Shailor, Jonathan – Research in Drama Education, 2021
I began my life as a prison theatre artist 25 years ago. Over the years, through first-hand experience with prisoners, their families, and others, I came to understand some of the more oppressive elements of the state prison system, and the relation of that system to the larger prison-industrial complex. This essay is a reflection on the key…

Fischer, Gerhard – Modern Language Journal, 2013
In this article the author asserts that learning is about personal growth and enrichment, and at its core it is not about career determinations.

Daniel, Jamie Owen – Academe, 2011
Like thousands of other people from around the country and around the world, this author was heartened and inspired by the tenacity, immediacy, and creativity of the pushback by Wisconsin's public-sector unions against Governor Scott Walker's efforts to limit their collective bargaining rights. And like many others who made the trek to Madison to…

Hess, Mary – Religious Education, 2010
One of the author's most vivid and early memories of "learning about religion" comes from when she was in seventh grade, and her math teacher scolded her and her friend for arguing about religion in the back of the room. Both of them were deeply steeped in family religious practice, and new to each other's traditions. That experience was…

Daniel, Jamie Owen – Academe, 2010
