Disrupt This!
Questioning the cult of the new in higher education
Shadow Boxes
The poems and prose poems of award winning poet Karen Head. Many previously published in national journals, this is her first collection.
On Occasion: Four Poets, One Year
Four friends, colleagues and poets - Karen Head, Blake Leland, JC Reilly and Robert Wood - gave themselves an extraordinary yearlong assignment: write a poem each month based on a holiday or seasonal event. On Occasion: Four Poets, One Year is the thrilling results.
Mother Mary Comes to Me
The Virgin Mary long ago transcended her religious origins to become an instantly recognizable icon. From pop art to pop music, Mary's status as the Mother of God continues to inspire the faithful and the secular. A statue of Mary weeping blood or her appearance on a piece of toast still has the power to make front page news and bring the devoted running with candles and eBay bids. In Mother Mary Comes To Me, poets explore the intersection of the sacred and popular personifications of Mary that have evolved throughout the ages, and how she still holds sway in the 21st century as a figure to be praised and celebrated.
Disrupt This!
In this smart and incisive work, Karen J. Head describes her experience teaching a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) and the attendant pressure on professors, especially those in the humanities, to embrace new technologies in the STEM era. And yet, as she argues, MOOCs are just the latest example of the near-religious faith that some universities have in the promise of technological advances. As a teacher of rhetoric, Head is well versed at sniffing out the sophistry embedded in the tech jargon increasingly rife in the academy. Disrupt This! is a broader-based critique of the promises of technological "disruption" and the impact of Silicon Valley thinking on an unsuspecting, ill-prepared, and often gullible university community grasping for relevance, while remaining in thrall to the technologists.
Teaching as a Human Experience
The poems in this collection deal with the real life-worlds of professors, instructors, lecturers, teachers, and others working in education. This volume covers contemporary teaching experiences in education, including the many roles that teachers play such as instructing, lecturing, mentoring, facilitating, coaching, guiding, and leading. This volume covers the manifold life experiences and perspectives of being and working as a teacher in education and the epiphanies experienced in that role. This volume gives creative voice to the full range of experiences by teachers, students, and others, and empowers readers with inspiration and personal agency as they evolve as self-creating, self-determining authors of their own lives, both personally and professionally. The poems in this volume are largely based on teachers’ meaningful experiences in and out of the classroom, and will provide artistic inspiration and creative insight to others who currently work as teachers or those students who are preparing to be professors, instructors, and teachers or those students who simply enjoy the creative voice of others.
Lost on Purpose
Lost on Purpose is a universe of portals, a poetry collection that offers the rare invitation to be both observer and intimate, taking in the reverie of landscape and lover, travel and art. Head's poems open irresistible doors-reminding each of us to echo the affirmation, "where I'm from / will not dictate where I am going."
People Power
With her simple three-step formula, Karen J. Hewitt offers us her recipe for building employee engagement through health and safety, with significant gains for the business overall.
Multidisciplinary Approaches to Culminating Student Experiences
Despite the relatively recent popularity of culminating experiences, a multidisciplinary and practical resource that provides information for all types of culminating student experiences is not yet available. The idea for this volume arose because of the recognition that a holistic and applied resource for those looking to have general knowledge of different ways to assess student learning, especially at the undergraduate level was lacking. This text seeks to fill a gap and provide a historical context for culminating experiences, suggestions for assessment, foundational knowledge for different types of projects, and finally approaches to using these experiences in various disciplines. Because of the information desired, experts in their field from a wide variety of disciplines were approached to be chapter contributors. This resource focuses predominantly on undergraduate students but many of the chapters can either be applied to both undergraduate and graduate students (e.g., thesis) or specifically focus on the graduate student population (e.g., dissertation).
Death by Deceit
Death by Deceit by Karen J. Brohn Death by Deceit is about an investigative reporter who stumbles into the biggest story of her career. The story follows Kari Bronx as she discovers the case she was initially looking into was far more complicated than she anticipated. She stumbles upon a murder that occurs through deceitful ways of life and love affairs gone awry. There are twists and turns that leave the audience wondering who is guilty until the final chapter.
