How survivors of the Covid-19 pandemic battling long-term disabling conditions are fighting for recognition and research—and helping to transform healthcare for many overlooked diseases. To the world’s public health authorities, Covid-19 would be either a deadly disease for some or a simple respiratory illness for most, its symptoms clearing up in just a matter of weeks. But then tens of millions around the world got sick and stayed sick. With scientists and doctors caught off guard, these Long Covid patients often found solace only with one another, organizing support groups across oceans and continents while ill in bed. In The Long Haul, CNN journalist Ryan Prior weaves his own life, t...
Based on a cross-cultural approach to defining and implementing international standards of human and minority rights, this book aims to explore the most plausible way to enhance Sino-Western dialogue on minority rights. Having identified and examined the ideological and practical difficulties that such dialogical events have encountered and will continue to encounter in the future, the book focuses particularly on the role of culture in intercultural communication and on analysing it in conjunction with the complex and intertwined impact of other forces, be they historical, political, social or emotional. The author has successfully found ways to overcome some of the difficulties and to further utilise intercultural dialogue as a conflict management strategy in the field of minority rights. The book will appeal to scholars, postgraduate students, NGOs and policy makers in the fields of human and minority rights with a particular interest in multiculturalism, intercultural dialogue and human and minority rights in China.

Ecofeminism is an emerging field of literary study which seeks to explore the interconnections between feminism and ecology, green studies and market economy, and globalization and the politics of care. It also examines the idea of nature as a mother figure, and the world being begotten by the celestial intercourse between Nature, the Mother and God, the Father. This branch of study is taking center stage in the realm of gender studies, but it is yet to develop into a full school of thought, as new dimensions are constantly being attached to it. This volume seeks to take a multi-disciplinary approach to address the issues most pertinent to ecofeminism, and to do so from various perspectives, so that any sort of hegemonic categorization may be avoided.

An exposé of the gender gap in entrepreneurship and a road map for a more inclusive and economically successful future for us all Journalist and professor Susanne Althoff investigates the obstacles women and nonbinary entrepreneurs—especially those of color—face when launching, funding, and growing their companies, obstacles that persist because the current start-up world was engineered by and for white men. Through interviews with over a hundred founders across the country and in all industries, Althoff paints a picture of an entrepreneurial system rife with bias and discrimination, where women receive less than 3 percent of this country’s venture capital, struggle to find mentors in...
