Power, Knowledge and Feminist Scholarship
Feminist scholarship is sometimes dismissed as not quite ‘proper’ knowledge – it’s too political or subjective, many argue. But what are the boundaries of ‘proper’ knowledge? Who defines them, and how are they changing? How do feminists negotiate them? And how does this boundary-work affect women’s and gender studies, and its scholars’ and students’ lives? These are the questions tackled by this ground-breaking ethnography of academia inspired by feminist epistemology, Foucault, and science and technology studies. Drawing on data collected over a decade in Portugal and the UK, US and Scandinavia, this title explores different spaces of academic work and sociability, conside...

De la igualdad de género a la igualdad sexual y de género.Reflexiones educativas y sociales
Desde el inicio de los Estudios Feministas y de Género hasta la actualidad ha pasado mucho tiempo y con él, por suerte, muchas cosas han cambiado. Este libro quiere ser un homenaje, y una ventana, a esos cambios, haciendo un recorrido desde las primeras luchas por una igualdad feminista que, en su origen, divisaba el mundo como dividido entre mujeres y hombres, a una igualdad feminista que, en la actualidad, observa el mundo como caracterizado por la diversidad sexual y de género. Para ello, este libro pretende ser una contribución original por varias razones. La primera es su diversidad temática. La segunda, su interdisciplinariedad. La tercera es la pluralidad de voces que recoge. Las...

Dicionário crítico de migrações internacionais
As migrações internacionais vêm alcançando dimensões peculiares nos atuais tempos de globalização dos mercados e de inovações nas tecnologias da informação, comunicação e transportes. Acadêmicos da temática chegam a sugerir que vivemos na era das migrações, que seriam sintetizadas em cinco características fundamentais: globalização, aceleração, diferenciação, feminização e crescente politização das migrações. As migrações internacionais atravessam um momento de grande intensidade e sem precedentes na história recente. Isso se reflete no aumento dos migrantes e refugiados ao redor do mundo, nas dissonâncias das diferentes políticas migratórias e na intensid...
The Aging Immune System and Health
The world population presents an increased percentage of individuals over 65 years old and the fastest growing subgroup is over 85 years old. The increase in life expectancy observed in the last century has not been synonymous with extra years lived in good health (disability-free years). Population studies have shown that as individuals age, they can present a great heterogeneity of ability and health. Therefore, aging has been associated for some individuals with disabilities and hospitalizations. Deaths related to infectious pathogens are increased in the aging population mainly due to pneumonia and influenza whereas Cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, among other viruses seem to contrib...
