Higher Education Implications for Teaching and Learning during
COVID-19 provides different perspectives regarding the impact of
COVID-19 on college teaching and learning and on students, both
collectively and individually. Contributors argue that the pandemic
forced a higher education reckoning as institutions around the
world were forced to shut their physical doors and open up their
online platforms in a wider capacity. While these concerns are
linked to a certain point in time, there is much we can learn from
collective institutional responses to the pandemic-induced pivots
to virtual teaching and learning. Scholars of higher education,
organizational communication, and crisis communication will find
this book particularly useful.

The Political Mel Brooks analyzes both Mel Brooks's more popular
films and his lesser known work to explore how his use of parody
and satire, his keen sense of the history of Jewish comedic
conventions, and his deep awareness of social issues encompasses a
political project that, while often implicit, nonetheless speaks to
the enduring political and social impact of his films. Brooks's
work often employs a nuanced political style that acts as a social
commentary against those in power and in favor of oppressed and
misunderstood persons. This volume emphasizes Brooks's political
legacy and his masterful use of parody and satire to craft
sophisticated political critiques of dominant culture. Contributors
illustrate in a practical and accessible way how to explore how
comedic films and television series can employ parody and satire
not just to mock generic conventions, but also dominant political
ideologies. Scholars of media, film, pop culture, political
science, and communication studies will find this volume especially
useful.
The Political Language of Food addresses why the language used in
the production, marketing, selling, and consumption of food is
inherently political. Food language is rarely neutral and is often
strategically vague, which tends to serve the interests of powerful
entities.Boerboom and his contributors critique the language of
food-based messages and examine how such language-including idioms,
tropes, euphemisms, invented terms, etc.-serves to both mislead and
obscure relationships between food and the resulting community,
health, labor, and environmental impacts. Employing diverse
methodologies, the contributors examine on a micro-level the
textual and rhetorical elements of food-based language itself. The
Political Language of Food is both timely and important and will
appeal to scholars of media studies, political communication, and
rhetoric.
