Summary

Diversity Enrollment Efforts examines how law schools navigate diversity and inclusion, particularly focusing on inclusive legal education. It offers a comprehensive look at recruitment strategies, support programs for underrepresented students, and curricular reform. The book argues that a holistic approach is essential, highlighting that surface-level initiatives often fail without robust support and integration. One intriguing fact is the historical underrepresentation of certain demographics in law schools, which the book traces through institutional efforts to remedy these imbalances.

 
The book unfolds in three sections: recruitment, support programs, and curricular modifications. It analyzes the effectiveness of outreach programs and pipeline initiatives. It also assesses support like mentorship and academic assistance. Finally, it explores how curricula can incorporate diverse perspectives, addressing issues of race and socioeconomic status within the legal system. The evidence presented draws from various sources, including studies of law school demographics and analyses of admissions policies. This approach makes the book valuable for law school administrators, faculty, and anyone interested in higher education diversity.

Seasons of Sobriety - poetry +...

Amber Michele Giangregorio

Seasons of Sobriety was originally written as a therapeutic outlet during a period filled 
with darkness. As time went on, however, the writing evolved into something more 
enlightened. The purpose of this book, which begins with the journey toward addiction 
and ends with a sober-curious mindset, is to offer encouragement and inspiration, as 
well as to illustrate through poetry and prose that a powerful potential exists within every 
person, ready to be awakened. The book is divided into four chapters that represent 
the seasons of the year (winter, spring, summer, and autumn) because each season 
represents a different phase of the journey: impulsivity, healing, abundance, and 
renewal. As you travel through the seasons, you feel the impact of the poetry as it 
relates to the natural world. The book will start with the darkness of winter but keep 
reading to find the brilliant colors in autumn. If you are trapped in the dark, the poems in 
this book will offer tools and thought-provoking ideas to help you find the light.

Utopia (Hero Classics)

Thomas Moore

Part of the Hero Classics series 
Utopia is a distant island where the inhabitants are thriving and justice and reason prevail, in contrast to the realities of sixteenth-century Europe, where greed, superstition and unenlightened tradition reign. Using the framework of a traveller’s account to a fictional land, Thomas More created an ingenious treatise which envisioned a more humanist approach to laws and social structures, and coined the now common term “utopia”.

A Better Nation - The Challenges...

Simon Barrow, Gerry Hassan

As the battle of words over the future of Scotland as a democracy, nation and society continues, A Better Nation: The Challenges of Scottish Independence aims to go beyond the superficial divisions and media noise in order to address matters of real substance. Drawing on a range of original thinkers from a wide range of backgrounds, it tackles key issues about money, culture, equality, energy, borders, jobs, Europe and other 'big questions' head on.

A Better Nation illustrates the high stakes in this debate, as well as the opportunities it affords. Outlining political approaches which are respectful of different views, doubts and ambiguities, it asks what kind of society we want to create and how we want to govern ourselves. The nature of the British state and Scottish democracy, the need to tackle inequalities, the challenges of centre-left politics, the climate emergency and the pressing need for a wellbeing economy are put at the heart of the discussion about independence.

Ciaran Martin, Roz Foyer, Paul Mason, Gavin Esler, Joyce McMillan, John Curtice, Dani Garavelli, David Clark, Tanja Bueltmann, Malcolm Chalmers, Kirsty Hughes, John Kay, Lisa Clark, Colin Kidd, Hannah Graham, Paul Sweeney and many others.
