Artistic Dynamos: An Ethnography on Music in Central African
Kingdoms uses stories and research from Ngiembɔɔn communities of
Central and West Cameroon as touchstones for proposing new
approaches to arts scholarship and community development. Building
on the results of ethnographic research, artistic action is viewed
through the lens of communication. This view brings a picture of
increased cultural energy in the enactment of artistic
genres—those with melodic, rhythmic, poetic, dramatic, visual,
and performative features. Schrag’s treatise will change how
scholars across disciplines understand and engage with the arts.
This volume offers methods for improved scholarship, resulting in
communities living better lives. The author’s website contains
the video and audio recordings discussed in the book, plus full
color versions of many photos and diagrams. www.ArtisticDynamos.com

Creating Local Arts Together is a manual designed to guide an
individual or group into a local community's efforts at integrating
its arts with the values and purposes of God's kingdom. The
practical, playful text reduces experience-based scholarly insights
gained from multiple decades of incarnational ministry around the
world into a flexible seven-step process. This manual is the second
book in a two-volume set on the principles and practices of
ethnodoxology. The first volume, entitled Worship and Mission for
the Global Church: An Ethnodoxology Handbook, presents in textbook
format the central "Foundations," "Stories," and "Tools" designed
to equip readers in exploring more fully this important new field
of research and ministry.
This book is an invitation to academic administrators, at every
level, to engage in reflection on the ethical dimensions of their
working lives. Academics are very good at reflecting on the ethical
issues in other professions but not so interested in reflecting on
those in their own, including those faced by faculty and
administrators. Yet it is a topic of great importance. Academic
institutions are value-driven; hence virtually every decision made
by an academic administrator has an ethical component with
implications for students, faculty, the institution, and the
broader community. Despite this, they receive little systematic
preparation for this aspect of their professional lives when they
take up administrative posts, especially when compared to, say,
medical or legal training. Surprisingly little has been written
about the ethical challenges that academic administrators are
likely to face. Most of the literature relating to academic
administration focuses on "leadership" and draws heavily on
management and social science theory. The importance of focusing on
ethical deliberation and decision-making often goes unrecognized.
