Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Devil's Oak: Waking the Feminine Wound is a short story collection that features strong female characters against a backdrop of ghosts, fairy tales, and urban legends. The thirteen stories subvert the historical narrative of women in fairy tales, positioning them as bold and willing to step into the face of danger. "The Braided Veil" features a young orphan in Victorian New Orleans who seeks revenge upon her mother's abuser. "Devil's Oak" addresses the horrors of slavery through the eyes of a young girl who learns that her family owned human beings. "Good Little Girls" takes readers back to childhood, when a sick girl explores her neighbor's attic on a stormy day; she discovers more than she bargained for. "The Game" features relational aggression in the 1990s in a "mean girls" style that takes a grizzly turn. "Selkie Skin" leans into Celtic lore, following a young pregnant girl who longs for freedom. "The Ripper Society" reaches back through time to Jack the Ripper's wife, who discovers his misdeeds and takes matters into her own hands. "She Has Seen the Wolf" is a longer story that connects to my novel, The Butterfly Circle; when a graduate student learns she is pregnant, she uncovers her family's connected history to a haunted home for unwed mothers. In "Roots in the Cove," a woman in an unhealthy relationship shapeshifts into a bear on a trip to Gatlinburg and finally finds her freedom. Both "Marsh Girl" and "Cicadas in the Suburbs" explore the psychological challenges of suburban life, including postpartum depression and the longing for the magic of youth. In "Honey Tree," a divorced woman seeks comfort from the bees, and in "Crow Woman," a widow faces metaphorical death and is reborn. Finally, "Ghost Apples" is a retelling of Snow White from the perspective of the queen; she shapeshifts into a wolf to protect a young girl who has been attacked and seeks revenge upon her abuser. Foreword written by Christopher Barzak, author of One for Sorrow, Monstrous Alterations, and A Voice Calling. Editor and cover design by A.Miller. Reviews "This is a standout collection, finely wrought, emotionally searing, and thematically unified. I would absolutely recommend it to readers. It's a collection that belongs on the shelf next to contemporary literary heavyweights and will likely become a favorite for those who seek both beauty and bite in their fiction." --Diane Sismour, author of novels, short stories, and screenplays This item is printed on demand.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The main objective of this edited volume is to offer pedagogically sound and creative ways of integrating elements of intercultural competence into class activities, tasks, and assignments in short-term faculty-led study abroad programs. The intercultural competencies, categorized in the areas of knowledge, skills, and attitudes, include characteristics such as awareness about self and other cultures, creative thinking, problem-solving, empathy, tolerance towards ambiguity, and withholding judgment, to name a few. By purposefully embedding these characteristics in their course activities, faculty leaders can better assist their students in deepening intercultural and global competencies. These competencies prepare the students for a changing global work environment and help them manage a more diverse workforce at home.This book is arranged into three sections. Section I provides the basic framework to understand short-term faculty-led study abroad programs from a theoretical as well as administrative perspectives. Section II showcases 11 contributions from faculty leaders who share program details demonstrating how intercultural competencies were strategically incorporated into the activities, tasks, and assignments of their study abroad curricula. Section III presents the conclusions with recommendations for faculty and administrators to plan and design short-term faculty-led study abroad programs.This book will contribute uniquely to the field by providing theoretically driven model courses from a broad spectrum of disciplines. The major goal of this book is to encourage the creation of new short-term faculty-led study abroad programs at the university level as well as empower current faculty leaders to strengthen or adapt their programs. The book will interest a broad readership of multidisciplinary study abroad educators, including faculty leaders, faculty leaders-in-training, faculty scholars, and administrators.
