  In Reimagine Inclusion, veteran DEI leader Mita Mallick debunks thirteen myths that hold us back from transforming our workplaces.

  Unlock the Power of Thinking: A Guide to Educating Minds for a Complex World 
  In a world flooded with information but starved for meaning, Mind to Think offers a bold and urgent message: we must teach ourselves and our children not just what to think, but how to think. 
  Blending the timeless wisdom of thinkers like Dewey and Socrates with modern approaches such as Philosophy for Children, Cooperative Learning, and Problem-Based Learning, this book is a practical and inspiring roadmap for educators, parents, and anyone invested in shaping minds that can reason, reflect, and respond creatively to the challenges of our age. 
  Through engaging language and real-world insights, author Jason Williams invites readers to reimagine education as a transformative journey—one where dialogue replaces dogma, curiosity fuels learning, and critical thinking becomes the compass for navigating uncertainty. 
  Whether you're a teacher, a student, or a leader seeking to spark real change, Mind to Think will equip you with the tools and vision to cultivate minds that not only absorb information but also actively shape a more thoughtful, democratic, and human future. 
  This is not a book about education. It's a call to awaken the mind.

  This concise but comprehensive book lays out specific answers to myriad topical questions about free speech law, and also general explanations of how and why the law distinguishes between protected and punishable speech. 
   
   
   
  The book focuses on modern First Amendment law, explaining the historic factors that propelled its evolution in a more speech-protective direction—in particular, the Civil Rights Movement. It highlights the many cases, involving multiple issues, in which robust speech-protective principles aided advocates of racial justice and other human rights causes. The book also shows how these holdings reflect universal, timeless values, which have been incorporated in many other legal systems, and have inspired countless thinkers and activists alike. 
   
   
   
  Without oversimplifying the complexities of free speech law, the book's lively question-and-answer format summarizes this law in an understandable, interesting, and memorable fashion. It addresses the issues in a logical sequence, presenting facts and eloquent language from landmark Supreme Court opinions. It will be illuminating to a wide range of listeners, from those who know nothing about free speech law, to those who have studied it but seek a well-organized summary of major doctrinal rules, as well as insights into their background, rationales, and interconnections.
