Reforming the Household of God

Paul's Models of Belonging

By: Gray, Allison L.

“If the household of God that is the living Church is to flourish as a space where all can belong, we need to meet the major challenges we face as Christians with a commitment to compassionate listening, a willingness to engage in difficult or even painful conversations, and a genuine dedication to taking action that serves our siblings in the human family. For crucial conversations about lay leadership, institutional reform, and community belonging to take place, the faithful must first feel empowered to see and articulate connections between their lived experiences and the foundational texts that are part of the authoritative canon of Scripture. We have to grapple with those New Testament letters that talk about what it means to belong.” —from the introduction “In our age of polarity, could there be a more timely book than Allison Gray’s Reforming the Household of God: Paul's Model of Belonging? In this informed and readable book, Gray contextualizes how Paul the Apostle engaged metaphors to bridge the divide of differences in his communities, offering insight into how Christians might do the same today.” —Laurie Brink, OP, professor of New Testament studies, Catholic Theological Union “This incredible body of work expresses the genius of Allison Gray and is a significant contribution to the canon of liberative Christian praxis.” —Rev. Stephen A. Green, pastor and activist, The Luke, NYC

Seventh Catalog of the Vascular Plants of Ohio

By: Tom S. Cooperrider,Allison Cusick,John T. Kartesz

Scientific study of Ohio's plant life began in the late eighteenth century, and the first catalog of Ohio's vascular plants was published in 1860. The most recent catalog, published in 1932, has understandably become outdated. Now Tom S. Cooperrider and his co-authors, Barbara K. Andreas, Allison W. Cusick, Guy L Denny, John V. Freudenstein, and John J. Furlow, provide a comprehensive, modern reference covering the Ohio vascular flora. Including two thorough indexes -- one to scientific names, one to common names -- this user-friendly book will be invaluable for conservation and environmental workers in Ohio and surrounding states.

Doubly Erased

LGBTQ Literature in Appalachia

By: Allison E. Carey

The first book of its kind, Doubly Erased is a comprehensive study of the rich tradition of LGBTQ themes and characters in Appalachian novels, memoirs, poetry, drama, and film. Appalachia has long been seen as homogenous and tradition-bound. Allison E. Carey helps to remedy this misunderstanding, arguing that it has led to LGBTQ Appalachian authors being doubly erased—routinely overlooked both within United States literature because they are Appalachian and within the Appalachian literary tradition because they are queer. In exploring motifs of visibility, silence, storytelling, home, food, and more, Carey brings the full significance and range of LGBTQ Appalachian literature into relief. Dorothy Allison's Bastard Out of Carolina and Alison Bechdel's Fun Home are considered alongside works by Maggie Anderson, doris davenport, Jeff Mann, Lisa Alther, Julia Watts, Fenton Johnson, and Silas House, as well as filmmaker Beth Stephens. While primarily focused on 1976 to 2020, Doubly Erased also looks back to the region's literary "elders," thoughtfully mapping the place of sexuality in the lives and works of George Scarbrough, Byron Herbert Reece, and James Still.

a tumblr book

platform and cultures

By: Allison McCracken,Alexander Cho,Louisa Stein,Indira N Hoch

This book takes an extensive look at the many different types of users and cultures that comprise the popular social media platform Tumblr. Though it does not receive nearly as much attention as other social media such as Twitter or Facebook, Tumblr and its users have been hugely influential in creating and shifting popular culture, especially progressive youth culture, with the New York Times referring to 2014 as the dawning of the “age of Tumblr activism.” Perfect for those unfamiliar with the platform as well as those who grew up on it, this volume contains essays and artwork that span many different topics: fandom; platform structure and design; race, gender and sexuality, including queer and trans identities; aesthetics; disability and mental health; and social media privacy and ethics. An entire generation of young people that is now beginning to influence mass culture and politics came of age on Tumblr, and this volume is an indispensable guide to the many ways this platform works.
