Towards a New Understanding of Masculine Habitus and Women and Leadership in Public Relations
"This edited volume analyses leadership in the public relations (PR) industry with a specific focus on women and their leadership styles and preferences. It looks at how women lead, the influence of the socialization process on leadership styles, the difference between feminine and masculine leadership styles, and the impact of leadership style on career opportunities for women. The book features case studies exploring leadership in public relations around the world in an attempt to answer a central research question: is there a masculine habitus in the PR industry despite the rise of women in public relations? The authors of each chapter conducted original interviews with women working in P...
Women and the Media in Capitalism and Socialism
A close look at who shapes the news--and how that affects women. Women and the Media in Capitalism and Socialism examines the news media in capitalist, socialist, and mixed governments to understand the position of women--both their work as journalists and their perception by readers and viewers. Drawing on case studies from around the world, the contributors ask: Who creates the news about women? Who is empowered to act as a news source? And what is the impact? The contributors then apply these questions to an array of examples, including sports journalists in the United Kingdom, reports about violence against women in Spain, news creation in Nigeria, and media representation of female politicians in Croatia. Grounded in ecofeminism, the volume argues that women hold unequal positions in both capitalist and socialist societies and that these imbalances can only be erased through structural changes. This exciting international collaboration contributes to research on women in the media and grows our understanding of how gender inequities are experienced in different political economies.
Workplace Culture in Mass Communication Industries

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Affairs in the British Press
An ecofeminist criticism of neoliberalism, this book uses economic growth, CSR and the press coverage of environmental affairs as a case study. The author argues that CSR is part of a wheel of neoliberalism that continually perpetuates inequality and the exploitation of women and Nature. Using an ecofeminist sense-making analysis of media coverage of food waste, global warming, plastic, economic growth and CSR, the author shows how the press discourse in writing is always similar and serves to preserve the status quo with CSR being just a smokescreen that saved capitalism and just one cog in the wheel of neoliberalism. While available research offers perspectives from business and public rel...
Religion in the Post-Yugoslav Context
Religion in the Post-Yugoslav Context brings together a diverse group of scholars, each of them specializing in the role of religion in one of the Yugoslav successor states. In addition to providing the readership with the understanding of both the general context (religion during the disintegration of the Yugoslav state) as well as more specific aspects (individual post-Yugoslav states), this rich collection complements the existing research in the fields of religious studies and political science. It represents an important source for scholars and students interested in the post-Yugoslav dynamic. Moreover, this kind of analysis is of major relevance for state and non-state actors involved in promotion of religious tolerance.
The Psychology of Fraud, Persuasion and Scam Techniques
The Psychology of Fraud, Persuasion and Scam Techniques provides an in-depth explanation of not only why we fall for scams and how fraudsters use technology and other techniques to manipulate others, but also why fraud prevention advice is not always effective.

It explains how fraud has become increasingly sophisticated and how fraudsters use communication, deception and theories of rationality, cognition and judgmental heuristics, as well as specific persuasion and scam techniques, to encou...

Handbook of Research on Connecting Philosophy, Media, and Development in Developing Countries
Developing nations have been experimenting with different models and theories in their quest for development for decades but are missing some critical elements when mirrored or judged via a Westernized lens. In order for these countries to successfully establish their identity and address issues that have held them back in the past, further study on the use of media and philosophy in correlation with development must be conducted. The Handbook of Research on Connecting Philosophy, Media, and Development in Developing Countries examines how media can be utilized to bridge the gap between the past and the future for developing countries and drive sustainable development. The book also seeks to reimagine development within developing regions through the prism of their unique cultures, religions, media, and philosophies so they can take hold of their identity and portrayals within the international arena. Covering topics such as human development, new media, language, and culture, this major reference work is ideal for government officials, policymakers, scholars, researchers, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Europe as a Multiple Modernity
Europe as a Multiple Modernity: Multiplicity of Religious Identities and Belonging challenges the predominant modernity theory arguing that Europe can be considered as one multiple modernity. In that, the book presents a collection of essays showing the plurality of discourses and variety in human self-reflexion on notions of religious and belonging in everyday lives. Emphasis is placed on religious actors and individuals in Europe, and the multiplicity of their senses of religious identification and belonging.
