Genetic Governance
Contributors look at how the 'new' genetics, healthcare and arising health policy can or should be governed and regulated, rather than focusing on individualistic ethical issues, this text takes a broader, international public health approach.
Feminism’s Fight
Feminism’s Fight explores and assesses feminist strategies to advance gender justice for women through Canadian federal policy over the past fifty years, from the 1970 Report of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women to the present. The authors evaluate changing government orientations through the 1990s and 2000s, revealing the negative impact on most women’s lives and the challenges for feminists. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated misogyny and related systemic inequalities. Yet it has also revived feminist mobilization and animated calls for a new and comprehensive equality agenda for Canada. Feminism’s Fight tells the crucial story of a transformation in how feminism has been treated by governments and asks how new ways of organizing and new alliances can advance a feminist agenda of social and economic equality.
Narrative Art and the Politics of Health
As countless alterations have taken place in medicine in the twenty-first century so too have literary artists addressed new understandings of disease and pathology. Dis/ability studies, fat studies, mad studies, end-of-life studies, and critical race studies among other fields have sought to better understand what social factors lead to pathologizing certain conditions while other variations remain “normalized.” While recognizing that these scholarly approaches often speak to identities with radically different experiences of pathologization, this collection of essays is open to all critical engagements with narratives of health in order to facilitate the messiness of cross-disciplinary...
Blue
A powerful look at the changing cultural understanding of postpartum depression in America. New motherhood is often seen as a joyful moment in a woman’s life; for some women, it is also their lowest moment. For much of the twentieth century, popular and medical voices blamed women who had emotional and mental distress after childbirth for their own suffering. By the end of the century, though, women with postpartum mental illnesses sought to take charge of this narrative. In Blue: A History of Postpartum Depression in America, Rachel Louise Moran explores the history of the naming and mainstreaming of postpartum depression. Coalitions of maverick psychiatrists, psychologists, and women who...
The Palgrave Handbook of Gender, Sexuality, and Canadian Politics
The Palgrave Handbook of Gender, Sexuality, and Canadian Politics offers the first and only handbook in the field of Canadian politics that uses 'gender' (which it interprets broadly, as inclusive of sex, sexualities, and other intersecting identities) as its category of analysis. Its premise is that political actors’ identities frame how Canadian politics is thought, told, and done; in turn, Canadian politics, as a set of ideas, state institutions and decision-making processes, and civil society mobilizations, does and redoes gender. Following the standard structure of mainstream introductory Canadian politics textbooks, this handbook is divided into four sections (ideologies, institutions, civil society, and public policy) each of which contains several chapters on topics commonly taught in Canadian politics classes. The originality of the handbook lies in its approach: each chapter reviews the basics of a given topic from the perspective of gendered/sexualized and other intersectional identities. Such an approach makes the handbook the only one of its kind in Canadian Politics.

Horizonte ethnografischen Wissens
Ethnografisches Wissen ist ein bedeutsamer Bestandteil von Alltagskultur. ExpertInnen wie Laien benutzen es und bauen damit flexible Brucken zwischen Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft. Es findet sich in alltaglichen Begriffen und gangigen Stereotypen, es definiert die verschwommenen Bilder von Heimat oder Volk genauer und beeinflusst politisches Handeln oder mediale Inszenierungen. Ethnografisches Wissen geht in unsere Vorstellungswelten ein, beschreibt Ordnungsrahmen wie Ethnizitat und Authentizitat und ist dabei immer wieder wandelbar. Wie sich seine Produktion historisch im Spannungsfeld von Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft entwickelt hat und wie sie heute funktioniert, erkunden die Beitrage dieses Bandes aus der Perspektive unterschiedlicher Disziplinen. Ethnografisches Wissen wird damit als bedeutsames strategisches Wissen in gesellschaftlichen Veranderungs- und Verstandigungsprozessen sichtbar gemacht.
