This writing textbook bridges factual, critical, and expressive
modes of writing to help students develop a reflective sense of why
and how to write for university, professional, and public
audiences. Exploring the ways in which writing builds tools for
argument both in and beyond the university, it enables students to
break out of the dusty and formulaic patterns of writing that too
often threaten to render academic studies irrelevant. In a playful,
personal, essayistic style, it examines existing academic writing
methods and develops new modes of narrative-based expression rooted
in the humanities. Reflective analysis invites emerging writers to
self-consciously craft convincing and impassioned writing practices
using an expanded methodological toolbox. It aims to imbue academic
writing with the expressive potential of artistic research by
transforming existing methods of articulating analysis within a
broader expressive system, developing skills more typical of
creative writing, such as providing a setting, considering frame,
engaging emotions, expansion, and concision. If we believe in the
value of our thoughts, discoveries, and arguments, we must enable
them to sing. Loving Writing can be used as a textbook for advanced
or introductory college writing courses and provides innovative
guidance to liberal arts students seeking to develop their writing
abilities.

Revealing what is 'Islamic' in Islamic art, Shaw explores the
perception of arts, including painting, music, and geometry through
the discursive sphere of historical Islam including the Qur'an,
Hadith, Sufism, ancient philosophy, and poetry. Emphasis on the
experience of reception over the context of production enables a
new approach, not only to Islam and its arts, but also as a
decolonizing model for global approaches to art history. Shaw
combines a concise introduction to Islamic intellectual history
with a critique of the modern, secular, and European premises of
disciplinary art history. Her meticulous interpretations of
intertextual themes span antique philosophies, core religious and
theological texts, and prominent prose and poetry in Arabic,
Persian, Turkish, and Urdu that circulated across regions of
Islamic hegemony from the eleventh century to the colonial and
post-colonial contexts of the modern Middle East.
