Peace and Security
Offering a broad overview of what is being done in conflict-affected countries to advance women's participation in peace processes, peace building, and decision making, this record examines the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on "Women, Peace, and Security" and presents evidence-based case studies from East Timor, Fiji, and Sri Lanka. As it explores ways to protect women and girls from violence, it suggests key actions that should be taken by development agencies, women's nongovernmental organizations, and policymakers. The book focuses on the following fundamental aspects: a specifically feminist methodology, a priority on gender equality and women's empowerment, and the broad notions of human security and peace building.
Women-Of-faith Peacebuilders
Who are women-of-faith in the context of politics and peacebuilding? What do they do, and why do they do it? This book explores these questions. It examines the challenges, achievements, and motivations of women peacebuilders who are driven by their faith to enhance gender equality, justice, and security. Women-of-faith peacebuilders make major contributions to attentive, relational, compassionate, and community-based peacebuilding, thus promoting the mandate of UN Security Council 1325 on Women, Peace, and Security.

Researching Conflict in Africa
Parts of Africa experience persistent violence and seemingly intractable conflicts. These violent conflicts have drawn researchers seeking to determine and explain why conflicts are prevalent, what makes them intensify, and how conflicts can be resolved. This book examines the ethical and practical issues of researching within violent and divided societies. It provides fascinating and factual case studies from Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Nigeria, Rwanda and South Africa. The authors provide insights about researching conflict in Africa that can only be gained through fieldwork experience.
Women and Moral Identity
A discussion of the relationship between feminism and philosophy, and the importance of gender in the evolution of our moral identities. It is argued that it is possible to develop a concept of moral identity which includes both women and men. The author teaches feminist and social theory at the Flinders University of South Australia.
Building Good Families in a Changing World
This book attempts something apparently unusual in sociology: a discussion of the family in the context of traditional ideas of the good, virtue and morality. The book is timely, because family relationships are in distress, and it offers an analysis and proposes possibly helpful solutions.
