    Disability in Higher Education: Investigating Identity, Stigma and Disclosure Amongst Disabled Academics
    Pattern languages of program design. Volume 4
    Organizational Patterns of Agile Software Development
    • For courses in Advanced Software Engineering or Object-Oriented Design. This book covers the human and organizational dimension of the software improvement process and software project management – whether based on the CMM or ISO 9000 or the Rational Unified Process. Drawn from a decade of research, it emphasizes common-sense practices. Its principles are general but concrete; every pattern is its own built-in example. Historical supporting material from other disciplines is provided. Though even pattern experts will appreciate the depth and currency of the material, it is self-contained and well-suited for the layperson.

      Organizational Patterns of Agile Software Development
    • Higher Education presents significant challenges for disabled faculty. This book highlights the structural barriers that create challenges for faculty and demonstates ways in which we can improve on current practice. Staff face a competitive environment which is increasingly characterised by long working hours and the use of standardised metrics to monitor and evaluate performance. The author underlines this issue as well as covering a range of subjects including the stigma associated with disability, workplace discrimination, the decision to disclose a disability, and access to workplace accommodations.
