Winner of a 2013 American Educational Studies Association Critics' Choice Award Drawing on conversations with hundreds of professors, co-curricular educators, administrators, and students from institutions spanning the entire spectrum of American colleges and universities, the Jacobsens illustrate how religion is constructively intertwined with the work of higher education in the twenty-first century. No Longer Invisible documents how, after decades when religion was marginalized, colleges and universities are re-engaging matters of faith-an educational development that is both positive and necessary. Religion in contemporary American life is now incredibly complex, with religious pluralism on the rise and the categories of "religious" and "secular" often blending together in a dizzying array of lifestyles and beliefs. Using the categories of historic religion, public religion, and personal religion, No Longer Invisible offers a new framework for understanding this emerging religious terrain, a framework that can help colleges and universities-and the students who attend them-interact with religion more effectively. The stakes are high: Faced with escalating pressures to focus solely on job training, American higher education may find that paying more careful and nuanced attention to religion is a prerequisite for preserving American higher education's longstanding commitment to personal, social, and civic learning.
The progress of talented women in corporate America remains a disappointment. While a few have beaten the odds and broken through the glass ceiling, some, despite their achievement of executive rank, have become so disillusioned that they are exiting traditional corporate organizations altogether. Why are high-functioning, successful women feeling professionally unfulfilled? The Glass Wall Theory describes the impact of isolation and unexpected marginalization women encounter when organizations are anchored by a closed group of male elitists. Glass Walls shares inspirational stories from women who have endured the Glass Wall phenomenon, descriptions of workplace factions, and survival tactics to help you navigate your career toward the success you dream about and deserve.
