24 Hours in Charlottesville
A gripping account of racial justice activists who confronted violent white supremacists in Charlottesville, VA, and stirred the nation On August 11 and 12, 2017, armed neo-Nazi demonstrators descended on the University of Virginia campus and downtown Charlottesville. When they assaulted antiracist counterprotesters, the police failed to intervene, and events culminated in the murder of counterprotestor Heather Heyer. In this book, Emmy-nominated journalist and former Charlottesville resident Nora Neus crafts an extraordinary account from the voices of the students, faith leaders, politicians, and community members who were there. Through a vivid collage of original interviews, new statement...
Sad Happens
A beautifully illustrated, celebratory anthology exploring sadness—and the transformative power of tears. When was the last time you cried? Was it because you were sad? Or happy? Overwhelmed, or frustrated? Maybe from relief or from pride? Was it in public or in private? Did you feel better afterwards, or worse? The reasons that we cry—and the circumstances in which we shed a tear—are often surprising and beautiful. Sad Happens is a collective, multi-faceted archive of tears that captures the complexity and variety of these circumstances. We hear from Mike Birbiglia on the role that grief and pain have in comedy; Jia Tolentino on how motherhood made her cry in both hormonal joy and fer...
Challenges in Science Education
This edited volume focuses on challenges facing science education across three areas: curriculum, teacher education, and pedagogy.

The contributors, leading experts in the field, help students enhance their understanding of the importance of state-local relations in the U.S. federal system, argue for better analysis of the consequences of state-local relations for the quality of policy outcomes, and introduce them to public service career opportunities in state and local government.
Conspiracy Theories and Extremism in New Times
Conspiracy Theories and Extremism in New Times outlines a cadre of alt-right groups, conspiracy theories, and other forms of stigmatized knowledge threatening our society. In an era dominated by the pervasive influence of social media, the scholarly gaze has often overlooked the ways far-right factions leverage these platforms to propagate anti-democratic ideologies. From the denial of the moon landing to the enigmatic labyrinth of QAnon, and a myriad of other alt-right groups in between, this anthology presents a compelling case for the continued relevancy of the Frankfurt School of Critical Social Theory. Uncover the intricate web connecting these ideologies to everyday life, and arm yourself with the critical insights needed to navigate the turbulent currents of our modern socio-political landscape.
Chi ha paura del gender?
In tutto il mondo il gender è sempre più spesso descritto come un mostro dai poteri distruttivi. A sentire chi diffonde il panico, il gender sarebbe una minaccia per la famiglia tradizionale, una negazione delle leggi di natura, un complotto delle élite, un attacco diretto alla mascolinità, Satana in persona, un pericolo per la vita e per la civiltà. Ma chi agita questo fantasma di cosa ha davvero paura? Quale agenda politica, questa sì reale e pericolosa, si nasconde dietro l'ideologia anti-gender? I movimenti contro l'ʽideologia del gender' ritraggono il genere come un monolite, il cui potere e la cui portata sarebbero devastanti. In Russia il gender è stato definito una minaccia a...
Wie is er bang voor gender?
Het belangrijkste boek over gender van de 21ste eeuw. Judith Butler, de baanbrekende denker wiens iconische boek 'Gender Trouble' ons begrip van gender en seksualiteit een radicaal nieuwe inhoud gaf, analyseert in 'Wie is er bang voor gender?' de aanvallen op gender door rechtse bewegingen. Butler onderzoekt hoe gender een fantasma is geworden voor conservatief-religieuze groepen, opkomende autoritaire regimes, fascistische formaties en transuitsluitende feministen. In hun onverschrokken nieuwe boek roept Butler op tot het vormen van allianties en het ontwikkelen van een krachtig tegenbeeld waarin leven en samenleven, vrijheid, radicale gelijkheid en rechtvaardigheid aantrekkelijk worden in plaats van beangstigend. ‘Een internationaal beroemde academicus. Butlers invloed is enorm.’ – The New Yorker ‘Hoe ontwikkelen we een tegenbeeld dat sterk genoeg is om dit bedrieglijke fantasma te ontmaskeren, onschadelijk te maken en ervoor te zorgen dat het niet langer wordt ingezet voor meer censuur, verdraaiing van de feiten en reactionaire politiek?’ – Judith Butler
