Co-edited by Ryan Rish, assistant professor, learning and instruction.

Edited by Margaret W. Sallee, associate professor, educational leadership and policy. Published in 2020 by Stylus Publishing, this book argues that the current structure of student affairs work is not sustainable, as it depends on the notion that employees are available to work non-stop without any outside responsibilities, that is, the "ideal worker norm." The field places inordinate burdens on staff to respond to the needs of students, often at the expense of their own families and well-being. Each chapter has suggestions about how to change the field so that everyone can thrive.
Co-edited by Julie Gorlewski, chair and associate professor, learning and instruction. Published in 2019 by Routledge Press, the book extends the discussions and critiques of neoliberalism in education by examining the potential for Schools of Teacher Education to contest policies that perpetuate injustice in K-12 schooling. Drawing on a case study of faculty collaboration, this edited volume reimagines teacher preparation programs as crucial sites of resistance to, and refusal of, unsound education
practices and legislation.
