Amanda Golden, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Humanities

With Karen Kukil, a research affiliate in English language and literature at Smith College, Golden co-edited this publication that nearly doubles the content of Sylvia Plath’s first Collected Poems from 1981. Separated into two parts, the book’s first section contains poems Plath composed in the last decade of her life. The second section includes Plath’s poems from her childhood and student years. Throughout, Golden and Kukil dated, corrected, and arranged each poem chronologically, with notes documenting and casting new light on Plath’s evolution as a poet.

Jonathan Ezra Goldman, Ph.D., Professor, Humanities

Goldman’s latest publication paints a portrait of 1920s New York City, uncovering overlooked stories of everyday life, marginalized communities, and cultural upheaval.Through sections intertwining entertainment, politics, art, technology, crime, shopping, food, and recreation, Goldman counters the era’s popular conceptions of ballooning wealth and uproarious celebration, revealing the hidden forces shaping the Jazz Age.

Daniel Grassian, Ph.D., Provost and Executive Vice President

Grassian, the author of five books, discusses in his most recent work specific topics in higher education administration. Through occasional how-to instructions and perspectives drawn from his own career in teaching and administration, the overall focus of the guide is on leadership. Grassian provides a better understanding of college and university administration roles, as well as the practical, political, and ethical issues that those professionals face.
