Taylor & Francis The Routledge Handbook of Disability Activism
Book SynopsisThe onslaught of neoliberalism, austerity measures and cuts, impact of climate change, protracted conflicts and ongoing refugee crisis, rise of far right and populist movements have all negatively impacted on disability. Yet, disabled people and their allies are fighting back and we urgently need to understand how, where and what they are doing, what they feel their challenges are and what their future needs will be.This comprehensive handbook emphasizes the importance of everyday disability activism and how activists across the world bring together a wide range of activism tactics and strategies. It also challenges the activist movements, transnational and emancipatory politics, as well as providing future directions for disability activism.With contributions from senior and emerging disability activists, academics, students and practitioners from around the globe, this handbook covers the following broad themes:â Contextualising disability activism in global aTrade Review"...there really is something in this collection for most and I would recommend it to novice and experienced scholars and activists alike. Any volume which prioritises disability rights is always going to be of value, particularly in such an insecure disablist world.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Men and Welfare
Book SynopsisThis book explores the complex, evolving relationships between men, masculinities, and social welfare in contemporary context.It is inspired by themes examined in Men, Gender Divisions and Welfare', an edited collection published in 1998 by Popay, Hearn, and Edwards. While international policy agendas reflect a growing commitment to critically addressing the relations between men, masculinities, and policy, in policy and popular discussions, societies continue to grapple with the question of what to do with men?' This question reflects an ongoing tension between the persistence of men's power and control over welfare and policy development, alongside their ostensible avoidance of welfare services.

Taylor & Francis Speech and Silence in Contemporary Childrens
Book SynopsisSpeech and Silence in Contemporary Childrenâs Literature brings a fresh perspective to a central literary questionâ Who speaks?â by examining a variety of represented silences. These include children who do not speak, do not yet speak effectively, or speak on behalf of others. A rich and unexamined literary archive explores the problematics of children who are literally silent or metaphorically so because they cannot communicate effectively with adults or peers. This project centers childrenâs literature in the question of voice by considering disability, gender, race, and ecocriticism. Childrenâs literature rests on a paradox at the root of its own genre: it is produced by an adult author writing to a constructed idea of what children should be. By reading a range of contemporary childrenâs literature, this book scrutinizes how such texts narrate the childâs journey from communicative alterity to a place of empowered adult speech. Sometimes the childâs verbal enclosure enables privacy and resistance. At other times, silence is coerced or imposed or arises from bodily impairment. Children may act as intermediaries, speaking on behalf of species that cannot. Recently, we have seen children exercise their voices on the world stage and as authors. In all cases, the texts analyzed here reveal speech as a minefield to be traversed. Children who talk too much, too little, or with insufficient expertise pose problems to themselves and others. Implicitly and sometimes explicitly, they attempt to hold adults to accountâ inside and outside the text. Speech and Silence in Contemporary Childrenâs Literature addresses this underconceptualized subject in what will be an important text for scholars of childrenâs literature, childhood studies, English, disability studies, gender studies, race studies, ecopedagogy, and education.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Language Incompetence
Book SynopsisThis book is framed as a memoir of the author's journey through a cancer diagnosis and resulting impairments, as he continued his teaching and research activities during and after medical procedures. The narrative weaves together theoretical debates, textual analyses, and ethnographic data from communicative practices to redefine language competence.The book demonstrates: the generative and resistant value of human vulnerability the importance of vulnerability in motivating engagement with social networks and material ecologies for productive thinking, communication, and community the role of relational ethics in social and communicative life a decolonizing orientation to disability studies and language competence. While language competence was traditionally defined as mentally internalized grammatical knowledge for individual mastery of communication, this book demonstrates the need for distributed, ethical, and embodied practicTrade Review"This is a ground-breaking book, situated at the intersection of disability studies and applied linguistics. Suresh Canagarajah writes about important contemporary themes. He argues for a non-deficit perspective, where English language students are no longer seen as needing remediation. He criticizes applied linguists’ exclusive reliance on western discourse and knowledge-making practices. He establishes the importance of social networks, material resources, and distributed practice in the emergence of meaning. He calls for researchers to engage in ethical inquiry, consistent with several recent reminders that applied linguists should seek to solve problems in the real world. In short, this is a thought-provoking book—a memoir sure to spark much discussion."Diane Larsen-Freeman, University of Michigan, USA"Reading Language Incompetence is a unique experience – we encounter a very different author than what we usually expect when we read academic literature. Indeed, this is a very different author than the Suresh Canagarajah that we have known from his academic literature. But there is incredible strength embodied in the anomalies of this book, just as the author argues for the strength in anomalous embodiment more generally. Most impressive is the honesty with which Canagarajah recounts his engagement with disability, through layers of internalized ableism, grappling and often struggling with the ways that our academic discourses suffice, and do not suffice, to recognize the very real vulnerability of our bodies and minds. Language Incompetence should be read by any student or scholar invested in the reliability and normativity of linguistics, of science, of rhetoric – Canagarajah will gently replace their desire for precision and certainty with something much more human."Jay Dolmage, Professor of English, University of Waterloo, Canada; Editor, Canadian Journal of Disability StudiesTable of ContentsPreface1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Complexities of Researching with Young People

Taylor & Francis Ltd Museums Children and Social Action
Book SynopsisMuseums, Children and Social Action examines the role that museums play in reaching, teaching and inspiring children as global citizens of the world and, looking to the future, argues that the sustainability of museums will come from strengthening relationships with young visitors. Presenting a diverse range of programs, exhibitions and outreach from museums across five continents, Shaffer highlights how museums are already serving children and making a difference in their lives. Arguing that museums have a unique responsibility to connect this audience with relevant social issues and challenges, such as social injustice, racism, climate change and poverty, Shaffer simultaneously acknowledges that a large number of children are still on the margins of the institution and its mission. Recognizing the ways in which museums are currently serving children, the book also considers what museums could and should be doing as they plan for the future, raising criticaTable of ContentsIntroduction; Section I: Museums as Social Institutions: Past and Present; Introduction to Section I; Chapter 1: Museums Across History: The Story of Children in the Context of Meuseums; Chapter 2 A Legacy of Serving Communities: A Mission of Education and Service; Section II: Museums as Social Institutions in the Twenty-First Century: Their Impact on Children; Introduction to Section II; Chapter 3: Museums in Times of Change: Today and in the Future; Chapter 4: The Museum as a Platform for Advancing Social Issues: Adressing Race, Identity, Social Justice and Peace in the World; Chapter 5: Advancing Social Responsibility for the Environment: Understanding the Challenge of Climate Change and Social Action; Section III: A Closer Look at Children and Museums in Society: Expandinf Opportunities for Engagement and Social Action; Introduction to Section III; Chapter 6: Changing Demographics and Implications for Children and Families in Museums; Chapter 7: A Blend of Two Perspectives: Understanding the Museum from the Inside-Out, A Museum Perspective and from the Outside-In, a community Perspective; Chapter 8: Rethinking the Future of Children and Museums through a Social Lens: A Call to Action; Appendix A; Appendix B; Appendix C.

Taylor & Francis The Therapeutic Power of the Maggies Centre
Book SynopsisThis book is about the therapeutic environment of the Maggie's centre and explores the many ways this is achieved. With an unconventional architecture as required by the design brief, combined with Maggie's psychological support programme, this special health facility allows extraordinary therapeutic effects in people, to the point that one can speak of therapeutic power.After tracing the story of the Maggie's centre, the book reveals its fundamentals: Maggie's Therapeutikos (the-mind-as-important-as-the-body), the Architectural Brief and the Client-Architect-Users' Triad. It continues by unfolding Maggie's synergy-that between people and place-which increases users' psychological flexibility helping them tolerate what was intolerable before. Although comfort and atmospheres are paramount, they are not enough to define the therapeutic environment of the Maggie's centre.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Negotiating Families and Personal Lives in the
Book SynopsisThis book is a vital new resource in the sociological study of family life in the 21st century. The chapters in this volume explore a diverse range of family and intimate life experiences, such as personal choices about reproduction and how life choices and family forms are mediated by factors including geographical location, race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, income and government policy. Through a series of evidence-based chapters, leading sociologists explore a diverse range of family and intimate life experiences and the contexts within which they are lived and experienced. Each chapter delves into the lives and experiences of people whose choices in some way seem to disrupt normative and traditional ideas of family, parenting and childhood. Family patterns and experiences of living apart together, troubled families, children in care, culture, coupledom, same-sex families and digital technology are covered and examined innovatively through theoretical engagement.CTrade Review'This book is unique in being the first of its kind to use disruptive ambiguity to fuel critical thinking of the normative understandings of family and life trajectories. It achieves this by challenging the inertia of embedded cultures and policies which still frame reality for non-normative families – a triumph for the creation of an authentic discursive place for societal progress'.Professor Catherine Hayes, University of Sunderland, UK'I would like to endorse this volume, which offers readers engagement with innovative work – both in terms of topic and/or methodology – in the field of family sociology. The book has an international appeal and both the editors and contributors are acknowledged experts in this field. The book aims to disrupt normative or expected accounts of family and the life course and – following the recent death of David HJ Morgan – it is encouraging to see that the volume intends to extend and rethink Morgan's work on family practices. I endorse and very much look forward to reading this publication'.Dr Stephen Hicks, University of Manchester, member of the Morgan Centre for Research into Everyday Lives'An important and timely collection taking forward scholarship in the field of family sociology. This volume draws on a range of empirical research projects investigating many hitherto under-researched life stages and family formations – methodologically innovative and theoretically ambitious, it will be of interest to researchers as well as practitioners working beyond the academy'.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Women Migration and Aging in the Americas
