Gender, Youth and Education in Early 21st Century Spain
This book is an introduction to the role played by Spanish formal education in providing feminist pedagogies to adolescents and young people, throughout the first two decades of the 21st century. The authors combine a sociological, historical and pedagogical perspective.

Repensar la educación en clave de género
El enfoque de género, desarrollado al amparo del feminismo, supone un factor de innovación y cambio educativo. Ya en el año 2000, Elena Simón sostenía que la coeducación tiene la virtualidad de actuar como motor de cambio porque debe cabalgar entre lo tradicional y lo moderno. Y decimos que es el feminismo quien inspira esta nueva manera de mirar, pensar y hacer la educación porque pretende hallar nuevas formas culturales, crear nuevos códigos y dibujar caminos para elaborar una cultura comprensiva e inclusiva (Subirats, 2006a). Por ello, la perspectiva de género implica cambios en la educación que afectan desde la organización escolar, los contenidos curriculares a las prácticas y recursos educativos o la formación del profesorado. Pero, como se verá a lo largo de este libro, estos cambios van más allá de la escuela si queremos realmente transformar la educación de las nuevas generaciones.
From Stoke Mandeville to Stratford
As Aristotle once said, "If you would understand anything, observe its beginning and its development." When Dr Ian Brittain started researching the history of the Paralympic Games after beginning his PhD studies in 1999, it quickly became clear that there was no clear or comprehensive source of information about the Paralympic Games or Great Britain's participation in the Games. This book is an attempt to document the history of the summer Paralympic Games and present it in one accessible and easy-to-read volume. From the outset, it should be made very clear that this book is not meant to be an academic text. It has always been the author's intention that it should be a resource for anyone w...
E-Learning in the 21st Century
There is currently a technological revolution taking place in higher education. The growth of e-learning is being described as explosive, unprecedented, and above all, disruptive. This timely and comprehensive book provides a coherent framework for understanding e-learning in higher education. The authors draw on their extensive research in the area to explore the technological, pedagogical and organisational implications of e-learning, and more importantly, they provide practical models for educators to use to realise the full potential of e-learning. A unique feature of the book is that the authors focus less on the ever-evolving technologies and more on the search for an understanding of these technologies from an educational perspective. This book will be invaluable for researchers, practitioners and senior administrators looking for guidance on how to successfully adopt e-learning in their institutions. It will also appeal to anyone with an interest in the impact of e-learning on higher education and society.
Sacred Skin: The Legend of St. Bartholomew in Spanish Art and Literature
Sacred Skin offers the first systematic evaluation of the dissemination and development of the cult of St. Bartholomew in Spain. Exploring the paradoxes of hagiographic representation and their ambivalent effect on the observer, the book focuses on literary and visual testimonies produced from the emergence of a distinctive vernacular voice through to the formalization of Bartholomew’s saintly identity and his transformation into a key expression of Iberian consciousness. Drawing on and extending advances in cultural criticism, particularly theories of selfhood and the complex ontology of the human body, its five chapters probe the evolution of hagiographic conventions, demonstrating how flaying poses a unique challenge to our understanding of the nature and meaning of identity.
