Understanding Authority in Higher Education
By Dean O. Smith
Understanding Authority in Higher Education
clarifies issues of authority in an academic setting.
Throughout, it introduces basic concepts of higher-
education administration and then examines the
limits of authority in context. Pedagogically, the
book strives continuously to ascertain whether
authority is used properly from a legal perspective,
emphasizing the influence of academic cultural
norms on legal principles and vice versa. But,
Understanding Authority in Higher Education
goes further than law textbooks by using real
and anecdotal case studies to examine aspects of
authority that don’t appear in court proceedings —
those that lie beyond the reach of the law. In these
cases, the book explores the anthropology — the
behavior and the culture — of authority in the
academic environment.

Preparing for the Classroom
WhatTeachersReallyThinkaboutTeacherEducation
By Kevin O. Mason
Preparing for the Classroom
explores and examines
current topics and issues in
teacher education through
the lens of eight practicing
teachers. Their voices add
a new perspective on the
effectiveness and practicality
of current trends and reforms
in teacher education. Their
insights may help to better
prepare the next generation of
teachers for success and longevity in the classroom.
In their own words, the teachers explain the
thoughts and reasoning behind the views expressed
throughout the book. Although teachers offer
both praises and critiques of teacher education,
the overall message is one of collaboration and
partnership.

Academic Leadership in Higher Education
FromtheTopDownandtheBottomUp
Edited by Robert Sternberg, Elizabeth Davis, April C. Mason, Robert V. Smith, Jeffrey S. Vitter and Michele
Wheatly
“Now what should I do?” This is a question academic leaders ask themselves with great regularity. As ironic
as it may seem, very few academic leaders have had any formal training in academic administration, or in
any kind of administration at all. For the most part, academic administrators learn on the job. They also seek
advice wherever they can get it. The purpose of this book is to offer such advice. The book is written both for
academic administrators at all levels as well as for those who aspire to academic administration.

Ethics in the Academy
By James F. Keenan, S.J.
From sex abuse scandals to the treatment of adjunct
professors, universities are mired in thorny ethical
questions. There are very few resources available
to address the question of what it means to be an
ethical university to address these challenges in
a systematic way. Professor Keenan exposes the
problems that arise from the lack of professional
ethics in the college environment, then proposes
concrete solutions for issues ranging from athletics
and adjuncts to tuition and salaries. Each chapter
highlights a different issue, offering both compelling
real-life examples of ethical problems, as well as
possible solutions.

Higher Education Assessments
LeadershipMatters
Edited by Gary L. Kramer and Randy L. Swing
“If anyone were to ask me who needs another book on assessment? I would answer, we
do! Presidents, provosts, and members of the senior leadership team whose task is not
how to do assessment but how assessment should be done with purpose. That purpose
is to align all that we do so that in the end we will fulfill the fundamental purposes of our
institutions. The book is a winner!” —Earl H. Potter, president, St. Cloud State University
“The book will serve as a tool for leaders to determine which areas of assessment matter
most at their institutions and how they can measure progress.”—Presidency

Leading from the Middle
ACase-StudyApproachtoAcademicLeadershipforAssociateand

By Tammy Stone and Mary Coussons-Read
“Leading from the Middle
fills a much needed gap in
the literature available to
administrators….The resources
that Tammy Stone and Mary
Coussons-Read provide in

the appointment package

to serve a dean in a support
role.” —Jeffrey L. Buller, dean
of the Harriet Wilkes Honor’s
College, Florida Atlantic
University
Pity the humble academic. Moving from a faculty
position to an administrative office frequently
entails gaining considerable responsibility-but
ambiguous power. The hope of these two authors
is that this volume will serve as a reference and a
source of support for current associate and assistant
deans and as a window into these jobs for faculty
who may be considering such a role.

Global Interest in Student Behavior
AnExaminationofInternationalBestPractices
By Charles J. Russo, Izak Oousthuizen and Charl C. Wolhuter
When countries face particular educational issues or challenges, educators in one nation could benefit
from the experience of their peers elsewhere who faced or are still facing similar concerns. The study of the
experience of educators in other countries can reveal the full extent and implications of the problem and
possible contributory causes while suggesting solutions for dealing with student misconduct. Against this
background this volume offers the experience of countries dealing with student misconduct in the hope
that it will open a wider perspective to academics, policy makers, and educators alike, eventually making a
contribution towards the successful dealing with student misconduct.

Racial Battle Fatigue in Higher Education
ExposingtheMythofPost-RacialAmerica
Edited by Kenneth Fasching-Varner, Katrice A. Albert,
Roland W. Mitchell and Chaunda Allen
Racial Battle Fatigue is described as the physical
and psychological toll taken due to constant
and unceasing discrimination, microagressions,
and stereotype threat. The literature notes that
individuals who work in environments with chronic
exposure to discrimination and microaggressions
are more likely to suffer from forms of generalized
anxiety manifested by both physical and emotional
syptoms. This edited volume looks at RBF from the
perspectives of graduate students, middle level
academics, and chief diversity officers at major
institutions of learning.

Feminisms and Educational Research
By Wendy R. Kohli and Nicholas C. Burbules
In Feminisms and Educational
Research, the authors
explore the various forms
of feminisms, tracing their
history and their relation to
gendered knowledge and
identity. Unlike other books
on feminism, the authors
do not attempt to push that
a particular theory is more
correct than another, but
rather they give a complete
overview of each of the forms of feminism.
The authors then couple the philosophical and
theoretical ideas of western feminisms with the aims
and conduct of educational research, exploring how
they interact and influence each other. Focusing on
more recent feminists, both in education and related
disciplines, the book highlights illustrative examples
from research to form a basis of understanding how
the different feminisms have changed education.

Words Matter
TeacherLanguageandStudentLearning
By Susan Mandel Glazer
“…a refreshingly honest look at how teachers’
(and parents’) less-than-sensitive comments
may discourage new learners’ motivation to read
and write. . . . Glazer’s theme is supported by
reconstructions of classroom interactions and
sometimes poignant recollections by past students
reflecting their disappointments in some teachers or
lauding their successes brought on by teachers who
believed in them.”
