Presenting higher education teaching as a performative, creative,
and improvisational activity, Teaching with Confidence in Higher
Education explores how skills and techniques from the performing
arts can be used to increase the confidence and enhance the
performance of teachers. Guiding readers to reflect on their own
teaching practices, this helpful and innovative book proposes
practical techniques that will improve higher education teachers'
abilities to lead and facilitate engaging and interactive learning
sessions. Encouraging the creation of inclusive learning
experiences, the book offers insights into how performative
techniques can help place the student centre stage. Drawing on a
variety of performing arts contexts, including acting, singing,
stand-up comedy, and dance, as well as interviews with academics
and performers, the book helps readers to: Critically analyse their
own practice, identifying areas for improvement Manage their
anxiety and 'stage fright' when it comes to teaching Become more
aware of both their voice and body, establishing professional
techniques to improve physical and vocal performance Learn to
improvise in order to prepare for the unprepared Understand the
concepts of active learning and inclusivity within the classroom.
Raising awareness of good practice as well as potential areas for
development, Teaching with Confidence in Higher Education is ideal

In celebrating the academic career and practice of a distinguished
scholar of French literature, this volume concentrates on one of
Peter Broome's major preoccupations and attainments: translation.
Eschewing a dogmatic, theoretical approach, the contributors
(former colleagues and students) tackle four rich areas of study:
modern anglophone poets' reactions to, and translations of, authors
with whom they have closely identified (Racine, the Symbolists,
Saint-John Perse, Valery); problematics of translating specific
poets of recent centuries (Rimbaud, Mallarme, Valery, Cesaire, some
contemporary poets); reception and interaction in two foreign
countries (Australia, Spain); and a more fluid interpretation of
translation, moving the notion across into wider realms of literary
expression (Mallarme, Proust, Assia Djebar). A focalising feature,
punctuating the volume, are Peter Broome's own translations of
hitherto unpublished poems by five major contemporary French
writers: Jean-Paul Auxemery, Marie-Claire Bancquart, Louise Merlin,
Venus Khoury-Ghata and Jean-Charles Vegliante. The book thus
intertwines theory and practice in a non-prescriptive manner which
invites further elaboration and analysis.
The Cambridge Companion to Proust provides a broad account of the major features of Marcel Proust's great work A la recherche du temps perdu (1913-1927). The specially commissioned essays, by acknowledged experts on Proust, address a wide range of issues relating to his work. Progressing from background and biographical material, the chapters investigate such essential areas as the composition of the novel, its social dimension, the language in which it is couched, its intellectual parameters and its humor.
The essential guide to teaching and learning in higher education

Academy (HEA) recognition. Understand how to plan and evaluate
teaching sessions, the dynamics of teaching in small and large
groups, how to use technology effectively, the particular
challenges of laboratory and fieldwork and the importance of
inclusive practice and career development. Key features include: *
Practical strategies to enhance student learning and motivation. *
Case studies from higher education professionals in various roles *
Activities and reflection points applying educational principles to
your own teaching * Chapter links to the UK Professional Standards
Framework (UKPSF)
Over the last fifty years in the United States, unions have been in
deep decline, while income and wealth inequality have grown. In
this timely work, editors Richard Bales and Charlotte Garden - with
a roster of thirty-five leading labor scholars - analyze these
trends and show how they are linked. Designed to appeal to those
being introduced to the field as well as experts seeking new
insights, this book demonstrates how federal labor law is failing
today's workers and disempowering unions; how union jobs pay better
than nonunion jobs and help to increase the wages of even nonunion
workers; and how, when union jobs vanish, the wage premium also
vanishes. At the same time, the book offers a range of solutions,
from the radical, such as a complete overhaul of federal labor law,
to the incremental, including reforms that could be undertaken by
federal agencies on their own.

Gregoire Le Roy was at school in Ghent with Maeterlinck and Van
Leberghe, and grew up in the same atmosphere of intellectual
ferment. His first collection of published verse just pre-dates
Maeterlinck's Serres chaudes. His fin-de-siecle poetry was highly
considered at the time of its first appearance, and was widely
published in reviews. He treats all the major themes of the period,
with special emphasis on a melancholy tone, half-tint landscapes,
overt musicality, and (almost obsessively) the destructive nature
of time. This is the first edition since their original publication
in 1889 and 1907 of the three collections of poems by a significant
member of the Belgian Symbolist school. Republishing Le Roy's early
work is an important step in recreating an accurate intellectual
portrait of an important and influential movement.
