Book SynopsisConsiders the role gender played in the production, use and preservation of documents.How was the world of medieval documentation and memory creation affected by gender? This question is central to the essays collected here, which bring together aspects of gender and documentary culture that are usually studied only in isolation. Covering the tenth to the thirteenth centuries, the volume offers a broad geographical reach - England, France, Flanders, Germany, Spain - and an array of sources, from charters, letters and court proceedings to seals, iconography, and illumination. There is a particular focus on lay female communities, including women's collective legal action in pre-Conquest England, documentary initiatives of Castilian peasant widows, and urban Flemish women's sealing practices. Re-examinations of noblewomen's centrality - and erasure - in charters focus on Ermengarde of Brittany, Mathilda of Boulogne and Berengaria of Navarre. Contributions on gender and historical writing explore their development in Ottonian courts, tenth-century English coronation portraits, Orderic Vitalis' Historia Ecclesiastica, and French chroniclers' rhetorical strategies for writing noblewomen's rage. Further chapters consider monastic spaces, including women's houses at Auxerre and Marcigny and at Holy Trinity, Caen, and explore women's memory preservation efforts, at Spanish houses - San Salvador de Oña and Santa María de Piasca - and a community at Bouxières. This volume demonstrates the new insights that can be gleaned by viewing various processes, such as legal disputes and monastic narratives and foundation, through a gendered lens.

Book SynopsisThis comprehensive Handbook showcases the burgeoning and cutting edge research that has come to constitute the study of gender and International Political Economy (IPE). It surveys the diversity of contemporary feminist IPE research, exploring a range of different theoretical and methodological traditions and reviewing the broad empirical scope of this research. The Handbook also critically interrogates the intersections and points of tension between the different disciplines that have inspired contemporary approaches.Expert contributors offer insights into how to the categories of ?masculine? and ?feminine? have been established and maintained globally, while also documenting and challenging the privileging of the former over the latter in different sites and spaces. They further show how gender power relations are shaped by race, nationality, sexuality, class, and more. The Handbook explores and demonstrates how gender operates as a relation of social power in the global political economy. The Handbook on the International Political Economy of Gender will appeal to undergraduate and post-graduate students of politics and international relations, security studies, development studies, economics, and gender and queer studies, as well as policymakers and practitioners interested in issues of global (in)equality and development.Trade ReviewIn their Handbook of the International Political Economy of Gender, Juanita Elias and Adrienne Roberts offer a collection that not only provides an overview of the "state of the art" in ongoing IPE gender studies debates, but also highlights avenues for theoretical advance and future research. In addition to offering incisive critiques of conventional IPE approaches, this collection highlights the diversity of Feminist IPE perspectives themselves, across disciplinary, theoretical and subfield divides - and so stands to advance gendered IPE analyses specifically, and IPE debates more generally across, our entire field.'--Wesley W. Widmaier, Griffith University, Australia'Elias and Roberts have pulled off quite a feat: they have made a Handbook exciting. This collection is packed with up-to-the-minute feminist international political economy findings. Each contributor knows the current debates and why every one of these (often fierce) debates matters.'--Cynthia Enloe, author of The Big Push: Exposing and Challenging Persistent Patriarchy'An indispensable reference for understanding the breadth, depth, sophistication, and political robustness of feminist international political economy today by leading scholars in the field. From the political economies of migration, sex and domestic work, industrial labor, incarceration, and privatized security to global governance, globalization, and development and their effects on social reproduction and everyday life, this compendium shows how critical feminist perspectives are to resisting the violences of the contemporary international political economy.'--Anne Sisson Runyan, University of Cincinnati, US'This rich collection provides ample evidence that the interdisciplinary field of feminist International Political Economy has come into its own. It showcases the diversity of theoretical influences, methods of analysis, political engagements, and topic areas that make up the field. It also highlights the strength of the feminist revision of IPE for challenging contemporary issues and inequities. Building on the most recent feminist research, this engaging and thought-provoking Handbook is of great value to scholars, students and practitioners alike.'--Suzanne Bergeron, University of Michigan Dearborn, USTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: Situating Gender Scholarship in IPE Juanita Elias and Adrienne Roberts Part I Theories and Approaches 1.

Book SynopsisThe idea that constitutions are gendered is not new, but its recognition is the product of a revolution in thinking that began in the last decades of the twentieth century. As a field, it is attracting scholarly attention and influencing practice around the world. This timely Handbook features contributions from leading pioneers and younger scholars, applying a gendered lens to constitution-making and design, constitutional practice and citizenship, and constitutional challenges to gender equality rights and values. Offering cutting-edge perspective on the constitutional text and record of multiple jurisdictions, from long-established to newly emerging democracies, Constitutions and Gender portrays a profound shift in our understanding of what constitutions stand for and what they do. Its central insight is that democratic constitutions must serve the needs and aspirations of all the people, and constitutional legitimacy requires opportunities for participation in both the fashioning and functioning of a country's constitution. This challenging assessment is of relevance to scholars and practitioners of law and politics, and gender and feminism as well as practitioners and advisers involved in constitution-making.Contributors include: C.

Storberg-Walker, C. van Esch, J. Williams, M.S. WilsonTrade Review'Susan Madsen, the editor of this volume, is on the cutting edge of all recent scholarly work on gender and leadership. No surprise, then, that this edited collection of original essays is a must-read - no, a must-own - for anyone with an enduring interest in the subjects of women and power, women and authority, and women and influence. The book has twenty-seven different chapters, which means it roams far and wide, though not at the expense of depth. These are highly accomplished essays by highly accomplished contributors, which is precisely why the book is indispensable. Indispensable especially now, when questions that we thought, perhaps foolishly, were almost settled, palpably are not. Why in the second decade of the twenty-first century are so many men still at the top? Why in the second decade of the twenty-first century are so few women in leadership roles? Why some forty years after the inception of the leadership industry do answers to questions about gender and power remain still so elusive?' --Barbara Kellerman, Harvard Kennedy School, US'Anyone seeking to help women leaders develop their skills and capabilities to the fullest will benefit enormously from this book.

Book SynopsisThere is growing interest in the relationship between gender and entrepreneurial activity. In this book, 37 eminent scholars from diverse academic disciplines contribute cutting-edge research that addresses, from a gender perspective, three general areas of importance: key characteristics of entrepreneurs, key performance attributes of entrepreneurial firms, and the role of financial capital in the establishment and growth of entrepreneurial firms. Each chapter focuses on original, burgeoning themes related to gender and entrepreneurship, with forward-looking research that highlights key findings. For example, some authors show how the so-called 'gender divide' in patenting is greater than in publishing for academic entrepreneurs. Others explore the corruption in business practices, which is less for women entrepreneurs than their male counterparts, and explain why gender diversity is higher in equity crowdfunding than in other entrepreneurial finance markets. The book takes a global approach, offering examples of entrepreneurs from around the world. Scholars and students interested in entrepreneurship and the role of gender in business will find this volume informative and eye opening.Contributors include: D.B. Audretsch, D. Benaroio, O.

Book SynopsisIt is common for European couples living fairly egalitarian lives to adopt a traditional division of labour at the transition to parenthood. Based on in-depth interviews with 332 parents-to-be in eight European countries, this book explores the implications of family policies and gender culture from the perspective of couples who are expecting their first child. Couples' Transitions to Parenthood: Analysing Gender and Work in Europe is the first comparative, qualitative study that explicitly locates couples' parenting ideals and plans in the wider context of national institutions.This unique analysis of transitions to parenthood in contemporary Europe focuses on Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, the Czech Republic and Poland. It explores how parents' agency varies along with policy-culture gaps in their countries and provides evidence of their struggle to adapt to, or resist, socially desired paths and patterns of change. In fact, the ways in which institutional structures limit possible choices and beliefs about motherhood and fatherhood are linked in ways that often go unnoticed by social scientists, policy makers and parents themselves.This cutting-edge book will be of interest to social scientists, political scientists, journalists and policy-makers. Parents-to-be will also find value in this analysis of gender in parenthood.Contributors include: P. Abril, J. Alsarve, P. Amigot, S. Bertolini, C. Botía-Morillas, K. Boye, F. Bühlmann, A.

VerweijTrade Review'The birth of a first child is a major event for modern, employed couples. Babies need so much and couples must find ways to divide childcare and yet protect the time each needs for their careers and their own relationships. European couples confront these challenges in very different ways, depending on the extent of job-protected family leave and the quality, availability and affordability of childcare. And of course there is always the gender dimension, which seems to favour mothers over fathers in some countries more than others. These in-depth interview studies of couples experiencing new parenthood in eight countries provide engaging and dramatic views of how much can differ (or be taken for granted).' --Frances Goldscheider, Brown University'How do couples about to have a child think about gender, work and family? What do they expect from their employers, the state and each other? This cross-national research team has created something absolutely unique-a study that uses rich qualitative data gathered from interviewing over 150 couples across eight European societies. Their approach allows the authors to delve into the interplay between constraints set by governments' and employers' policies, gender ideologies and the concrete plans that couples envision.' --Paula England, New York UniversityTable of ContentsContents: Preface PART I Conceptual framework, comparative overview and methodology 1.

Book SynopsisAfter two decades of feminist challenges to mainstream theorising, gender has become a central element of social policy and the welfare state. A new literature has widened the focus of social policy from state and economy to a three-sided discourse encompassing the state, the market and the family. The Handbook on Gender and Social Policy provides a comprehensive introduction to this field with up-to-date accounts of debates and innovative original research by leading international authors.The Handbook covers the key areas of social policy that relate to the inequalities between men and women in the developed and developing world. It presents original research on contemporary issues at national and transnational levels across the central policy terrain of income, employment, care and family policy, including family policy models, same-sex marriage and child protection. It features chapters on key perspectives on gender and policy and six original studies of the state of play in different regions of the world.The Handbook on Gender and Social Policy is an excellent resource for advanced students and postgraduate students of sociology, political science, women?s studies, policy studies and related areas. It will also be of interest for practitioners and scholars of social policy seeking up-to-date coverage of how gender affects the contours of social policy and politics.Contributors include: E.

The authors, a mix of leading scholars and emerging researchers, offer incisive and well-written analyses of classic and cutting-edge topics. Feminist theory and analysis come alive in their investigations of freedom, equality and the welfare state, care, intersectionality, transnational policy influences, the transformations of family policy, and more, across the globe. The Handbook is an excellent text for advanced undergraduate and graduate social policy courses, and an outstanding reference work for established analysts.' --Ann Shola Orloff, Northwestern University, US'Bringing together some of the most renowned scholars in the field, this Handbook provides a multi-dimensional lens for understanding the developments and challenges posed by heterogeneity across regions, gender diversities and growing social inequalities for conceptualizing gender and social policy and the potential for making change. It engages with conceptual terrains that have transformed gender and social policy research: intersectionality and multiple inequalities, men and masculinities, and transnationalisms. The prodigious scope and breadth of this volume encompasses the Global North and South and transnational institutions and actors in an array of rich empirical chapters, both comparative and in-depth case studies, addressing themes from various theoretical perspectives, including employment, care, family, poverty, prostitution policies and LGBT rights.' --Barbara Hobson, Institute for Advanced Study, Germany'This is a sparkling and absorbing collection.

Book SynopsisEntangled Otherness explores the dynamics of cross-dressing and gender performance in contemporary francophone Caribbean cultures through a range of visual and textual media. Original in its comparative focus on the islands of Haiti, Martinique, Guadeloupe and their diasporic communities in France, this study reveals how opaque strategies of crossing, mimicry and masquerade have enabled resistance to the racialised, gendered and patriarchal classifications of bodies that characterized Enlightenment thought during the French transatlantic slave trade. It engages with archival texts of pre-revolutionary Haiti to offer a historical understanding of current constructions of Caribbean gender most influenced by French colonial legacies. The author argues that cross-dressing, as a form of ‘self-fabrication’, complicates inherently entangled colonial binaries of identity and resists France’s paternalistic gaze. The book’s multidisciplinary approach to gender analysis weaves a dialogue between cross-cultural voices garnered from textual and historical analysis, ethnographic interviews and theoretical insight to foreground the continued need to decolonize Eurocentric readings of gender identity in the francophone and creolophone islands, and the Caribbean region more generally. Works of art, film, photography, carnival, performance, and dress, including depictions of fluid identities in the binary-resistant Afro-Creole religion of Vodou, are examined using contemporary performance, gender and social theory from within the region. Entangled Otherness thus makes a unique and timely contribution to the growing body of knowledge and debate in the areas of gender, sexuality and the body in Caribbean Studies.Trade Review'[Entangled Otherness] conducts a courageous inquiry into “gender” in Guadeloupe, Haiti, and Martinique [...] With such seemingly divergent disciplinary agendas, the book’s extreme originality is to contextualize analyses of gendered identities, using oral history, discourse analysis, and ethnography to better shape the contours of decolonializing a misrepresentation of gender dynamics in the Caribbean islands that have been, at least explicitly, the most influenced by French colonial legacies.'Alessandra Benedicty-Kokken, CUNY'Charlotte Hammond’s groundbreaking interdisciplinary research has produced a monumental book on mimicry and masquerade.'Rachel Douglas, University of GlasgowReviews 'Hammond weaves (if I might permit myself such a metaphor) an elaborate web of connections that create a network, indeed a mapping, of the various intersectionalities under consideration. Rather than overworking a wordplay that might seem to lack a correspondingly rich conceptual content, this semantic wealth instead matches the intricacy of the book’s readings and theorizations.'

Book SynopsisExploring gender as a fundamental factor in the way that lives of individuals, families and societies across Asia are organized, this timely Handbook studies the importance of modernization and globalization for understanding gender in Asia. It brings together a wide range of scholarly perspectives on five critical areas in the field: ageing and health; labour; migrations and mobilities; gender at the margins, and the theory and practice of researching in Asia. Identifying gaps in current research, and using both qualitative and quantitative methods to explore the topic, this volume demonstrates the difference a gendered perspective makes in providing a better understanding of these issues in Asia. Using empirical case studies, contributors highlight the challenges and changes to cultured traditions and practices that surround gendered norms surrounding the societal roles of men and women in Asia. The volume offers fresh, nuanced insights to socio-political currents in Asian countries. This far-reaching collection will be an essential read for scholars in the social sciences interested in gender issues in Asia, human geography, sociology, anthropology, development studies, gender politics; and for NGOs and policy-makers.

ZuberecTrade Review'The Handbook is a great text for those studying gender in Asia, whether at graduate or undergraduate level. It is also a valuable introduction for graduate and undergraduate students in geography, sociology, anthropology, and global studies, and for policy-makers and women's rights practitioners who are interested in learning about gendered social life in Asia and the current gender scholarship on Asia.' -- Chien-Juh Gu, Gender & Development'The strengths of the Handbook lie in its focus on gendered patterns of inter-Asia migration experienced by women from across different socioeconomic groups as represented by several compelling contributions.' -- Alicia Izharuddin, South East Asia Research'Handbook on Gender in Asia provides a nuanced understanding of gender in multiple Asian contexts. Content covers the global politics and privilege of research and publishing and the emerging issue of population ageing, health and elder care.

Book SynopsisThis insightful Handbook offers a comprehensive exploration of the third generation of gender and federalism studies. Contributors explore the intersection of federalism and decolonization in global south countries, dissecting transitions between authoritarian regimes and democratic governance and mapping new issues in Western federations, such as LGBTQ rights and separatism. Key chapters examine critical policy issues in federations, drawing on a range of disciplines to offer fresh insights into how federal practices, institutions and discourses interact with gender and other diversities including 'race', religion and sexual minorities. In this timely and authoritative examination, feminist scholars in both the West and the global south debate the impact of state architectures on women's movements, partisan organizations and policy advocacy using innovative discursive, institutional, quantitative and intersectional approaches. This Handbook will be of interest to researchers and students of gender and federalism studies; feminist political scientists; traditional federalism scholars; feminist researchers in gender-focused social science fields; mainstream and feminist policy analysts and practitioners; and comparative politics scholars.

It investigates new questions and new federations. However, its main contribution is to show not only the distributive consequences that federal institutions have on gender policies and relations but also the mechanisms that make this impact possible.' --Catalina Smulovitz, Torcuato di Tella University, Argentina'This Handbook is at the cutting edge of feminist political science, interrogating the complex interaction between federalism and gender in novel ways. The Handbook pushes the field of gender and federalism in two exciting new directions: first, it expands the field to take account not only of gender but also other identities that are territorially organised. Second, it moves the analysis further than the 'usual' western liberal cases to explore how federalism and federalization operates in the global south including Latin America, Asia and Africa. Importantly, it pays close attention to colonial/decolonial dynamics within multi-level states, to help us understand how gender and other identities are shaped by state architecture. It's a breakthrough book that will undoubtedly reshape the field.' --Louise Chappell, University of New South Wales, AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: Foreword xv Carol Weissert Preface xvii Jill Vickers 1 Introduction to Handbook on Gender, Diversity and Federalism 1 Jill Vickers, Joan Grace and Cheryl N.

Storberg-Walker, C. van Esch, J. Williams, M.S. WilsonTrade Review'Susan Madsen, the editor of this volume, is on the cutting edge of all recent scholarly work on gender and leadership. No surprise, then, that this edited collection of original essays is a must-read - no, a must-own - for anyone with an enduring interest in the subjects of women and power, women and authority, and women and influence. The book has twenty-seven different chapters, which means it roams far and wide, though not at the expense of depth. These are highly accomplished essays by highly accomplished contributors, which is precisely why the book is indispensable. Indispensable especially now, when questions that we thought, perhaps foolishly, were almost settled, palpably are not. Why in the second decade of the twenty-first century are so many men still at the top? Why in the second decade of the twenty-first century are so few women in leadership roles? Why some forty years after the inception of the leadership industry do answers to questions about gender and power remain still so elusive?' --Barbara Kellerman, Harvard Kennedy School, US'Anyone seeking to help women leaders develop their skills and capabilities to the fullest will benefit enormously from this book. By gathering the best current research on women's leadership and organizing it as a Handbook, Susan Madsen has done women - and the world - a great service.' --Sally Helgesen, author of The Female Vision, The Female Advantage and The Web of InclusionTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: Susan R.

Book SynopsisThis innovative and thought-provoking Research Handbook explores the theoretical debate surrounding work-life balance, and provides a reflection on the opportunity to adopt multilevel research approaches and perspectives, along gender and temporal axes. The Research Handbook is an international overview of current research on work-life balance, considered in macro, meso and micro perspectives. Offering both theoretical reflections and empirical research examples illustrating the multiple strategies through which the different articulations that characterize the work-life intersection can be analysed, this Research Handbook includes analyses of gendered labour, generational assets and technological changes. Contributors provide translation and actualization of specific research practices and methodological choices, focused on different national contexts. The empirical analysis ranges from comparative research based on quantitative methods, to qualitative approaches centered on longitudinal, discursive and narrative perspectives, and mixed-method studies. Further contributions adopt innovative research methods based on the use of digital and visual technologies. This Research Handbook will be an inspiring read for both undergraduate and postgraduate sociology and social policy students. The book is also addressed to researchers, consultants and policy makers interested in work-life balance issues.Trade Review‘This wonderful Research Handbook introduces scholarly debates on work-life balance, provides new theoretical approaches and insights, proposes innovative qualitative and quantitative research methods, and uses longitudinal and cross-national research examples in the analysis of how people define and reconcile family and work relationships.’ -- Hans-Peter Blossfeld, Emeritus of Excellence, TRAc, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg, Germany‘This excellent collection enriches substantially the work-life balance literature both at the theoretical and empirical level. Focusing on the changing and diversified contexts in which work-life tensions are experienced and balances negotiated across gender and employment relations, the authors shed new light on the different micro and macro dimensions involved, as well as on the importance of a life course perspective. Using a variety of research methods, they look at different kinds of workers and working conditions, highlighting also the ongoing redefinition of the boundaries between (paid) work and other life spheres.’ -- Chiara Saraceno, Collegio Carlo Alberto, Turin, ItalyTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction to the Research Handbook on Work–Life Balance 1 Sonia Bertolini and Barbara Poggio PART I THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK 2 Work–life balance and beyond: premises and challenges 8 Anna Carreri, Annalisa Dordoni, and Barbara Poggio 3 Doing research on work–life balance 27 Sonia Bertolini and Rosy Musumeci PART II MULTILEVEL PERSPECTIVES ALONG GENDER AND TEMPORAL AXES 4 Research on work–life balance: a gender structure analysis 50 Emily Hallgren and Barbara J.

Book SynopsisFrom the time Catterina Vizzani, a young Roman woman, began wooing the woman she was attracted to, she did so dressed as a man. Fleeing Rome to avoid a potential trial for sexual misdeeds, she became Giovanni Bordoni, transitioning and becoming a male in spirit, deed, and body, through what was the most complete physical change possible in the eighteenth century. This volume features Giovanni Bianchi’s 1744 Italian account of Vizzani/Bordoni, published for the first time together with a modern English translation, making available to an English-speaking audience the objective, scientific exploration of gender conducted by Bianchi. John Cleland’s well-known, albeit fanciful, 1751 version of the story has also been reproduced here, shedding light on the divergent sexual politics driving Bianchi’s Italian original and Cleland’s greatly embellished English translation. Through a close examination of Bianchi’s work as anatomical practitioner and scholar, Clorinda Donato traces the development of his advocacy for tolerance of all sexual orientations. Several chapters address the medical and philosophical inquiry into sexual preference, reproduction, sexual identity, and gender fluidity which Enlightenment anatomists from Holland to Italy engaged with in their research concerning the relationship between the mind and the reproductive organs. Meanwhile, it is the social implications of gender ambiguity which may be analysed in Cleland’s condemnation of women who “pass” as men. Drawing on the biographies produced by Bianchi and Cleland, the volume reflects on the motivation of each author to tell the story of Vizzani/Bordoni either as a narration of empowerment or a cautionary tale within the European context of evolving sexual opinions, some based on scientific research, others based on social practice and cultural norms.Trade ReviewReviews Winner of the American Association of Teachers of Italian's 2021 book award in the 1800-Present: Film, Media, & Cultural Studies category.'The story of Caterina Vizzani/Giovanni Bordoni also inspires an articulate volume by Clorinda Donato. [...] In her study, [she] offers a meticulous analysis of the differences between the Italian and English versions. [...] Even more pressing are the knots linked to our present, especially on the side of statements, in the always delicate relationship between nature and culture. [...] That same thread, according to Clorinda Donato, cost Caterina Vizzani/Giovanni Bordoni her life and continues to threaten LGBTQ+ lives today, keeping them poised between visibility and invisibility, exposing them to multiple forms of discrimination.'Translated from Italian:'Oggi la vicenda di Caterina Vizzani/Giovanni Bordoni ispira anche un articolato volume della studiosa americana Clorinda Donato, [...] Clorinda Donato propone, nel suo studio, una minuziosa analisi delle differenze fra la versione italiana e quella inglese. [...] Ancora più stringenti sono i nodi legati al nostro presente, soprattutto sul versante delle enunciazioni, nel sempre delicato rapporto fra natura e cultura.[...] Quello stesso filo, secondo Clorinda Donato, costò la vita a Caterina Vizzani/Giovanni Bordoni e continua a minacciare oggi le vite LGBTQ+, mantenendole in bilico fra visibilità e invisibilità, esponendole a molteplici forme di discriminazione.'Vincenzo Lagioia & Pasquale Palmieri, Doppiozero'Drawing from impressive and exhaustive archival research, this highly original and engaging study focuses on the question of sexual identity in early modern Italy and England. [...] This timely study skillfully and persuasively weaves contemporary relevance into the discussion by exploring questions of gender fluidity, sexual politics, and cultural norms.'American Association of Teachers of Italian (AATI) from their 2021 book awards.‘[…] The author Clorinda Donato considers the motivation of Bianchi and Cleland to narrate the life of Vizzani/Bordoni in the European context of the Eighteenth century, with a special attention on scientific research, social practice and cultural norms […] The interesting volume by Clorinda Donato also opens to this possibility of research and interpretation.’Maria Pia Pagani, Sinestesie‘Clorinda Donato’s book on the Catterina Vizzani story demonstrates the importance of an informed approach to the biographical treatment of alternative sexualities and constitutes a rich and valuable addition to the historiography of queer sexuality in early modern Europe.’ Sara F. Matthews-Grieco, Early Modern Women'Donato has not only shed light on... [an] important document for historical inquiry on sexuality and gender; she has also succeeded in constructing a dense, multi-layered narrative, one that does not eschew precision and erudition, but that is at the same time extremely readable and, in fact, quite captivating, even for a non-expert readership.' Sabrina Ovan, Annali d’Italianistica'A detailed analysis' Vincenzo Lagioia and Pasquale Palmieri, Doppiozero‘The Life and legend of Catterina Vizzani is an incredibly rich and original study that deepens and nuances our knowledge of ideas and practices of sexuality and gender circulating in Italy and England in the 1700s. A delightful read both for the specialist and general public… an outstanding example of intercultural reading.’ Irene Zanini-Cordi, New Perspectives on the Eighteenth Century‘Bringing together histories of the Grand Tour, anatomy and dissection, sexuality and gender, translation studies, and much more, this book weaves together a fascinating narrative about Vizzani/Bordoni, biographer Giovanni Bianchi, and English translator and commentator John Cleland. The Life and Legend of Catterina Vizzani makes available a new critical text for the growing field of trans eighteenth-century studies, and its discussions of women’s sexuality and bodies make it a valuable addition to women’s history and sexuality studies more broadly.’ Ula E.

Book SynopsisCrossroads! Intersections physical and/or metaphorical demand processes of consideration, determination, decision and commitment. Stasis is no longer an option where convergence is poised before the unknown. Where categories such as gender, culture, ethnicity, socio-economic status, philosophy and religion clash, the multivariate process can reach such complexity that literary, sociological and psychological tools can have differing interpretations. Real-life intersections range from the mundane (choosing among food items on a menu according to taste preferences) to survival-determinants (evaluating the efficacy of various medical procedures). But such intersections are at the two ends of a very long continuum that takes in issues of form/function, and traditional vs.modern. For example, Home may be defined both as a physical place and/or a mental construct. In more esoteric contexts, artists chiefly known for visual production, representing their ideas with color and form, not infrequently cross media to paint with words. Philosophy, religion, art and literature cross paths via symbols and other visual and linguistic constructs. Writers deal with how and where their own or their characters multiple identities intersect. The Hispanic world is an extraordinarily vivid place to explore these crossroads. This collection of essays addresses a multitude of crossroads in numerous Hispanic contexts across the intersections of time & space/tradition & modernity. The contexts are wide-ranging; e.g., the visual, architectural: how Spains age-old oenological tradition meets modern technology, how the vestiges of long-term dictatorship lurk in the spaces of Spains democracy; and how space/architecture, and art/poetry cross in Latin America. Painters Pablo Picasso and Frida Kahlos productions cross the visual to the written; and magical realism products of the twentieth century Latin American artistic movement defy nature, science, time and space.

Book SynopsisThis ground-breaking Handbook on Gender and Public Administration brings together leading experts in a rapidly growing field of study to explore the emerging contexts of gender and public administration. Capturing the many facets of this dynamic trend, the book explores gender equity and further examines masculinity, intersectionality and beyond binary conceptions of gender. Chapters written by expert contributors provide an in-depth analysis of the history, theory and context of gender equity alongside the intersection of gender and traditional public administration topics such as budgeting, personnel, organizations, ethics, performance and representative democracy. Furthermore, it investigates gender dynamics in international, governmental, non-profit, policy and academic contexts, highlights the progress made, and identifies the ongoing challenges. This timely Handbook will be an excellent resource for scholars in public administration who wish to explore gender and the broader questions of social equity, as well as scholars new to the field of public administration and gender. Following a growing movement to incorporate gender into public administration curriculum, this book will also prove a useful guide for faculty providing these courses.Trade Review‘Shields and Elias have assembled an amazing line up of scholars who demonstrate why gender is central to addressing the big questions of public administration. Covering a diversity of contexts and concepts, this edited volume will be the leading text on the study of gender and public administration for the next generation of scholars.

Book SynopsisGender equality has been one of the defining projects of European welfare states. It has proven an elusive goal, not just because of political opposition but also due to a lack of clarity in how to best frame equality and take account of family-related considerations. This wide-ranging book assembles the most pertinent literature and evidence to provide a critical understanding of how contemporary state policies engage with gender inequalities. Examining progress in gender equality in EU member states, this thought-provoking book traces developments from the last decade and earlier regarding women's and men's relative positioning in respect of income, employment and time. Located in a critical feminist perspective, the result is a compelling overview of the gender-related achievements in the EU and continuing gaps and inequalities. As well as taking stock of where we are now, the book identifies a research agenda going forward. This seeks to revitalise the feminist social policy project, in light of key welfare state developments and intersectional inequalities in Europe and beyond. This innovative and detailed book constitutes an important contribution to debates about gender equality and policies in Europe and provides a timely reminder of the content of the gender critique of welfare states and why it is still salient.Trade Review'Across Europe, women's lives have changed significantly in recent years, men's much less so. Gender divisions remain strong, interconnected with other forms of inequality. This engaging and wide-ranging book provides a detailed analysis of the mixed and uneven role of social policy in addressing gender inequalities across Europe. Read it to understand how we got to where we are now, and where we need to go in the future.' --Jane Millar, University of Bath, UK'Mary Daly gives us an incisive and up-to-date synthesis of what we know, and what we don't, about the part social policy plays in inequalities between women and men. Focusing on European Union countries, she traces the evolution of theory and presents comparative empirical analysis of gender inequalities in employment, material resources, and time given to the work of daily life. Finding both stasis and change, she leads us toward the next horizon of thinking about gender and social policy. This work is as readable as it is scholarly.' --Sheila Shaver, University of New South Wales, Australia'Writing from a full appreciation of the history of the fields of social policy and gender studies, in this important book Mary Daly applies evidence to theoretical perspectives to reveal the impact of public policy on the quotidian of gendered lives. Exploring differences among genders and the intersections of inequalities, she maps their management, reproduction and change by social policy, and goes on to identify key directions for future theory and research. A tour de force and compulsory reading for all.' --Jane Jenson, Université de Montréal, CanadaTable of ContentsContents: Introduction 1. Women, Gender and Social Policy in Early Work 2.

Book SynopsisCritical intersectional scholarship enhances researchers’ and scholar-activists’ ability to open novel research frontiers. This forward-thinking Research Handbook demonstrates how to pursue fluid and innovative research approaches, identify differences from traditional methodologies, and overcome the common challenges faced when carrying out intersectional research. A transdisciplinary group of contributors offer their experience and expertise to provide an overview of key research topics, qualitative and quantitative approaches, and empirical examples of integrating intersectionality research with other critical practices. Examining the foundational texts that explain historical developments in systems of oppression and interdisciplinary research on marginalized communities, state-of the-art chapters explore the intersections emerging in studies of gender and sexuality, capitalism, white supremacy, nationalism, colonialism, climate emergencies, imperial decline, and public health. Reconsidering the ways in which scholar-activists carry out research, the Research Handbook demonstrates how an intersectional gaze and a continued commitment to social justice moves us closer to producing valuable research and, ultimately, transforming knowledge. Advancing innovative and multidisciplinary approaches, this incisive Research Handbook will be an invaluable tool for scholars and researchers hoping to undertake meaningful intersectional research. Its empirical findings will further benefit practitioners tasked with designing intersectional policy.Trade Review‘Mary Romero is once again pushing the boundaries of intersectionality, reaching backward as well as forward to reveal intersectionality’s deep history and future evolution. All this in a single volume with dozens of contributors demonstrating how to put intersectionality into practice in both research and activism on an astonishingly wide range of issues.’ -- – Leslie McCall, The Graduate Center, City University of New York, US‘Mary Romero’s Research Handbook on Intersectionality is timely and compelling! This multidisciplinary, historical, transnational, and global collection of excellent articles, with Romero’s incisive introduction, emphasizes the salience of intersectional methodologies. Significantly, it highlights the conceptual and contextual complexities in doing intersectional research. A must read for scholars, activists, and students interested in engaging in research, transforming knowledge, and in linking theory and meaningful praxis.’ -- Margaret Abraham, Hofstra University, US‘Mary Romero has added a vital resource to the copious literature on intersectionality by building on the highlights of path-breaking classic arguments while combining these in each article with the newest applications of the concept to a wide field of concerns. Both established voices and emerging scholars contribute to centering the issues of practical application to research and activism, and including rarely considered topics such as disability, human rights, and indigeneity. A timely reference for those new to the field but also a source of inspiration for even the most knowledgeable scholars.’ -- Myra Marx Ferree, University of Wisconsin-Madison, US‘This cutting-edge volume brings together a number of well-established experts to explore the doing or practice of intersectional work across a number of (trans)disciplinary spaces, and especially in regard to certain neglected areas of scholarship such as settler colonialism, indigenous studies, applied research, and transnationalism. In doing so, the volume extends intersectional scholarship in critical and necessary ways.

Book SynopsisEntangled Otherness explores the dynamics of cross-dressing and gender performance in contemporary francophone Caribbean cultures through a range of visual and textual media. Original in its comparative focus on the islands of Haiti, Martinique, Guadeloupe and their diasporic communities in France, this study reveals how opaque strategies of crossing, mimicry and masquerade have enabled resistance to the racialised, gendered and patriarchal classifications of bodies that characterized Enlightenment thought during the French transatlantic slave trade. It engages with archival texts of pre-revolutionary Haiti to offer a historical understanding of current constructions of Caribbean gender most influenced by French colonial legacies. The author argues that cross-dressing, as a form of ‘self-fabrication’, complicates inherently entangled colonial binaries of identity and resists France’s paternalistic gaze. The book’s multidisciplinary approach to gender analysis weaves a dialogue between cross-cultural voices garnered from textual and historical analysis, ethnographic interviews and theoretical insight to foreground the continued need to decolonize Eurocentric readings of gender identity in the francophone and creolophone islands, and the Caribbean region more generally. Works of art, film, photography, carnival, performance, and dress, including depictions of fluid identities in the binary-resistant Afro-Creole religion of Vodou, are examined using contemporary performance, gender and social theory from within the region. Entangled Otherness thus makes a unique and timely contribution to the growing body of knowledge and debate in the areas of gender, sexuality and the body in Caribbean Studies.Trade Review'[Entangled Otherness] conducts a courageous inquiry into “gender” in Guadeloupe, Haiti, and Martinique [...] With such seemingly divergent disciplinary agendas, the book’s extreme originality is to contextualize analyses of gendered identities, using oral history, discourse analysis, and ethnography to better shape the contours of decolonializing a misrepresentation of gender dynamics in the Caribbean islands that have been, at least explicitly, the most influenced by French colonial legacies.'Alessandra Benedicty-Kokken, CUNY'Charlotte Hammond’s groundbreaking interdisciplinary research has produced a monumental book on mimicry and masquerade.'Rachel Douglas, University of GlasgowReviews 'Hammond weaves (if I might permit myself such a metaphor) an elaborate web of connections that create a network, indeed a mapping, of the various intersectionalities under consideration. Rather than overworking a wordplay that might seem to lack a correspondingly rich conceptual content, this semantic wealth instead matches the intricacy of the book’s readings and theorizations.'

Book SynopsisTaking a novel approach to child support policy analysis, Single Parents and Child Support Systems locates the transfer of payments between separated parents within a wider social policy ecosystem and compares the political, institutional and administrative dimensions of child support policy enactment across the globe. Featuring contributions from an interdisciplinary collective of researchers in social policy, social work, sociology, economics and law, the book assesses how child support policies align conceptually with other social policies. Single Parents and Child Support Systems begins by setting out how children’s and single parents’ economic welfare is conceived across countries in relation to the triple burden of financial, caring and administrative responsibilities faced by single mothers. Chapters map how post-separation child support policy reinforces or breaks from the gender and family logics that underpin welfare and family policies in 10 different countries spanning corporatist, liberal and Nordic welfare regimes. Offering extensive coverage of a diverse range of international legal provisions and social policies, this stimulating book will be an essential resource for academics and researchers of social policy, social work, family law and gender studies. Its practical insights and suggested avenues for reform will also benefit policy makers, child support administrators and legal professionals.Trade Review‘For years, policy makers have been trying to design child support systems which help separated parents yet encourage them to take fiscal responsibility for their children. This illuminating book examines ten countries’ child support policies across six continents and provides fascinating insight into the different systems adopted. It digs deep and also considers the socio-economic and political contexts shaping those policies. The authors use this analysis to pinpoint potential changes to address “the triple bind” single parents face. An invaluable resource for scholars, students, policy makers, and anyone using child support systems. As an international family lawyer tackling international and national child support issues, I found it hugely enlightening.’ -- Lucy Greenwood, Partner, International Family Law Group LLP, UK‘This is a fascinating foray into the intersection of state, market, and family policies relating to child support programs in ten different countries. Positioning child support as a means of operationalizing the opportunity costs of children’s care is indeed a novel way of examining the child support program. The authors, all experts in child support and other socioeconomic interventions, make the strong case that child support is in fact falling short of meeting the needs of the moms who are relying on assistance. To potentially remedy this situation, the authors ask us what is the fundamental purpose of child support?’ -- Steven J. Golightly, Ph.D, Retired Director of the Los Angeles Child Support Program, US‘Designing policy for separating families is thorny yet consequential. This book not only provides an excellent overview of current policy but also addresses new policy dilemmas and explores ideas for dramatic change. The authors achieve an excellent balance between policy specifics within countries and thoughtful discussion of the broader and enduring issues that emerge when comparing different contexts.

Book SynopsisElgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.With contributions from global leading scholars, this Research Agenda offers an interdisciplinary collection of ideas investigating gender and leadership; where we are today and where we are going. Using critical perspectives, chapters challenge the way we think about gender and leadership by questioning the status quo. Providing cutting edge discussion from authors of diverse genders, races, ages, ethnicities, and religions, this book provides analysis of the key issues and methodologies in modern leadership research. Forward thinking, it examines current guidelines and provides insight towards an equitable and positive change in leadership.Leadership scholars and graduate students interested in business leadership as well as gender and management more broadly will find this not only an informative but an illuminating read.Trade Review‘Critical, timely, thoughtful! This entire project gracefully centers the nuances of gender, what it is and isn't, while artfully exploring leadership at its intersections. Each chapter intentionally disrupts the “story most often told” in leadership--research, development, and practice--and places concerted attention on identities, lived experiences, and perspectives about leadership that have historically not been prioritized. Sherylle J. Tan and Lisa DeFrank-Cole, alongside each chapter author, challenges readers to think beyond the current leadership milieu to imagine, better yet, demand what could be! I am excited for the impact this work will have on the understanding and practice of leadership!’ -- Natasha Turman, University of Michigan, US‘Once again Sherylle J. Tan and Lisa DeFrank-Cole have made an important contribution to the continuing conversation of gender and leadership.

Book SynopsisThis timely Companion traces the interlinking histories of globalisation, gender, and migration in the 21st century, setting up a completely new agenda beyond Western research production. Natalia Ribas-Mateos and Saskia Sassen bring together 27 incisive contributions from leading international experts on gender and global migration, uncovering the multitude of economies, histories, families and working cultures in which local, regional, national, and global economies are embedded. Examining recent migratory flows and changing migration corridors across the globe, the Companion offers critical insights into the wider dynamics that compel people to migrate. Chapters address key topics relating to gender and global migration, from global cities and border regions, internal displacements, and humanitarian risks, to the changing face of care chains and labour, pandemic mobilities, expulsions from climate change and the weight of critical historical colonial studies in contemporary feminisms. The volume further explores extractivism, colonial images, the agrifood industry, qualified labour, remittances, cross-border trade, and extreme violence. Advancing a compelling range of forward-looking perspectives, this dynamic Companion establishes a novel agenda for future research on gender and global migration. Integrating empirical case studies with cutting-edge theory, The Elgar Companion to Gender and Global Migration will be an invaluable resource for a multidisciplinary audience of scholars across sociology, anthropology, geography, economics and political science, as well as migration and gender studies. Its themes will also be of significant interest to policymakers, administrators and grassroots organisations involved in emerging topics in migration studies.Trade Review‘Firmly anchored in critical analysis of women’s migration under 1980s neoliberal globalization and stretching into twenty-first century displacements, violence and migration-care regimes, this volume brings together inquiries spanning across parts of Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia and Africa.

Book SynopsisBuilding upon the body of existing literature that has established the importance of norms in understanding why genders interact with social phenomena differently, and how gender plays a role in most aspects of corruption, this cutting-edge book expands the fields to explore the nexus between norms, gender and corruption.Making a timely and innovative contribution to all three streams of research, the book dives deeper into the role of norms in understanding the relationship between gender and corruption. An international, multidisciplinary group of experts combine global qualitative, in-depth case studies with large scale quantitative analysis to demonstrate the complementary use of different methods in the fields of gender, norms and corruption. Considering gendered differences in attitudes towards, and experiences of, corruption, the chapters examine political and institutional participation in corruption, looking closely at gender representation, stereotypes, and norms-based barriers. Analysing norms from different perspectives, with the main focus on social norms, this forward-thinking book makes a convincing case for why norms should be included in the research agenda on gender and corruption.Interdisciplinary in scope, this insightful book will prove invaluable to students and scholars of gender politics, social policy and sociology, and law, regulation and governance. It will also prove a useful reference guide to policymakers concerned with the relationship between gender and corruption.Trade Review‘I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the complex relationship between gender equality, corruption and good governance. It clearly shows that the inclusion of women in positions of power is no “quick fix” to reduced levels of corruption. The chapters give new insights on how social and political norms specify the room open for women to maneuver in society.’ -- Lena Wängnerud, University of Gothenburg, Sweden'This excellent collection is a much-needed inquiry into still relatively unexplored debates around gender and corruption. Spanning many countries and different types of corruption, and furthering conceptual clarity as well as offering empirical case studies, the book is a must-read for anti-corruption scholars and practitioners.' -- Elizabeth David-Barrett, University of Sussex, UKTable of ContentsContents: Preface xvi 1 Introduction.

Book SynopsisThis insightful book provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of the formation and evolution of Nordic earner-carer policies over five decades. Spanning parental leave, father quotas, daycare services, and cash for childcare allowances, it explores the key roles that ideas and political parties play in the policy reform process.Examining earner-carer politics across Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, Anne Lise Ellingsæter summarises and advances existing family policy literature by adopting a long historical perspective on policy reform. Highlighting how political processes shape policy trajectories, the book focuses on interpretative struggles in political discourses and reform processes, reflecting on the highly politicised and value-laden nature of family policy. It argues that bloc politics – the left against the centre-right – have been a central driving force, energised by differing ideas about relationships between state, family and individual, and between state and market. Ellingsæter also explores gender equality and parental choice, two strong and at times competing ideas influencing family policy.Drawing on and furthering extensive theoretical and empirical research on family policy and welfare state change, Nordic Earner-Carer Politics will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of social policy, sociology, political science, and gender studies.Trade Review‘In tracing 50 years of the history of earner-carer models in the five Nordic countries, this important book provides new insights into one of the defining features of the welfare state. Its compelling analysis of both the politics and policies associated with earner-carer models is a major contribution to scholarship.’ -- Mary Daly, University of Oxford, UK‘Anne Lise Ellingsæter has long been an influential scholar of Nordic social policies, keenly analyzing policy architectures and their effects on gendered divisions of labor. In this ground-breaking book, she turns her experienced eye to policy formation. Focusing on the role of ideas and partisan political dynamics, and applying a comparative and historical lens, she skillfully unwinds complex policy trajectories.’ -- – Janet C.

Book SynopsisIn this thoughtful book, Penny Dick challenges orthodox views of gender inequality. Combining post-structuralist thinking with process ontology, the author presents a novel conceptual approach to rethinking gender inequalities in organizations and management settings.The author argues that current understandings of gender inequalities tend to focus too much on how to improve women’s access to higher value roles and occupations rather than questioning why some roles and occupations are seen to be so valuable in the first instance. Positing that organizations tend to value people and roles that are seen to visibly contribute to bottom line outcomes such as profit and reputation, the book argues that the undervaluation of particular forms of work is related to its perceived lack of centrality to such outcomes. While this problem is certainly more often prevalent in the types of work typically performed by women, it is also one that affects many men.This accessible and provocative account of the application of social constructionism and post-structuralist thinking to the study of gender inequalities will be an important resource for academics, researchers, and students interested in gender and social justice, business and management, diversity and management, gender and management, and gender equality studies.Trade Review‘Penny Dick weaves together theory and rich data to refreshingly and provocatively challenge mainstream conceptions of the nature of work and the consequences for gender inequity. She argues that the valuation of work is a taken-for-granted social, political, and masculinized process, creating a moral order in which women experience tensions in the (in)visibility of their work.’ -- Ann L. Cunliffe, Fundaçâo Getulio Vargas, Brazil‘Rethinking Gender Inequalities in Organizations is an essential read for all scholars of management and organization studies – and it is a central text for those interested in gender and employment! This insightful and compelling book gets to the heart of problems associated with current thinking about gender inequalities. It takes a novel and critical perspective on traditional approaches and makes strong arguments for how we might rethink such ideas. A great opportunity to reflect on how and why gender inequalities happen.’ -- Caroline Gatrell, University of Liverpool, UK‘This book offers a compellingly provocative rethinking of gender inequalities in organizations. It unpacks taken for granted ideas about the work and lives of women and men in all their diversity. Penny Dick urges us to think critically about the very notion of inequalities and interrogates the standards of what is valued in contemporary workplaces. It shows that what counts as work and who counts as a worker are not given, but instead are social and political constructs which devalue many contributions many women make.’ -- Yvonne Benschop, Radboud University, the NetherlandsTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1 Introduction: Rethinking gender inequalities in organizations 2 Theoretical approaches to the study of gender inequalities 3 Theoretical approach and conceptual tools 4 The social construction of job requirements 5 Power, visible work and moral order 6 Contesting the moral order 7 Rewriting the moral order: the narrative ordering of disorderly lives 8 Rethinking gender inequalities in organizations: review and synthesis 9 Conclusion: theoretical, methodological and practical implications Bibliography Index

Book SynopsisThroughout history women have struggled to reclaim their bodies from the meanings and assaults imposed on them by cultural practices, sexual mores, victimization, and concepts of how their bodies should be presented and managed in public, to intimate male partners, or in the workplace. Despite the images and expectations imposed on their bodies, women are increasingly claiming their bodies as their own through embodied somatic leadership, in protesting injustice, in promoting peace, and in working in a so-called man's world.Why has embodied somatic leadership more recently become highlighted, and what conditions in the world have brought this approach to leadership under study and scrutiny?Women Embodied Leaders answers these questions, analyzing models of embodied somatic leadership, and how women use this leadership from a number of perspectives. The wholistic treatment of this leadership is a useful tool not only for researchers, practitioners, and activists, but

Book SynopsisAn Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library as part of the Opening the Future project with COPIM. The early twentieth century was awash in revolutionary scientific discourse, and its uptake in the public imaginary through popular scientific writings touched every area of human experience, from politics and governance to social mores and culture. Feeling Strangely argues that these shifting scientific understandings and their integration into Hispanic and Lusophone society reshaped the experience of gender. The book analyzes gender as a felt experience and explores how that experience is shaped by popular scientific discourse by examining the “strange” femininity of young protagonists in four novels written by women in Spanish and Portuguese: Rosa Chacel’s Memorias de Leticia Valle (published in Argentina in 1945); Norah Lange’s Personas en la sala (Argentina, 1950); Carmen Laforet’s Nada (Spain, 1945); and Clarice Lispector’s Perto do coração selvagem (Brazil, 1943). It pairs each novel with a broad scientific theme selected from those that captured the contemporary popular imagination to argue that the young female protagonists in these novels all put forth visions of young womanhood as an experience of strangeness. Building on Carmen Martín Gaite’s term chicas raras, Rankin proposes this strangeness as constitutive of a gendered experience inextricable from affective and material engagements with the world.Trade Review‘This is an elegant and deftly argued book with a radical feminist proposal at its heart. It is beautifully written (and is enormously enjoyable to read) and is a work of first-rate scholarship and originality.'

Book SynopsisIntersectional in approach, this volume of Advances in Gender Research offers an overview of the ways in which environments broadly defined to include social, natural and built territories, domains and habitats are gendered. Rooted in qualitative, feminist and change-oriented perspectives, this international set of scholars and practitioners provides an understanding of how marginalized and indigenous populations, often overlooked, relate to natural and built environments.Drawing on real-world interviews, as well as their political and historical contexts, contributors highlight the voices of women and their interactions with their environments. Chapters critically consider the threats, barriers and limitations of urban design to the movements of women, including those with disabilities, covering cases such as: home-based sex work in Punjab cities workplace environments and their role in women's career building environmental activism and cities Asian American women in STEM disciplines indigenous change agents in the Amazon change in built environments, specifically in Athens and Rome agriculture in the Colombian Amazon queer eco-spirituality Demonstrating how women and other marginalized groups respond to the limits and options imposed by the history and structure of spaces, People, Spaces and Places in Gendered Environments envisions a world beyond colonial, able-bodied, class and patriarchal limitations where freedom of movement functions for all.

Book SynopsisBeauty embodiment and representations of beauty are crafted by legitimised hierarchies of power in popular culture, including across fashion, sports, media and social media outlets, and the arts. Informed and guided by an intersectional lens with a focus on underrepresented communities, this volume of Advances in Gender Research foregrounds gender and sexuality to engage with beauty as a site of knowledge creation.Interrogating its very definition, chapters take a revolutionary, intersectional approach to explore beauty as an avenue to create alternative knowledge as well as a conduit to engage in critical conversations on race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, illness, and fitness. Emphasizing that beauty definitions and standards in any given society closely reflect the distribution of power within it, contributors think critically about the role of institutions such as the hair industry, workplaces, the visual arts, and classical dance in how beauty is socially const

Book SynopsisThe ebook edition of this title is Open Access, thanks to Knowledge Unlatched funding, and freely available to read online. In a context where striving for gender equity in relation to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals seems more pressing than ever before, Sport, Gender and Development: Intersections, Innovations and Future Trajectories brings together an exploration of sport feminisms to offer new approaches to research on Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) in global and local contexts. Including postcolonial and decolonial feminist lenses by drawing upon fieldwork with organizations and individuals in Afghanistan, Uganda, Nicaragua, and India, Sport, Gender and Development reveals the complexities of development and gender discourses and how they operate on and through researchers, practitioners, and participants' bodies. Delving into a thoughtful engagement with the (dis)connections and comparisons across these diverging contexts, this book offers a critically reflexive account of what is transpiring in the transnational sport, gender and development field, while remaining sensitive to the importance of community context and local iterations. Taking up emerging and contemporary feminist issues in sport related international development, this book advances empirical, conceptual, and theoretical developments in sport, gender and development.Trade ReviewThis is a much anticipation and welcomed text, and widely exciting because of the nuanced coalescing of three subject matters: development, gender and sport, which are deeply important to me. I know I would simply pick the book up and look to read it, based on the bringing together of Hayhurst, Thorpe and Chawansky in one space. All brilliant feminist scholars in their own right. This book will undoubtedly hold significant appeal to many of us working in the sport for development, gender, space and will become a must have resource. Those new to thinking about sport for development through a gender lens would do well to make this text their start point! I look forward to having my own well handled, marked up copy and for years to come I have no doubt I will be regularly lifting it off my book shelf and saying to research students. This is a seminal text, make sure you are familiar with it, and the broader work of those who have contributed. -- Rochelle Stewart-Withers is a Senior Lecturer at Massey University, New ZealandSport for development must urgently move beyond its missionary phase, especially after the exacerbating inequalities of COVID. For those who deploy sports to empower girls and young women and educate boys and men, this book is essential. The authors and their collaborators offer both caution and encouragement through frank theoretical insights and instructive case studies from the Global South. I found it learned, honest and extremely informative. -- Bruce Kidd, Professor Emeritus, University of TorontoTable of ContentsChapter 1.
