Civility, Free Speech, and Academic Freedom in Higher Education:
Faculty on the Margins represents a multidisciplinary approach,
deploying different theoretical, methodological, sociological,
political, and creative perspectives to articulate the stakes of
civility for marginalized faculty within the landscape of higher
education. How has the discourse on civility and free speech within
academia become a systemic and oppressive form of silencing,
suppressing, or eradicating marginal voices? What are some overt
and covert ways in which institutions are using the logic of
civility to control faculty uprising against the increasingly
corporate-controlled landscape of higher education? This collection
of essays examines the continuum between the post-9/11 and the
post-Trump era backlashes. It details the organized retaliations
against those in academia whose views and scholarships articulate
their discontents against the U.S.-led "War on Terror." It contests
the rise of White supremacy, Trump's Muslim ban, anti-immigrant and
racist government policies and rhetoric, and those who support the
Boycott and Divestment Sanctions movements within the corporatized
universities. All of these new and original essays shed light and
further the debate on the various modes of civility that have
become politicized within the U.S. academy. It will have a broad
appeal to a cross section of national and international academics,
activist scholars, social justice educators and researchers in the
field of higher education.

This book is the road map to proficiency and development in the
field of qualitative research. Borrowing from a wealth of
experience teaching introductory qualitative research courses,
author Kakali Bhattacharya lays out a dynamic program for learning
different paradigms of inquiry, empowering students to recognize
the convergence of popular research methodologies as well as the
nuances and complexities that set each of them apart. Her book:
supplements the readings and activities in a qualitative methods
class, exposing students to the research process and the dominant
types of qualitative research; introduces a variety of theoretical
perspectives in qualitative research, including positivism and
postpositivism, interpretivism, feminism, symbolic interactionism,
phenomenology, hermeneutics, critical theory, and Critical Race
Theory; identifies and summarizes the three dominant methodological
approaches in qualitative research: narrative inquiry, grounded
theory, and ethnography; provides interactive activities and
exercises to help students crystallize their understanding of the
different topics in each chapter.

The infamous rise in characterizations of white women as Becky(s)
is a modern phenomenon, different from past characterizations like
the Miss Anne types. But just who embodies the Becky? Why is it
important to understand, especially with regards to anti-racism and
racial justice? Understanding that learning, moreover even
discussing, dynamics of race and gender are oftentimes met with
discomfort and emotional resistance, this creative, yet theoretical
book merges social science analyses with literary short stories as
a way to more effectively teach about the impact of whiteness and
gender. Additionally, the book includes guiding questions so that
readers can critically reflect on the behaviors of Becky(s) and how
they impact the hope for racial harmony. Designed specifically for
both educational spaces and the larger society, the author, an
educational researcher and former classroom teacher, approaches the
topic of race and gender, specifically whiteness and white women,
in a nuanced manner. By borrowing from traditions found in critical
race theory and teacher education, this book offers both
counterstories and anecdotes that can help people better understand
the dynamics behind race and gender.
Innovation in Technologies correlates fundamental research to
applications in technology. Various topics of current interest
which includes the study of the non-isochronicity using non-linear
dynamics nanocomposites of graphite-clay and nanoporous silicon,
properties of perovskites, vapour-liquid equilibrium for binary
chemical systems, sensing of Mg2 and Ca2 by ?-diketones through
inhibition of PET and the study of the water quality of fresh
bodies are addressed. Research papers on applications of
cryptography in dynamic security systems, design of optical comb
filters using polarizer and analyzer, application of birefringent
lens in optical imaging system, image processing have been
discussed highlighting technological applications along with
research papers on daylighting, novel material used in orthopaedics
and dentistry and improvement of the quality of Indian coal.
Nuclear research has taken a giant step after the discovery of
accelerators. Papers on current topics of nuclear research have
also been presented for the benefit of the readers. This is
therefore a modest attempt for the first time where we endeavoured
to inculcate deep impact of the research work of fundamental
science in technology.
