‎Networks of Trust: The Social Costs of College and What We Can Do about Them‎

‎Hardback. New. <b>An eye-opening look at how parents’ mistrust of colleges has less to do with what their kids are learning than with whom they come to trust. </b><br />  <br /> In today’s culture wars higher education a familiar battlefield faces criticism from both the left and the right. Colleges and universities are accused of indoctrinating conservative students with liberal values and failing to be inclusive of marginalized students. The anxieties expressed on both sides of the political spectrum have much in common. And notably they are triggered not by the educational mission’s failure but by its success. <br /> ​<br /> In <i>Networks of Trust</i> philosopher Anthony Simon Laden offers a new lens through which to view political debates about higher education. Laden argues that a college education encourages students to inhabit and use new informational trust networks: the complex networks of people and institutions they trust as reliable sources of information with which to think about and understand the world. In doing so a college education leads some students to question the very trust networks established by their communities placing stress on those social ties. For many students that stress imposes a considerable cost. Recognizing both the benefits and potential harms built into the education that these institutions provide <i>Networks of Trust</i> offers a path for both sides to engage with one another and proposes how colleges and universities can carry out their educational mission in a positive trustworthy manner. hardcover‎

‎The Male Complaint: The Manosphere and Misogyny Online‎

‎Hardback. New. Inspired by leaders such as Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson the online manosphere has exploded in recent years. Dedicated to anti-feminism these communities have orchestrated online campaigns of misogynistic harassment with some individuals going as far as committing violent terrorist attacks.<br /><br />Although the manosphere has become a focus point of the media researchers and governments alike discussions tend to either over-sensationalise the community or offer simplistic explanations for their existence. This book uses a mixture of historical and economic analysis alongside actual manosphere content to delve deeper. With <i>The Male Complaint </i>Simon Copland explains how the manosphere has developed and why it appeals to so many men. He argues that the manosphere is not an aberration but is deeply embedded within mainstream neoliberal social structures. For a cohort of alienated men the promise of community provides a space of understanding connection and purpose. <br /><br />This insightful book dares to dig into the corners of incel communities and online spaces where misogyny thrives. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand and do something about this growing and worrying phenomenon. hardcover‎

‎Illustrating the Victorian Supernatural‎

‎Hardback. New. <p><b>A detailed study of Victorian supernaturalism in book and magazine illustrations and cartoons </b><br /> <i>Illustrating the Victorian Supernatural </i>explores written and visual texts through which the original Victorian readership encountered and navigated their experience of supernaturalism. Looking across the nineteenth century Simon Cooke investigates illustrative responses to well-known texts by writers such as Charles Dickens and Henry James while also examining responses to less familiar ghost stories by female authors such as M. E. Braddon and Amelia Edwards. The mix of familiar and unfamiliar carries forward into the selection of artists both those in the mainstream-John Leech George Cruikshank Dante Gabriel Rossetti John Everett Millais-and others whose names are lost to modern readers and whose work deserves to be better known.<br /> The study addresses two main questions: how illustration responded to key literary texts and how graphic designs related to contemporary contexts of race gender and class and to the workings of the supernatural itself. The first chapter focuses on satirical writings about ghosts and ghostliness and the various ways illustrators depicted that mockery. Chapter 2 traces artistic responses to Dickens’s writing of the supernatural as a mode of psychological investigation. Chapter 3 looks at class and gender and the problematic practice of male artists illustrating female-authored ghost stories. The fourth chapter examines satirical cartoons’ deployment of supernatural imagery to anatomize issues of imperialism and race. Finally chapter 5 examines how neo-Victorian artists have revisited the classic texts and taken up the themes established by their forebears.</p> hardcover‎
