Menstruation in Nepal
This book examines the complexities of menstrual beliefs and practices in Nepal. Taking an interdisciplinary and intersectional approach, it explores and promotes the rights of women, girls, and people who menstruate to a dignified and healthy menstruation. The volume • collates current research in Nepal from local academics, early career researchers, and the Dignity Without Danger research project; • provides a more nuanced understanding of the complex stigmas and taboos that surround menstruation; • highlights the importance of rethinking ideas of religion, gender, menstruation, stigma and taboos, cultural practises, and discrimination; • proposes a counter-narrative that places sociological studies at the heart of the discussion surrounding menstruation; and • calls for more collaborative action research to strengthen the links between academia and activism across disciplines. An authoritative contribution, the book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of gender studies, public health, sociology, human rights, South Asian studies, medical sociology, cultural studies, and social medicine, particularly for those concerned with Nepal.

Whole School Approaches to Sustainability
In response to urgent global sustainability challenges, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Global Citizenship Education have been prioritized in the United Nations’ Agenda 2030 under SDG 4.7. There is a growing awareness that treating concepts such as global citizenship, sustainable development, climate urgency, and health and well-being as separate subjects or topics to be added to a curriculum is ineffective as they are highly interconnected. Additionally, this approach is problematic as schools already have an overcrowded curriculum. This edited volume brings together a range of scholars and reflective practitioners from across the globe who are investigating and enacting a...

How Does a Society Change?
One of the most challenging questions of today concerns how human activities threaten the conditions for our very own existence. With one crisis leading into the next, the need for socio-political change is necessary and desirable, yet so hard to imagine in practice. At the heart of the matter is a deeper crisis of the socio-political imagination. To understand how a society produces and changes itself, Ingerid S. Straume points to historical and contemporary institutions and the imaginaries they embody, and argues that the key to social creativity is found in the reflexive potential of institutions, especially politics and education. Neoliberal rationality, on its part, has become dominant ...

Antropocen
Menneskets påvirkning på klima, atmosfære og natur er blitt så dyptgripende at vi har gått inn i en ny epoke i jordas historie, som kalles antropocen – menneskets tidsalder. Menneskelig aktivitet fører til endringer som får store konsekvenser for livet på kloden, ikke minst for oss selv, og med ringvirkninger langt frem i tid. Tidligere var det et mål å kontrollere og utnytte naturen. Nå må vi lære oss å leve i naturen på en ny måte. Dette får også konsekvenser for måten vi tenker om mennesket og vår plass i økologien på. I denne antologien forklarer forskere fra ulike fag den nye sammenhengen mellom menneske og natur som kjennetegner antropocen. De viser hvor viktig ...
¿Qué es la dimensión de género en el ámbito de la investigación? Casos de estudio en la investigación interdisciplinar
A LO LARGO DE LOS ÚLTIMOS AÑOS, la dimensión de género ha ido recibiendo cada vez más atención en cuanto al contenido se refiere. Uno de los motivos es que la incorporación de la perspectiva de género mejora la calidad de la investigación e innovación. Según la Comisión Europea y diversos organismos nacionales financiadores de la investigación, la dimensión de género debería incluirse en la investigación cuando sea relevante. Sin embargo, ¿qué quiere decir “dimensión o perspectiva de género”? y ¿cuándo es relevante? EN ESTA GUÍA nos dirigimos a investigadoras e investigadores y a otros miembros de la comunidad investigadora que sientan curiosidad sobre qué conlle...
