Shirley Reekie
This book chronicles the development of what started as the first public system of physical activity (now typically housed in departments of Kinesiology) in higher education in the west and one of the earliest in the entire US. In common with most programs, it began as a physical education teacher education program but in the last 50 years has diversified into preparing students for many careers including personal training, sport management, athletic training, adapted physical activity, cardiac rehabilitation, physical therapy, exercise physiology, coaching, and sport psychology. It is not a history of athletics but this does form a strand in the narrative, which is set in the context of the major social and political movements of the times.

Global Rights and Perceptions
Avantika Rohatgi
In Global Rights and Perceptions students read from a wide variety of original sources—foreign policy journals, non-fiction books, medical journals, and current affairs magazines on how human rights are currently being violated through practices such as human trafficking, female genital mutilation, organ trade, and female feticide. This varied exposure gives students several gateways through which to approach complex social issues, think and write about them with awareness and engagement. Based on the premise that students must be pulled away from a highly commercial, digitally perfect present, and encouraged to intelligently and passionately examine an imperfect world with a view to changing it, the book provides a well-rounded education on global rights, and the lack thereof, in our modern world.
