Beauty*Licious
The lectures gathered in this 1886 publication were delivered by August Boeckh in the years 1809–1865. The German classicist introduces his understanding of philology as a discipline that is not solely the study of language but also a subject incorporating historical and philosophical elements. The work is divided into two parts: the first provides the formal theory behind Boeckh's philological inquiries into the areas of hermeneutics and critique. The second and more substantial part of the book is a wide-ranging study of the history of Antiquity as well as an account of the methodology that Boeckh employs. He examines Greek and Roman public and private life, and considers different aspects of religion. Boeckh also gives an overview of different expressions of art such as architecture and painting, music and drama; and lastly he engages with the history of language and explains what lies behind etymology and syntax.
International Regulation of Gene Editing Technologies in Crops
This open access book analyzes the regulation and governance of gene editing in the global agrifood system as applications of gene editing, regulations and the intellectual property landscape continue to evolve. The primary focus of the manuscript is the dynamic interactions between regulatory frameworks and agricultural applications of gene editing in plant breeding. The goal is to give readers a holistic perspective on why the status of gene editing in agricultural applications is in a state of flux in some jurisdictions (e.g., the European Union) while more settled in others (e.g., Canada). Readers are provided with a clearer picture of what the future might hold for the use of gene editing in agriculture as a means to address food insecurity as the climate crisis grows and amid global geopolitical and economic turbulence.
Food Security in an Uncertain World
International trade agreements are central to food security. Food security and poverty are also linked. Even with increased productivity, problems attached to food security cannot be solved without significant changes in income distribution.
Gender-Based Violence in Migration
With contributions from a diverse array of international scholars, this edited volume offers a renewed understanding of gender-based violence (GBV) by examining its social and political dimensions in migration contexts. This book engages micro, meso, and macro levels of analysis by foregrounding a conceptualization of GBV that addresses both its interpersonal and structural causes. Chapters explore how GBV frameworks and migration management intersect, bringing to the forefront the specific inequalities these intersections produce for migrant women. Drawing upon several disciplines, the authors engage in co-writing a critical engagement which proposes an original understanding of how the concepts of intersectionality, vulnerability and precarity speak to each other from a feminist perspective. This volume will be of interest to scholars/researchers and policymakers in Gender Studies, Migration and Refugee Studies, Sociology, Political Science, Trauma Studies, Human Rights and Socio-Legal Studies.
Gender and the Contours of Precarious Employment
Precarious employment presents a challenge to the social, economic, and political stability of labour markets in industrialized societies and there is widespread consensus that its growth is contributing to a series of common social inequalities, especially along the lines of gender and citizenship. This collection aims to yield new ways of understanding the forces driving labour market insecurity.
Women and Gendered Violence in Canada
Violence against women is usually framed as an issue of interpersonal violence perpetuated by men. While domestic violence and sexual assault are significant social problems, such a narrow framing obscures the diversity of women's experience, fails to illuminate the role social structures play, and excludes discussions of workplace and state violence. By drawing on a range of theoretical traditions emerging from feminism, criminology, and sociology, Women and Gendered Violence in Canada significantly expands the conversation on violence against women. The first section of the book develops the conceptual and contextual framework that informs the remainder of the text, and the following three sections are organized around types of victimization: interpersonal, labour site, and state. Each chapter ends with lists of suggested activities, and first person narratives are integrated throughout to personalize the material and issues being examined.
In Pursuit of Climate Resilience
Our environment is affected by several factors; namely: physiographic, biotic and climatic. Across the globe, we are witnessing several climatic events. Although the climate is a common concern of humankind but human activities itself, have been substantially contributing to the enhancement of concentrations of greenhouse gases. The change in climate is attributed directly as well as indirectly to human actions, affecting the totality of the biosphere. This book is a humble attempt to bring some of the multidisciplinary aspects relating to Climate Change. An effort has been made to maintain the original plan of this first environmental law publication and its distinctive qualities of explain...
