Anthologies

Summoned to Destiny is an anthology of original fantasy stories based on the theme of self-discovery. From that starting point, the stories are as diverse as their authors, ranging from traditional fantasy to shapeshifters, from dragon-haunted cliffs to simple country inns. But all share a love of things wondrous and magic. Discover that power has its price and a destiny involving magic is never quite what you expect. Featuring original fiction by: Marie Brennan, Ed Greenwood, Kevin G. Maclean, Jana Paniccia, M T O'Shaughnessy, Ruth Stuart, Karina Sumner-Smith, and Michelle West. With cover illustration by Kenn Brown and Chris Wren. A Canadian Children's Book Centre Our Choice selection for 2005

Drawing on affect theory and research on academic capitalism, this book examines the contemporary crisis of universities. Moving through 11 international and comparative case studies, it explores diverse features of contemporary academic life, from the coloniality of academic capitalism to performance management and the experience of being performance-managed. Affect has emerged as a major analytical lens of social research. However, it is rarely applied to universities and their marketisation. Offering a unique exploration of the contemporary role of affect in academic labour and the organisation of scholarship, this book considers modes of subjectivation, professional and personal relationships and organisational structures and their affective charges.
