Members of The College of St. Scholastica's Dignitas Program produce this work in recognition of the intricacies of the guest/host relationship. Using popular and celebrated film, literature and other mass media, we develop a deeper understanding of interaction. We explore hospitality from human and non-human perspectives, through fiction and non-fiction, philosophy, theology, and psychology. What are the pleasures and dangers in the role of the stranger? What are the assumptions and liberties of the host? How do the guest and host roles relate to the designations of 'the self' and 'the other'? How do we know when we are the host or the guest? Is it possible to mistake or underestimate one's role? How might diversity, privilege, conflict, and assumption affect the guest/host relationship? Our work seeks a clearer picture of stewardship, intentional being, and the potential for conscious ambassadorship in a complex, multi-dimensional world.
Ghostly Prisons
They say that violent deaths beget vengeful spirits refusing to rest in peace. Anne Boleyn was beheaded with a single stroke of a sword at the Tower of London in 1536. After that vicious execution, some say she still roams the Tower grounds! Similar disturbing accounts of historical prisons around the world abound in this spine-tingling and highly motivating work. A world map, vivid photographs, and stimulating sidebars further encourage readers to understand more about the history, geography, and culture involved in each prisons unique story.
New Work in Metaverse
The metaverse (no matter in which definition and sometimes even without...) is one of the most hyped topics at the moment. It can be found in all kinds of media and channels and almost everybody feels called to give his personal statement about it. However, only a few of the discussants, futurologists or authors have actually been able to gather practical experience. From a certain level of abstraction, the metaverse is so wonderfully undefined that almost anyone can express their opinion on it without it being questioned on the basis of facts. But this is precisely where the problem lies. The metaverse is already far more concrete than it appears in the public perception. And it needs pract...
Handbook of Sustainability for the Food Sciences
Many books on sustainability have been written in the last decade, most of them dealing with agricultural systems, communities, and general business practices. In contrast, Handbook of Sustainability for the Food Sciences presents the concept of sustainability as it applies to the food supply chain from farm to fork but with a special emphasis on processing. Structured in four sections, Handbook of Sustainability for the Food Sciences first covers the basic concepts of environmental sustainability and provides a detailed account of all the impacts of the food supply chain. Part two introduces the management principles of sustainability and the tools required to evaluate the environmental imp...

@ChristInnen: Gehet in die sozialen Netze
Social Media heißt gegenwärtig die große Herausforderung auch für die kirchliche Online-Arbeit. Es gibt Pfarrerinnen und Pfarrer, die zwar Facebook nutzen, um ihre Konfirmandinnen und Konfirmanden online zu erreichen, aber aus Unbehagen selber ohne Profilfoto in Mark Zuckerbergs sozialem Netzwerk agieren. Auf der anderen Seite findet sich auch ein unreflektierter Enthusiasmus dem Internet gegenüber, so feierte man bereits in einer Kirchengemeinde ein Online-Abendmahl. Ist ein eigenes kirchliches Datenschutzrecht sinnvoll? Was bedeutet Open Content für das Urheberrecht? Verändern sich auch Organisationsstrukturen durch Social Media? Anders als im Rundfunk hat die Kirche im Internet kei...
