This book examines the challenges of bringing cutting-edge research in often controversial areas into the law syllabus and explores how academics can effectively adopt a holistic approach to research and pedagogy when teaching rights and justice. The collection brings together experts from all areas of legal scholarship to discuss how they fuse often controversial aspects of rights and justice into their teaching in a way that responds to and is ultimately led by academic research. As such, it advances legal education through the opportunity to explore the interplay between rights and justice and how scholars both ensure that their teaching is research-led, whilst responding to the needs and views of students and issues such as generational differences in viewpoints on controversial issues. This topical volume will appeal to academics and researchers interested in academic freedom, the challenges of research-led teaching and the pedagogy around the teaching of rights and justice.
The indivisibility principle holds that all human rights are equally important and should be respected in equal measure. This book provides a comprehensive explanation and analysis of indivisibility — its meaning(s), history, ideological significance, benefits, and shortfalls. In this way, the work brings indivisibility into the realm of critical thought that the principle of universality, for example, has long occupied. The work examines representations of indivisibility across multiple legal and academic sources from the last several decades in which interest in indivisibility and human rights has grown exponentially. It lucidly details how indivisibility has been used to legitimise the ...
The Name is Thompson - by Elizabeth May. Set in Belfast in the 1850s, this is the story of two families living in the centre of the town at a time of civil strife and dire poverty. We follow the Thompson and McKenna families - families of different religions, but joined as close neighbours in understanding. A story of their fortunes and misfortunes, family disputes, the bigotry of others, and a blossoming romance. A rich and beautiful tale, introducing the reader to the families of Killen Street and College Place, in a novel of old Belfast. __________________________________________ Note: The Name Is Thompson has been posthumously published from the original typewritten manuscript by Elizabeth May. The process of converting the typed MSS to a word processed document produced typographical errors or inaccuracies. Most of these have been corrected. However despite many hours of proofing and editing some may remain. Also, some have been retained in order to preserve the integrity of the original text.
Many bibliographers focus on women who write. Lawyer Barnett looks at women who detect, at women as sleuths and at the evolving roles of women in professions and in society. Excellent for all women's studies programs as well as for the mystery hound. Look at the popularity of such reading guides as Willetta Heising's Detecting Women (3rd ed. 0-9644593-7-X) or Amanda Cross' fiction (Honest Doubt 0-345-44011-0 11/00).
The Routledge History of Death Since 1800 looks at how death has been treated and dealt with in modern history – the history of the past 250 years – in a global context, through a mix of definite, often quantifiable changes and a complex, qualitative assessment of the subject. The book is divided into three parts, with the first considering major trends in death history and identifying widespread patterns of change and continuity in the material and cultural features of death since 1800. The second part turns to specifically regional experiences, and the third offers more specialized chapters on key topics in the modern history of death. Historical findings and debates feed directly into...
In recent years the bioarchaeology of Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands has seen enormous progress. This new and exciting research is synthesised, contextualised and expanded upon in The Routledge Handbook of Bioarchaeology in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. The volume is divided into two broad sections, one dealing with mainland and island Southeast Asia, and a second section dealing with the Pacific islands. A multi-scalar approach is employed to the bio-social dimensions of Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands with contributions alternating between region and/or site specific scales of operation to the individual or personal scale. The more personal level of osteobiographies enriches the understanding of the lived experience in past communities. Including a number of contributions from sub-disciplinary approaches tangential to bioarchaeology the book provides a broad theoretical and methodological approach. Providing new information on the globally relevant topics of farming, population mobility, subsistence and health, no other volume provides such a range of coverage on these important themes.
