Showing results for "Diana" in Women's Studies

Neste estudo de dez anos, Diana Greene Foster e uma equipe de pesquisadores acompanharam cerca de mil mulheres americanas que procuraram clínicas de aborto decididas a interromper a gravidez. Muitas, por razões diversas, não conseguiram.

Ambika Kamath and Melina Packer reveal how scientists studying animal behavior have long projected human norms and values onto animals while seeking to understand them. When scientific studies conclude that these norms and values are natural in animals, it makes it easier to think of them as natural in humans too. And because scientists, historically and to this day, largely belong to elite, powerful segments of society, the norms and values embedded into animal behavior science match those of the already powerful.

What if social transformation and liberation isn't about waiting for someone else to come along and save us? What if ordinary people have the power to collectively free ourselves?

What fuels and sustains activism and organizing when it feels like our worlds are collapsing?

En esta ocasión, la periodista madrileña Diana Oliver, nos presenta un título que tiene como objeto principal la maternidad. A través de los capítulos, la autora intenta explorar y responder a preguntas como: ¿Dónde nace el deseo de ser madre? ¿Somos realmente libres para decidir cuándo, cómo o con quién tenemos hijos? ¿Qué necesitamos para vivir una experiencia de la maternidad más grata? ¿De qué dependen nuestros malvivires maternales? ¿Qué exigencias nos imponen? ¿Cuáles nos imponemos? ¿Somos las madres que queremos ser o las que podemos ser? ¿Quién cuida a las madres? ¿Cómo cuidamos?

Fueron muchas, muchísimas, las mujeres que lucharon mano a manos con los hombres en las guerras de liberación, muchas las que sacrificaron sus vidas e, incluso, sus familias, pero solo de unas pocas hemos conservado su nombre en nuestro imaginario y es esa "invisibilización" la que, como me...

What does diversity do? What are we doing when we use the language of diversity? Sara Ahmed offers an account of the diversity world based on interviews with diversity practitioners in higher education, as well as her own experience of doing diversity work. Diversity is an ordinary, even unremarkable, feature of institutional life. Yet diversity practitioners often experience institutions as resistant to their work, as captured through their use of the metaphor of the "brick wall". On Being Included offers an explanation of this apparent paradox.

Black Women and Public Health creates an urgently needed interdisciplinary dialogue about issues of race, gender, and health. An enduring history of racism, sexism, and dehumanization of Black women's bodies has largely rendered the health needs of the Black community inaudible and invisible. Grounded in the lived experiences and expertise of Black women, this collection bridges gaps between researchers, practitioners, educators, and advocates.

This collection of narrative essays by sex workers presents a crystal-clear rejoinder: There's never been a better time to fight for justice. Responding to the resurgence of the #MeToo movement in 2017, sex workers from across the industry - hookers and prostitutes, strippers and dancers, porn stars, cam models, Dommes and subs alike - complicate narratives of sexual harassment and violence, and expand conversations often limited to normative workplaces.

Witchcraft has made a comeback in popular culture, especially among feminists. A growing subculture of BIPOC witches, led by Afro-Caribbean immigrants, Indigenous Americans, and other witches of color, is reclaiming their ancestral traditions and contributing their voices to the feminist witchcraft of today.

Recent scholarship has explored the lives of enslaved people beyond the watchful eye of their masters. Building on this work and the study of space, social relations, gender, and power in the Old South, Stephanie Camp examines the everyday containment and movement of enslaved men and women. In her investigation of the movement of bodies, objects, and information, Camp extends our recognition of slave resistance into new arenas and reveals an important and hidden culture of opposition.
