The Catholic Church still takes an ambivalent stance toward homosexuality, declaring that homosexuals should be respected and not discriminated against while morally condemning their intimate relationships. This volume presents exegetical, theological, and ethical arguments as well as evidence from the human sciences to advocate for the recognition of homosexuality as a natural variant of the human capacities to love and to form relationships.
Whether in classrooms, in workplaces, on social media, on college campuses, at public venues, or within the political arena, subtle as well as blatant sexism and misogyny still permeate society on many levels.

They can devastate self-esteem, emotional and physical health, academic achievements, and personal ambitions.

Over the last decade workforce diversity has attracted much scientific attention. Given the shortage of literature on issues related to homosexual, bisexual and transgender employees, compared to other facets of workforce diversity, this book opens up new perspectives on this issue. Emphasis is placed on the equal consideration of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender issues. Thus the predominance of lesbian and gay issues in LGBT research (and practice), will be contrasted by an explicit consideration of the unique experiences, stressors and related needs of bisexual and transgender employees. Contributions provide deeper insights into the differing experiences the whole spectrum of LGBT employees make in the workplace in different national and occupational contexts. Furthermore, the collection offers contextualized insights for evaluating and conceptualizing organizational initiatives aiming at a higher level of inclusion for LGBT employees.

Second-Generation South Asian Britons: A Narrative Inquiry into Multilingualism, Heritage Languages, and Diasporic Identity uses the narratives of seven high-professional, second-generation South Asian Britons to explore issues related to Heritage Language learning and maintenance, discourses of identity and the practices of multicultural families in the UK. Through semi-structured interviews conducted in English, the participants of the study provide articulate and reflective accounts of the language dynamics in the families they grew up in, the communities and environs of their childhood, their young adulthoods and their current lives as parents of dual-heritage children. By investigating both the stories that they tell and how they tell them, this study offers insights into how monolingual narratives can be used to comment on multilingualism.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 'A riveting read that will challenge you to rethink your core beliefs' Adam Grant 'Absolutely spot-on, timely message' Chip Heath 'A vision for collective change' Arianna Huffington Tribalism is our most misunderstood buzzword.

But as acclaimed cultural psychologist and Columbia professor Michael Morris argues, our tribal instincts are humanity's secret weapon. Ours is the only species that lives in tribes: groups glued together by their distinctive cultures that can grow to a scale far beyond clans...
Significant contextual changes over the past few decades have suggested that mother-focused models of science do not accurately capture fathers’ involvement as caregivers and coparents. Extant research, such as the study from Cabrera and their team in 2018, has debunked myths that paint fathers solely as secondary caregivers, “hands off” parents, and absent fathers. On the contrary, recent studies have suggested that fathers exert significant direct and indirect influences on child development and partner relationship quality via coparenting – how parents work with or against each other to care for their children (e.g. the studies from Farr & Patterson in 2013; Kuo and their team in ...
