Bringing together diverse approaches and case studies of international health worker migration, Global Migration, Gender, and Health Professional Credentials critically reimagines how we conceptualize the transfer of value embodied in internationally educated health professionals (IEHPs). This volume provides key insights into the economistic and feminist concepts of global value transmission, the complexity of health worker migration, and the gendered and intersectional intricacies involved in the workplace integration of immigrant health care workers.

Study with reference to Kalabang village situated in Kaski District in Nepal.
This book develops the concept of affective nationalism - the banal affirmation of the national emerging in moments of encounter between different bodies and objects. Based on eight months of ethnographic field work, conducted between 2012 and 2014 in Azerbaijan, the book examines the ways in which moments of bodily encounter perpetuate banal enactments and experiences of national belonging and alienation. The book advances scholarship on nationalism and affect by suggesting to study nationalisms not as given, but as potential and emergent experiences of differently positioned bodies in a world divided into nations.

Nach fünf Auflagen in den letzten zehn Jahren präsentiert sich das Handbuch Kritische Stadtgeographie komplett aktualisiert und erweitert. Die 72 Einträge zu Theorien, Methoden und Themen Kritischer Stadtgeographie, verfasst von ausgewiesenen Autor*innen, sind teils ganz neu geschrieben, teils grundlegend überarbeitet worden. Urbane Phänomene, Konflikte und Kämpfe wandeln sich mit der Entwicklung von Städten. Die Kritische Stadtgeographie trägt dazu bei, diese zu benennen, zu erklären sowie progressive Lösungsansätze zu formulieren. Auch hilft sie zu verstehen, welche Interessen, Koalitionen und Strukturen emanzipatorische Initiativen unterstützen, in viel zu vielen Fällen aber auch blockieren oder verunmöglichen. Neben Einführungen in relevante Theorien, Methoden und Begriffe finden sich auch zahlreiche Einträge, in denen aktuelle Themen politischer Praxis in Städten diskutiert werden. Das Handbuch hilft Studierenden ab dem ersten Semester sowie auch Menschen jenseits von Lehre und Forschung dabei, sich der Kritischen Stadtgeographie zu nähern.
