Reason, Revelation, and the Civic Order
While the dominant approaches to the current study of political philosophy are various, with some friendlier to religious belief than others, almost all place constraints on the philosophic and political role of revelation. Mainstream secular political theorists do not entirely disregard religion. But to the extent that they pay attention, their treatment of religious belief is seen more as a political or philosophic problem to be addressed rather than as a positive body of thought from which we might derive important insights about the nature of politics and the truth of the human condition. In a one-of-a-kind collection, DeHart and Holloway bring together leading scholars from various fields, including political science, philosophy, and theology, to challenge the prevailing orthodoxy and to demonstrate the role that religion can and does play in political life. Contributing authors include such important thinkers as Peter Augustine Lawler, Robert C. Koons, J. Budziszewski, Francis

Other Voices in Soviet History
Other Voices in Soviet History identifies Soviet historian Lynne Viola’s critical methodological and thematic interventions in the study of Soviet history and builds on them through a selection of new research trajectories inspired by her thinking. The collection’s essays are oriented around three overlapping themes: listening to subaltern voices, challenging a rigid victim-perpetrator binary, and contesting dominant narratives. By looking beyond central archives, official collections, and traditional sources, the contributors convey peripheral and subaltern voices and uncover how state narratives overlaid, existed alongside, or ignored altogether voices from the many crevices of empire. Other Voices in Soviet History decentres Soviet history by examining how colonial mindsets, war, agency, identity, the proximity of various borders, and transnational interactions shaped political, social, and cultural dynamics in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Building Critical Literacy and Empathy with Graphic Novels
Beginning with the assertion that educators can effectively use comics and graphic novels to develop readers' critical literacy and empathy, DeHart explores the use of graphic novels across grade levels in a wide range of topics and themes.

The book features recommended titles, insights from graphic novel authors and creators, and lesson ideas. Topics include: - Anti-Bias and Anti-Bullying - Autobiographical and Biographical Stories - Gender Representation - Diverse Abilities - Black Joy, Black Lives Matter, and Antiracist Pedagogy - Stories of (Im)migration and Removal - Indigenous Peoples/First Nations Stories - Mental Health and Grief
