Evaluate your credentials to assess whether skills Are useful in the workplace, valuable to students
CHICAGO — Can students actually demonstrate the skills they learn from your programs in a way that will better their life outcomes? And do employers understand the competencies students gain when they graduate from your institution? It's a question on the minds of many who work in higher education, and it has an impact for your institution in terms of showing students the value of their degree.
Here We Are. Again.
Call me naïve—and you probably should—but I really thought that this issue of Women in Higher Education would be celebrating the election of the first woman (and a Black and Asian American woman!) to the office of the President of the United States. Right up until about eight p.m. Pacific time on Nov. 5, 2024, I still believed that would be the result. We now know that won’t be the case. Instead of swearing in Kamala Harris, we will have four more years of Donald J. Trump as President of the country.
New Podcast Features Lives, Lessons of Women in History
Learning from and preserving the history of women internationally is work we can all benefit from—but too often, a great many stories go unrecorded and wind up lost. A new podcast, “Kickass Women of History,” is looking to change that.
The Hurricane Blonde
Over the course of the last seven years, Georgia Hardstark and Karen Kilgariff have made a name — and a massive career — for themselves through ingenuity, hard work, humor, and their commitment to a topic that seems to have an insatiable fanbase: murder.

Off The Deep End: Noir Cinema’s Eternal Fascination with Swimming Pools
You could call it Chekhov’s swimming pool: catch sight of a pristine , turquoise pool in the first act of a noir or crime film, and you’re likely to find a corpse floating in it by the third. Article continues after advertisement Noir has long had a special relationship to water. As Chinatown makes abundantly clear, whoever controls the water supply controls a city. But unlike the free-flowing ocean or even the trickle of the Los Angeles river, pools are stagnant, claustrophobic.
The best female-driven noir novels
One of Megan Abbott’s early gems, this book dragged me down into the muck of midcentury noir, and I LOVED IT. When I was first diving into the genre of noir, I was aching for more female representation (besides the evil femme fatale or the Girl Friday you see pop up in so much of the classic noir literature). This book feels both modern and like a throwback, with women in the driver’s seat for once.

5 Tips for Using Genre Tropes to Generate New Work
It is a truth (and cliché) universally acknowledged that the blank page is the most intimidating thing to a writer in search of a draft. It’s far easier to edit even bad first drafts—even first drafts so terrible you’re pretty sure it’s way beyond the pale of other writers’ bad first drafts—than it is to generate a story out of thin air. When writing my second book, The Hurricane Blonde, I could not get myself to get words on the page in the way I was used to.

Low-income students are more likely to earn, and benefit from, stackable credentials, or “a series of postsecondary credentials that can be earned over time and that build on each other to prepare individuals for different needs for knowledge and skills throughout a career,” than their peers, according to a new report from the RAND Corporation, a nonpartisan policy think tank, and researchers from the University of Michigan.

“Brightness, Darkness, and Everything In-Between”: A Conversation with Barbara DeMarco-Barrett
AUGUST 8, 2021 CONJURE UP IMAGES of Palm Springs and you’ll probably think of pastel-colored pool floaties, midcentury chic architecture, a gigantic Marilyn Monroe that watches over the city like its guardian angel.

Gimlets, Bukowski & Day Drinking Missing Los Angeles’s Dive Bars Original
Los Angeles is a city built on contradictions. While it’s famous for its international stars, miles of beaches and devotion to over-the-top opulence, it also boasts an equally impressive network of gritty dive bars. These are not the places where you’ll find the glitterati or the Insta-fluencers—the parade of people trying hard to look like they’ve never tried hard in their lives. No craft cocktails or sleek decor here; no scene, no dress code.
Review: The Freedom Circus by Sue Smethurst

5 Femmes Fatale Who Inspired The Lady Upstairs
by Halley Sutton | Nov 27, 2020 | Features, Five Things When I was writing my feminist noir debut novel, The Lady Upstairs, I turned to other noir novels (and films!) for inspiration on crafting a character that I wanted to be both a throwback to the genre I love and also, her own creation.
