readers to consider alternative ways to successfully approach the doctoral process. Women anticipating and entering the life of academia will benefit from the voices and experiences shared by the women scholars in this book. The essay writers in this volume offer an examination of critical incidents in their doctoral experiences and offer strategies they have found helpful in managing those incidents. The book also addresses challenges presented by the transition from doctoral study to post-doc employment. The volume presents 46 essays from 40 women representing a range of ages, ethnicities, academic disciplines, sexual orientations, family circumstances, and family educational histories. Their stories are told in five stages: Stage 1: Preadmission to Enrollment Stage 2: First Year of Program Stage 3: Second Year Through Candidacy Stage 4: The Dissertation Stage Stage 5: Completion and Transition to Employment These are stories of empowerment, of pitfalls and barriers overcome, of successful negotiations of the graduate school process, of the joys and challenges of scholarly pursuits, of positive help-seeking behaviors and strategies, and of life after the dissertation is completed. Potential applicants for doctoral studies will walk away with a sense that graduate education is possible and that one can be successful. Higher educators in doctoral programs, as well, will acquire a deeper understanding and appreciation for the idiosyncratic challenges facing their female students and, one hopes, develop policies and/or strategies and behaviors that empower and encourage these students’ completion of their doctoral studies.
Book Synopsis Academic Pursuits by : Guy R McPherson
Download or read book Academic Pursuits written by Guy R McPherson and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gary had the perfect job, the perfect wife, the perfect dog, indeed, it was the perfect life, and yet, somehow, he was making a perfect mess of it all. Being a high-ranking professor of journalism at his university put him in the awkward position of not only needing to know the truth but also to share it. He was getting a reputation for having a big mouth. Teaching that kind of idealism to his students was getting harder when his superiors were watching his every move and hoping he wouldn't notice their shenanigans. They were ready to go to any lengths to keep him quiet, and he was ready to fight back with the almighty powerful pen, and a bunch of scrappy students.A hilarious romp through the ivory towers of a state university, inspired by not so true events, fantastically unrealistic characters, and completely fabricated names and places-"wink, wink". Sprinkled with Merge-Matics like "Night of the Living Dead Poets Society: A mid-career professor in the humanities continuously re-lives the same poor performance in the classroom, as much to his own chagrin as that of his students." This is the first work of fiction by the legendary Dr. McXtinction, a.k.a., Guy McPherson. Written over two decades ago, this second edition is sure to entertain and maybe even inspire.

Book Synopsis Professing to Learn by : Anna Neumann
Download or read book Professing to Learn written by Anna Neumann and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research, teaching, service, and public outreach—all are aspects of being a tenured professor. But this list of responsibilities is missing a central component: actual scholarly learning—disciplinary knowledge that faculty teach, explore in research, and share with the academic community. How do professors pursue such learning when they must give their attention as well to administrative and other obligations? Professing to Learn explores university professors’ scholarly growth and learning in the years immediately following the award of tenure, a crucial period that has a lasting impact on the academic career. Some launch from this point to multiple accomplishments and accolades, while others falter, their academic pursuits stalled. What contributes to these different outcomes? Drawing on interviews with seventy-eight professors in diverse disciplines and fields at five major American research universities, Anna Neumann describes how tenured faculty shape and disseminate their own disciplinary knowledge while attending committee meetings, grading exams, holding office hours, administering programs and departments, and negotiating with colleagues. By exploring the intellectual activities pursued by these faculty and their ongoing efforts to develop and define their academic interests, Professing to Learn directs the attention of higher education professionals and policy makers to the core aim of higher education: the creation of academic knowledge through research, teaching, and service.

Book Synopsis Professor Royce's Libel by : Francis Ellingwood Abbot
Download or read book Professor Royce's Libel written by Francis Ellingwood Abbot and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Book Synopsis William Hickling Prescott by : Peter O. Koch
Download or read book William Hickling Prescott written by Peter O. Koch and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-04-27 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Hickling Prescott (1796-1859) was one of those rare historians who effectively melded history and literature in an elegant, compelling writing style that appealed to the casual reader, while still meeting the strict criteria of the scholar. Prescott was the first American historian to achieve international recognition with his critically acclaimed History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella. Plagued by poor vision and chronic health issues, he was determined to make his mark as a historian. His follow-up work, The History of the Conquest of Mexico, is considered his masterpiece. Prescott went on to write A History of the Conquest of Peru, History of the Reign of Philip II and a 200-page addendum to William Robertson's History of the Reign of the Emperor Charles V. Drawing on correspondence and journal entries, this book traces the life of one of America's most celebrated historians.
Book Synopsis Celebrating Intellectual Curiosity by : Michael Gose
Download or read book Celebrating Intellectual Curiosity written by Michael Gose and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating Intellectual Curiosity: Kindergarten Through College Scholarship and Research broadens the perspective on academic pursuits. Curiosity needs to be cultivated at all school levels. All formats of scholarship and research contribute to increased human understanding. The criteria for evaluating different scholarly activity needs to be well matched with the respective format. Both Scientific and Artistic standards need to be considered for a deeper appreciation of intents and results. Grade school children would be well served by being schooled in the four traditional areas of university faculty evaluation: teaching-learning; scholarship; service; and colleagueship. The book uses vignettes and stories to establish the complexities and utility of varying forms of research. Criteria are identified that fit the respective approaches. The study looks at The Scholarship of Teaching; The Scholarship of Teaching as Action Research: Creative Artistry; Arts Based Research; The Scholarship of Service; Curriculum Development; The Scholarship of the Student. The complementary nature of the variety of scholarships reveals an underlying Ecology of Education that relies upon a great diversity in roles to maintain a healthy system.
