Feminist Climate Policy in Industrialised States explores ways in which policymakers can overcome institutional barriers and conventions in pursuit of the radical changes necessary for a gender-just climate emergency response.In 2021, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change acknowledged that addressing the climate emergency must involve social justice and equality. Feminist approaches to decision making, policy making, community organising and their underpinning methodologies can enable this. The authors draw critically on case studies, research and interviews with feminist practitioners, legislators and leaders who have implemented significant changes, to signal how change might be achieved and ask what lessons can be drawn. The book posits that we need to ultimately move beyond the gender mainstreaming and gender equality issues which have been integrated into existing - and failing - structures, to more transformative feminist approaches. It concludes by identifying key strands of feminist-oriented praxis that offer the potential to expedite responses to climate change across multiple levels of governance.With industrialised states shifting rightwards to a politics which diminishes the importance and urgency of gender equality, diversity, human rights and the need for climate action, this volume will inspire, guide, and provide tools for policy makers, politicians, community activists, academics, and students to take transformative action to address the climate emergency.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

How complex is sex? According to this book, not nearly as complex as we're often told these days.Author Tomas Bogardus first critically evaluates varieties of a complex view of sex-supported by Anne Fausto-Sterling, Sarah Richardson, and others--in which sex is a constellation of traits related to chromosomes, hormones, gonads, and phenotypes. Bogardus then considers several gamete-based accounts of sex, to which he is more sympathetic, including those from Alex Byrne, Laura Franklin-Hall, and Paul Griffiths. Shortcomings of these views are described, and an improved account is proposed: the sexes are activated higher-order functions. In short, to be male is to have the function of producing sperm, and to be female is to have the function of producing eggs. Bogardus develops this view, all while untangling the various meanings and definitions of 'gender' and 'gender identity', and while examining whether all of them are ultimately defined in terms of the sexes.The author then defends his methodology of deferring to biologists when figuring out the nature of the sexes and concludes with practical questions about whether we should revise the meanings of our sex terms for the sake of social justice. He asks whether pronouns like 'he' and 'she' track biological sex, and whether they should continue to do so.The Nature of the Sexes: Why Biology Matters expands current philosophical debate on sex and gender, and is essential reading for curious students and academics alike.

In the Americas, organized state violence takes many forms--from forced disappearance and feminicide to extralegal killings, mass incarceration, and illegal detention. In response, mothers' organizations and collectives emerged in the 1970s to advocate for their disappeared, imprisoned, and murdered relatives. These organizations fight long and challenging battles for state and corporate accountability, demanding the creation of truth commissions, national memory archives, memory sites, and victim-oriented legislation. By implementing alternative caretaking mechanisms on behalf of survivors and victims, mothers' organizations have become powerful actors against organized state violence, structural inequalities, and political abandonment. In The Maternal Contract, Elva F. Orozco Mendoza traces the mobilization of mothers' organizations against organized state violence in the Americas. Drawing on the insights and work of four mothers' organizations--Las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo, Las Madres de Chihuahua, Colectivo Solecito, and Mothers Reclaiming Our Children, Orozco Mendoza introduces a novel theoretical framework, "the maternal contract," to illustrate how these organizations create and advance their own caretaking structures in the absence of substantive political rights and representation. While these organizations emerged in different times and geographies, Orozco Mendoza argues that they are linked by a powerful commitment to protect subaltern social groups and marginalized subjects against a violence-driven apparatus that disregards human life and dignity. In so doing, she draws attention to the caretaking practices, initiatives, and responsibilities that mothers' organizations adopt to counter chronic violence and collective suffering.

This essential handbook provides researchers, educators and policymakers with the tools and critical reflections needed to navigate the complexities of GBV research, from conceptualisation and fieldwork to dissemination and impact.Carefully curated essays from leading scholars and practitioners in the field examine the interconnected epistemological, methodological, and ethical dimensions of GBV research. They offer new perspectives on how researchers formulate, design, and conduct research in changing knowledge production landscapes. Through global research experiences, the handbook explores not only the critical questions researchers face, but also the innovative strategies they employ in this complex field of enquiry. Key topics covered include: intersectional perspectives on neurodiversity and power relations in academic research; GBV in the context of debates around the concept of gender; GBV as an analytical tool and as an observable phenomenon; the challenges and opportunities of conducting feminist research on GBV; epistemological violences and the study of GBV against transgender-identified people; GBV in university contexts and the triple roles researchers face as teachers and providers of pastoral support; feminist research ethics; methodological designs to explore silence in GBV; the dilemmas of perpetrators' participation in research; the use of digital media as a way to conduct and trace GBV in ever more online social interactions; the use of quantitative methods and its challenges to shed light on historically ignored forms of GBV; the practical and analytical implications of conducting international surveys and within larger policy and advocacy strategies; explorations on the use of arts in research, from music elicitation to Butoh dance; intersectionality in fieldwork practices; the problematisation of taken-for-granted GBV concepts; participatory and collaborative research methods, ethics and analytical frameworks; the policy and advocacy uses of research and its dilemmas in third-sector organisations; and the use of social theory as an analytical and practice-based transformative tool.The Routledge International Handbook of Gender-Based Violence Research is a landmark resource for graduate students, scholars, applied researchers and policy practitioners critically engaging with the nexus of epistemology, methodology, and ethics in research and more specifically in the study of gender, violence, and social inequality.

Queer(y)ing Civil Law Responses to Domestic and Family Violence offers unique, in-depth insights into the experiences of LGBTQ+ victim-survivors who have engaged with civil protection order systems.Drawing on data from an Australian study following the experiences of LGBTQ+ victim-survivors of domestic and family violence who engaged with Victoria's civil protection order system, this book adopts a feminist, queer, and trans abolitionist perspective to challenge the assumption that the best response to LGBTQ+ domestic and family violence is a legal one. Problematizing responses that fundamentally require increased investment in policing, courts, and prisons despite the risks this poses to marginalized individuals and communities, this book centres queer criminology as a framework through which we can situate and critique the rigid victim/perpetrator binaries that are so characteristic of legal responses to violence. This same criminological framework also provides the tools and knowledge needed to envision an alternative, community-orientated response to harm-within and beyond queer communities. In this way, the book presents queer criminology not only as a way of understanding LGBTQ+ experiences, but also as a means for analyzing the broader shortcomings of a system that more often exacerbates risk of harm than minimizes it.Queer(y)ing Civil Law Responses to Domestic and Family Violence will be useful for students and scholars of LGBTQ+ violence, as well as a valuable resource for policy makers, legal and specialist practitioners and advocates considering how best to respond to LGBTQ+ domestic and family violence.

Offering Southern feminist assessments of detailed case studies from 12 countries, this open access book provides crucial insights into the gendered repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on macroeconomics, labour, migration and human mobilities, and care and social protection throughout the Global South.Using DAWN's interlinkages approach, the chapters provide a comprehensive and intersectional perspective on how the pandemic affected, and continues to affect people, especially women and girls of different ages, gender identity and sexual orientation, class, race, ethnicity, citizenship and migration status.Written by Southern feminist academics, activists and thinkers across Asia, Africa, the Carribbean, Latin America, and the Pacific, the volume highlights how the pandemic was often used as an opportunity to create periods of exception that compromised democratic processes. Contributors pay special attention to the opportunities for transformative practices that emerged during the pandemic, highlighting the role of resistance and social mobilization. By bringing to light important new forms of resistance the chapters make important interventions into critical debates on the role of the state, the market, civil society, and grassroots organizing in addressing pandemics, other complex crises, and their aftermaths.This volume ultimately challenges dominant narratives that overlook the gendered implications of crises, and in doing so provides an original, feminist analytical framework for understanding policy trends shaping realities the world over - one that offers concrete policy and practice recommendations for fostering southern-based feminist and social justice.The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Writings on health and health management have long been concerned with the great figures that have preserved, protected or extended life. From Hippocrates and Galen to Vesalius, Lister, Mengele, Pasteur, Jenner and Fleming these writings have celebrated individuals whose knowledge and practice has treated our ills and sought to better manage our care. For the most part, this has been a history of 'great men' [sic]. There are honorable mentions for a small number of women such as Elizabeth Blackwell or Florence Nightingale but, by and large, one would be forgiven for assuming that the management of health has nearly always been the preserve of men. The contribution of women is largely absent - written out.This book contributes to the process of writing women back-in to our shared history and understanding of health and its management. Its chapters detail how women have been the main healers for communities across the globe for over four millennia. It considers the manner in which 'wise women' who used their knowledge of herbs, ritual and healing were excluded from emerging medical professions, while their good works were written over and written out of local histories through their marginalization and repositioning. More positively, it brings to our attention inspiring women who have shaped the ways in which we develop and deliver health in its broadest sense. Drawing on the work of women from Kenya, Nigeria, Hawaii, Turkey, USA, Ireland and the UK, and from disciplines that span medicine, social work, mental health, health promotion, occupational therapy, midwifery, pharmacology and traditional healing, the women considered in this volume advance our understanding of alternative ways of developing, delivering and managing health. This includes organising services for areas of neglected health (e.g. women's health, health prevention, rural populations), tackling contentious health issues (e.g. female genital mutilation, management of mental disorders) and the care of health providers themselves (e.g. providing space for women to practice, managing the mental wellbeing of healthcare workers). The book also shows how the work of these women went beyond health management to influence political and societal change.

This book explores the role of Indigenous identity in entrepreneurial behaviour and success by analysing 14 case studies on Australian Indigenous women entrepreneurs.The book draws on interviews conducted with successful Indigenous women entrepreneurs who have been operating their businesses in Sydney, Australia. Each case study is accompanied by relevant literature and industry information to contextualize business challenges and opportunities faced by the individual entrepreneur. The interviews illustrate the intersectional challenge of achieving economic self-determination for First Nations peoples, thereby contributing to a greater understanding of Indigenous entrepreneurship in Australia.This intersectional study of entrepreneurship will interest students and researchers in the fields of Indigenous studies, entrepreneurship, and anthropology. It will also be a valuable guide for policy makers seeking to promote entrepreneurship amongst Indigenous communities.

Gives voice to the experiences of LGBTQI+ persons prior to, during, and after the Holocaust, showing how the Nazi regime instituted a violent, oppressive, and murderous attack on LGBTQI+ life, culture, and identity.Hitler and the Nazis' reign of power had dire and long-lasting consequences for LGBTQI+ persons in Germany, Europe, and arguably the world. This survey of key topics and themes within the greater landscape of Holocaust and genocide studies helps identify how deep-seated prejudices against LGBTQI+ persons evolved into eliminationist ideology under the Nazis. Entries consider the lives of the persecuted and the persecutors alongside examinations of the attitudes and ideas that shaped their present and prejudices; in short, how the German society at large came to condone, and at times participate in, the forceful arrest, disappearance, and murder of thousands of their fellow citizens. Considering also the resistance movement, profiles of key individuals tell the story of those who resisted the Nazi assault on LGBTQI+ persons. A chronology of key events, perspective essays, primary sources, and survivor testimony further help shed light on the resilience and resistance of the community and the evolution of their persecution under and after the Nazis.

Anton, Anca / Moise, Raluca (eds.), Gender and Freelancing in the Communication Industries: Experiences, Practices, Discourses. (Women, Economy and Labour Relations) 256 pp. 2025:10 (Emerald, UK) <750-222>

Freelancing has become a dominant work mode in communication industries such as public relations, marketing communications, digital media, and corporate communication, offering flexibility, autonomy, and creative freedom to workers, as well as dynamic access to specialized skills for businesses. However, below this shiny surface lies a complex reality marked by job insecurity, unequal access to job opportunities, and persistent gender constraints. Studies that looked at this profession in the communication industries through the lens of gender have been few and far between. Gender and Freelancing in the Communication Industries: Experiences, Practices, Discourses is the first edited volume to focus specifically and exclusively on the intersection of gender and freelancing within the communication industries, challenging the assumption that freelancing is inherently liberating. The book investigates how gendered narratives, structural inequalities, and national labour policies influence freelancers' identities, career dynamics, and everyday practices, offering a comprehensive perspective of national and international viewpoints and inviting critical reflection on equity, identity, and sustainability in the gig economy. Divided into three thematic sections, the chapters examine discourses surrounding resilience and empowerment in online communities, explore exclusionary networking practices, and uncover how women navigate precarity, work-life balance, and professional isolation. Contributors draw from diverse methods including autoethnography, qualitative interviews, and generational analysis to capture the lived realities of freelance communication professionals. This collected volume benefits professionals from various fields, including communication specialists, researchers, business leaders, and policymakers. Freelancers seeking to understand their role in the economy, communication experts exploring gender dynamics in their industry, and researchers interested in the intersection of gender, work, and freelancing will find valuable insights.

Girls' Media in the Women's Liberation Era is a critical analysis and cultural history of popular girls' media narratives produced in the U.S. between 1968 and 1980-the era of the second-wave feminist movement-and girls' responses to those narratives.Grounded in exhaustive archival research and close analysis of such hits as The Brady Bunch and Family, the book highlights how mainstream media negotiated feminist themes and how liberation-era girls "talked back"-especially through letters, opinion essays, interviews, and diaries-on a range of media narratives and feminist issues, thus demonstrating their crucial involvement in the women's movement and its wider political struggle.Girls' Media in the Women's Liberation Era is a key text for both students and researchers in women's and gender studies, media studies, children's media, American studies, cultural studies, and sociology.

This volume explores how so-called digital natives of GenZ use media in the crafting of generational beliefs and representational practices around sex, gender, and sexuality.Through qualitative chapters of critical, ethnographic, discursive and textual analysis, an international team of authors explore mass media representation; queerness and visibility among the generation; GenZ feminism on social media and reactions to it; how GenZ learns about sexuality through various media; and gender and media effects. While considering global implications, the authors analyze experiences and points of view from various contexts, including Chinese social media, Korean mass- and social-media, Indian movies, Sri Lankan image-based social media, Japanese movies, Turkey and mediated visibility, Norway and online/offline romantic relationships, a UK-based genderqueer gaming celebrity, and multiple topics and contexts within the United States.This accessible and varied volume will appeal to advanced undergraduates, graduate students and researchers interested in social and mass media across a wide range of platforms and practices, digital culture, youth culture and human development, sex education, sex and gender studies, and communication and culture change.

The End of Roe assesses abortion and the American legal and political system in the aftermath of the United States Supreme Court's June 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.In Dobbs, the US Supreme Court held that a woman did not have a constitutional right to terminate her pregnancy. This decision further polarized an already divided nation by overturning nearly fifty years of precedent under Roe v. Wade, following on from two highly contentious presidential elections. Now, as Christian conservative legal organizations seek to tighten access to abortion through attempts to limit chemical abortion, the most widely used method to terminate pregnancies in the US, as well as cut off other avenues to the procedure, access to abortion seems uncertain and increasingly complicated across the United States. This book discusses how widely differing abortion laws have evolved across the US, as well as how religious groups and conservatives have turned to the legal process in their fight to restrict abortion further and how more progressive states have countered with the passage and implementation of safe harbor laws shielding physicians who perform abortions and the women who wish to procure them, mainly when their home state is hostile to their medical situation or choice. The book demonstrates how abortion will continue to shape future elections and the consequences of these political contests on this issue.The book will appeal to students and scholars of American politics, ethics, politics and religion, and women and politics, as well as practitioners in the areas of law, political science, sociology, and philosophy, and anyone interested in the abortion debate in the United States.

ISBN 978-1-032-83473-3 hard ¥40,991.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This collection focuses on minority women through the perspectives of minority rights and intersectionality to investigate such key concepts as discrimination, inequality, agency, participation, resistance, and solidarity while also unpacking dynamics of power. It presents diverse grounded empirical cases drawing on field research and data collection while offering a global perspective that explores intersectionality and its effect on minority women ascribed alternately by nationality, religion, ethno-culture, gender, migration background, and race in seven countries as well as in digital and international political spaces. The authors include legal scholars, political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists who study inequality, minority rights, race and gender issues, and the digital sphere. This interdisciplinary concatenation of authors offers an advantage when working at the junction between intersectionality and minority rights. Interdisciplinary in approach, the book will be of interest to researchers, academics and policy-makers working in the areas of Human Rights Law, Minority Rights, Gender Studies, Political Science, Social and Cultural Anthropology and Sociology.

We Gon' Be Alright: Resistance and Healing in Black Movement Spaces, 2012-2021 is a profound exploration of Black activism and organizing during a pivotal decade in American history. Rev. Dr. Stephanie M. Crumpton explores the practices of care, reflection, and creativity that Black activists employed to heal and resist amidst the sociopolitical turbulence from the Obama era through the first Trump presidency. This period, marked by the myth of a "post-racial" America, saw a resurgence in racial violence and hate crimes, culminating in the 2021 Capitol insurrection. Against this backdrop, Crumpton captures the resilience and ingenuity of Black movement workers as they navigated these challenges. Drawing on oral histories and personal narratives, Crumpton provides an intimate look at the lived experiences of thirty-seven full-time community organizers. These activists and organizers share their strategies for maintaining an ethic of care that sustains them while fighting against both external oppression and internal community struggles. The book highlights how contemporary Black resisters have leveraged a growing understanding of trauma and healing to enhance their activism. This blend of historical knowledge and modern therapeutic practices has equipped them with a broader array of tools to support their communities. Rooted in womanist practical theology, We Gon' Be Alright emphasizes the interconnectedness of white supremacy with other forms of oppression such as sexism, homophobia, and classism. Crumpton's work underscores the necessity of "deep, deep healing" to address these multifaceted threats to Black life. This book is an essential resource for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of Black resistance and healing in contemporary America. Through its detailed examination of the past decade, it offers valuable insights into the ongoing struggle for Black humanity, dignity, and a thriving future.

The story of how an Italian American housewife and community organizer battled a Brooklyn Mafia boss and political activist for the hearts and minds of a white working class in revolt.This is the true story of a rivalry between a pair of improbable social justice crusaders--Mary Sansone, an Italian homemaker, and Joe Colombo, a Mafia boss--set against the backdrop of Brooklyn's racial and ethnic feuds of the 1960s and 1970s. From her basement kitchen, Mary Sansone launched the Congress of Italian American Organizations, a social-action coalition operating multimillion-dollar programs on behalf of the Italian poor. From his office suite high above Madison Avenue, Joe Colombo defied omerta to commandeer the Italian American Civil Rights League, an audacious anti-defamation organization that convinced thousands to join sidewalk pickets and mass demonstrations. When, around 1970, Mary and Joe's paths finally cross, they battle each other for the hearts and minds of a white working class in revolt. This book challenges stereotypes of the docile Italian wife and the parochial Mafioso by recasting these actors as a rebel girl and a renegade wiseguy. It offers an alternative history of the 1960s and 1970s, when it was presumed that white ethnics living in urban America were predisposed to responding to the civil rights movement with backlash and the women's movement with scorn.

The Perverse Feminine resurrects a long-buried psychic figure: the Perverse Feminine Archetype. Grounded in intuitive inquiry, this work builds on Jungian theory, feminist psychology, and myth to illuminate the archetypal constructs of forbidden power, deviant desire, and inherited shame shaping the collective psyche of cisgender women.Across careers, relationships, and inner lives, women in this study enliven the perverse through acts of subversion, refusal, creative expression, and sexual exploration. Through their stories, a meditation on the unconscious unfolds, unveiling the archetypal feminine and perversity as portals to healing and integration.Distilled from the data, a four-stage framework maps research participants' psychological journeys across the evolving inner landscapes-where pain, power, and transformation entwine. Through evocative narratives that generate tools for archetypal engagement, this study offers individuals, theorists, and clinicians a guide to identity, self-discovery, and psychic wholeness within a rapidly changing cultural landscape.

Throughout hooks' powerful life she envisioned, described, and enacted a radical, engaged pedagogy and praxis rooted in love, rather than power, while simultaneously modeling transgressive modes of being in the world. bell hooks' Radical Pedagogy is the first sustained collection of teachings and reflections that address the full scope of bell hooks' teaching trilogy. Organized into four parts covering: engaged pedagogies; pedagogies of hope and joy; pedagogies of the bodymindspirit; strategies of resistance and anticolonial frameworks, the book offers an accessible guide to hooks' work for students, teachers and researchers.

Formby, Eleanor / Culliney, M. / Wolstenholme, C. et al., Homophobic, Biphobic and Transphobic Bullying and LGBT Inclusion in English Schools. 204 pp. 2025:10 (Emerald, UK) <750-1250>
ISBN 978-1-83708-449-4 hard ¥21,829.- (税込) US$ 105.00

Homophobic, biphobic, and transphobic (HBT) bullying in schools is a significant problem that educators, scholars and the greater academic community must confront. This type of bullying not only impacts the mental health and well-being of young people, but also influences the overall school climate for both students and staff. Despite ongoing challenges, there is a growing movement to foster more inclusive school environments for LGBTQ+ individuals. Based on a large-scale research project involving approximately 1,000 English schools, the authors examine the incidence of HBT bullying and the strategies schools use to address it. It begins by contextualizing HBT bullying and LGBT inclusion within current policy frameworks, exploring preventive approaches in English schools, and providing insights from staff and pupils at primary and secondary levels. The work then presents an experiential perspective on the prevalence and responses to HBT bullying as reported by students and staff, highlighting the challenges schools face, and varying experiences based on sexuality and gender identity. The final chapters focus on LGBT inclusion, detailing how schools incorporate LGBT identities into the curriculum and culture through examples like staff training and classroom discussions. This important text is essential reading for students and scholars in the fields of childhood studies, education studies, gender studies, psychology, sexuality studies, sociology, and youth studies. It is also valuable research for policymakers, practitioner and activist audiences, as well as those with a more personal interest.

An authoritative assessment of the early American republic through the lens of gender What does it mean to study early American history through gender? The essays in this collection, written by the best emerging and established historians in the field, bring together women's history with masculinity studies to showcase the transformative impact of gender history on our understanding of the early American republic. In addition to state-of-the-field historiographical overviews, The Gendered Republic features essays that use gender history to suggest new chronological and geographic frameworks, broaden understandings of politics and citizenship, highlight the complexities of intersectional identities, and explore new approaches that center bodies and sexualities. Collectively, the contributors showcase the vibrancy of gender history as a frame of inquiry, revealing how shifting notions of women's and men's roles shaped the lives of people in the early American republic - White, Black, and Indigenous - and how those people, in turn, experienced and redefined gender and, with it, their communities, cultures, laws, families, and nations.

Throughout the Twentieth Century many women in Ireland and Britain endured shame and institutionalisation for becoming pregnant outside of marriage. In this welcome study, Lorraine Grimes examines the journeys made by hundreds of pregnant Irish women to Britain as they fled to escape their local communities.Their experiences in Britain, however, were not free of stigma and Grimes's book analyses the nuances of the institutional networks both in Britain and Ireland which these women utilised.Single Mothers in Twentieth Century Ireland and Britain focuses on the experiences of women from 1926-1973 in cities with high Irish emigrant populations, including London, Liverpool, Birmingham and Glasgow. Unlike official narratives such as Ireland's Commission of Investigation into the Mother and Baby Homes, this book prioritises the experiences of the survivors and ensure that women's experiences are central to the narrative. It also incorporates original interviews with children born in institutions and for the first time, interviews with religious and medical staff are also included in the historiography.Using archival research and oral history, Grimes reveals the methods British and Irish institutions developed, from forced adoption to repatriation and the impacts of this on the women and children's lives. Grimes makes a significant contribution to the historiography surrounding the movement of women and children across international borders through repatriation and adoption between institutions on both sides of the Irish Sea. From extensive archival research, this book reveals cases of Irish single mothers seeking assistance in Britain as well as cases of rape, incest and domestic violence within the institutional records. In addition, archival cases expose prejudice towards women from other colonial countries in institutions in Britain, particularly from the 1960s. A first for the field, Single Mothers includes a chapter on the experiences of single fathers. Sensitive to the underlying issues of class and gender politics, the book also shows that women often enacted a large degree of agency to improve their situation.If you are interested in women's political and social history, and the history of the institutional relationships of Britain and Ireland, this book is essential reading.

This open access book features a diverse collective of arts and humanities researchers, educators and creative practitioners, sharing their thoughts and experiences of how to approach gender nonconformity creatively and ethically, including from a decolonial perspective. While substantial work has addressed the ethics and practicalities of working with trans and gender-nonconforming participants in social science research, approaches to gender nonconformity in arts and humanities research, teaching and practice still remain underexplored. Here, contributors share their thoughts and experience on topics including centring trans people and people of colour in fan adaptations of Les Miserables; moving beyond medicalised approaches to trans history; responding to the early modern history of gender nonconformity through poetic-performative closet dramas; and using trans history to decolonise history teaching. The editors' draw out the book's practical and theoretical implications, reflecting on what it means for marginalised people to 'forge a home' within the arts and humanities in our contemporary political moment.This book is an invaluable resource for academics, educators, performers and activists invested in finding new, trans-affirming, decolonial and anti-racist ways to engage with gender nonconformity in their work.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

ISBN 978-1-032-54890-6 hard ¥40,991.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book explores the development of sexual ethics in medieval Poland, focusing on how the process of Christianization integrated Poland into the Western European cultural sphere, and how the adoption of Christian norms and practices significantly shaped its moral and legal views on sexuality.Drawing on a wide array of primary sources, the study highlights the tension between official ecclesiastical views and the lived experiences of individuals, while also addressing the ways in which various aspects of sexuality-such as marital life, chastity, adultery, sexual misconduct, and prostitution-were understood, regulated, and punished by both secular and religious authorities. It analyzes the influence of Western European sexual ethics, especially through the lens of the Church's doctrines, and contrasts these with the social and legal realities of life in medieval Poland. The book also examines how Christian ideals of love and sexuality intersected with local cultural practices, particularly in the context of courtly love.This book is aimed at scholars and students of medieval history, religious studies, and gender studies, as well as those interested in the history of sexuality. It will appeal to anyone researching the convergence of Christianity and medieval Polish society.

This book explores the parallel histories and intersecting politics of LGBTQ+ people and sex workers, including the role of digital media in shaping the experiences of both in the early twenty-first century. Drawing on the first empirical study with gay, bisexual, and queer young men who agreed to sell sex online without advertising or identifying as sex workers, it examines what the term 'incidental sex work' means. Adopting queer methods and feminist theories to explore how definitions of 'sex' and 'work' have become increasingly unstable in the digital era, it considers how casual, occasional, and unprofessional forms of sex work are arranged on different platforms, from Grindr to OnlyFans. This book will appeal to students and researchers studying sex work and social media across a wide range of fields. It will also be useful for campaigners, policymakers, and healthcare practitioners interested in the implications of incidental sex work.

Pak, Vincent, Queer Correctives: Discursive Neo-homophobia, Sexuality and Christianity in Singapore. (Advances in Sociolinguistics) 192 pp. 2025:8 (Bloomsbury Academic, UK) <750-1268>
ISBN 978-1-350-45414-9 hard ¥26,856.- (税込) GB￡ 95.00

Queer Correctives explores Christian discourses of sex and sexuality in Singapore to argue that metanoia, the theological concept of spiritual transformation, can be read as a form of neo-homophobia that coaxes change in the queer individual. In Singapore, Christian discourses of sex and sexuality have materialised in the form of testimonials that detail the pain and suffering of homosexuality, and how Christianity has been a salve for the tribulations experienced by the storytellers. This book freshly engages with Michel Foucault's posthumous and final volume of The History of Sexuality by revitalising his work on biblical metanoia to understand it as a form of neo-homophobia. Drawing on Foucauldian critical theory and approaches in discourse studies, it shows how language is at the centre of this particular iteration of neo-homophobia, one that no longer finds value in overt expressions of hate and disdain for those with non-normative sexualities, but relies extensively on seemingly neutral calls for change and transformation in personal lives. Queer Correctives takes Singapore as a case study to examine neo-homophobic phenomena, but its themes of change and transformation embedded in discourse will be relevant for scholars interested in contemporary iterations of Foucault's concepts of discipline and technologies of the self. Together with interview data from religious sexual minorities in Singapore, it captures a burgeoning form of homophobic discursive practices that eludes mainstream criticism to harm through change and transformation.

Mohamad, Maznah / Rasheed, Syahirah, Sexuality and Islamic Spirituality in Early Malay Writings: A Textual History of Sex and Gender. (Gender and Islam) 268 pp. 2025:8 (I. B. Tauris, UK) <750-127>

It is argued here that before the extensive formalization of sharia laws from the late nineteenth century onwards, Islam was prominently influenced by elements of enchantment and mysticism, mirrored in its textual portrayal of passionate and sexual relations.This book's analysis is based on Malay manuscripts and texts about the body, sex, and sexuality. These include religious guidebooks on sexual techniques and etiquette, of which some are translated from the original Arabic or Persian, but almost all of which have been adapted for local Malay relevance. Also analyzed are collections of Malay erotic poetry from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries and the only known female-authored early twentieth-century text on sex and women's sexual pleasure.Over the centuries changing sexual norms and attitudes in the Malay world has disengaged sex and sexuality from being a crucial component of faith and spirituality-gradually receding into the discreet margins of contemporary discourse on gender relations.

This book spotlights the trajectories of young women and men navigating the turmoil of the early 20th century.From the end of the First World War to the aftermath of the Second World War, Europe witnessed fundamental changes in the social regimes that determined power distribution. Against this backdrop of the struggle between democratic and authoritarian projects, amid both war and fragile peace, young people increasingly became a target of state legislation, (mass) organizations and other institutions. The authors of this collective volume approach the first half of the twentieth century through the lens of age and gender as interdependent categories of analysis. In doing so, they reveal how adult perceptions of youth and gender framed young men and women's lives as well as their roles in society. The authors also explore how these perceptions collided with youth agency, probing the specific age- and gender-related dynamics of empowerment and organization. By focusing on the young actors and the institutional settings that limited their scope of action, the authors contrast processes of wayward agency with institutionalized attempts to control and lead 'the young'. As such, this book contributes to a global academic discussion on age, gender, the lifecycle and intersectionality.This book will be relevant for scholars and students in History, Sociology, Gender Studies, and Youth Studies. It will also be of interest to those studying European history, social movements, and 20th-century political transitions.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of European Review of History.

Working Psychoanalytically with Gender Diversity and Sexualities considers and challenges expectations about psychoanalytic work with LGBTQIA+ patients.The book is organised into three parts, starting with a theoretical review, which includes discussion of the relevance of the Oedipus complex, resistance to infantile sexuality, the conquest of otherness and challenges in maintaining neutrality. Secondly, the contributors approach an ethical dimension, with chapters describing different moments in the way in which psychoanalysts engage with ethical responsibility in the face of gender and sexual diversity. The third part of the book considers an ontological dimension, that incorporates fluidity as a condition of the subject as an object of study and includes factors such as race and generational status, emergence of stigmas and a particular focus on the concept of helplessness. The contributors offer insight into countertransferential reactions and responses in clinical work, ensuring that analysts can work with these patients without preconceptions standing in the way. Extending an opportunity to air conflicting psychoanalytic views and rethink established psychoanalytic concepts, this book will be key reading for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists in practice and in training. It will also be of interest to academics and students of psychoanalytic studies and gender studies.

Tuch, Richard, Perversity, Pornography, and the Psychology of the Male Species: An Overdue Rethinking of Robert Stoller's Gender Theories. 168 pp. 2025:9 (Routledge, UK) <750-1277>
ISBN 978-1-032-97475-0 hard ¥40,991.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book presents an overview of present-day psychoanalytic thinking about the perverse spectrum: perverse thinking (disavowing reality), perverse modes of relating (manipulating others for one's own gain at the other's expense), and perverse character structure (toying with another's sense of reality), culminating in a clinical exploration of the challenges associated with treating patients who manifest perverse transference reactions. Stoller's contested theories about gender identity, sexual fantasy, and perversity constitute a model of male psychological development that contradicts Freud's belief about the advantages of being born male. When a boy realizes his body differs from that of his mother, noted Stoller, the boy ceases to feel as close to her as he once felt, which is a calamity the boy must bear and mourn. The boy's burgeoning sense of superiority, associated with the phallic narcissistic stage of development, helps counter the loss. Fixation at this stage is not the norm as Stoller had imagined, rather it helps account for what is colloquially referred to as "toxic masculinity." The task of individuating from mother colors a man's subsequent relationships with women, beginning with the boy's efforts to break free of mother followed by a subsequent struggle against the urge to be reunited with the primal mother, which contributes to men's dread of women. Rereading Stoller challenges present-day thinking about gender and gender identity, and it clarifies the role objectification/fetishization, sexualization, and perversity play in the lives of men-the extent male fantasy is tinged with hostility.With fascinating clinical vignettes and a deep understanding of the source material, this is key reading for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists working with men.

The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online. As we move into a world where the borders between professional activity in the physical world and the online space are becoming increasingly blurred, up to now there has been little attention paid to the risk that this occupational necessity frequently presents. This book fills that gap; exploring the online abuse of women at work, author Susan Watson uses verbatim accounts to demonstrate that online abuse is the consequence of being a woman on the internet. Timely, necessary, and the first of its kind, Gendered Online Abuse Against Women in Public Life focuses on digital abuse encountered across the public sphere and brings together both theoretical ideas and policy recommendations. Presenting evidence drawn from 50 rich and visceral semi-structured interviews and a large corpus of Twitter data, the chapters identify how abuse differs by occupation, and devises a seven-element framework that occurs in every episode of online abuse - tested through the qualitative analysis of 10 million tweets sent to 250 women across the UK: data that is no longer available following the platform's change of ownership. The design of recommendations at an individual, organisational and structural level provides workable solutions to a vicious problem, revealing how online abuse directed at women is misogynistic, frequently includes violent threats, and dismisses women's contributions to online discussions. Addressing how the expectation that women in public life maintain a digital presence precipitates online abuse, Watson offers a series of recommendations for ways that online abuse can be managed, countered, and ultimately ameliorated. Highly interdisciplinary, combining scholarly investigation and public policy insight, this is essential reading for students, academics and policymakers alike.

This book explores the interrelationship between gender and multidisciplinarity, and the different ways in which gender informs the work of diverse subject areas. Using facet methodology, chapters examine disciplines in conversation with each other to produce new ideas and ways of thinking about contemporary theories and politics of gender. The book moves through five core aspects of gender: routine everyday practices, critiquing power and politics, gendered histories and herstories, bodies and embodiment, and laws which operate at meta and micro levels. Chapters draw on a wide range of examples from the climate crisis and medical science to social sciences and culture, engaging with the varied meanings of gender and questioning dominant assumptions. The authors argue that focusing on multidisciplinarity allows us to consider how disciplines have become gendered in terms of who participates in the discipline and analyse implicitly gendered assumptions about what counts as knowledge or even as data. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book is an invigorating read for gender studies scholars from undergraduate to post-graduate level, particularly those focusing on interdisciplinarity in the field. With an exploration of gender across a vast array of disciplines, it is also of interest to scholars across sociology, anthropology, philosophy, politics, media studies, psychology and economics.

In Crafting Marriages: Palestinian American Women Transforming Gender Boundaries, Enaya Othman draws on three decades of ethnographic research to chart how Palestinian women have reimagined and reshaped marriage practices across generations. Through careful analysis of over sixty personal narratives, family documents, and marriage videos, Othman reveals how these women have become key agents of cultural change, negotiating between traditional expectations and contemporary possibilities. Her research demonstrates that rather than following a single pattern, Palestinian American marriages reflect complex interactions between religious identity, cultural heritage, and modern American life. Othman's groundbreaking study shows how the rise of global Islamic revival movements since the 1970s have created new opportunities for Palestinian women to challenge traditional marriage customs. By emphasizing Islamic values over ethnic ties, younger generations are expanding the boundaries of acceptable marriage partners across racial, cultural, and national lines. This shift has profound implications for how we understand the intersection of gender, religion, and cultural identity in diaspora communities. By illuminating how Palestinian American women navigate between tradition and transformation, Crafting Marriages offers important insights into broader questions about gender, agency, and cultural change in transnational communities.

This book critically examines the ever-evolving relationship between gender, identity and technology, investigating how identity is shaped, expressed and contested within virtual environments.It brings together empirical essays from various geographies including Israel, Italy, South Africa, Spain, Brazil and India, to explore how gender constructs, religiosity, social support structures, ethical discourses, biases and toxicity weave into the digital fabric. While the digital space can build community and open up liberating possibilities, it also retains echoes of real-world social and gender dynamics. The absence of the physical body does not shield virtual spaces from deeply entrenched socio-cultural and political contexts. Through an exploration of different virtual platforms and digital apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, Tinder among others, the book invites readers to contemplate the boundless possibilities and pressing challenges that arise when gendered experiences converge with the infinite expanse of the virtual space(s). The essays in this volume offer great analytical insights into these dynamics supported by well-surmised theoretical and methodological backdrops.The book will be of interest to practitioners of social sciences, especially those interested in issues of gender and identity politics as well as research in the digital or virtual space. It will also be a valuable resource for students and researchers of anthropology and sociology.

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of Barbie's role in shaping societal perceptions of identity, gender, race, and sexuality. It traces Barbie's journey from a post-war American doll reflecting stereotypical ideals to a significant cultural icon whose image both reflects and influences complex contemporary discussions on identity. By situating Barbie in her historical and social context, this book explores how this iconic doll has navigated, and at times challenged, shifting societal norms. Structured thematically, this book dedicates each chapter to specific aspects of Barbie's influence, from her portrayal of femininity and body image to her evolving representations of race and sexuality.By examining Barbie's diverse career roles and responses to beauty standards, this book encourages readers to consider both the empowerment and the limitations embedded in her narrative. It also critically addresses efforts to diversify Barbie's image, questioning whether these initiatives genuinely engage with diverse communities or commodify inclusivity for commercial appeal. Aimed at scholars and students in fields such as gender studies, sociology, and cultural studies, this book draws from multidisciplinary insights to enhance the reader's understanding of Barbie's impact.Its rigorous theoretical framework and balanced perspective make it an essential resource for those interested in consumer culture, identity formation, and media representations. By engaging with Barbie's complex legacy, this book provides a timely and thought-provoking contribution to discussions about the intersections of identity, representation, and popular culture.

Drawing on rich archival materials, this open access book offers the first in-depth historical account of the feminist film movement in Sweden in the 1970s. Ingrid Ryberg makes an important contribution to feminist film studies by providing detailed case studies of crucial contexts of production, distribution and reception; key films and directors including Mai Zetterling's The Girls; and elaborate reassessments of central debates in feminist film theory. By unearthing this national film history, Swedish Film Feminism brings new insights into the politics and aesthetics of the feminist film movement as well as revealing how they were shaped by funding opportunities and interactions with state agencies. Ryberg's central argument is that women's film culture in Sweden nurtured a state feminist image of accomplished gender equality, at the same time that opportunities for women filmmakers in practice remained scarce. She makes a topical and substantial contribution to contemporary widespread debates about women's filmmaking, the politics of representation, and feminist media histories both in and outside academia.The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Why have there been so few women mathematicians? This book does not seek an answer in absence but in the forces, ruptures, and intensities that shape the becoming of a femme philosophe-a mathematician, scientist, and philosopher-within the shifting assemblages of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe. Moving beyond exclusion as mere negation, it traces the conditions of emergence, the differential speeds and slippages through which women entered, inhabited, and transformed the mathematical sciences.Drawing on auto/biographical documents, literary and philosophical writings, and the materialities of the archive, this book approaches the digital turn not as a tool but as a plane of composition, where new trajectories of memory work unfold. Between historiography and fabulation, it maps a space where women's mathematical thought was not only possible but inevitable-if only in flashes, excesses, and detours.This book will resonate with scholars in the sociology, history and philosophy of science and mathematics, particularly those engaged with feminist thought, the politics of knowledge, and experimental archival methods.

Bray, Gregory / Ball, Andrew J. (eds.), Women Vigilantes and Outlaws in American Popular Media: Who Was That Masked Woman? (Outlaws in Literature, History, and Culture) 208 pp. 2025:9 (Routledge, UK) <750-1156>

This interdisciplinary collection of essays examines how women vigilantes, social bandits, outlaws, and anti-heroines were represented in American novels, movie serials, radio dramas, films, comics, and pulp fiction, from the post-Civil War era through World War II.Demonstrating a broad spectrum of methodological and critical approaches, the book includes essays from seasoned as well as emerging scholars. The collected essays fill a gap in present popular culture studies and intersect with outlaw studies, gender studies, feminism, historical studies, and media archaeology, along with citizenship and national identity. The volume also considers how representations of women intersect with matters of class, sexuality, and ethnicity. By analyzing female outlaws both real and imagined, this study highlights the ways that these women have become symbols of justice and social transformation in American cultural memory.This book is an ideal resource for researchers and academics in popular culture studies, media studies, outlaw studies, comparative literature, and feminist studies, as well as historians who focus on media in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
