The year 2020 presented conflicts in higher education, including a
global pandemic, racial protests, cries for Black Lives Matter
following the deaths of Black women and men by police, education
moved online to virtual classrooms, and the U.S. economy struggling
as millions of Americans were furloughed or worked remotely and
ordered everything curbside; all of this compounded by an election
year. This book is a compilation of perspectives shared from
students enrolled in a graduate course on diversity and social
justice in higher education who found community in sharing their
personal and professional experiences associated with identity and
allyship development, socialization, activism, institutionalized
racism, academic traditions, advising, to implications for change
in higher education policies, processes, and practice.

The rationale for the present text, Hollywood or History? An
Inquiry-Based Strategy for Using Film to Teach About Inequality and
Inequity Throughout History stems from two main things. First and
foremost is the fact that the reviews of the first two volumes in
the Hollywood or History? series have been overwhelmingly positive,
especially as it pertains to the application of the strategy for
practitioners. Classroom utility and teacher practice have
continued to be the primary objectives in developing the Hollywood
or History? strategy. The second thing is that this most recent
volume in the series takes it in a new direction--rather than
focusing on eras in history, it focuses on the themes of inequity
and inequality throughout history, and how teachers can utilize the
Hollywood or History? strategy to tackle some of the more
complicated content throughout history that many teachers tend to
shy away from. There is a firm belief that students' connection to
film, along with teachers' ability to use film in an effective
manner, will help alleviate some of the challenges of teaching
challenging topics such as inequity and inequality in terms of
gender, race, socioeconomic status, and so much more. The book
provides 30 secondary lesson plans (grades 6-12) that address nine
different topics centered around inequity and inequality throughout
history, many of which connect students to the world we are living
in today. The intended audience for the book are teachers who teach
social studies at the 6th-12th grade level both in the United
States and other countries. An additional audience will be college
and university social studies/history methods professors in the
United States and worldwide.

Cold cases get hot in this unputdownable mystery from Jennifer Lynn
Barnes, no.1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games
series. Perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.
Three casinos. Three bodies. Three days.
After a string of brutal murders in Las Vegas, Cassie Hobbes and the
Naturals are called in to investigate. But even with the team's unique
profiling talents, these murders seem baffling: unlike many serial
killers, this one uses different methods every time. All of the victims
were killed in public, yet the killer does not show up on any security
feed. And each victim has a string of numbers tattooed on their wrist.
Hidden in the numbers is a code - and the closer the Naturals come to
unraveling the mystery, the more perilous the case becomes.
Meanwhile, Cassie is dealing with an equally dangerous and much more
painful mystery. For the first time in years, there's been a break in
her mother's case. As personal issues and tensions between the team
mount, Cassie and the Naturals will be faced with impossible odds - and
impossible choices.
Born smart. Born tough. Born FBI.

Slim Goodbody provides children with the fundamentals of money -
including intrinsic value, and how to save and spend wisely. It
might seem strange to consider finances as a part of health.
However money and the way people deal with it, affects almost every
aspect of life - from purchasing healthy foods to buying running
shoes. Further, not understanding how finances work can lead to
enormous mental stress which can adversely affect the health of the
body.
This book is about the anatomy of neoliberalism and education from
a Marxist perspective. It is the dialectical materialism of
neoliberal ideas, examining the material conditions of how these
ideas and practices emerged, and under what conditions. Each of
these elements is related to the other and can only be properly
understood as part and parcel of the whole system of capitalism,
which links them together. This book investigates neoliberalism's
political, cultural, and financial tools. It goes deep in the
forces who have supported neoliberalism and how it became ""common
sense"". It explores the imperialist outcomes and the social
devastation it created. It then goes to see how these ideas and
policies have been implemented in education. In short, it is the
materialist conception of the history of the American empire. It
then uses the analytic tools developed through this investigation
to re-read the neoliberal educational reforms.
