Reconsidering Canadian Curriculum Studies" invites us to ponder, to pay attention, and to ask more of the curriculum studies we conduct. It provokes readers to study their historical topographies and their future lines of movement, while stretching their understandings of contemporary circumstances either in Canada or abroad. The chapters cover the different geocultural and interdisciplinary territories of curriculum studies (life-writing methodologies, phenomenology, anti-racist education, gender, semiotic analysis, curriculum theorizing, cultural studies, indigenous studies, place, and others). Both established and junior scholars set forth a diverse and thought-provoking array of their lived experiences inside and outside the institutional contexts of public schooling, imagining how future Canadian curriculum scholars might advance knowledge within the broader international field of curriculum studies.

Based on over 200 interviews, this new book provides rich insights and practices on the toughest challenges facing offshore client/supplier relationships. While many client organizations found benefits to be gained from the offshoring of IT work, others struggled to realize any cost savings or other improvements. How can these mixed experiences be reconciled? The research reveals that offshore outsourcing can deliver on its promises, but only if both clients and suppliers diligently manage the details. In this book, the authors provide specific practices that managers can use, and detailed case studies which illustrate how these practices are embedded and enacted within client and supplier firms.

Comprised of chapters written by established Canadian curriculum scholars as well as junior scholars and graduate students, this collection of essays provoke readers to imagine the different ways in which educational researchers can engage the narrative inquiry within the broader field of curriculum studies.

This book considers offshore client/supplier relationships' biggest challenges, including the protection of intellectual property, and managing knowledge transfer and offshore outsourcing at project level. Based on over 150 interviews and case studies, this is an invaluable read for managers and researchers looking to learn from real experiences.

With more than 184 Christian writer's groups and 155 conferences, thousands of writers are looking for encouragement and insight. Yet, every Christian who writes faces the same issue: finding daily inspiration and creativity. Designed to be both encouraging and practical, Writers in the Spirit guides writers from the novice stage to becoming dedicated authors, something that Carol Rottman achieved when she put aside all other "paying work" to write full time.
