Women Becoming Practitioner Researchers
Early career researchers (ECRs) in education bring unique histories of professional practice and development into academic research communities. Women Becoming Practitioner Researchers explores autoethnographies of twelve women who were, or still are, schoolteachers in the process of becoming researchers. Using autoethnography to disrupt the established systems that distance researchers from their research, the chapters in this volume are curated to apply theory to this important transition. This theory as method approach provides a foundation for understanding as the authors’ weave threads of identities and experiences into their roles as practitioner researchers.
The Geology of Chile
This book is the first comprehensive account in English of the geology of Chile, providing a key reference work that brings together many years of research, and written mostly by Chilean authors from various universities and other centres of research excellence. The 13 chapters begin with a general overview, followed by detailed accounts of Andean tectonostratigraphy and magmatism, the amazingly active volcanism, the world class ore deposits that have proven to be so critical to the welfare of the country, and Chilean water resources. The subject then turns to geophysics with an examination of neotectonics and earthquakes, the hazardous frequency of which is a daily fact of life for the Chil...
The Gender-Sensitive University
The Gender-Sensitive University explores the prevailing forces that pose obstacles to driving a gender-sensitive university, which include the emergence of far-right movements that seek to subvert advances towards gender equality and managerialism that promotes creeping corporatism. This book demonstrates that awareness of gender equality and gender sensitivity are essential for pulling contemporary academia back from the brink. New forms of leadership are fundamental to reforming our institutions. The concept of a gender-sensitive university requires re-envisioning academia to meet these challenges, as does a different engagement of men and a shift towards fluidity in how gender is formulat...
Freshwater Biodiversity
Fresh waters are disproportionately rich in species, and represent global hotspots of biodiversity. However, they are also hotspots of endangerment.
Estado e controle de constitucionalidade no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro
A presente obra representa a maturação do pensamento e o esforço empreendido pelo autor, com o escopo de se analisar o processo de formação e desenvolvimento do Estado sob um enfoque histórico evolutivo. Como responsável por disciplinar as relações sociais, atribuíram-lhe competências e prerrogativas ante o cidadão, para que detivesse poder de império, sobrepairando – na maioria das vezes – o interesse coletivo em detrimento do individual. Contudo, para se evitar ou corrigir o cometimento de arbitrariedades desenvolveram-se diversos mecanismos, entre os quais se encontra o controle de constitucionalidade de leis e atos normativos do poder público. Neste livro, analisaram-se o seu surgimento, o seu desenvolvimento, as suas modalidades e as diversas consequências que ensejam. Por fim, demonstrou-se como e por que o Estado deve ser responsabilizado civilmente pela edição de leis ou atos normativos inconstitucionais, visto a frustração da legítima expectativa de seus cidadãos em não ter os seus direitos violados, justamente por quem foi criado para – em ultima ratio – defendê-los.
The Empire of the Cities
This study of the Spanish monarchy, bureaucracy and representative government under Charles V before and after the "comunero" revolt (1520-1521) demonstrates how the emperor and Castilian republics institutionalized management procedures that promoted accountability, advanced a meritocracy, and facilitated expansionism and domestic stability.
