  • Mathematics Teacher Educators' Intimate Scholarship: Being, Knowing, and Ethics by Elizabeth Suazo-Flores (Editor), Signe E. Kastberg (Editor), Melva R. Grant (Editor), and Olive Chapman (Editor)

    Mathematics Teacher Educators' Intimate Scholarship: Being, Knowing, and Ethics

    2025

    Elizabeth Suazo-Flores (Editor), Signe E. Kastberg (Editor), Melva R. Grant (Editor), and Olive Chapman (Editor)

    Mathematics teacher educators’ (MTEs) intimate scholarship is growing in interest and is diversifying research methodologies and products in the mathematics teacher education field. Becoming an MTE involves identifying self as belonging to mathematics teacher education. Although insights about belonging in mathematics teacher education have focused on teachers, becoming an MTE involves learning and growing in the teaching of mathematics teaching.

    This volume brings together the work of a range of US-based scholars at various career stages, working in mathematics teacher education using self-based methodologies such as narrative, autobiography and autoethnography, to explore knowing and doing in relation to the process of becoming mathematics teacher educators (MTEs). The chapters in the book reflect the value of intimate scholarship and its focus on practice and a variety of associated methods are utilized to capture aspects of MTE work and a conceptualization of knowing in the context of practice.

  • The Experiences of Disabled People in Physical Education by Wesley J. Wilson (Editor) and Justin A. Haegele (Editor)

    The Experiences of Disabled People in Physical Education

    2025

    Wesley J. Wilson (Editor) and Justin A. Haegele (Editor)

    Bringing together a set of first- person accounts of physical education from the perspectives of disabled children and adults, this book puts disabled people’s voices in the foreground.

    The book provides a rich set of case study material that deepens our understanding of the experiences of disabled people and challenges students, researchers, and practitioners to reflect critically upon their own positionality. The first part of the book discusses the ways in which disability has been conceptualized, how the voices of disabled people have sometimes been marginalized, and how nondisability power has historically framed the narratives of disabled people in physical education literature. It also discusses the innovative methods used in this book— such as storytelling through recorded conversations and drawings in addition to more traditional chapter writing— to empower disabled children and adults to act as authors of their own stories. Then the book presents the stories themselves in a variety of written, narrative, and alternative formats, a series of authentic accounts of the lived experiences of disabled people in physical education. Finally, the book concludes with the editors’ final thoughts and reflections about this collection of stories that can be used in the classroom to foster dialogue and encourage critical thinking. Importantly, these prompts have been co- constructed between the editors and the disabled people themselves.

    This book is essential reading for any course in adapted physical education, physical education, or disability, for any pre- or in- service teacher, instructor, or coach working with disabled people, and for people who experience disability or their families with an interest in education, physical activity, or methods for elevating the voices of disabled people.

  • Impact/Impasse: Revaluing University Classroom Life by Laura A. Smithers, Heidi Fischer, and Faith A. Watrous

    Impact/Impasse: Revaluing University Classroom Life

    2024

    Laura A. Smithers, Heidi Fischer, and Faith A. Watrous

    Impact/Impasse argues for the value of everyday life in college classrooms. Quantifiable categories such as high-impact practice, student engagement, and integrative learning have captured the imagination of a generation of higher education researchers, practitioners, administrators, and policymakers. But they miss those mundane moments, or "impasses," that resist capture by metrics while nevertheless shaping student outcomes. Impact/Impasse blends critical theories and ethnographic research—conducted before and during the COVID-19 pandemic—to argue that learning happens in ordinary moments. Indeed, in sharing anecdotes from both in-person and virtual classrooms, the coauthors show how the so-called new normal is little different from the old in its neoliberal attachment to data. Impact/Impasse provides a conceptual and practical foundation for an alternative approach to valuing impacts on their own terms, in excess of quantification. [From the publisher]

  • Pathways Into Teacher Education by Brandon Butler (Editor), Alexander Cuenca (Editor), and Jason K. Ritter (Editor)

    Pathways Into Teacher Education

    2023

    Brandon Butler (Editor), Alexander Cuenca (Editor), and Jason K. Ritter (Editor)

    Teacher educator learning has received increasing attention in recent decades. Although the professional development needs of teacher educators has become more visible, the spaces where teacher educators learn to teach teachers is less clear. How do teacher educators learn? What do they learn? And where does this learning take place? This edited volume provides answers these questions through an unpacking of the programs, courses, and professional learning spaces in which beginning teacher educators learn. In this edited volume, chapters provide profiles, or “cases,” of the spaces in which beginning university-based teacher educators are prepared. University based teacher educator learning occurs in a range of settings. As highlighted in this volume, such learning spaces include doctoral program concentrations or minors focused on the development of teacher educator identity and practice; individual doctoral courses dedicated to teacher education; formalized program experiences that assist in the preparation of teacher educators; and mentoring or critical friendship collaborations through which doctoral students learn about teacher education with peers or from experienced teacher educators.

  • Counseling Theory and Practice (Third Edition) by Edward S. Neukrug and Danika G. Hays

    Counseling Theory and Practice (Third Edition)

    2023

    Edward S. Neukrug and Danika G. Hays

    Developed for helping professionals, the third edition of Counseling Theory and Practice explains what it means to be an effective helper, discusses foundations of classic counseling and psychotherapy theories, and provides an overview of emerging theories. Chapter 1 examines the efficacy of counseling and therapy, ethical concerns of counseling practice and provides students the opportunity to examine their view of human nature and how it aligns with the theories in the text. The rest of the book examines classic and emerging theories.

    Section 1 explores psychodynamic approaches, including psychoanalysis, Jungian therapy, and Adlerian therapy. Section 2 is devoted to existential-humanistic approaches such as existential therapy, Gestalt therapy, and person-centered counseling, while Section 3 discusses cognitive-behavioral approaches, including cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), rational-emotive behavior therapy (REBT), and reality therapy (RT). Section 4 describes post-modern therapies including narrative therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, and relational cultural therapy, a form of feminist therapy.

  • Racial Dimensions of Life Writing in Education by Lucy E. Bailey (Editor) and KaaVonia Hinton (Editor)

    Racial Dimensions of Life Writing in Education

    2022

    Lucy E. Bailey (Editor) and KaaVonia Hinton (Editor)

    This collection presents life writing projects that explore or represent the racial dimensions of life writing research in diverse educational spaces using diverse methodologies and inquiry approaches. We believe this collection is long overdue. To quote Melva R. Grant and Signe E. Kastberg’s succinct phrasing (this volume) “racialized inquiry matters.” While some rich texts explore the racial aspects and anti-racist potential of social science research (Blee, 2018; Lopez & Parker, 2003; Sefa Dei & Johal, 2005; Twine & Warren, 2000), and include examples from educational contexts, there are no collections which focus on the intersections of life writing inquiry as educative projects that highlight racial dimensions of the work and lives under study. Drawing from Toni Morrison’s enduring wisdom, a visionary writer whose work has explored the racial dimensions of culture and lived experience, we centralize race in life writing in this collection rather than obscuring it or leaving it as a lurking, absent presence in the craft. Racial Dimensions of Life Writing Research offers a wealth of ideas and perspectives from which scholars, teachers, and students can draw to support their work. The 14 chapters in this collection attend to national, international, and local concerns, include varied theoretical and methodological approaches, and reflect a range of ethnic and racial heritages. Chapters consider practical, theoretical, ethical, and educational issues involved in projects concerning under-represented educational actors important for the terrain of life writing. The authors include established and emerging scholars— university researchers, directors, and professors, academic advisors, graduate and undergraduate students, activists, and former elementary and secondary school teachers. It is our hope that this volume will spark conversation, debate, and reflection and will be a valuable resource that inspires scholarship about how race and its intersections shape the life-writing inquiry process.

  • Understanding Narcissists: How to Cope with Destructive People in Your Life by Nina W. Brown

    Understanding Narcissists: How to Cope with Destructive People in Your Life

    2022

    Nina W. Brown

    This book will guide readers to understand the various indices of observable and destructive narcissistic behaviors and attitudes that are exhibited in everyday interactions with self-inflated people, focusing on the larger societal impacts of those behaviors. Further, the text makes suggestions for effectively managing the negative impact of the Destructive Narcissistic Pattern (DNP), which includes such attributes as anger and shame, and instructs readers how to grow and develop Healthy Adult Narcissism (HAN) consisting of empathy, wisdom, humor, and zest.

    This book differs from others on the same topic by illustrating the various ways that excessive self-esteem is portrayed in the media as well as presenting the perspective that there are many different ways to exhibit the varied self-inflated, self-centered behaviors and attitudes in everyday adult behaviors and relationships. By the end, this text aims to encourage healthy valuations of self and others that create a sense of purpose; personal satisfaction; and enduring, meaningful relationships. [Amazon.com]


  • Learning through Collaboration in Self-Study: Critical Friendship, Collaborative Self-Study, and Self-Study Communities of Practice by Brandon Butler (Editor) and Shawn Michael Bullock (Editor)

    Learning through Collaboration in Self-Study: Critical Friendship, Collaborative Self-Study, and Self-Study Communities of Practice

    2022

    Brandon Butler (Editor) and Shawn Michael Bullock (Editor)

    Self-study is inherently collaborative. Such collaboration provides transparency, validity, rigor and trustworthiness in conducting self-study. However, the ways in which these collaborations are enacted have not been sufficiently addressed in the self-study literature. This book addresses these gaps in the literature by placing critical friendship, collaborative self-study and community of practice at the forefront of the self-study of teaching. It highlights these forms of collaboration, how the collaboration was developed and enacted, the challenges and tensions that existed in the collaboration, and how practice and identity developed through the use of these forms of collaboration. The chapters serve as exemplars of enacting these forms of collaboration and provide researchers with an additional base of literature to draw upon in their scholarly writing, teaching of self-study, and their enactment of collaborative self-study spaces.

  • Facilitating LGBTQIA+ Allyship through Multimodal Writing in the Elementary Classroom: Preparing Teachers to Challenge Heteronormativity by Judith M. Dunkerly, Julia Poplin, and Valerie Taylor

    Facilitating LGBTQIA+ Allyship through Multimodal Writing in the Elementary Classroom: Preparing Teachers to Challenge Heteronormativity

    2022

    Judith M. Dunkerly, Julia Poplin, and Valerie Taylor

    This book reports findings of a qualitative study intended to disrupt notions of heteronormativity amongst preservice elementary teachers by engaging them in multimodal writing and text production around issues facing LGBTQIA+ youth.

    Against the backdrop of increasing anti-transgender sentiment in the United States, the text highlights the necessity of integrating queered pedagogy in teacher education to facilitate candidates’ movement through the continuum and leave them prepared, equipped, and willing to support children identifying as LGBTQIA+. Through analysis of picture books, infographics, and multimodal texts produced by teacher candidates, this cutting-edge volume develops a continuum of engagement, from apathy through to active allyship, with LGBTQIA+ youth.

    This timely volume will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in gender and sexuality studies, primary and elementary education, as well as teacher education more specifically. Those involved with queer theory and the sociology of education will also benefit from this volume.
