  Public Faces, Secret Lives: A Queer History of the Women's Suffrage Movement

  Wendy L. Rouse

  The women’s suffrage movement, much like many other civil rights movements, has an important and often unrecognized queer history. In Public Faces, Secret Lives Wendy L. Rouse reveals that, contrary to popular belief, the suffrage movement included a variety of individuals who represented a range of genders and sexualities. However, owing to the constant pressure to present a “respectable” public image, suffrage leaders publicly conformed to gendered views of ideal womanhood in order to make women’s suffrage more palatable to the public. Rouse argues that queer suffragists did take meaningful action to assert their identities and legacies by challenging traditional concepts of domesticity, family, space, and death in both subtly subversive and radically transformative ways. Queer suffragists also built lasting alliances and developed innovative strategies in order to protect their most intimate relationships, ones that were ultimately crucial to the success of the suffrage movement. Public Faces, Secret Lives is the first work to truly recenter queer figures in the women’s suffrage movement, highlighting their immense contributions as well as their numerous sacrifices.

  《中國哲學研究的方法論反思：比較哲學與哲學分析》(Reflections on Methodology in Studies of Chinese Philosophy: Comparative Philosophy and Philosophical Analysis)

  Bo Mou

  This edited anthology is a sister volume with Bo Mou’s recent monograph book Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy: A Constructive-Engagement Account (New York and London: Routledge, 2020 /2022 paperback). The theme of this volume is to give a further theoretic exploration of the complementary relation between two major general methodologies in doing philosophy in view of contemporary studies of Chinese philosophy, i.e., comparative-philosophy methodology (as a general way of doing philosophy through cross-tradition engagement toward world philosophy, of which foregoing monograph book gives a systematic exploration) and analytic methodology (one representative methodology in contemporary studies of philosophy). This edited volume thus has its general methodological significance in doing philosophy (not only to studies of Chinese philosophy) and further enhance the theoretic and methodological points made in the monograph book on this front of research.

  Rhetoric and Guns

  Lydia Wilkes, Nate Kreuter, and Ryan Skinnell

  Rhetoric and Guns collects 14 chapters from scholars in rhetoric, communication, education, and related fields to elucidate the relationship of rhetoric and guns. Guns and gun violence occupy a unique rhetorical space in the United States, one characterized by silent majorities, vocal minorities, and a political stalemate that fails to stem the tide of the dead. Guns are ever present in the US, they exercise powerful functions, but they are commonly talked about in oblique, unsystematic ways. The authors in this book hope to advance more direct, systematic engagement with rhetoric about guns, guns in rhetoric, and guns as rhetoric.

  CHANGE!: A Guide to Teaching Social Action

  Scott Myers-Lipton

  CHANGE! A Guide to Teaching Social Action is for faculty, staff, and students who are interested in developing a college course or co-curricular experience using social action. Social action occurs when everyday people band together to develop their power in order to change policy. What distinguishes a social action class from other social change courses is that students are actively involved in enacting a policy change of their choice, thus providing students with a first-hand experience of democracy and power. As part of the social action class, students can start a new campaign, keep a campaign going from the previous semester, reactivate a campaign from a previous year, or join a community campaign. The goal of this book is to train the next generation of democratic citizens and participants. The hope is that if teaching social action is mainstreamed in higher education, students will be able to do democracy more effectively, and help to preserve it at the same time. More specifically, the book provides an overview of the history of college social action, explores what needs to be considered before starting a social action class, explains how students choose their campaigns and launch them, and how students plan, implement, and evaluate their campaigns.

  Tabitha Hart

  What do you do when you are a newcomer in a cultural group and you must find your way?

The text helps readers develop richer and more nuanced understandings not only of the different cultures they are members of but also their own roles in an increasingly multicultural and global society. The book is grounded in an interpretive theoretical/ methodological framework of the ethnography of communication and speech codes theory, and guides readers through the process of applying this framework to any setting of their choice. Throughout, the text introduces theoretical concepts and pairs them with applied activities that require readers to engage in ethical fieldwork, data collection, and analysis. Readers are then challenged to document their experience, communicate what they have learned, and participate in deep reflection. Featuring a unique methodology and highly practical information, Exploring Cultural Communication from the Inside Out is exemplary for courses in intercultural communication, language and culture, sociolinguistics, and communication research.
