This text brings together writing and research on feminist experience in academia. It covers issues such as provision of care, maternalism in the academy and dynamics of interaction between women in higher eduction. There are challenging and provocative analyses of many questions: how large is the gap between rhetoric and reality in HE institutions? how do institutions behave towards disabled staff? how far is stereotyping still affecting the roles which women play in academia? what do women face when they combine motherhood with teaching or studying? coping mechanisms and survival tactics are brought under scrutiny, and the effect these have on the behaviour of female academics and their interactions with the institution of each other. This text should provide insight and evidence for researchers to further develop their own theories, and also many starting points for those wishing to undertake their own research. Written in collaboration with the Women in Higher Education Network.

The side-splittingly funny Newbery Honor Book about a rebellious boy who is sent to a home-schooling program run by one family—the creative, kooky, loud, and loving Applewhites! Jake Semple is notorious. Rumor has it he managed to get kicked out of every school in Rhode Island, and actually burned the last one down to the ground. Only one place will take him now, and that's a home school run by the Applewhites, a chaotic and hilarious family of artists: poet Lucille, theater director Randolph, dancer Cordelia, and dreamy Destiny. The only one who doesn't fit the Applewhite mold is E.D.—a smart, sensible girl who immediately clashes with the defiant Jake. Jake thinks surviving this new school will be a breeze . . . but is he really as tough or as bad as he seems?

The peace treaty between humans and shapeshifters was signed over a century ago. One of the consequences is that humans must provide shifters with young brides to give them heirs and ensure the survival of their species. Today, all over the world, special boarding schools take girls from orphanages and give them the most exquisite education, preparing them to become brides for the enemy. Sexy, curvy, and confident, Avelyn is one of those wild souls who will not be traded off as livestock. She's determined to do everything in her power to gain her freedom and build a new life far away from shapeshifters and what society expects of her. Alpha werewolf Max Blackmane is in search of a bride. When he comes to Alma Venus Boarding School, one of the best schools for shifter brides in the world, he is set on buying a young woman who would bring him political advantage. When he sees Avelyn, his plans are turned upside down. She's far from what his clan wants him to bring home, but he can't imagine his life without her. Avelyn uses every trick in the book to convince Max to buy another bride. It doesn't matter that his perfect body and smooth voice make her weak in the knees. She has a dream, and her dream does not include a wolf-shifter for a husband and a bunch of wolf pups clinging to her skirts.
