This book was released on 2021-07-09 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living with Stuttering is for anyone with a personal, clinical, or academic interest in speech disorders-and anyone with a general interest in the human experience. Ken St. Louis neatly and thoroughly explains the current state of thinking and practice, and some of the history that has brought the profession to this point. Beyond this, the book presents the personal testimonies of twenty-nine people whose lives have been to some degree shaped by stuttering-stories of humor and heartbreak, acceptance and rejection, and the ability of an individual to define and achieve his or her own standard of success. These experiences powerfully illustrate that we humans are all very different from each other, and also very much the same. "Stuttering cannot be completely understood unless personal experiences are taken into account. In this second edition of his invaluable book, Ken St. Louis presents several of these stories from a diverse group of people ... The book also provides a summary of important information about stuttering, and useful resources for people who stutter and their families." -Michael P. Boyle, PhD, CCC-SLP; Associate Professor, Communication Sciences and Disorders, Montclair State University "Even though [the first edition] is on my shelf, it's rarely 'on my shelf.' ... This new version picks up with an updated Stuttering 101 chapter, summarizes the public opinions of stuttering, and presents candid stories from people who stutter to make the experience of stuttering real. Thanks to you, Ken...and to all of your story tellers!" -John A. Tetnowski, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-F, ASHA-F; Professor & Jeanette Sias Endowed Chair; Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders; Oklahoma State University "Ken St. Louis ... has purposefully included stories of individuals from beyond the US-in their own words-which demonstrate that we can not only live but can thrive, regardless of whether or not we happen to stutter. It is a book of inspiration, information, and hope." -Lee Reeves, DVM, Past Chairman, National Stuttering Association

This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identity matters. Who we are in terms of our intersecting identities such as gender, race, social class, (dis)ability, geography, and religion are integral to who we are and how we navigate work and life. Unfortunately, many people have yet to grasp this understanding and, as a result, so many of our work spaces lack appropriate responses to what this means. Therefore, Identity Intersectionalities, Mentoring, and Work?life (Im)balance: Educators (Re)negotiate the Personal, Professional, and Political, the most recent installment of the work?life balance series, uses an intersectional perspective to critically examine the concept of work?life balance. In an effort to build on the first book in the series, that focused on professors in educational leadership preparation programs, the authors here represent educators across the P?20 pipeline (primary and secondary schools in addition to higher education). This book is also unique in that it includes the voices of practitioners, students, and academics from a variety of related disciplines within the education profession, enabling the editors to include a diverse group of educators whose many voices speak to work?life balance in unique and very personal ways. Contributing authors challenge whether the concept of work?life balance might be conceived as a privileged –and even an impractical?endeavor. Yet, the bottom line is, conceptions of work?life balance are exceptionally complex and vary widely depending on one’s many roles and intersecting identities. Moreover, this book considers how mentoring is important to negotiating the politics that come with balancing work and life; especially, if those intersecting identities are frequently associated with unsolicited stereotypes that impede upon one’s academic, professional and personal pursuits in life. Finally, the editors argue that the power to authentically “be ourselves” is not only important to individual success, but also beneficial to fostering an institutional culture and climate that is truly supportive of and responsive to diversity, equity, and justice. Taken together, the voices in this book are a clarion call for P?12 and higher education professionals and organizations to envision how identity intersectionalities might become an every?day understanding, a normalized appreciation, and a customary commitment that translates into policy and practice.

Book excerpt: Much has been written about lifehistory research in recent times. It has been paraded as a counterculture to the traditional research canon, and celebrated as a genre that promotes methodological pluralism. However, lifehistory researchers have an obligation to transcend spurious claims about the perceived merits of the methodology and extend the debates around how the genre simultaneously problematises and responds to the competing challenges of Epistemology, Methodology and Representation. In conceiving of each of the chapters from an epistemological perspective, the authors focus on how their individual work has crossed or expanded traditional borders of epistemology and ontology; of how the work has satisfied the rigours of thesis production and contributed to changing conceptions of knowledge, what knowledge gets produced and how knowledge is produced when we make particular methodological choices. Since any methodological orientation is invariably selective, and the researcher is always involved and implicated in the production of data, the authors focus on what selections they have made in their projects, what governed these choices, what benefits/deficits those choices yielded, and what the implications of their research are for those meta-narratives that have established the regimes of truth, legitimacy, and veracity in research. Knowledge production is inextricably linked to representation. In the process of articulating their findings, each author made particular representational choices, sometimes transgressing conventional approaches. The book explores why these choices were made and how the choices influenced the kinds of knowledge generated. The book provides theoretical justifications for these transgressions and reflect on how the experience of representation helped disrupt the authors’ essentialist notions of research production and for whom it is produced. This book is not another celebration of lifehistory as a counterculture. The book hopes to be a deeply critical contribution to disrupt notions around epistemological authority, voice and power and how these are mediated by the delicate relations of the researcher and researched. The problematises and complicates the assumptions that frame this genre with a view to highlighting the potential hazards of the method while demonstrating its potentiality in shaping our conceptions of Ethics, Methodology and Representation.
