Environmental Sustainability
United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 17 Goals blends the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. They function as commitments to be met by governments, civil society and the private sector for a 2030 collaborative project. The five keywords to achieve it are: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnerships. Another reading is to link these precepts with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights because to obtain real development we need full realization of human rights. This book analyses Sustainable Development considering Sustainable Development Goals, their importance concerning human rights and its significance for a Sustainable Society.
Birth in Eight Cultures
This stunning sequel to Brigitte Jordan’s landmark Birth in Four Cultures brings together the work of fifteen reproductive anthropologists to address core cultural values and knowledge systems as revealed in contemporary birth practices in Brazil, Greece, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Tanzania, and the United States. Six ethnographic chapters form the heart of the book, three of which are set up as dyads that compare two countries; each demonstrates the power of anthropology’s cross-cultural comparative method. An additional chapter with ethnographic vignettes gives readers a feel for what fieldwork is really like on the ground. The eminently readable, theoretically rich chapters are enhanced by absorbing stories, photos, quotes, thought questions, and film suggestions that nudge the reader toward eureka flashes of understanding and render the book suitable for undergraduate and graduate audiences alike.

Escola para todos e as pessoas com deficiência
O livro pretende estimular o leitor a refletir sobre os possíveis deslocamentos do objeto da Terapia Ocupacional no campo da Educação de abordagens biomédicas, organicistas, cujas origens estão no movimento eugênico, para abordagens fundamentadas em princípios epistêmicos e éticos alinhados com a possibilidade de exercer a liberdade, a imaginação e o diálogo vivo com as experiências. Pondera sobre as ações práticas da Terapia Ocupacional no contexto escolar, considerando as particularidades do seu cotidiano e dos seus coletivos, tendo como finalidade a escola para todos e suas interconexões com o pensamento crítico. Deseja ainda, por meio de diferentes relatos de experiências, instigar o leitor a dialogar com temas atuais como os preconceitos, estigmas, medos, intolerâncias presentes nas relações interpessoais e institucionais do contexto escolar.
Estudos atuais em Psicologia e Sociedade
No volume 1 desta obra, tivemos três áreas da psicologia que foram contempladas, a saber: desenvolvimento humano, área organizacional e atuação do psicólogo. Neste volume trataremos sobre violência e a curiosidade do pesquisador em suas empreitadas. Três dos quatro textos que serão aqui apresentados tratam sobre violência. Dentro do tema violência, os subtemas pesquisados foram "porte de arma", "o impacto dos maus-tratos vividos na infância" e "violência contra o idoso". E o quarto artigo discorre sobre a participação do sujeito-pesquisador em suas pesquisas. A intenção desses dois volumes é o de mobilizar o (a) leitor (a) para os diferentes "lugares" onde a psicologia se faz presente. Obra que interessa pessoas das áreas da psicologia, assistência social, administração, direito, pedagogia, sociologia, filosofia, gerontologia, entre outras. Desejo ótima leitura.
Interfaces da Dominação Patriarcal: Do Debate Acadêmico às Práticas Sociais
O livro Interfaces da dominação patriarcal: do debate acadêmico às práticas sociais, propõe-se ao desafio de pautar as desigualdades históricas entre homens e mulheres, originadas no seio do patriarcado e alimentadas pelo sistema capitalista, que segrega, oprime e explora a classe trabalhadora, principalmente se consideradas as interfaces de gênero, raça/etnia e sexualidade. As construções socioculturais, baseadas nas relações patriarcais e sustentadas pela sociedade normativa e heteronormativa, evidenciam a necessidade de lutas cotidianas por parte de atores e atrizes que trazem à luz tais expressões da questão social e intervém de forma a conquistar uma sociedade mais justa e igualitária.
