In Liberating the Classroom, Tessa Hicks Peterson shows how universities can transform into places that directly disrupt injustice and work toward personal and collective liberation. Instead of reproducing social inequity, higher education institutions could become engines of healing. This transformation, however, requires a major conscience shift at the level of the individual (student, educator, leader), the classroom (teaching and learning), administration (culture and policy), and the institution (structures and systems).

Here's why: “Nocturnal Admissions chronicles a great time to be alive. In the late ’90s and early 2000s, American nightlife got a second wind and in the thick of it was Steve Adelman with clubs in New York, Boston, and Los Angeles. Playing for Steve at the Avalon clubs in Boston and L.A. was always one of the highlights on a stateside tour for me, with sold-out nights and lines around the block. Steve’s clubs set the standard for the events that take place now.”—John Digweed, DJ and record producer

What do you do when life doesn't end up the way it's supposed to? American evangelical Christianity is a uniquely American Phenomenon. Ingrained in culture and politics, fundamentalism ascribes to strict theological and political dogmas in ways that seldom mirror our vast human experiences. That's when people of faith find themselves caught in the crosshairs of belief and real life. Rethinking Everything When Faith and Reality Don't Make Sense is a book for real people with real questions. An intellectual and emotional journey, readers discover the origins of their faith, and how we struggle to separate belief from reality in a world of fundamentalist absolutes. It addresses the feelings of anger, depression, and fear that often go with strict theological conformity we, or others, have placed on us. Rethinking Everything is a book about letting go, finding peace, and discovering your passion again.

And she and Dave went on to pursue their dream careers, raise two children, and travel the world...

The Secrets of Creating Successful Blue-Collar Managers In an age where we are breaking down barriers in the workplace, we still fail in some areas. One of those areas is preparing, developing, and supporting blue-collar managers. We hire or promote them primarily because they are good technicians. And we promote them because we like them. Without training and guidance, we are asking blue-collar managers to rewire their brains without showing them the blueprints. It’s like asking a novice electrician to rewire the Empire State Building without giving them the blueprints—it’s not going to end well.
