  Assault on Kids: Hyper-accountability, Corporatization, Deficit Ideologies and Ruby Payne are Destroying our Schools

  Roberta Ahlquist, Paul Gorski, and Theresa Montaño

  This book critiques the conservative neoliberal educational reform agenda; a remaking of U.S. public schooling into a private and corporate enterprise. This agenda is an assault on students and teachers. It includes high stakes standardization of both curriculum and testing, and threatens teacher efficacy and student engagement. The book is a social justice call to action to save public schools, and push back against this regressive agenda.

  They Suck, They Bite, They Eat, They Kill: The Psychological Meaning of Supernatural Monsters in Young Adult Fiction

  Joni Richards Bodart

  Teen readers have always been fascinated by monsters, but lately it seems like every other young adult (YA) book is about vampires, zombies, or werewolves. These works are controversial because they look at aspects of life and human nature that adults prefer to keep hidden from teenagers. But this is also why they are so important: they provide a literal example of how ignoring life’s hazards won’t make them go away, and demonstrate that ignorance of danger puts one at greater risk. Bodart examines six different monsters in YA fiction (vampires, shapeshifters, zombies, unicorns, angels, and demons), discusses the meaning of these monsters in cultures all over the world, and explores their history and most important incarnations in teen fiction.

  Masculinities in Higher Education: Theoretical and Practical Considerations

  Jason Laker

  Masculinities in Higher Education provides empirical evidence, theoretical support, and developmental interventions for educators working with college men both in and out of the classroom. The critical philosophical perspective of the text challenges the status-quo and offers theoretically sound educational strategies to successfully promote men’s learning and development. Contesting dominant discourses about men and masculinities and binary notions of privilege and oppression, the contributors examine the development and identity of men in higher education today. This edited collection analyzes the nuances of lived identities, intersections between identities, ways in which individuals participate in co-constructing identities, and in turn how these identities influence culture.
