Pedagogies of Public Memory explores opportunities for writing and
rhetorical education at museums, archives, and memorials. Readers
will follow students working and writing at well-known sites of
international interest (e.g., the Flight 93 National Memorial in
Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum),
at local sites (e.g., vernacular memorials in and around Muncie,
Indiana and the Central Pennsylvania African American Museum in
Reading, Pennsylvania), and in digital spaces (e.g., Florida State
University's Postcard Archive and The Women's Archive Project at
the University of Nebraska Omaha). From composing and delivering
museum tours, to designing online memorials that challenge
traditional practices of public grief, to producing and publishing
a magazine containing the photographs and stories of individuals
who lived through historic moments in the Freedom Struggle, to
expanding and creating new public archives - the pedagogical
projects described in this volume create richly textured learning
opportunities for students at all levels - from first-year writers
to graduate students. The students and faculty whose work is
represented in this volume undertake to reposition the past in the
present and to imagine possible new futures for themselves and
their communities. By exploring the production of public memory,
this volume raises important new questions about the intersection
of rhetoric and remembrance.

Denial is everywhere, keeping us from seeing reality and causing
unhappiness and frustration. It can make things disappear in the
blink of an eye. It can also convince you that you are seeing what
you want to see even when it isn't there, leading you to believe in
nonsense along the way. People employ Denial because it makes their
life easier in the moment. It even makes it appear to be better,
the way you would like it to be, the way you wish it was, rather
than what it actually is. Denial reassures you, tells you not to
worry, it's not that bad, it could be worse. But the truth is, it
is a short-sighted solution, a quick fix, a temporary Band-Aid. Am
I Lying To Myself? helps readers squelch the tendency to let their
own and others' Denial rule their lives. This book takes readers
through a series of real-world scenarios in which people find
themselves mired in Denial. It will help you not only recognize
Denial's sneaky voice, but you will come away from each chapter
with a useful skill that will help you address the Denial in your
own life. After reading this book, it will become second nature to
talk back to Denial with clarity and strength. This book will teach
you how to do that. You will never lie to yourself again.
"Am I with the most selfish person alive?"
"Am I being selfish when I do the things I want to do?"
"If you loved me, you would..."
The battle of what "I want" versus what "you want" is intense.
Couples are in a constant tug of war, squabbling with each other
with no regard for their partner's feelings, with great guilt over
their own perceived selfishness, or feeling somewhere in between.
And it's costing us our relationships.
What About Me? will guide readers through the new terrain of
relationships in this era of entitlement, showing how selfishness
plays a role and helping you better understand what being selfish
really is. Learn to:
see beyond what you perceive as selfish requests-your partner's
and your own
conquer the selfish hot spots that flare up in your
relationship
understand all the differences, fears, and preferences that come
between couples
Through anecdotes and quizzes, and drawing from Dr. Jane Greer's
more than twenty years of experience in relationship counseling,
What About Me? will teach readers what's reasonable to expect of
themselves and their partners, equip them with the tools to move
from "me" to "we," and get them back on track to happily ever
after.
"Finally, a simply put yet deeply resonating guide to help us
eliminate toxic messages that feed into our relationships Keep What
About Me? next to your bedside and get what you need, immediately
"
-Emme, supermodel
"What About Me? unabashedly digs deeply into the origins of
conflict in relationships and paves the way for resolution,
healing, and happiness. This is a book that will serve all of us
well."
-David Perlmutter, MD, author of Power Up Your Brain: The
Neuroscience of Enlightenment
Across a range of industrial, domestic, and agricultural sites,
Greer shows how repetitive discursive performances served as
rhetorical tools as women workers sought to rescript power
relations in their workplaces and to resist narratives about their
laboring lives. The case studies reveal noteworthy patterns in how
these women’s words helped to construct the complex web of class
relations in which they were enmeshed. Rather than a teleological
narrative of economic empowerment over the course of a century,
Unorganized Women speaks to the enduring obstacles low- and no-wage
women face, their creativity and resilience in the face of
adversity, and the challenges that impede the creation of
meaningful coalitions. By focusing on repetitive rhetorical labor,
this book affords a point of entry for analyzing the discursive
productions of a range of women workers and for constructing a
richer history of women’s rhetoric in the United States.
An exploration of the fascinating and controversial history of
girls' education in America from the colonial era to the computer
age. Girls and Literacy in America offers a tour of opportunities,
obstacles, and achievements in girls' education from the limited
possibilities of colonial days to the wide-open potential of the
Internet generation. Six essays, written by historians and focused
on particular historical periods, examine the extensive range of
girls' literacies in both educational and extracurricular settings.
Girls from various ethnic and racial backgrounds, social classes,
religions, and geographic areas of the nation are included. A host
of primary documents, including such items as an 18th century
hornbook to excerpts from girls' "conversations" in Internet chat
rooms allow readers an opportunity to evaluate for themselves some
of the materials mentioned in the volume's opening essays. And
finally, an extensive bibliography will be invaluable to students
expected to conduct more extensive primary research. Contributors
are experts on literacy including E. Jennifer Monaghan (Brooklyn
College), Amy Goodburn (University of Nebraska-Lincoln), and Andrea
A. Lunsford (Stanford University) Primary documents printed in full
or excerpted include diaries, letters, school assignments,
newspaper advice columns, short stories, and poems, all targeted to
or written by girls A chronology of the reading and writing done by
girls is presented in six essays beginning in the colonial period
and ending in the 21st century An extensive bibliography includes
archival holdings, secondary scholarship, and online resources
At one time or another we have all been betrayed by someone we trusted, all felt the sting of deceit and subsequent shattering of self-confidence. And when the people we count on betray our trust, the wound is deep and long-lasting.
In How Could You Do This to Me?, Dr. Jane Greer teaches readers:the types of people who are more at risk of betrayal the warning signs of someone who is untrustworthy a process that helps decide whether a relationship is worth saving or whether it should be abandoned.Part One discusses the roots of trust, blind trust, and the reasons betrayers betray. Part Two reveals our betrayers' many faces: admirers, users, or rivals. Part Three focuses on the fallout from betrayal: confrontation, revenge, and betrayal, and talks about how you can learn to trust your judgment and others again.
