Ross N: The Migrant as Playwright

The Migrant as Playwright

Playback Theatre on the Border Wall

The creator and CEO of ProWritingAid uses the latest science of peak performance and psychology to reveal how, in only four minutes a day, writers can become "creative athletes" and unlock their greatest asset: their mind.The Writer's Mind solves the biggest problem in writing: the unfinished manuscript.Most writers don't struggle because they lack talent, discipline, or ideas. They struggle because of what happens in their minds when they sit down to write. Even motivated, skilled writers find themselves blocked by self-doubt, perfectionism, procrastination, and emotional exhaustion. The creative brain must constantly switch between imagination and focus-often over long periods-and this unique mental demand makes writing feel harder than it needs to be.In The Writer's Mind, Chris Banks draws on neuroscience, positive psychology, cognitive behavioral science, and a decade of first-hand research with millions of writers to reveal a simple truth: mindset-not craft-is the primary factor that determines whether writers finish their work or quietly give up.Introducing writers to how their brains actually work, including the concept of the mind as an 'energy landscape' shaped by habits, beliefs, and emotional patterns, readers learn how common 'writing blocks' form, why their biggest strengths often hide their biggest limitations, and how small, intentional mental practices can rewire creativity, focus, and resilience. These tools help writers quiet their inner critic, escape overthinking, build sustainable focus, and develop a healthier relationship with their creative work.Blending science and storytelling, The Writer's Mind reframes writing from an uphill battle into a sustainable creative practice. It offers writers not inspiration alone, but a clear, compassionate operating manual for consolidation, consistency, and joy.

Optimismus am Abgrund (Arbeitstitel)

A manifesto in lectures about the material conditions and absurdities of being a writer and adjunct professor under capitalism-by turns funny, angry, despairing, and hopeful-from a writer who "has invented a new form" (Annie Ernaux). 
 
 In the spring of 2025, Heroines and Drifts author Kate Zambreno taught a weekly nonfiction "craft" lecture at Columbia University, thinking through the crises of the adjunct loop in the United States and the question of labor and writing in publishing and the university. This project became more absurd, and more urgent, as the Trump administration quickly turned to authoritarianism and the university became complicit with the administration, creating a dystopian and paranoid atmosphere in which students were kidnapped from university housing and student protestors were expelled. How can we study together and create under such conditions? 
 
 The resulting essays are funny, angry, often in despair, and somehow also full of optimism as to the future of writing, even amidst the collapse of the institutions meant to support writers and students. Zambreno engages with texts including Sofia Samatar's Opacities, Fred Moten and Stefano Harney's The Undercommons, Noémi Lefebvre's The Poetics of Work, Heike Geissler's Seasonal Associate, and Samuel Delaney's Times Square Red, Times Square Blue. 
 
 A craft book against a "craft" divorced from political and material realities, Against Nonfiction is for anyone trying to write and make art in impossible times.

Use generative AI at work without producing slop or losing trust Unsloppable: How to Leverage AI Without Outsourcing Your Thinking is a practical guide to using ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini for better business writing and clearer thinking. Learn to create emails, reports, proposals, and presentations that reflect your expertise and earn your readers' trust. Former Google Cloud AI director Valliappa Lakshmanan, PhD, explains why large language models produce generic prose and invented facts--and what you can do about it. Through worked examples and practical checklists, he shows you how to avoid AI slop: content that looks polished but lacks the substance, accuracy, or judgment your readers need. Unsloppable opens with a six-item prompt checklist designed to ensure generated content reflects the writer's own point of view rather than generic output. Subsequent chapters cover tool selection, avoiding common rookie mistakes, owning the narrative across long-form content, curating context, and synthesizing multiple sources. The book concludes with a recommended end-to-end workflow for creating content that balances productivity gains against the risk of AI slop. Readers will also find: <ul> <li>A clear framework for balancing trust and productivity when integrating generative AI into everyday professional communications and deliverables</li> <li>Guidelines for writing better AI prompts using six essential elements: audience, purpose, task, viewpoint, format, and constraints</li> <li>Suggestions on AI tools for your work that enable you to customize AI to your voice by suppling the sources, context, and instructions they need</li> <li>An approach that uses AI as a sparring partner to explore alternatives, challenge assumptions, and develop recommendations you can defend</li> <li>Ways to check facts and citations, spot AI hallucinations, and catch weak reasoning before it reaches your readers</li> <li>A repeatable workflow that matches the effort to the stakes, from routine updates to presentations that shape important decisions</li> </ul> Written for professionals without a technical background--including business leaders, lawyers, policymakers, healthcare professionals, educators, journalists, and consultants--Unsloppable equips anyone who uses generative AI at work with the specific methods needed to produce trustworthy content and avoid the reputational cost of AI slop.

How apprenticeship shaped the English economy Apprenticeship dominated training and skill formation in early modern Europe. Years spent learning from a skilled master were a nearly universal experience for young workers in crafts and trade. In England, when apprenticeship reached its peak, as many as a third of all teenage males would serve and learn as apprentices. In The Market for Skill, Patrick Wallis shows how apprenticeship helped reshape the English economy. Some historians see apprenticeship as a key ingredient in the industrial revolution; others agree with Adam Smith in seeing it as wasteful and conservative. Wallis shows that neither of these perspectives is entirely accurate. He offers a new account of apprenticeship and the market for skill in England, analyzing the records of hundreds of thousands of individual apprentices to tell the story of how apprenticeship worked and how it contributed to the transformation of England. Wallis details the activities of apprentices and masters, the strategies of ambitious parents, the interventions of guilds and the decisions of town officials. He shows how the system of early modern apprenticeship contributed to the growth of cities, the movement of workers from farms to manufacturing and the spread of new technologies and productive knowledge. In this groundbreaking study, Wallis argues that apprenticeship succeeded precisely because it was a flexible institution which allowed apprentices to change their minds and exit contracts early. Apprenticeship provided a vital channel for training that families could trust and that was accessible to most young people, whatever their background.

Ius Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice

This seminal volume provides a rigorous doctrinal analysis of contemporary slavery through the lens of criminal law and legal dogmatics. It addresses the modern paradox of universal prohibition coexisting with thriving exploitation, offering a robust instrument for law interpretation in both domestic and international courts.
The treatise is organized into four sections. Section I establishes conceptual foundations, diagnosing slavery as an organic product of structural vulnerability within the global neoliberal model rather than a historical anomaly. It further provides a profound constitutionalist perspective on human dignity, a concept essential for a comprehensive understanding of slavery.
Section II maps international standards, tracing the evolution of Article 4 of the ECHR and ILO benchmarks. It elucidates the critical shift from legal ownership to the de facto exercise of powers attaching to ownership, maintaining the severity threshold required to distinguish human rights violations from mere labour malpractice.
A cornerstone of the work is the Anti-Slavery Model Legislation (The Guide to Domestic Legislation) in Section III. This template defines and provides penal frameworks for ten stand-alone forms of exploitation, including slavery, servitude, and forced labour. This section also offers comparative analyses of European and South American legal landscapes.
Section IV addresses institutions of heightened criminal relevance, including the non-punishment provision for victims, complexities in global supply chains, and the challenges of “borderless” criminal jurisdiction. It tackles corporate “ubiquity” and “forum shopping,” proposing models to ensure accountability in fragmented productive networks.
By assembling preeminent legal scholars and practitioners, this book transcends sociological description to provide the dogmatic precision required to narrow the space of impunity. It serves as an indispensable resource for understanding how diverse jurisdictions regulate the most heinous affronts to human freedom and legal personality.

A practical guide to writing with AI that puts students' questions, judgment, and learning at the center of the process. Generative AI is changing how people write and how writing is taught. How can students use it thoughtfully while developing their own ideas and abilities? Writing with AI: Literacy in the Digital Age brings the longstanding values of Writing Studies to this question, offering accessible guidance for students and their instructors. The book moves beyond treating AI as a vending machine for finished text. It shows students how to investigate a writing task, ask useful questions, evaluate responses, and revise with a purpose. Throughout, students remain responsible for what they write and for deciding whether, when, and how AI can support their work. A flexible, four-part framework, Question, Assemble, Improve, Deliver (QAID), helps students navigate writing projects, returning to earlier steps as their understanding develops. Designed for classroom use, the book includes explanations, examples, and activities that help students: Develop questions and prompts grounded in purpose, audience, and context Assess AI-generated content for accuracy, relevance, and usefulness Develop and organize ideas while making deliberate choices about revision Consider ethical questions, recognize limitations, and decide when to proceed without AI Prepare writing for readers and explain the role AI played in its development Writing with AI helps students approach an evolving technology with curiosity and critical judgment. Its focus is on the work of writing: asking questions, developing ideas, revising, and taking responsibility for what they share.
