| why is burke research calling me: You Are Your Best Thing Tarana Burke, Brené Brown, 2022-01-25 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Tarana Burke and Dr. Brené Brown bring together a dynamic group of Black writers, organizers, artists, academics, and cultural figures to discuss the topics the two have dedicated their lives to understanding and teaching: vulnerability and shame resilience. Contributions by Kiese Laymon, Imani Perry, Laverne Cox, Jason Reynolds, Austin Channing Brown, and more NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY MARIE CLAIRE AND BOOKRIOT It started as a text between two friends. Tarana Burke, founder of the ‘me too.’ Movement, texted researcher and writer Brené Brown to see if she was free to jump on a call. Brené assumed that Tarana wanted to talk about wallpaper. They had been trading home decorating inspiration boards in their last text conversation so Brené started scrolling to find her latest Pinterest pictures when the phone rang. But it was immediately clear to Brené that the conversation wasn’t going to be about wallpaper. Tarana’s hello was serious and she hesitated for a bit before saying, “Brené, you know your work affected me so deeply, but as a Black woman, I’ve sometimes had to feel like I have to contort myself to fit into some of your words. The core of it rings so true for me, but the application has been harder.” Brené replied, “I’m so glad we’re talking about this. It makes sense to me. Especially in terms of vulnerability. How do you take the armor off in a country where you’re not physically or emotionally safe?” Long pause. “That’s why I’m calling,” said Tarana. “What do you think about working together on a book about the Black experience with vulnerability and shame resilience?” There was no hesitation. Burke and Brown are the perfect pair to usher in this stark, potent collection of essays on Black shame and healing. Along with the anthology contributors, they create a space to recognize and process the trauma of white supremacy, a space to be vulnerable and affirm the fullness of Black love and Black life. |

| why is burke research calling me: Misogyny across Global Media Maria B. Marron, 2021-03-01 Misogyny across Global Media argues that, although women’s experiences under misogyny are by no means universal, patriarchal social and institutional systems facilitate gender-based hostility across the globe. Contributors demonstrate how systemic misogyny and power inequities are at the root of women’s suffering at the hands of misogyny, with consequences ranging from sexual harassment to rape and even murder. This book provides an interdisciplinary overview of systemic misogyny worldwide, analyzing specific cases such as the controversial Child Marriage Act in Bangladesh, sexual harassment in India’s Bollywood culture, rape culture among military forces in Jammu and Kashmir, the murder of female students in Kenya, and femicide in Turkey. This collection discusses how misogyny creates a clash of cultures between men and women, the powerful and the oppressed, and the conservative and the liberal, and uncovers the evils that are perpetrated against women worldwide as a result of systemic misogyny. Scholars of gender studies, media studies, and cultural studies will find this book particularly useful. |

| why is burke research calling me: Saving Global Fisheries J. Samuel Barkin, Elizabeth R. Desombre, 2013-01-18 A proposal for a new global approach for fisheries focused on reducing fishing capacity and providing incentives for long-term sustainability. The Earth's oceans are overfished, despite more than fifty years of cooperation among the world's fishing nations. There are too many boats chasing too few fish. In Saving Global Fisheries, J. Samuel Barkin and Elizabeth DeSombre analyze the problem of overfishing and offer a provocative proposal for a global regulatory and policy approach. Existing patterns of international fisheries management try to limit the number of fish that can be caught while governments simultaneously subsidize increased fishing capacity, focusing on fisheries as an industry to be developed rather than on fish as a resource to be conserved. Regionally based international management means that protection in one area simply shifts fishing efforts to other species or regions. Barkin and DeSombre argue that global rather than regional regulation is necessary for successful fisheries management and emphasize the need to reduce subsidies. They propose an international system of individual transferable quotas that would give holders of permits an interest in the long-term health of fish stocks and help create a sustainable level of fishing capacity globally. |

Haunted by the murder of his sister, Lieutenant Jake Carrington struggles to control his personal demons as he stands over the brutalized body of a young woman found dead on the railroad tracks. The victim disappeared on July 6th, the fifth woman in as many years to go missing on that date. The fifth happy bride-to-be. The only one whose body has turned up. Soon the killer is sending personal messages to Jake. They refer to an unidentified brother he believes Jake hates as much as he does. With his partner distracted by turmoil at home, Jake is on his own. Drawn deeper and deeper into a murderous family feud, his mission is to find out who the killer’s brother is—and stop him before another innocent woman’s life is cut tragically short. “Tense and authentic—a suspenseful page-turner!” —Leo J.

| why is burke research calling me: The Story of the Philadelphia Eleven Darlene O'Dell, 2024-06-11 Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the ordinations of “The Philadelphia Eleven,” this expanded and revised edition serves as the definitive account of the courageous women who shattered stained glass ceilings and sparked a global movement to revolutionize faith and society. Nearly fifty years after eleven audacious women made history as the first female priests ordained in the Episcopal Church, Darlene O'Dell revisits their inspiring journey in a revised and expanded edition of her acclaimed The Story of the Philadelphia Eleven. Through extensive interviews and tireless archival research, this definitive account was the first to vividly resurrect the pivotal moment that tore down barriers and changed the Episcopal Church forever. Both critics and scholars hailed the book, calling it “a needed history and a brilliantly told tale” (Mary E.Hunt) and “enthralling reading…O'Dell certainly has the novelist's gift of making her story come alive and in maintaining her readers' interest” (Bernard Palmer). Now fresh interviews unveil dozens of never-before-told perspectives, while updated chapters lend contemporary relevance to a history we can't afford to forget. Additionally, the author has included exclusive conversations with one of the “Washington Four,” a chapter on the impactful Barbara Harris, and insights into the wider Anglican church's role in what is now universally considered a landmark event. This edition doesn't just look back; it casts a critical eye on what's changed and what hasn't, questioning the patriarchy that persists in faith institutions and how these ordinations echo in today's political culture. Both an intimate character study and a sweeping examination, The Story of the Philadelphia Eleven is a renewed call to understand our past in order to better navigate our collective future. |

Hayley Burke has landed a dream job: she is the new curator of Lady Georgiana Fowling's First Edition library. The library is kept at Middlebank House, a lovely Georgian home in Bath, England. Hayley lives on the premises and works with the finicky Glynis Woolgar, Lady Fowling's former secretary. Mrs. Woolgar does not like Hayley's ideas to modernize the First Edition Society and bring in fresh blood. And she is not even aware of the fact that Hayley does not know the first thing about the Golden Age of Mysteries. Hayley is faking it till she makes it, and one of her plans to breathe new life into the Society is actually taking flight--an Agatha Christie fan fiction writers group is paying dues to meet up at Middlebank House. But when one of the group is found dead in the venerable stacks of the library, Hayley has to catch the killer to save the Society and her new job. |

| why is burke research calling me: Moving Bodies Debra Hawhee, 2022-03-23 A sophisticated study of how bodies and language move and are moved by each other Kenneth Burke may be best known for his theories of dramatism and of language as symbolic action, but few know him as one of the twentieth century's foremost theorists of the relationship between language and bodies. In Moving Bodies, Debra Hawhee focuses on Burke's studies from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s while illustrating that his interest in reading the body as a central force of communication began early in his career. By exploring Burke's extensive writings on the subject alongside revealing considerations of his life and his scholarship, Hawhee maps his recurring invocation of a variety of disciplinary perspectives in order to theorize bodies and communication, working across and even beyond the arts, humanities, and sciences. Burke's sustained analysis of the body drew on approaches representing a range of specialties and interests, including music, mysticism, endocrinology, evolution, speech-gesture theory, and speech-act theory, as well as his personal experiences with pain and illness. Hawhee shows that Burke's goal was to advance understanding of the body's relationship to identity, to the creation of meaning, and to the circulation of language. Her study brings to the fore one of Burke's most important and understudied contributions to language theory, and she establishes Burke as a pioneer in a field where investigations into affect, movement, and sense perception broaden understanding of physical ways of knowing. |

Author Joshua E. S. Phillips tells a story of ordinary soldiers, ill trained for the responsibilities foisted upon them, who descended into a cycle of degradation that led to the abuse of detainees. The book illustrates that the damaging legacy of torture is borne not only by the detainees, but also by American soldiers and the country to which they have returned. |

| why is burke research calling me: Abled Andrew Akerman MD, 2024-08-14 Have you ever undergone a life-altering experience—the kind that most people would shudder to think of? These events occur daily, and as much empathy you may carry for others, your primary wish is likely that it will never happen to you. But such experiences shape our personalities and characters. The tragic event is not nearly as important as how we react to it and eventually learn to deal with and ultimately conquer it. Abled tells the story of an ordinary boy living a relatively ordinary life until one such tragic day, when his life was changed forever. This personal narrative follows his path from his youth as a normal boy to the man he develops into. He was far from perfect and yet filled with extreme positive energy and drive; he not only learned to overcome his limitations but far surpassed anyone’s expectations. The journey was beyond tough, and at times it seemed impossible. But despite the obstacles he faced, he dealt with his struggles and overcame them, using them to form the future he wanted. In this autobiography, one man shares the way an event in his youth changed his life forever, shaping the person he became, building his character, and developing his moral outlook. |

| why is burke research calling me: Unfinished Business Paula Egelson, C. Steven Bingham, Barbara B. Howard, 2024-09-01 Unfinished Business: A Regional Education Laboratory Retrospective on School Improvement is authored by education professionals formerly employed at SERVE, one of the ten US federally funded education research and development laboratories. SERVE’S region included the following southeastern states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The school improvement recollections found in this book are supported by contemporaneous data collected for research and evaluation as well as literature, interviews and evidence from former clients and collaborators. Each of the chapter authors wrote about a school improvement initiative in which they led or participated in developing. Compared to the other nine labs, SERVE was heavily field based. SERVE’s projects and publications focused on school improvement, research, policy, and professional development. The work was typically launched in a spirit best described as emergent design. Building on extant research and best practice, potential clients across the six-state region were approached with ideas for educational interventions and evidence to support theories of action. It is underscored that improving America’s public schools, teachers and school administrators is a continuous process involving difficult work. It is hoped that this book will offer suggestions to educators about how to implement school improvement, including what works and what doesn’t, and how initiatives can evolve positively over time. ENDORSEMENTS: This retrospective on the work done by the SERVE lab serves to underscore the important role education laboratories can play in helping schools improve the systems and processes supporting more equitable learning opportunities and higher student achievement. As the authors indicate, the work of school improvement is never finished, hence it follows that continually trying out well-grounded interventions and examining their impacts on leadership, teaching, and learning is essential to moving improvement science forward. — Betty Fry, Southern Regional Education Board School improvement work needs to be an “all hands-on deck” effort that engages teachers, administrators, students, parents and guardians, and stakeholders in meaningful co-ownership of helping schools be successful for all students. Unfinished Business seeks to examine the work of educational leaders and organizations who have been immersed in extended efforts to both understand and meet the various challenges of educating students. By including voices with rich experiences and perspectives, and highlighting steps taken to realize successes, this book provides insights and “lessons learned” to reflect upon in considering next steps. — Bill Sterrett, Baylor University What an outstanding book based on thoughtful reflections of practitioners working on improving schools! If readers want to get an understanding of federally supported research and development laboratories, this is an excellent book on lessons learned. Unfinished Business offers important technical concepts-in-practice such as stakeholder involvement, emergent designs, interventions, implementation, sustainability, and organizational culture (to cite a few), but also insightful lessons on results-oriented distributed leadership. A must-read for leaders across the board—local, state, and federal educational agencies! — Marco Muñoz, Jefferson County Schools, KY |
| why is burke research calling me: Campus Counterspaces Micere Keels, 2020-01-15 Frustrated with the flood of news articles and opinion pieces that were skeptical of minority students' imagined campus microaggressions, Micere Keels, a professor of comparative human development, set out to provide a detailed account of how racial-ethnic identity structures Black and Latinx students' college transition experiences. Tracking a cohort of more than five hundred Black and Latinx students since they enrolled at five historically white colleges and universities in the fall of 2013 Campus Counterspaces finds that these students were not asking to be protected from new ideas. Instead, they relished exposure to new ideas, wanted to be intellectually challenged, and wanted to grow. However, Keels argues, they were asking for access to counterspaces—safe spaces that enable radical growth. They wanted counterspaces where they could go beyond basic conversations about whether racism and discrimination still exist. They wanted time in counterspaces with likeminded others where they could simultaneously validate and challenge stereotypical representations of their marginalized identities and develop new counter narratives of those identities. In this critique of how universities have responded to the challenges these students face, Keels offers a way forward that goes beyond making diversity statements to taking diversity actions. |
