The Unhappy Wife
Twelve women share one thing in common - the quest for being happily married to the men they chose; however, each one finds herself in an unexpected marital predicament. Inspired by real events and told from each woman's perspective, these short stories are firsthand accounts detailing the realities of marriage well after each woman said, "I do." Four women represent The Voiceless Wife. Although circumstances vary, these women give their power away to friends and family. The result is a loss of intuition and self. The Detached Wife symbolizes five different ways wives can be disconnected from their husbands and themselves. Sex, intimacy and self-discovery are central to understanding these women's narratives. The Committed Wife includes three women who demonstrate the depths of devotion. These final stories show that wives sometimes need more than loyalty to be happy.

Kevin Costner, America's Teacher
Kevin Costner: America's Teacher examines the role of Costner in educational settings domestically and abroad. Costner’s career over the past 35 years has seen ups and downs: his movies grossed 2 billion dollars in ticket sales worldwide and he has he won/been nominated for several Academy Awards but he also experienced critical and box office failures. Through the films in his oeuvre, Costner has been teaching audiences around the world about the United States--its history, people and culture. Some viewers and scholars recognize this as positive, others as problematic. This book serves as a place for teachers and scholars to explore ways in which Costner may be tapped for research and teaching purposes at all levels of education. It is organized around three large themes: Costner’s baseball films and their connection to Americana; Costner’s films through the more critical lenses of gender and new western scholarship; and Costner’s teaching of teachers, the pedagogical possibilities of his work.

Post Qualitative Inquiry in Academia
Offering speculation upon the creation of future educational possibilities for all, this book stories both an initial event leading to a sixteen-year-old student’s withdrawal from a Further Education college on her first day, and an imaginary second chance to support her at university ten years later. Animating potential for intensities and becoming in writing, this work exemplifies different approaches to writing, which foster inquiry and speculation to trouble academic constraints capable of acting as a barrier to so many. Writing in counterpoint to the traditional map of the academic thesis, literature, (non)methodologies and ethics are imbricated in this book, which readers are invited to read in non-linear ways, choosing from multiple entryways and exits. This book will be of particular interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students, and doctoral supervisors, in Education, as well as practitioners involved in supporting students’ writing. Perhaps, most crucially, the book will provoke entry into, provocations within and research-creative inventions that extend the continuing emergence of post qualitative inquiry.
