Examines the influence of the Pre-Raphaelite movement on art and literature around the world.Pre-Raphaelitism's influence during the long nineteenth century was far-reaching, affecting artistic and literary thought in places, media, and times far removed from its origins in 1848 London. Worldwide Pre-Raphaelitism examines the movement's development beyond England, from the continental "immortals" glorified by the nascent Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood to later reactions against and in sympathy with the ideals of the movement after it had ended. This collection of essays by art historians, literary critics, fashion historians, women's studies scholars, and independent researchers from around the world enhances our understanding of the global impact of Pre-Raphaelitism on the art-historical and literary developments of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) has been widely and effectively used across colleges and universities to create flexible learning environments and minimize barriers to higher education. UDL at Scale gives campus leaders and administrators the tools to expand UDL's reach. A call to action and a how-to guide, the book offers an executive-focus understanding of the background, research, and practical steps for framing, testing, and adopting universal design for learning at a systemic level. Thomas J. Tobin, a leading speaker and researcher on the topic of UDL, provides an evidence-based model for mid-level and senior administrators, with real-life stories from educators who have adopted UDL practices to address enrollment, persistence, and retention concerns—and along the way lower barriers for students, instructors, and staff members. UDL at Scale will help campus leaders define challenges, build a team of UDL champions, create compelling messaging for a campus-wide community, map goals and measurements for UDL-at-scale projects, and assess the work and creativity that colleagues put into becoming a UDL institution. Throughout, Tobin presents ideas for designing systems that give agency and space for all involved in the processes of teaching and learning that occur at universities. Looking beyond classrooms and courses, his insights and suggestions extend to the support offices and staff who interact with students (such as librarians, tutors, and counselors) and are instrumental to creating a campus-wide climate of inclusion and welcome. Last—but certainly not least—Tobin argues that lowering access barriers campus-wide also makes good financial sense, and UDL at Scale shows readers how to do it.

A growing number of people completing or holding graduate degrees now seek non-faculty positions—also called alternative academic, or “alt-ac” positions—at different stages in their careers. While an increasing number of people with doctoral degrees are hunting for a diminishing pool of tenure-track faculty jobs, most degree-granting institutions do not adequately prepare their graduate students to enter the new reality of the alt-ac job market. Yet the administrative ranks in higher education institutions are growing, as colleges and universities are creating a diverse range of positions that support teaching and learning efforts.Focusing on the range of potential alternative career choices, this highly practical book offers tools and prompts for readers who are:·Considering whether to choose an alt-ac career path·Seeking specific alt-ac positions·Advising graduate students or mentoring recent professional graduates·Encountering alt-ac career challengesThe authors offer case stories—their own and those of colleagues across North America in alt-ac roles—with concrete examples designed to help readers pursue, obtain, and excel in a wide variety of alt-ac positions. The book can equally be used as a resource for graduate courses on professional development and job-market preparation.

Advocates for the rights of people with disabilities have worked hard to make universal design in the built environment “just part of what we do.” We no longer see curb cuts, for instance, as accommodations for people with disabilities, but perceive their usefulness every time we ride our bikes or push our strollers through crosswalks.This is also a perfect model for Universal Design for Learning (UDL), a framework grounded in the neuroscience of why, what, and how people learn. Tobin and Behling show that, although it is often associated with students with disabilities, UDL can be profitably broadened toward a larger ease-of-use and general diversity framework. Captioned instructional videos, for example, benefit learners with hearing impairments but also the student who worries about waking her young children at night or those studying on a noisy team bus.Reach Everyone, Teach Everyone is aimed at faculty members, faculty-service staff, disability support providers, student-service staff, campus leaders, and graduate students who want to strengthen the engagement, interaction, and performance of all college students. It includes resources for readers who want to become UDL experts and advocates: real-world case studies, active-learning techniques, UDL coaching skills, micro- and macro-level UDL-adoption guidance, and use-them-now resources.
