Gender and Food in Transnational East Asias
Gender and Food in Transnational East Asias illustrates how the production and consumption of food encapsulates the changes that affect social positions of women and men and their relationships with their families, the state, and their work, as well as shapes their gender, sexual, ethnic, and national identities. The transnational movement of food and people between East Asia and the rest of the world is increasingly visible, forming various forces behind the cultural and political constructions of gender politics among and beyond Asian diasporas. By critically engaging with history, practices, and representation of food as a constructive window to articulate gender dynamics in the East Asian region, this volume approaches food as a symbolic and material site where gender roles and identities are imagined, performed, and negotiated. It argues that a critical engagement with practices and representations of food from gender perspectives can enhance our understanding of the society and culture of transnational East Asias.
Living across connectivity
This volume fills a major gap in publications on migration and digital media worlds by bringing information and communication technology (ICT) to the fore of our understanding of migrants’ experiences in, and practices of, connectivity and mobility. During recent decades, migration within and from East Asia has become paradigmatic of the changing substance and patterns of global mobility. Focusing on migration within and beyond East Asia, a region defined by its global migration and its leading role in ICT use and development, this volume explores the pervasive use of smartphones as an everyday reality for East Asian migrants, advocating the necessity of understanding how they live their lives both online and offline. In this respect, the originality of this volume lies in its interdisciplinary analysis of migrants’ activities at the crossroads between physical and digital spaces. Our theoretical innovation and empirical findings will open an avenue to investigate the novel shape and scales of contemporary connectivity and mobility.
Maternités académiques et pandémie
La visée de cet ouvrage est de donner une visibilité particulière aux situations rencontrées par les mères et les personnes assumant un rôle parental dans le contexte académique pendant et à la suite de la pandémie de COVID-19. Trois axes interreliés et non exclusifs balisent l'ouvrage : la spatialité, les temporalités et l’accès aux réseaux de soutien. Cet ouvrage constitue un important matériel pédagogique pour les cours universitaires touchant aux enjeux d’équité, de diversité et d’inclusion.
Équité, diversité et inclusion dans les organisations sportives
Les femmes, les personnes en situation de handicap et les personnes LGBTQ2S+ sont davantage présentes sur la scène sportive, mais des transformations importantes demeurent à faire dans les organisations afin que ces personnes soient mieux représentées et incluses dans l’ensemble des disciplines sportives. Cet ouvrage, issu d’un projet de recherche réalisé auprès de responsables d’organisations sportives, d’entraîneuses et d’entraîneurs, d’athlètes, de personnes expertes et autres parties prenantes du milieu, propose des pistes de solution concrètes aux organisations sous la forme de bonnes pratiques en matière d’équité, de diversité et d’inclusion (EDI).

Gender-Based Violence in Children’s Sport
This book addresses the major forms of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in children’s sport, including sexual, physical, and psychological violence and neglect. It reviews the historical, sociocultural, and political influences on violence towards children, and sets out future agendas for research and practice to eliminate GBV in sport. The book argues that for GBV to occur and be sustained over time, it must be facilitated by a system that enables this violence, protects the perpetrator, disables bystanders, silences the victims, and/or fails to provide a structure by which to address victims’ or bystanders’ concerns. Drawing on empirical research from across a range of disciplines, includ...
The Beauty Paradox
Why must beauty be seen as a binary that is either oppressive or empowering for women? The Beauty Paradox: Femininity in the Age of Selfies argues that women’s experiences of beauty as both validating and belittling is grounded in the contradictory injunctions that they receive regarding their participation in beauty culture. Piazzesi identifies the four main paradoxes of Western beauty culture: the worth paradox, the authenticity paradox, the power paradox, and the commitment paradox and examines how they trail women’s everyday experiences, choices, and reflections regarding beauty. She examines the role of beauty in women’s everyday lives and in a variety of contexts: informal social encounters, work and career settings, parenting, intergenerational relationships, self-care, and online networking practices. The author broadens the current discourse on beauty with an emphasis on the digital world, primarily the use of selfies.

Les femmes dans des professions traditionnellement masculines
Malgré des avancées politiques et juridiques en faveur de l’égalité au Québec, la progression et la rétention des femmes dans les secteurs traditionnellement masculins demeurent inégales. Comment expliquer les écarts de progression de carrière des femmes dans ces milieux? Dans les trajectoires de carrière, quels sont les enjeux qui peuvent expliquer la progression ou non des femmes? Quelles sont les pratiques organisationnelles porteuses de changement? Ce livre présente les résultats d’une recherche multidisciplinaire réalisée sur le terrain auprès d’organisations de divers secteurs.

Aesthetic Labour
This volume approaches questions about gender and the politics of appearance from a new perspective by developing the notion of aesthetic labour. Bringing together feminist writing regarding the ‘beauty myth’ with recent scholarship about new forms of work, the book suggests that in this moment of ubiquitous photography, social media, and 360 degree surveillance, women are increasingly required to be 'aesthetic entrepreneurs’, maintaining a constant state of vigilance about their appearance. The collection shows that this work is not just on the surface of bodies, but requires a transformation of subjectivity itself, characterised by notions of personal choice, risk-taking, self-manage...
