Borders, Margins, and
Passages- NEAA Bulletin Series
2011
Covering a range of geographical areas and topical foci, the
pieces in this collection represent a critical rethinking of
globalized spaces in relation to recent retheorizations of the
operations of culture and formations of place. How can these new
theoretical approaches help anthropology to better frame the
complex structures and spaces, created by human activity, that defy
the sometimes-pat explanations provided by rigid conceptions of
culture and modernist conceptions of space? The selections in this
volume utilize the techniques of ethnographic inquiry to better
contemplate the possibilities and limitations of these new
approaches to culture, space, and change within the context of
lived human experience. |

Poetry at St. John’s University (2001-2011)
2012
“This anthology is a compilation of some of the best poems written
by our (St. John’s University) students and alumni alike, as well
as by guest poets during the past ten years. It stands out as our
new venture in poetry written in Spanish, but with an added
attraction: its counterpart rendered in English. We considered that
there is no better way to celebrate poetry written in Spanish on
our Campus, than to present during the month of April, dedicated to
poets and poetry, this bilingual anthology. The book will be
presented again this fall during Hispanic Heritage Month as a way
of promoting the talent of our students and placing St. John's in
the forefront of Hispanic culture.”

The Everyday Writing
Center: A Community of Practice
2008 “What impresses me most about their argument is not that
writing centers need to stop being so rigid and time-bound and
apolitical, but that writing centers occupy a unique space in the
academy that might encourage authentic communities of learners,
writers, peer tutors, faculty and staff. The Everyday Writing
Center provides a way to think about this ambition.”

St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and

Extraterrestrials? A Catholic Perspective
2006
There is a growing trend in the science and religion
community to make Christian belief and belief in ETIs (intelligent
extraterrestrials) an either/or proposition. Typical claims are
that such beings could have no meaningful relationship to Christ
and their appearance would prove that humans do not have the
special place in the universe that the Bible assigns us. This book
defends the position that Christian belief and belief in ETIs are
not mutually exclusive. However, it goes on to argue that there is
a real tension between the two beliefs, and that Christian belief
does render ETI existence improbable. |

 | | Stewardship of Creation
2010
Many people have inaccurate ideas of what the Roman Catholic
Church teaches about how we are to treat the environment, and few
know how extensive the Church’s teaching on the environment is. The
purpose of my book is to lay out the Church’s environmental ethic,
showing how it is rooted in her theology of creation. The Church’s
insistent teaching regarding our need to make lifestyle changes and
to practice the virtues in our treatment of the earth constitutes
one of the book’s main themes. |

What Therapists Don't Talk
About and Why: Understanding Taboos That Hurt Us and Our
Clients
2006
This book was created to help therapists and therapists-in
training explore the myths and taboo topics that weaken their
practice and cause anxiety, discomfort and confusion. The book
discusses the damaging myths that therapists hold about themselves
that sustain the taboo topics. By offering questions for
self-assessment and a series of “explorations” that can be used to
examine taboo topics individually or in groups, the book provides
resources for recognizing the myths, challenging the taboos and
speaking honestly and directly with patients; and others about
topics that have been off-limits. |
