Storied Conflict Talk

Narrative Construction in Mediation

By: Katherine A. Stewart,Madeline M. Maxwell

Narrative analyses routinely investigate autobiographical and interview data. This book examines "narratives-in-interaction" co-constructed by participants in formal mediation sessions, by asking how many of the five cases in the videotaped data display the adversarial narrative pattern pervasive within the interpersonal conflict literature, and secondly what other narrative patterns may be present, and how do they work? Focusing simultaneously at the utterance level and the macro-levels present within the larger dispute context, this book reveals situated communicative practices by which interlocutors interactively construct, resist, reproduce, and intertextually transform adversarial narratives to produce outcomes consonant with their underlying interests. In contrast to the dramaturgical model traditionally used in narrative research, this book illuminates the emergent, microgenetic character of narrative development.

Daniel James Mysteries

The Homeless Murder Mystery

By: Betty Maxwell

Daniel was third generation law enforcement and proud of it. In the five years Daniel had been in Devanville, there had been very few major crimes. But something told him things were about to change. He hated to leave his parents, but he didnt miss the city where he was raised. He much preferred the small-town way of life anytime. As he sensed, it didnt take long for the change to come about as the body of a homeless man was found in the snow just blocks from the Shelter of Good Hope. Who was this poor homeless person? Why would anyone want to murder such a pitiful old man who possessed nothing worth killing him for? Daniel had more questions than answers, and as he searched for the murderer who was killing the homeless of Devanville, he learned there were more surprises in store.

Unfree Workers

Insubordination and Resistance in Convict Australia, 1788-1860

By: Hamish Maxwell-Stewart,Michael Quinlan

This book examines how convicts played a key role in the development of capitalism in Australia and how their active resistance shaped both workplace relations and institutions. It highlights the contribution of convicts to worker mobilization and political descent, forcing a rethink of Australia’s foundational story. It is a book that will appeal to an international audience, as well as the many hundreds of thousands of Australians who can trace descent from convicts. It will enable the latter to make sense of the experience of their ancestors, equipping them with the necessary tools to understand convict and court records. It will also provide a valuable undergraduate and postgraduate teaching tool and reference for those studying unfree labour and worker history, social history, colonization and global migration in a digital age.

Simplicity and Humility in Late Antique Christian Thought

Elites and the Challenges of Apostolic Life

By: Jaclyn L. Maxwell

The social values of upper-class Christians in Late Antiquity often contrasted with the modest backgrounds of their religion's founders – the apostles – and the virtues they exemplified. Drawing on examples from the Cappadocian Fathers, John Chrysostom, and other late antique authors, this book examines attitudes toward the apostles' status as manual workers and their virtues of simplicity and humility. Due to the strong connection between these traits and low socioeconomic status, late antique bishops often allowed their own high standing to influence how they understood these matters. The virtues of simplicity and humility had been a natural fit for tentmakers and fishermen, but posed a significant challenge to Christians born into the elite and trained in prestigious schools. This volume examines the socioeconomic implications of Christianity in the Roman Empire by considering how the first wave of powerful, upper-class church leaders interpreted the socially radical elements of their religion.

The Search for Truth

History and Future of Universities

By: Maxwell Bennett

Universities have searched for truth over nearly a millennium. Maxwell Bennett recounts the history of this search during three of its most momentous periods in the 13th, 18th and 20th centuries, which helped fashion the idea of a university. He concludes with a cautionary assessment of whether universities, given their present level of material support, can reliably continue to protect and advance society.
