Sinopsis

History of Universities offers a comprehensive exploration of how higher education evolved into the institutions we know today. Tracing the journey from medieval schools, the book highlights the shifting purposes of universities – initially centered on theology, law, and medicine, and later expanding to scientific research and technological innovation. It also examines the evolving social roles of universities, from influencing social mobility to shaping cultural development. 

 
The book adopts a chronological and thematic approach, starting with the emergence of medieval universities. It then analyzes their transformation during the Renaissance and Reformation, and concludes with the rise of the modern university in the 19th and 20th centuries. A unique aspect of this academic history lies in its comparative analysis of universities across different national contexts, revealing diverse pathways of institutional development and the interconnectedness of academia. 

 
The content provides necessary historical context, including an overview of medieval society, the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and the rise of modern nation-states.

    Fear is one of the most primal human emotions, deeply embedded in the survival instincts of individuals and societies. Throughout history, it has been harnessed as a tool of control, allowing those in positions of power to manipulate others for personal, political, or financial gain. Fear tactics involve the deliberate use of intimidation, threats, and uncertainty to shape perceptions, influence decisions, and suppress opposition. Whether used in personal relationships, corporate environments, or large-scale governance, these tactics exploit an individual’s natural aversion to danger and discomfort.  
    At its core, a fear tactic works by triggering the instinctive fight-or-flight response. When people perceive a threat—whether real or fabricated—they become more susceptible to external influence. Logical reasoning often takes a backseat to emotional reactions, making individuals more likely to comply with demands, accept misleading information, or make decisions that they otherwise would not consider. Fear-based influence operates on the principle that an individual will do whatever is necessary to avoid the perceived threat, even if it means relinquishing personal freedoms, adopting extreme beliefs, or placing trust in an unworthy authority.

    Private Censorship

    J.P. Messina

    Concerns about censorship have once again reached a fever pitch across the liberal West. With a few notable exceptions, complaints about censorship in the twenty-first century West are complaints about the behavior of private parties: employers, media conglomerates, social media platforms, and search engines. 
     
     
     
    To better understand the concerns surrounding nonstate interference with speech, Private Censorship offers an account of censorship, as well as an assessment of the ethical and political issues it raises across contexts. J. P. Messina asks and variously answers questions like: what should we think when employees get fired for things they say and how might patterns of such firings create a climate of fear inimical to free inquiry? When is it appropriate for social media firms to deplatform users, and what does it mean for our democracy that those in charge of such decisions are often wealthy Silicon Valley executives? Do search engines act as massive gatekeepers to information in troubling ways, and how might they be constrained, if they do? Along the way, Messina casts a critical eye on many popular proposals for responding to these complaints. Unlike these popular approaches, Private Censorship foregrounds the importance of rights to property, association, and free expression for thinking well about twenty-first century censorship concerns.

    The Women of Rendezvous is a dramatic transatlantic story about five women who birthed children by the same prominent Barbados politician and enslaver. Two of the women were his wives, two he enslaved, and one was a servant in his household. All were determined to make their way in a world that vastly and differentially circumscribed their life choices. From a Barbados plantation to the center of England's empire in London, Hester Tomkyns, Frances Knights, Susannah Mingo, Elizabeth Ashcroft, and Dorothy Spendlove built remarkable lives for themselves and their children in spite of, not because of, the man who linked them together. 
     
     
     
    Mining seventeenth- and eighteenth-century court records, deeds, wills, church registers, and estate inventories, Jenny Shaw centers the experiences of the women and their children, intertwining the microlevel relationships of family and the macrolevel political machinations of empire to show how white supremacy and racism developed in England and the colonies. Shaw also explores England's first slave society in North America, provides a glimpse into Black Britain long before the Windrush generation of the twentieth century, and demonstrates that England itself was a society with slaves in the early modern era.
