Telemental Health in Resource-limited Global Settings
This edited volume covers the implementation of telemental health (TMH) in resource-limited global settings. It focuses on the current state of the technology, the different modalities, and the emergence of mobile-health
Health in Diversity – Diversity in Health
European public discourse often frames (forced) migration solely as a security issue and ignores the implications of societal diversity for health, quality-of-life and well-being, in both Africa and Europe. The present volume offers an interdisciplinary and international look at the relationship between refugees, diversity, and health, including health care policies, socio-political framework conditions, environmental factors, the situation in refugee camps, quality-of-life approaches and economical perspectives.
Telemedicine in Low-Resource Settings
Telemedicine networks to support healthcare workers in resource-limited settings (often for humanitarian purposes) have evolved over the last decade or so in a largely autonomous way. Communication between them has been informal and relatively limited in scope. This situation could be improved by developing a comprehensive approach to the collection and dissemination of information. A recent review identified seven telemedicine networks, each of which had been in operation for at least five years and which provided store-and-forward telemedicine services to doctors in low- and middle-income countries. These networks provide clinically useful services and improved healthcare access. However, ...

Imagining Justice for Syria
Focused on the international community's response to the conflict in Syria, this is a book about the inexorable quest for justice, even in the face of seemingly impenetrable obstacles erected by actors intent on ensuring impunity. It features a number of creative ideas emerging from states and civil society actors intent on pursuing justice for atrocities in Syria
The Conflict in Syria and the Failure of International Law to Protect People Globally
This book explores, through the lens of the conflict in Syria, why international law and the United Nations have failed to halt conflict and massive human rights violations in many places around the world which has allowed tens of millions of people to be killed and hundreds of millions more to be harmed. The work presents a critical socio-legal analysis of the failures of international law and the United Nations (UN) to deal with mass atrocities and conflict. It argues that international law, in the way it is set up and operates, falls short in dealing with these issues in many respects. The argument is that international law is state-centred rather than victim-friendly, is, to some extent,...
Violent Intimacies
In Violent Intimacies, Aslı Zengin traces how trans people in Turkey creatively negotiate and resist everyday cisheteronormative violence. Drawing on the history and ethnography of the trans communal life in Istanbul, Zengin develops an understanding of cisheteronormative violence that expands beyond sex, gender and sexuality. She shows how cisheteronormativity forms a connective tissue among neoliberal governmentality, biopolitical and necropolitical regimes, nationalist religiosity and authoritarian management of social difference. As much as trans people are shaped by these processes, they also transform them in intimate ways. Transness in Turkey provides an insightful site for developin...
Societies Emerging from Conflict
Does the proliferation of post-atrocity remedies over the past 25-plus years—the human rights movement, reparations and other justice schemes, and memorials and counter-memorials—suggest promising alternatives to retributive criminal proceedings? Or does it mean that very little so far is working? This collection of essays, written by scholars with ties to Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Canada, Ghana, Indonesia, Iraq, and the United States, argues that a new post-atrocity framework is taking root. In search for a more reliably favorable post-atrocity succession, the volume’s contributors weigh the merits of practices circumventing the state, whose anemic performance has failed to manage large-s...
Temporary Shelter
TEMPORARY SHELTER is based on the life of Russian poet Anna Akhmatova. It begins during during turbulent political times when Anna meets poet Nikolay Gumilev. Nikolay charms Anna into falling in love with him. He also creates a place for her in his free-spirited, Bohemian world. She forges her identity as a poet through love and loss, longing and tragedy. While society is undergoing a transformation, Anna is experiencing a personal one. She can't always rely on Nikolay. She must learn to rely on herself and her poetry. A scintillating and poetic novel, brimming with imagination, historical details, and profound emotional truths.--Jennifer Croft A thoroughly timely novel about the past. Jennings envisions Anna Akhmatova struggling against gender expectations and heteronormativity-even among fellow bohemians in 1910s St. Petersburg. Through many challenges, Akhmatova in TEMPORARY SHELTER remains committed to her individual identity and purpose. The novel is gorgeously written; Jennings's background as a poet and translator shines with imagery that is at once surprising and precise, sparse and sensuous.--Olga Livshin Fiction
