Pursuing Institutional Purpose
We are living in an era where global university schemes only offer narrow conceptions of quality, relying too heavily on international ranking systems. This timely book present an alternative perspective on evaluating 'world-class universities', showcasing how eight very different higher education institutions have defined and are pursuing excellence in their own way. Each case study highlights how institutions can align their work with shared values and goals, and strive to uphold these principles in all they do and say. The portraits offer insights into the ways institutions can create cultures of excellence tied to a vision of how to make a difference for their students and society. Their success suggest that policy makers should reward institutions that adopt and strive to fulfil particular educational purposes rather than continuing to perpetuate the status quo. It is essential reading for researchers and students of education research, education policy, and international education reform.
Implementing Educational Reform

Irish Theatre in the Twenty-First Century
Irish Theatre in the Twenty-First Century is the first in-depth study of the subject. It analyses the ways in which theatre in Ireland has developed since the 1990s when emerging playwrights Martin McDonagh, Conor McPherson, and Enda Walsh turned against the tradition of lyrical eloquence with a harsh and broken dramatic language. Companies such as Blue Raincoat, the Corn Exchange, and Pan Pan pioneered an avant-garde dramaturgy that no longer privileged the playwright. This led to new styles of production of classic Irish works, including the plays of Synge, mounted in their entirety by Druid. The changed environment led to a re-imagining of past Irish history in the work of Rough Magic and...
The Curlew's Cry
The story of three decades in the life of Pamela Lacey and a Montana town, The Curlew's Cry spans World War I, the Great Depression, and the influenza epidemic of 1917, as it renders "a quietly told, honestly plotted story filled with careful details and with good descriptions of various aspects of life in the West" (Harriette Arnow, Saturday Review).
Testimony in the Spirit
This book explores the ordinary beliefs and practices of Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians in relation to the Holy Spirit. It does this by means of a congregational study of a classical Pentecostal church in the UK, using participant observation, focus groups and documentary and media analysis. This approach develops a framework in which the narratives of informants can be interpreted. Focusing on specific areas of interest, such as worship, conversion, healing and witness, each contribution from respondents is situated within the context of the congregation and interpreted by means of the broader Christian tradition. This book makes a unique contribution to scholarship by offering a rich and varied picture of contemporary Christians in the Pentecostal and Charismatic traditions, enabling a greater understanding to be appreciated for both academic and ecclesial audiences.
All the Lives In Between
“This is a very accurate portrayal of Near-Death Experiences, prior-life memories in children, regressions into past life memories, and connections with souls on the other side, all in a fun story of a collective group of otherwise unrelated characters as they investigate and discover their shared pasts from a couple centuries before. This approach adds a wonderful, fascinating dimension to storytelling, all based upon well-researched aspects of consciousness.” -David LaMotte, who has led a study group on NDEs and Reincarnation for 20 years, teaches a course on NDEs and Consciousness Studies at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland. ~ On the Eastern Shore of Maryland in 1720, a man murders an enslaved 16 year old boy by piercing his heart with a knife. In the 1970’s this man returns as the heart surgeon who saves the life of that boy, now a man. We learn of the many connections between these two men, their families and all the lives in between.
