From Martyrs to Murderers
In From Martyrs to Murderers, the author explores the connections between the dark, unflattering representations of public schools, teachers and teaching in popular Hollywood films and the conservative attacks on public education that have culminated in a generation of neo-liberal standards reform measures. The author’s analysis is based on a survey of 60 movies that feature significant interactions between public school teachers and their students. This study employed a textual analysis method involving viewing the films alongside original script material, which reveals that the narratives involving public schools during the late 20th century and early 21st century are distinct from those...
Problematizing Service-Learning
Interest in and research on civic engagement and service-learning have increased exponentially. In this rapid growth, efforts have been made to institutionalize pedagogies of engagement across both K-12 and higher education. As a result, increased positive attention has been complemented equally by well-founded critiques complicating experiential approaches’ claims and questioning if institutional, financial, and philosophical commitment is warranted.

Initial efforts to legitimize service-learning and other forms of com...

"Those Damn Horse Soldiers"
The historian and author of Whip the Rebellion shares “an excellent popular history of Civil War cavalry” from the outbreak of war to its bitter end (Booklist). Many accounts of the Civil War battles, armies, and key figures have been written over the years, but none have looked at the bloodiest war in our nation’s history through the eyes of the cavalry. The horse soldiers in the Civil War are often referred to as the last of the cavaliers, men who valued their honor as much as their cause. In this sweeping history, George Walsh brings to life anew the gallant horse soldiers of the North and South, showing in dramatic detail how their raids and expeditions affected the outcome of the war and how their fortunes waxed and waned. Walsh offers vivid portraits of cavalrymen such as Fitzhugh Lee, son of Confederate commanding general Robert E. Lee; the “Gray Ghost” John Singleton Mosby; the young and fiery George Armstrong Custer; and many others.
