Leaps of Faith
As discourses and programming to support diversity and inclusion across higher education are intensifying, Leaps of Faith: Stories from Working-Class Academics presents a collection of narratives that highlights the “on-the-ground” experiences of working-class students and scholars. These are stories of negotiation, transition, and challenge. These are stories of struggle. These are stories of beating the odds.The early works of Ryan and Sackrey (1984), Sennett and Cobb (1993), and Dews and Law (1996) raised the voices of working class academics, and the subject of class in higher education has gained traction—especially with the increasing focus on the enrollment and persistence of first-generation college students. This project situates contributor stories in adult learning and development, with the goal of enhancing dialogue and increasing understanding of a still-hidden population in the academy. Leaps of Faith: Stories from Working-Class Academics is a compelling collection of reflections from working-class students and scholars from diverse demographic and geographic backgrounds who are currently navigating various transition points and career stages.Leaps of Faith: Stories from Working-Class Academics presents the strengths and gifts of the scholar-contributors and the opportunity to “turn the stories” through accessible and meaningful reflective “telling.” The collection concludes with a discussion of salient implications for working-class students and scholars, those who support their learning and development, and higher education institutions and programs.

Scheduling Variable Capacity Resources for Sustainability
This book is the first to provide an overview of variable capacity scheduling and how it helps balance the growth of computing with its growing environmental impact by creating more resilient and efficient systems that adapt to the dynamic nature of resource availability, optimizing utilization and minimizing disruptions.The book covers all aspects of variable capacity scheduling from a technical and a societal perspective. It considers the new age of renewable power generation and how computing services can contribute to sustainability and grid decarbonization. Contributors investigate techniques that can be deployed for schedulers to cope with, or even benefit from, changes in the number of computing resources and the nature of the power sources. They survey emerging computing devices, such as edge servers, as alternatives to classical cloud computing platforms; identify applications for monitoring energy and regulating power; and investigate energy minimization and risk-aware scheduling in real-time systems, asking: ‘How can a server with a variable processing speed schedule jobs with hard deadlines while minimizing its energy consumption?’ The authors address the societal impact of computing, exploring how the social sciences play a critical role in solving the computing sustainability challenge and including a holistic analysis of current and future approaches, taking the whole life-cycle and rebound effects into account.Presenting all the corresponding challenges and opportunities of variable capacity scheduling, this is an excellent introduction to the topic for students, researchers, computing scientists, or concerned citizens interested in sustainability.
