This article examines the shifting fortunes of the Pand-nāma, once the most widely read work attributed to the twelfth-century Persian poet Farīd al-Dīn ʿAṭṭār, in order to challenge prevailing notions of literary center and margin in the study of Islamic literature. While today ʿAṭṭār is mainly celebrated as the author of The Conference of the Birds, a mystical allegory of a spiritual quest, the early modern Islamicate world had a different ʿAṭṭ…
Intercultural Professional Development for Educators
To examine the interaction between educators’ intercultural development and students’ intercultural growth, we studied the impact of CIEE’s Intercultural Communication and Leadership (ICL) course. Our results indicate that Educator, Country, Gender, and Field had impacts on students’ intercultural gains (Gibson et al., 2023); the focus of this article is solely on educators’ perceptions of the factors that shape their ability to foster student in…
Finding the Qur’an in Imitation
Certain formulations of Islamic theology place considerable weight on the doctrine of iʿjāz al-Qur’ān : the miraculous impossibility of imitating the Qur’an. The prevalence of iʿjāz al-Qur’ān doctrines, however, has not prevented many Muslims and non-Muslims from interpreting iʿjāz al-Qur’ān less as a concluded statement of mimetic impossibility and more as a dare to engage the Qur’an in ways that elude conventional academic habits of classifying…

Guided disorientation for transformative study abroad
This study examines what factors contribute to intercultural learning during the study abroad experience, drawing on Mezirow’s theory of transformative learning and data from the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI). Using data from 1,858 US students studying abroad in 27 countries over 6 years (2014–2020), this study constitutes the largest of its kind to date. Additionally, a powerful matching method is used to compare a sample of students…
Tlaxcalans in Post-conquest Guatemala
The Department of Hybrid Books
It is now a commonplace that texts were malleable in early modern England regardless of their manuscript or print origins; but the publications of Thomas Milles strain these categories—and the vocabularies used to describe them—to the breaking point. Between 1599 and 1617, Milles published more than a dozen books outlining his schemes for fiscal reform, becoming one of Renaissance England's most prolific writers on economics. But virtually every …
Using feminist phase theory to portray women in the principalship across generations in the USA
The literature provides insufficient data on women’s experiences of the principalship across generations in the USA and thus provides little understanding as to how the writing of women into the history of educational leadership has changed or maintained the social order. Research that addresses biases experienced by women who wish to advance in educational leadership frame this study, together with Joan Scott’s groundbreaking article ‘Gender: A …
Women secondary school principals
Women, in general, are underrepresented at the secondary leadership level. Numbers of women in leadership become dismal when considering both gender and ethnicity. The lack of women’s voice in the literature on educational leadership, particularly those of minority women, grounded this qualitative research project that collected personal narratives of lived experience. The intent for this project was to illuminate differences and commonalities of…

again. Van Gogh transfixes us with the mad eyes that painted themselves. When artists portray themselves in the chief medium of their art, we are immediately alert. Undoubtedly many readers have recognized this poem as a self-portrait. William R. Sherwood in a one-sentence comment assumes that Emily is speaking of herself.1o David T. Porter is the only critic to give the poem some of its due, and he does it most gracefully and deftly, with full r…
