On the occasion of Dr. Julia P. McLeod's promotion to Senior Lecturer
My essay, 'The Woman Proprietor in Elizabeth Stuart Phelps's The Silent Partner: Social Reform Novel as Paradigm of John Stuart Mill's Liberal Political Economy,' is included as Chapter 8 of this book.
The Fictions of American Capitalism: Working Fictions and the Economic Novel
On the occasion of Dr. Justin Rhinehart's promotion to Professor
While this work is not directly related to my field of study, the philosophies set forth in it freed human creativity to build a continually-improving culture that now allows me to pursue the endeavors of my choosing.
Two Treatises of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration
On the occasion of Dr. Kandace Renee Hollenbach's tenure and promotion to Associate Professor
I have been reading this book this fall, and Carroll's engagement of political ecology has me thinking about the seeds I study in a different way. Seeds are connected to past practices, current knowledge, and future well-being. To date I have mainly focused on the past, and I hope the next phase of my research can contribute to descendant well-being.
Roots of Our Renewal: Ethnobotany and Cherokee Environmental Governance
Department - Educational Leadership & Policy Studies
On the occasion of Dr. Karen D. Boyd's promotion to Professor of Practice
This book voices my perspective on and gives a legal foundation for the relational quality faculty, administrator's, and college's/university's should pursue with their students. It shaped my practice philosophy and research agenda and launched my career transition to faculty. Without this book and these author's continued work I would not be at the University of Tennessee today. I ask for this book to be placed here for today and future generations of Tennessee faculty, administrators, and students to hear and heed its message to focus on the educational first and only then consider the legal.
The Rights and Responsibilities of the Modern University: Who Assumes the Risks of College Life?
On the occasion of Dr. Karen Lasater's promotion to Clinical Professor
Dr. Swisher was my great grandfather who was a professor at the University of Iowa. He wrote several books mainly on the state of Iowa. His books of poetry were passed down to each new generation. He had at least one son in law, 9 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren who attended college within the University of Tennessee System.
On the occasion of Dr. Katherine Rowinski's promotion to Distinguished Lecturer
I chose this book because Carl Rogers, one of the most influential psychologists in American history and founder of the humanistic psychology movement, revolutionized psychotherapy with his concept of 'client-centered therapy.' His influence has spanned decades, but that influence has become so much a part of mainstream psychology that the ingenious nature of his work has almost been forgotten. Through the experience of empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard, we all can experience meaningful relationships and optimal self-growth.
On Becoming a Person: A Therapist's View of Psychotherapy
On the occasion of Dr. Konstantinos Vogiatzis's tenure and promotion to Associate Professor
When I look back at my memories on that book, I remember the long nights that we spent with my first students writing a chapter that is included in this collection. This book chapter was perhaps the beginning of a successful career at the University of Tennessee.
On the occasion of Dr. Ling Zhao's promotion to Professor
As a Chinese American Woman myself, I have become more interested in finding my social identity in this country. I hope this book helps me and other women of Chinese cultural heritage know the history and find our identities in this country.
