A clear and cogent guide to how colleges and universities can
investigate student misconduct. All colleges and universities
grapple with the complexities of student misconduct. How can these
institutions conduct efficient fact-finding investigations and
disciplinary proceedings? What best practices should administrators
and legal counsel follow when student behavior interferes with a
university's mission or poses a campus safety threat? Oren R.
Griffin answers these questions and more in Investigating College
Student Misconduct, an essential resource for student affairs
professionals and university administrators. Misconduct
investigations and disciplinary proceedings are as common in higher
education as they are contested. Without the force of law, clear
procedures, or even rules of evidence, these proceedings can leave
both the accused and the accuser in danger of receiving unfair
treatment, opening the university up to legal action. Emphasizing
the importance of institutional compliance obligations and
students' rights, Griffin explores the fundamental steps that
should guide the investigation process. He describes tactics that
academic and student affairs administrators should consider and
comments on the importance of managing privileged and confidential
information-as well as communicating the results of and proposed
remedies to student misconduct investigations. A law professor,
scholar of higher education law, and associate dean who consults
with other universities on legal compliance and litigation matters,
Griffin brings a unique perspective to this topic. Touching on a
range of issues, including academic dishonesty, sexual assault,
freedom of speech, quasi-criminal activity, and other acts of
misconduct, Investigating Student Misconduct is supported by a
review of relevant judicial decisions from state and federal
courts, along with a conceptual and pragmatic analysis of important
statutory and constitutional provisions, including Title IX and
FERPA.
In the tsunami of publications on terrorism which followed 9/11,
few have probed effectively into the deeper layers of motivation
that enable normal human beings to carry out such unimaginable
acts. Terrorist's Creed casts a penetrating beam of empathetic
understanding into the disturbing and murky psychological world of
fanatical violence, explaining how the fanaticism it demands stems
from the profoundly human need to imbue existence with meaning and
transcendence. Drawing on sociology, psychology, novels and films,
it shows how the need to defend or create a territorial or purely
cultural 'home' in an unforgiving universe can precipitate a
process of 'heroic doubling' which in extreme circumstances
legitimates murder and suicide for the sake of a 'higher' cause.
The word 'fascism' sometimes appears to have become a catch-all
term of abuse, applicable to anyone on the political right, from
Hitler to Donald Trump and from Putin to Thatcher. While some argue
that it lacks any distinctive conceptual meaning at all, others
have supplied highly elaborate definitions of its 'essential'
features. It is therefore a concept that presents unique challenges
for any student of political theory or history. In this accessible
book, Roger Griffin, one of the world's leading authorities on
fascism, brings welcome clarity to this controversial ideology. He
examines its origins and development as a political concept, from
its historical beginnings in 1920s Italy up to the present day, and
guides students through the confusing maze of debates surrounding
the nature, definition and meaning of fascism. Elucidating with
skill and precision its dynamic as a utopian ideology of
national/racial rebirth, Griffin goes on to examine its post-Second
World War mutations and its relevance to understanding contemporary
right-wing political phenomena, ranging from Marine Le Pen to
Golden Dawn. This concise and engaging volume will be of great
interest to all students of political theory, the history of
political thought, and modern history.
The emerging shape of the post Cold War world provides evidence
that rather than diminishing, the profound intersection of
political ideology and religious forms of belief is an ever more
potent force in world affairs. This volume offers both theoretic
underpinnings, and a comparative analysis that elucidates this
potent and dangerous phenomenon.
A Fascist Century is actually two books in one. First, it is a
collection of 10 essays (nearly all printed here for the first time
in English) by one of the world's foremost experts in the nature
and evolution of fascism. These illuminate some of its most
significant aspects, notably its attempted temporal and
anthropological revolution, the dynamics of Nazism as the most
virulent manifestation of 'palingenesis', and its postwar
development away from interwar paradigms. Second, the preface,
extensive introduction and concluding discussion between author and
editor provide penetrating insights into the evolution of Griffin's
thinking between his two seminal monographs, The Nature of Fascism
(1991) and Modernism and Fascism (2007). Thanks also to the varying
academic register and length of the pieces, this functions both as
a multifaceted contribution to fascist studies and as a primer in
the nature of contemporary historiographical debates.
Ten essays on the nature of fascism by a leading scholar in the
field, focusing on how to understand and apply fascist ideology to
various movements since the twentieth century, Mussolini's
prophesied 'fascist century.' Includes studies of fascism's
attempted temporal revolution; Nazism as extended case-study; and
fascism's postwar evolution.
Intellectual debates surrounding modernity, modernism and fascism
continue to be active and hotly contested. In this ambitious book,
renowned expert on fascism Roger Griffin analyzes Western modernity
and the regimes of Mussolini and Hitler and offers a pioneering new
interpretation of the links between these apparently contradictory
phenomena.

continue to be active and hotly contested. In this ambitious book,

and the regimes of Mussolini and Hitler and offers a pioneering new
interpretation of the links between these apparently contradictory
phenomena.
Using a wealth of examples, Griffin describes how modernism's roots
lay in part in the fundamental human need to perceive a
transcendent meaning and purpose to life--and to restore this
purpose in times of experienced decay and social breakdown. This
sense of revolution and rebirth provided the context in which
fascism sought a new world based on the health and strength of the
nation or race.
"Modernism and Fascism" is an original and fascinating synthesis of
data and ideas which will be of interest to art and intellectual
historians, specialists in the study of modernity and modernism,
and experts in fascist studies. It also offers stimulating new
insights to all those concerned with the many contemporary
movements (e.g. Al-Qaeda, Christian fundamentalists) prepared to
fight for their belief in the transcendental meaning of life
against the inroads of an increasingly globalized materialism. This
is a book which promises to have a resonance far beyond the already
broad academic parameters of the project, and will inspire a new
wave of scholarly interest in modernity.
This pathbreaking collection of original essays surveys an important but neglected topic: anonymous publication in England from the Elizabethan age to the present. An impressive group of scholars analyzes a wide range of literary phenomena including Shakespeare in 17th-century commonplace books; the phrase “By a Lady”; the implied author of an 18th-century queer fiction; Bentley and the battle of the books; essays by Equiano (?); the novel, 1750-1830; Frankenstein’s unnamed monster; the coauthored pseudonym Michael Field; 19th-century ghostwriting; and a postmodern hoax on national identity. The editor’s introduction places the essays within the context of the historical trajectory of anonymous authorship. Essential reading for anyone interested in authorship and the history of the book.

In "Animal Minds," Donald R. Griffin takes us on a guided tour of
the recent explosion of scientific research on animal mentality.
Are animals consciously aware of anything, or are they merely
living machines, incapable of conscious thoughts or emotional
feelings? How can we tell? Such questions have long fascinated
Griffin, who has been a pioneer at the forefront of research in
animal cognition for decades, and is recognized as one of the
leading behavioral ecologists of the twentieth century.
With this new edition of his classic book, which he has completely
revised and updated, Griffin moves beyond considerations of animal
cognition to argue that scientists can and should investigate
questions of animal consciousness. Using examples from studies of
species ranging from chimpanzees and dolphins to birds and
honeybees, he demonstrates how communication among animals can
serve as a "window" into what animals think and feel, just as human
speech and nonverbal communication tell us most of what we know
about the thoughts and feelings of other people. Even when they
don't communicate about it, animals respond with sometimes
surprising versatility to new situations for which neither their
genes nor their previous experiences have prepared them, and
Griffin discusses what these behaviors can tell us about animal
minds. He also reviews the latest research in cognitive
neuroscience, which has revealed startling similarities in the
neural mechanisms underlying brain functioning in both humans and
other animals. Finally, in four chapters greatly expanded for this
edition, Griffin considers the latest scientific research on animal
consciousness, pro and con, and explores its profoundphilosophical
and ethical implications.
Letters to Myself is a compilation of letters written by women to
the women they were. These letters took courage and strength for
each woman to write, in most cases, opening wombs that had not
completely healed.
