Taylor & Francis FiftyOne Key Feminist Thinkers
Book SynopsisThe feminist thinkers in this collection are the designated fifty-one key feminist thinkers, historical and contemporary, and also the authors of the entries. Collected here are fifty-one key thinkers and fifty-one authors, recognizing that women are fifty-one percent of the population. There are actually one hundred and two thinkers collected in these pages, as each author is a feminist thinker, too: scholars, writers, poets, and activists, well-established and emerging, old and young and in-between. These feminists speak the languages of art, politics, literature, education, classics, gender studies, film, queer theory, global affairs, political theory, science fiction, African American studies, sociology, American studies, geography, history, philosophy, poetry, and psychoanalysis. Speaking in all these diverse tongues, conversations made possible by feminist thinking are introduced and engaged. Key figures include: Simone de Beauvoir Doris Lessing Toni Morrison Cindy Sherman Octavia Butler Marina Warner Elizabeth Cady Stanton Chantal Akerman Betty Friedan Audre Lorde Margaret Fuller Sappho Adrienne Rich Each entry is supported by a list of the thinkerâs major works, along with further reading suggestions. An ideal resource for students and academics alike, this text will appeal to all those interested in the fields of gender studies, womenâs studies and womenâs history and politics.Trade ReviewIn Fifty-One Key Feminist Thinkers Lori Marso has brought together an excellent collection of accessible yet incisive, rich and original semi-biographical essays on key feminist thinkers, ranging from Sappho and Sojourner Truth to Nawal El Saadawi and Judith Butler. The volume is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in feminist thinking in all its variety and complexity. Moya Lloyd, Professor of Political Theory, Loughborough University, UKShowing readers that feminist theory remains one of the most exciting sites for engaging questions of both political thought and action, Fifty-One Key Feminist Thinkers creates a remarkable conversation between feminist theorists past and present. Considering questions of identity, freedom, power, justice, desire, autonomy, inclusion, difference, and what "counts" as feminism— Fifty-One Key Feminist Thinkers offers reader a thought-provoking vision of the past and future of feminist theory. Cristina Beltrán, Associate Professor, Department of Social and Cultural Analysis, New York University, USALori Marso has done an artful job of selecting authors to tell the stories of feminism. This is a delightful collection of the intellectual contributions of a range of feminist thinkers.Falguni A. Sheth, Associate Professor of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Emory UniversityFifty-One Key Feminist Thinkers, edited by Lori J. Marso, is a timely and notably well-pitched intervention into feminism’s recent and distant pasts. The book is a collection of short biographical and critical chapters in a neat reference work that will be indispensable to students and researchers new to feminist thinking, or to those wishing to refresh their knowledge.The fifty-one short articles here are remarkable achievements in their brevity combined with significant coverage of key biographical details, works, debates and controversies attached to each thinker. These are accompanied by a list of the thinkers in historical order, and an excellent index. The volume is therefore suited ideally to the fast pace of research and teaching today, and will appeal to even the most Google-enamoured undergraduate in its navigable and readable style and organization.One of the pleasures of this book is its range of styles, which never detract from the chapters’ authoritative summaries of complex ideas.Leanne Bibby, The Year’s Work in Critical and Cultural Theory (vol.24, 2017)Table of Contents Abigail Adams (1744-1818), (Patricia Moynagh) Chantal Akerman (1950-2015), (Lori Marso) Gloria Anzaldúa (1942-2004), (AnaLouise Keating) Mary Astell (1666-1731), (Patricia Springborg) Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986), (Lori Marso) Judith Butler (1956-), (Birgit Schippers) Octavia Butler (1947-2006), (adrienne maree brown and Ayana Jamieson) Rachel Carson (1907-1964), (Lynda Walsh) Anna Julia Cooper (1858-1964), (Penny Weiss) Mary Daly (1928-2010), (Krista Ratcliffe) Angela Davis (1944-), (Lisa Guenther) Christine Delphy (1941-), (Lisa Disch) Anne Fausto-Sterling (1944-), (Evelyn Hammonds) Shulamith Firestone (1945-2012), (Kathi Weeks) Betty Friedan (1921-2006), (Rebecca Jo Plant) Margaret Fuller (1810-1850), (Jeffrey Steele) Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935), (Cynthia Davis) Emma Goldman (1869-1940), (Kathy Ferguson) Olympe de Gouges (1748-1793), (Ariella Azoulay) Donna Haraway (1944-), (Jana Sawicki) bell hooks (1952-), (Namulundah Florence) Nora Neale Hurston (1891-1960), (Deborah G.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Focus Groups
Book SynopsisFocus Groups: From Structured Interviews to Collective Conversations is a conceptual and practical introduction to focus group. As the title indicates, focus groups traditionally encompass a wide range of discursive practices. These span from formal structured interviews with particular people assembled around clearly delimited topics to less formal, open-ended conversations with large and small groups that can unfold in myriad and unpredictable ways. Additionally, focus groups can and have served many overlapping purposesfrom the pedagogical, to the political, to the traditionally empirical. In this book, focus groups are systematically explored; not as an extension or elaboration of interview work alone, but as its own specific research method with its own particular affordances. This book comprehensively explores: The nature of focus groups Politic and activist uses of focus groups Practical wTable of Contents1. Focus Groups: A Brief and Incomplete History 2. Multiple, Interrelated Functions of Focus Group Work 3. Key Affordances of Focus Group Research 4. Fundamental Elements of Effective Focus Group Research Practice 5. Contemporary Dilemmas and Horizons of Focus Group Research 6. Epilogue
