BOOKS

Talking Justice. I have completed most (3/5) of the written work of this manuscript. Currently I am in search of publishers.

Crime and Justice in the Mediated Society. I have received a request to write a book on the relationship of crime and media. I have constructed a book proposal and have earned the approval of the book series editor. Currently I am constructing a prospectus to earn the publisher's approval.

The Critical Stance: A Manual for Teachers and Learners. This monograph is based on the extensive critical teaching and learning technology I have developed, used in my teaching, and delivered in faculty development workshops at various universities and colleges in the U.S. A first draft of two thirds of this manuscript is complete. I am currently imagining, researching and writing the latter third of this text.
