"In A Light in the Tower, Pryal’s discussion of the darkness of mental distress is riveting. The recommendations for teaching are very helpful, and I’ll be using them in my courses. I really appreciated the chapter on public writing as well. Public writing is an important outlet for faculty to apply their knowledge to the wider community, but many don’t know how to go about doing this. Thank you for this honest, practical, and reflective book.""—Teresa Heinz Housel, editor of Mental Health among Higher Education Faculty, Administrators, and Graduate Students""A Light in the Tower brilliantly confronts the stigma against mental disability that haunts academia. With engaging prose, Pryal gives the academic community tools to deal with mental health crises and to build a more inclusive, healthier environment in academia for all people—students and faculty—living with mental disability and experiencing mental distress. An essential, game-changing book.""—Elizabeth Donaldson, editor of Literatures of Madness: Disability Studies and Mental Healthand series editor of Literary Disability Studies"
