Crossing Borders and Shifting Boundaries
This volume introduces a gender dimension and provides new insights in the issues like nationalism and racism, identity building, transnational networking, citizenship and democracy.
Partnering with Parents
Internationally recognized as the gold standard in providing services to children with special needs and their family members, family-centred practice has developed substantially over the past two decades. However, there has not been until now a basic practice text for guiding professional education and skill building across diverse areas. Filling this significant gap, Partnering with Parents is a primer on family-centred practice for professionals working in children’s health and developmental services. The material in this textbook spans interdisciplinary training across key child service sectors (particularly child development, child mental health, and children’s health). The authors identify and discuss the key principles of the model as it is practiced in Canada, with a focus on working alliances, empowerment methods, and the development of social support resources. Providing examples of the application of family-centred practice in a wide range of service settings, Partnering with Parents will be useful for the social workers, nurses, psychologists, and allied health professionals who work together in complex service situations.
Gender History Across Epistemologies
Gender History Across Epistemologies offers broad range of innovative approaches to gender history. The essays reveal how historians of gender are crossing boundaries - disciplinary, methodological, and national - to explore new opportunities for viewing gender as a category of historical analysis.

Changing Gender Norms in Islam Between Reason and Revelation
Women‘s movements in Islamic countries have had a long and arduous journey in their quest for the realization of human rights and genuine equality. The author examines whether discriminatory laws against women do in fact originate from Islam and, ultimately, if there is any interpretation of Islam compatible with gender equality. She investigates women’s rights in Iran since the 1979 Revolution from the perspectives of the main currents of Islamic thought, fundamentalists, reformists, and seculars, using a sociological explanation.
Gender Orders Unbound?

Queering Motherhood: Narrative and Theoretical Perspectives

The list of contributors includes emerging writers as well as established scholars and activists such as Gary Kinsman, Damien Riggs, Christa Craven, Cary Costello, Elizabeth Peel, and Rachel Epstein.

Gleichstellung in progress
Der Band thematisiert aktuelle Herausforderungen für Gleichstellungspolitik und die notwendige Weiterentwicklung gleichstellungspolitischer Konzepte, um Exklusionsmechanismen effektiv adressieren zu können. Die Beiträge diskutieren dies an der Schnittstelle zwischen Forschung und Politik sowie anhand konkreter Beispiele.
Digital Diversity
Vor dem Hintergrund kultureller Diversität und dem medialen Wandel ergibt sich die Herausforderung, die Begriffe Bildung und Lernen theoretisch zu diskutieren und deren Anforderungsprofile im Kontext pädagogischer Praxis neu auszuloten. Der Sammelband thematisiert feldübergreifend in den Bereichen Erwachsenenbildung, Soziale Arbeit, Medienpädagogik und Hochschulbildung die Effekte der Digitalisierung und zeigt auf, wie ein diversitätssensibler Umgang mit Bildung und Lernen im Kontext gesellschaftlicher Transformationen gelingen kann.
Epistemologie und Differenz
Welche Kategorien und Prozesse haben teil am Wandel der Reproduktion des Wissens? Und: Wie hat sich das Wissen über Reproduktion seinerseits geschichtlich gewandelt? Dieser transdisziplinäre Band beleuchtet das Verhältnis von Wissen und Reproduktion in so unterschiedlichen Feldern und Räumen wie Labor, Weberei und Theater, Kritischer Weißseinsforschung, Anthropologie und Mathematik. Die Beiträge zeigen, dass auch die Entwicklung von Neuem Wiederholung und Differenz erfordert. Sie plädieren für ein reflektierendes »Wieder-Holen«, das Differenz produktiv macht.
