Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err.

Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

It explores the strategies survivors employed while recounting these traumatic experiences, and examines how survivors\u2019 experiences of sexualized violence during liberation have been both included in and excluded from public memory. By challenging the popular notion of liberation as universally positive and instead focusing on the memories of Jewish survivors, \u003C\/span\u003EShattered Liberation\u003Cspan\u003E uncovers a far more complicated, if not devastating, reality.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.press.purdue.edu\/9781626712188\/\u0022\u003ELearn more\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Chr\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cimg class=\u0022img-fluid\u0022 src=\u0022\/sites\/g\/files\/litvpz3506\/files\/inline-images\/Screenshot%202026-09-17%20at%206.07.23%E2%80%AFPM_0.png\u0022 data-entity-uuid=\u002280c41196-126e-4f76-93ee-5ec8138cae05\u0022 data-entity-type=\u0022file\u0022 alt=\u0022The Myth of Classical Liberalism de Marneffe\u0022 width=\u0022297\u0022 height=\u0022418\u0022 loading=\u0022lazy\u0022\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe Myth of Classical Liberalism: How Political Identity Evolves (Palgrave Pivot)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPeter de Marneffe, ASU Professor of Philosophy\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis short, engaging book challenges the widely held belief that \u2018classical liberalism\u2019 is the original and authentic form of liberalism. The book argues that this narrative \u2013 often used to position libertarianism as the true liberal tradition and social democratic liberalism as a distortion \u2013 is built on historical misunderstandings of the terms \u2018liberal\u2019 and \u2018liberalism\u2019.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFocusing on English and American contexts, the book uses primary sources to show that the free-market doctrines of Adam Smith, later interpreted by thinkers like Hayek and Friedman as libertarian principles, should not be conflated with liberalism. Instead, liberalism first emerged in nineteenth-century England as a political philosophy rooted in constitutionalism and republicanism. The book also examines how Franklin D. Roosevelt reshaped American political language by associating \u201cliberals\u201d with New Deal supporters and \u201cconservatives\u201d with its opponents. By exploring these two pivotal moments and the broader political and economic history that connects them, de Marneffe redefines classical liberalism and critiques rigid interpretations of liberal thought. This book will appeal to scholars of politics, philosophy, economics, and the history of ideas.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/link.springer.com\/book\/10.1007\/978-3-032-14319-8\u0022\u003ELearn more\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Chr\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cimg class=\u0022img-fluid\u0022 src=\u0022\/sites\/g\/files\/litvpz3506\/files\/inline-images\/9798765158104.jpg\u0022 data-entity-uuid=\u00228aaff411-5219-4b31-a458-68a21079432d\u0022 data-entity-type=\u0022file\u0022 alt=\u0022College Sports Ethics Klein\u0022 width=\u0022280\u0022 height=\u0022447\u0022 loading=\u0022lazy\u0022\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECollege Sports Ethics: Challenges, Questions, and Opportunities (Bloomsbury)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EEdited by Shawn E.

The second section looks more closely at the interplay of the academic institutions and athletics, arguing that since college sports programs are part of institutions of higher learning, we need to consider the purposes of these institutions when evaluating college sports. Moreover, the well-being and protection of college athletes is central to an ethically defensible college system.

Through an intertextual analysis of Ibn al-Jawzi\u2019s works in various genres, this book details how his ideal form of rulership reflected the emotional norms and pietistic moral virtues promoted in Muslim hortatory sermons. It also examines the emotional strategies deployed in his efforts to reform the rulers of his time. In highlighting the importance of piety in Ibn al-Jawzi\u2019s political discourses, the book points to a new reading of the history of Islamic political thought that, rather than foregrounding order and military prowess, considers competing political languages among medieval Muslim intellectuals. In doing so, it calls for the need to rethink notions of \u2018politics\u2019 and the \u2018political\u2019 when studying Islam.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/edinburghuniversitypress.com\/book-preaching-pious-rulership-in-medieval-islam.html\u0022\u003ELearn more\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Chr\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cimg class=\u0022img-fluid\u0022 src=\u0022\/sites\/g\/files\/litvpz3506\/files\/inline-images\/71tmVxCuusL._SL1360_.jpg\u0022 data-entity-uuid=\u0022591f9625-8979-40cf-85f0-6feec286626e\u0022 data-entity-type=\u0022file\u0022 alt=\u0022Jewish Environmentalism in the Post-Secular Age Tirosh-Samuelson\u0022 width=\u0022284\u0022 height=\u0022451\u0022 loading=\u0022lazy\u0022\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EJewish Environmentalism in the Post-Secular Age: Earthly Spirituality (Routledge)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHava Tirosh-Samuelson, ASU \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERegents\u0027 Professor of History\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPresenting Jewish environmentalism as a case study of contemporary post-secularism, this book exemplifies the responses of world religions to the global ecological crisis and situates Jewish environmental spirituality historically, socially, theologically, and politically.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDiscussing key figures, texts, and organizations that have given Jewish environmentalism its distinctive character as \u201cearthly spirituality\u201d, the book explains how science and technology functioned in the secularization of Judaism, on the one hand, as well as in the counter process of sacralization of nature.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration. Within this space, Davis uncovers creative, even fantastical strategies for shifting human and more-than-human relationships towards a more ecologically just world.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EVillamil \u0026amp; Villamil \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cspan\u003Eis a Colombian artist duo founded by brothers Sebasti\u00e1n and Felipe Villamil. Working across sculpture, animation, moving image, sound and immersive installation, their practice appropriates elements of contemporary visual culture and intervenes through strategies of spectacle, including amplification, staging, repetition and hypervisibility.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art. With a previous background in ecology and biology, their work arises out of the mythologies and hypotheses of the scientific world, exploring sites of tension or incoherence.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELily Regalia (she\/her)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E is a painter born in Saint Paul, Minnesota and based in Phoenix, Arizona.

Working across painting and drawing intertwined with direct observation and self-portraiture, her practice investigates themes of identity, intimacy and absence. Having grown up in a family that renovates houses, there is a continued fascination with observing their interiors and how people within inhabit the in-between.

Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

With a previous background in ecology and biology, their work arises out of the mythologies and hypotheses of the scientific world, exploring sites of tension or incoherence.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELily Regalia (she\/her)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E is a painter born in Saint Paul, Minnesota and based in Phoenix, Arizona. She explores how domestic spaces are structured to mirror the psyche. Working across painting and drawing intertwined with direct observation and self-portraiture, her practice investigates themes of identity, intimacy and absence. Having grown up in a family that renovates houses, there is a continued fascination with observing their interiors and how people within inhabit the in-between. She uses these unfinished states to reflect the instability and incompleteness within human connection.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDawn Kushner (she\/her)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E is an Appalachian interdisciplinary artist whose practice centers around grief, memory and the cumulative effects of extractive capitalism.
