Download or read book Steal This University written by Benjamin Johnson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-12-16 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steal This University explores the paradox of academic labor. Universities do not exist to generate a profit from capital investment, yet contemporary universities are increasingly using corporations as their model for internal organization. While the media, politicians, business leaders and the general public all seem to share a remarkable consensus that higher education is indispensable to the future of nations and individuals alike, within academia bitter conflicts brew over the shape of tomorrow's universities. Contributors to the volume range from the star academic to the disgruntled adjunct and each bring a unique perspective to the discussion on the academy's over-reliance on adjuncts and teaching assistants, the debate over tenure and to the valiant efforts to organize unions and win rights.

Book excerpt: you put the weight of your world on my shoulders now i am too heavy to carry my own In loving and caring for others, sometimes we forget to love and care for ourselves too. As we navigate through life’s challenges and focus on others, we get further away from ourselves. The weight we bear threatens to crush us, to drive us further into the ground. And after heartbreak and loss, what’s left? Who is left? It’s in the grief that we feel isolated, disconnected from our true selves and powerless. But we’re not alone. to whom it may concern, sincerely, me is a poetry collection divided into three parts: depression, heartbreak, and self-love. These free verse poems illuminate the darkness of depression, expressing what is so often felt but left wordless, trapped inside of us. Poet Kyla Hawthorn explores the complexities of love by diving into her past relationships and heartbreaks with vulnerability and honesty. She unravels the inner turmoil between self-love and toxic love, between advocacy and complacency. These poems remind us that advocating for ourselves, living a life of authenticity, are important acts of self-love. More than poetry, to whom it may concern, sincerely, me is a collection of self-help affirmations that encourage us to take back our power. When we take back our power, we can shed the weight of toxic relationships and situationships in our lives. We can be our true selves.

Download or read book Blood Harvest written by Tessa Dawn and published by Ghost Pines Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beneath the dusky glow of a millennium moon, an ancient mystery is unfolding. Two very different vampires have each consumed a vial of blood containing the life force of two primordial princes, both presumed to be dead: “Drink this blood and welcome life; drink this blood and welcome death.” And the contents are stirring, quickening…awakening. Braden Bratianu was only five years old when he was sired into the Vampyr race. The only fledgling to be made—not born—he struggled with his new identity, his past human frailties, and how to forge a new place in an ancient, lethal society. Yet over time, he also displayed several uncanny abilities: divine intuition, precognition, and an inherent understanding of cryptic texts and archaic spells. His very soul seems to be linked to the heartbeat of the house of Jadon. Kristina Riley Silivasi came from a troubled home and a tragic past. Rescued from a Dark One by an Ancient Master Healer, then mistaken for an ancient vampire’s destiny, she was swiftly ushered into a terrifying universe, enduring everything from conversion to betrayal. Though she survived—even thrived—her wounds, her insecurities…and her deep-seated fears have never left her. When a beloved son of Jadon and a beleaguered daughter of chance are caught in a web of illusion, they must each summon bravery, learn to discern truth from a lie, and dare to risk love…or forfeit the future. The celestial gods cannot save them. They will live or die by the strength of their choices and reap what they sow…reward or ruin.

Download or read book Spiritual Bankruptcy written by John B. Cobb and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these times many people feel that their cherished religious values are held hostage by the forces of secularization and that, as a consequence, society is morally bankrupt. While acknowledging this problem, John Cobb overturns the prevailing expectations by drawing a distinction between secularization and secularism. Secularization, as Cobb uses the term, has a prophetic function. It is a process by which religion is cleansed and refocused on mission and ministry rather than on other-worldly myths and concerns. The uncritical understanding of religion that focuses on religion for its own sake is what Cobb calls secularism. In Cobb's view, secularization has led to secularism or a culture of consumerism that threatens those very religious convictions many hold dear. After teasing the concepts of secularization and secularism apart, Cobb proposes an alternate path for secularization that will help us reevaluate our relation to our world and each other.

Download or read book University Inc written by Jennifer Washburn and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our federal and state tax dollars are going to fund higher education. If corporations kick in a little more, should they be able to dictate the research or own the discoveries? During the past two decades, commercial forces have quietly transformed virtually every aspect of academic life. Corporate funding of universities is growing and the money comes with strings attached. In return for this funding, universities and professors are acting more and more like for-profit patent factories: university funds are shifting from the humanities and the less profitable science departments into research labs, and the skill of teaching is valued less and less. Slowly but surely, universities are abandoning their traditional role as disinterested sources of education, alternative perspectives, and wisdom. This growing influence of corporations over universities affects more than just today's college students (and their parents); it compromises the future of all those whose careers depend on a university education, and all those who will be employed, governed, or taught by the products of American universities.
