Your Institutions Mission Is Key to Its Flourishing For church-related colleges and universities, a mission statement is a powerful tool. It communicates what is distinctive about each institution and its relationship to its faith tradition. Yet having a clear and compelling mission statement is not enough. Universities face ongoing challenges in stewarding their missions in a rapidly changing culture.In A Mission Held in Trust, leading administrators and educators from both Protestant and Catholic institutions provide wisdom on mission alignment in higher education. Mission is designed to be held in trust by members of a community and stewarded for the next generation.Contributors shed light on a number of topics to help church-related colleges and universities advance their missions, including: how mission statements serve as organizing rationales for exercising institutional identity; challenges to mission in a post-secular cultural context; issues of law, lobbying, messaging, and finance; the theological, philosophical, and legal characteristics of fiduciary service; and how students, educators, board members, and other stakeholders are formed for service. This book brings together a distinguished roster of higher education leaders from presidents of Notre Dame, Baylor, Biola, Pepperdine, Franciscan, and Samford to senior officials from Wheaton, Villanova, Saint Louis, and the Catholic University of America. Spanning Catholic, evangelical, and ecumenical institutions, their combined experience in leadership, formation, and ministry offers readers practical, hard-won wisdom they can trust.In the midst of uncertainties and change, mission remains a sacred trustinherited from predecessors and passed along to successors. A Mission Held in Trust is a unique ecumenical resource providing wisdom and encouragement for leaders seeking faithfulness in these vital vocations.

A revealing glimpse into the life and times of alt-mangas most intriguing comics auteurTsuge Yoshiharu, one of mangas last living legends, remains an elusive and highly influential character as he moves into the final phase of his career. A Nobody Artist features a number of loosely (and disputably) semiautobiographical vignettes often concerning a young cartoonist trying to make a go of it in the shifting manga market. True to form, Tsuge delivers much more than a straight accounting of a cartoonists life. Lust routinely distracts our young artists while older artists again and again provide a model for what not to do, or more likely, where a cartoonists life will lead you. Fleeting moments of domestic happiness are upset by bouts of self-doubt. As always, Tsuges art is succinct and gloriousa beautiful document of a changing Japan.This penultimate volume in Drawn and Quarterlys complete collection of the legendary manga-kas oeuvre collects richly-detailed and deeply human comics stories originally published between 1981 and 1985. Translated by prolific manga scholar and art historian Ryan Holmberg.

The first in-depth study of American artist Alan Dunn (19001974), whose incisive cartoons mocked twentieth-century architecture and urban environments, expanding the field of architectural criticism.Drawing on his pioneering expertise in the relationship between graphic satire and architecture, Gabriele Neri retraces Alan Dunns path from painter to renowned cartoonist, offering an unconventional perspective on architectural and urban transformationsand on their perception within society.Featuring 200 carefully selected images, including Dunns correspondence, preliminary sketches, unpublished cartoons, watercolors, and rare photographs, this book demonstrates the critical potential of caricature and cartoons for architectural history. It also reveals the complex intersections of architecture with media, publishing, commerce, society, art, and politics.Among the thousands of cartoons and illustrations Dunn created for The New Yorker, Architectural Record, and other periodicals, many addressed key themes such as the evolving skyline of American metropolis; the appearance of controversial buildings; housing models; technological innovations; the relationship between architects, clients, and other figures in the construction industry; the protection of built heritage; and the obsessions, oddities, foibles, and even misdeeds of the architectural world.As Lewis Mumford once wrote of Dunn: Shall I say that he is obviously a better architect than the architects whose fashionable cliches and grim follies he exposes? Or shall I say that his urbane satiric style, deft but merciless, puts him in a class by himself; for this is what has been missing from contemporary criticism in all the arts. All this is true; but it is not enough.

A revolutionary way of seeing bodies and built environment that unites radical politics and trans aesthetics. From a leading author and queer theorist known for reframing many of the most pressing questions about counter-intuitive ways of being.Anarchitecture, a radical aesthetic practice of unmaking the built environment, staged a vigorous confrontation with urban renewal and gentrification projects in the 1970s. In Anarchitecture After Everything, Jack Halberstam identifies a powerful lexicon of transformation within anarchitecture, joining the movements practices of cutting and splitting with the destabilizing power of transness to detonate acts of formal violence in our time.Anarchitecture describes the aesthetic practice of splitting and cutting, dismantling and undoing, unmaking, unbuilding, and ultimately unworlding. The trans body splits bodily coherence, dismantles the gender binary, and unbuilds bodily meaning. In these chapters, Gordon Matta-Clarks cuts, along with Alvin Baltrops 1970s images of collapsing warehouses and Beverly Buchanans post-demolition fragmentary sculptures, return with a vengeance through the contemporary aesthetic gestures of Yve Laris Cohen, Jesse Darling, Nicole Eisenman, Kiyan Williams, Cassils, boychild, and Every Ocean Hughes. Anarchitecture unmakes space and offers a new rhetoric for emptiness. In its conclusion, the book explores this rhetoric through Renee Gladmans anarchitectural experiments with language.By reading anarchitecture through transness and transness through anarchitecture, Halberstam helps us see the trans body as a space of radical unmaking and as a portal to new lexicons for transformation.
