This edited volume explores indigenous peacebuilding, conflict resolution, and community reconciliation, with a strong focus on the roles of women, youth, and marginalised groups in building sustainable peace. Drawing on case studies from Nigeria and across Africa, it examines how traditional institutions, cultural practices, gender inclusion, youth participation, and local knowledge contribute to peace and security in conflict-affected societies.

The volume begins by examining the place of women and youth in peacebuilding and reconciliation before moving into discussions on traditional justice systems, indigenous mediation, and grassroots security initiatives. Subsequent chapters explore themes such as girl-child education, climate-induced conflict, youth-led vigilante networks, cultural diplomacy, humour, music, and inter-ethnic relations as tools for social harmony. The volume combines historical analysis, political studies, and cultural perspectives. It offers valuable insights for researchers, students, policymakers, and practitioners interested in African peacebuilding, indigenous conflict resolution, gender studies, and sustainable development.

This book was authored by Horacio N. Roque Ramirez and shepherded through to publication by Ralph Armbruster-Sandoval and Eddy Francisco Alvarez Jr. following Horacio’s passing with the blessing of sister, Nubia Roque. It represents the culmination of a decade's worth of oral history and archival research, an ethnographic historical study of the formation and partial destruction of queer Latina and Latino community life in San Francisco, from the 1960s to the 1990s. The book traces the lives and memories of sixty narrators as they worked to build what Latina/o/x scholars have referred to as cultural citizenship but also informed by writing on sexual citizenship and the body. Bridging oral history, LGBT history, and Latinx history, the book looks at how the sexuality of migration?through the lives of queer border crossers?and informs what is assumed to be a national heterosexual U.S. history of the largest growing racial ethnic 'minority' in the country.

This book is the third of a series of five volumes that analyze and denounce the gender-based inequalities and violence faced by Latin American female social scientists in academic settings. This volume is dedicated to Mexico and offers an in-depth feminist ethnographic case study of gender-based inequalities and violence in Mexican universities, situating this national case within the broader comparative research project across Latin America.

Drawing on qualitative interviews with female social scientists, systematic reviews of historical, statistical, and policy data, and reflexive methodological approaches, the volume traces how structural inequalities are produced and reproduced across life trajectories?from family socialization and higher education to professional advancement. The authors analyse key dimensions shaping women’s academic careers, including the sex-gender division of labor, androcentrism in scientific institutions, and the intersection of gender with class, race, and caregiving responsibilities. It documents persistent disparities in access to stable academic positions, recognition, and leadership, alongside experiences of symbolic and physical violence, harassment, and exclusion within university environments.

Methodologically, the volume advances the use of feminist ethnography and the extended case method to connect individual narratives with macro-level transformations in higher education and science policy. By combining empirical accounts with critical engagement in feminist epistemology, the book highlights the ethical imperative of turning analytical attention toward inequalities within the social sciences themselves.

How to Suppress the Careers of Female Social Scientists ? Volume 3: An Anti-manual from Mexico will be of interest to scholars in gender studies, sociology of education, anthropology, and science and technology studies, as well as readers concerned with academic labor, inequality, and institutional transformation in higher education.

Comprehensive scholarship on fatherhood from evolutionary, physiological, and psychological perspectives

Now in its Sixth Edition, The Role of the Father in Child Development remains the authoritative reference on paternal influences across cultures and contexts. Edited by Michael E. Lamb, whose research has shaped family law and policy internationally, this volume synthesizes recent scholarship from evolutionary biology, physiology, psychology, and sociology to provide a rounded understanding of contemporary fatherhood worldwide.

This edition presents up-to-date summaries of fatherhood research, including a chapter from leading psychologist James Rilling, whose specialized work on evolutionary and neurological bases of paternal behavior reaches a broader audience here. The volume examines father-child relationships across diverse family structures, including post-divorce arrangements, foster care, adoption, and LGBTQ+ parenting contexts.

The book also covers:

• Cross-cultural perspectives on father involvement and paternal roles across diverse societies and family structures around the world
• Evolutionary and physiological foundations of fathering behavior drawn from current biological anthropology and neuroscience research findings
• Research-based guidance for legal practitioners working on custody evaluations, divorce proceedings, and family court matters
• Evidence informing policy decisions on fostering, adoption, and diverse family arrangements including same-sex and LGBTQ+ parenting
• Multidisciplinary frameworks integrating psychology, sociology, and family social science perspectives on contemporary paternal engagement

Essential for scholars, researchers, and advanced students in developmental psychology and family studies, The Role of the Father in Child Development also serves practitioners in psychology, social work, and criminology. Legal professionals handling family and custody matters, custody evaluators, and policy makers will find authoritative evidence to inform their work with fathers and families.

This handbook gathers the main concepts, theoretical approaches, research fields and applications that have emerged from the intersection between translation, gender, and sexuality. Over the past three decades, translation studies (a dynamic field of descriptive and critical inquiry) has increasingly incorporated feminist perspectives, sexual diversity voices, and queer and trans approaches. The volume revisits and critically assesses this tradition while also identifying new directions for future research within an intersectional framework that brings together perspectives from diverse backgrounds and contexts. Organized into four sections covering basic concepts, politics of translation, forms of representation, and practices and applications, the handbook is intended for both students and experienced researchers seeking a comprehensive overview of key current themes, issues, and research topics in translation, gender, and sexuality.?

Sexual consent is often framed as the boundary between sex and sexual violence, frequently upheld as the key to transforming unethical sexual cultures. But what of the factors shaping people's positive experiences of negotiating sex, beyond the minimal threshold of avoiding sexual violence?

This book centres the experiences of bi+ individuals, introducing a new framework for understanding how gender, sexuality and bodily norms shape people's negotiation of positive sexual experiences. By demonstrating how queer bodies can challenge restrictive norms, the book shifts the focus away from risk reduction and highlights the need for a strengths-based approach that celebrates queer gender and sexuality. It provides fresh insights for scholars, educators and policy makers seeking more inclusive, effective strategies for sexuality education and sexual violence prevention.

This book examines the ways in which European queens engaged with De institutione foeminae Christianae (1524), the most popular instructional manual for women in sixteenth-century Europe. Vives (c. 1493-1540) dedicated the volume to Catherine of Aragon, queen of England as the wife of Henry VIII. Richard Hyrde did the same with his English translation. Juan Justiniano dedicated his Spanish translation to Germaine de Foix, dowager queen of Aragon as the wife of Ferdinand II. Catherine's support for De institutione and the association of its translations with a royal household, printer, or event became an important feature of its production and longevity. This book restores women to the history of De institutione and recovers a cultural understanding of its vernacular editions in England and Spain, especially with regard to queenship and public authority.

An essential resource for women navigating their own reproductive healthcare and making decisions as active participants with fully informed consent

Women are staging a reproductive rebellion. For decades, public health has organised reproduction around a simple premise: women should prevent pregnancy with effective contraception unless deemed "fit" for motherhood - and treat abortion as exceptional failure. That settlement is now unravelling. Pill use is declining sharply; abortion rates are at record highs. TikTok misinformation, inadequate sex-ed and overstretched contraceptive services are widely blamed.

This book argues that diagnosis is wrong.

As sexual norms and relationships shift and technology transforms reproductive timelines - allowing pregnancy to be detected days before a missed period and ended safely at home - women's tolerance for the Pill's side effects, and for being the default managers of sexual risk is diminishing. This book explores why the revolt began - and what a revolution might look like

Across many jurisdictions in the Global North, lack of credibility is the primary basis for rejecting sexual orientation, gender identity/expression and sex characteristics (SOGIESC) asylum applications. This edited collection examines how disbelief poses one of the most complex challenges for queer asylum seekers worldwide.

The contributions in this book highlight how assessments in various asylum systems in the Global North are based on stereotypical, feeling-centric and western-centric models, that fail to reflect the complexities of sexual and gender diversity, often perpetuating unlawful bias and leading to unjust decisions. Bringing together theory and practice, the collection explores these issues across diverse geographical contexts, employing a multidisciplinary approach.

Crucially, the collection offers a variety of critical and empirical interventions, advocating for a fairer and more inclusive asylum system and adherence to human rights and refugee law.

Why do we keep returning to the Weimar Republic as a focal point for queer and trans histories, and why are images so crucial to our understanding of this period? This volume brings together research from disciplines including history, art history, literature, film, performance, and gender studies to explore the ongoing resonances of visual and narrative queer mythologies from Weimar Germany, often considered a “golden age” for queer culture and a period of relative rights and freedoms.

Chapters contribute new readings of classic Weimar art and film while significantly expanding the archive of queer Weimar by examining new or previously overlooked visual materials and relations: from occult practices to the vagaries of human-animal love, and from trans representations on film to the ambiguous tensions of forbidden intergenerational desire. Taken together, this volume generates a deep understanding of the twentieth-century emergence of queer and trans subjects through visual media; it develops methods that give prominence to the voices and perspectives of the historical subjects of sexual science; and it critically interrogates past practices of sexual knowledge production for understandings of LGBTQI lives today.

The overlooked story of non-combatant women who risked and bizarrely relished dangerous seas during the Second World War

In wartime, women and children are supposed to be kept out of danger zones. But during the Second World War, thousands of civilians voyaged in one of the most significant waterborne mobilisations in history. Military personnel and merchant seafarers were sailing to defeat the enemy and transport essential supplies; by contrast, women took to the seas, impelled by love, professional ambition, and adventurousness. They braved bombs and torpedoes with prams and swimsuits.

Jo Stanley reveals the other side of war at sea by unearthing the voyage stories of entertainers, refugees, escorts, military dependents, and missionaries. Sallying forth to new lands, or fleeing to safe havens, some were pregnant, faking courage, or having fun ashore when they could. Against the wishes of admirals and ship's captains, unwelcome women negotiated realms of masculine bellicosity, as well as hyper-protective chivalry. Thousands created domestic niches on war vessels and explored a culture that had previously excluded civilian femininity.

Jo Stanley retells the story of wartime women at sea, and shows how they shaped the maritime world.

Homophobia in Nazi Concentration Camps is a seminal study of the often-stigmatised topic of homophobia among prisoners in Nazi camps. This book reinterprets how prisoner memory and historical historiography reported on same-sex relations and challenges the silence surrounding queerness in the Holocaust, a frequently overlooked aspect of Holocaust history.

Utilising the lens of prisoner perception, the book explores the paths of victims and survivors, who were persecuted by the Nazis and had same-sex relations in the camp. It traces the hierarchies and societal norms in the camp, providing a momentous glimpse into the workings of the prisoner society. Through the captivating analysis of early testimonies, oral histories, memoirs and extensive archival materials, the book empathetically reconstructs the experiences and lives of victims and survivors, who had previously been silenced, developing a new and important perspective on camp society.

Historian Uta Rautenberg takes a victim- and survivor-centered approach and provides an analysis of queer experiences and accusations. The book explores both female and male experiences and thus contributes to gender history, women's history, and the history of sexuality. It offers explanations for gender differences in homophobia and queer experiences and reminds us of the indispensable need for an inclusive approach to history.

Violence against women is conventionally framed as interpersonal violence perpetrated by men. While intimate partner violence and sexual assault are significant social problems, such a narrow framing obscures the diversity of women’s experiences, fails to illuminate the role social structures play, and excludes discussions of workplace, state, institutional, and symbolic violence. By drawing on a range of theoretical traditions emerging from feminism, criminology, and sociology, Women and Gendered Violence in Canada significantly broadens the conversation on violence against women.

Social scientists Chris Bruckert and Tuulia Law begin by developing the conceptual and contextual framework underpinning gendered violence followed by an examination of its various manifestations: interpersonal, workplace, and structural. Each chapter puts historical context in conversation with current social issues, attends to the diversity of women’s experiences, and critically considers normative social and carceral "solutions," while highlighting women’s resistance. First person narratives are integrated throughout to personalize the material and issues being examined, and each chapter ends with a suggested activity to facilitate further engagement.

This thoroughly updated second edition of Women and Gendered Violence in Canada considers recent shifts and changes in Canadian society, discourses, and laws.

This book examines the various roles women played in royal succession from ancient Western Asia to the modern United Kingdom. It argues that royal succession, from antiquity to modernity, has rarely, if ever, been self-evident. In many ways, a period of succession is a time of crisis, one in which royal women often play important roles. Regardless of whether the monarch has died after a period of illness, been killed in war or in a plot, succumbed to an accident when jousting, or been deposed, imprisoned, or forced into exile, a power vacuum ensues. Successions, whether anticipated or unforeseen, thus pose problems that call for various considerations; a wide array of stakeholders, including powerful women, are affected by the consequences and seek to influence succession.

Anxious Intersectionality offers an ethnographic exploration of feminist activism in Stockholm, Scandinavia’s largest city and a vibrant hub for feminist organizing in the late 2010s.

Drawing on thirteen months of immersive fieldwork across a diverse range of activist spaces ? including a queer feminist safe-space vegan cafe, Sweden’s feminist political party and its youth wing, an organization for male feminists and allies, a women and non-binary separatist fanzine group, feminist markets, protests, and social media ? the book examines the pervasive anxiety that shapes feminist activism today. Rather than treating anxiety as a personal or psychological issue, the book elaborates on how it is collectively produced and practiced within an activist community through the concept of interpretive precedence. Confronting the sources and drivers of internal conflict and anxiety in activist spaces, researcher Kristian Sandbekk Norsted highlights how movements risk becoming pacified and fragmented.

Offering a rare look into the world of activist communities, Norsted explores intersectionality beyond the bounds of theory. The book offers a critical yet empathetic account of underlying tensions within activist groups, contributing to broader debates on feminism, activism, intersectionality, and the emotional politics of social movements.

Black women academics often navigate higher education systems that render them hyper(in)visible or intellectually disposable.

This book explores their experiences in British and postcolonial British Caribbean universities, drawing on intersectional frameworks and qualitative research. Through in-depth interviews and intersectional renderings, it examines how these scholars resist marginalization, build community, and challenge institutional inequities. Grounded in Black British Feminism and Afro-Caribbean Feminist Thought, the volume illuminates the strategies that sustain and transform academic lives while addressing systemic barriers.

This is an important contribution to debates on race, gender, and coloniality in comparative higher education, offering insight for researchers, educators, and policymakers committed to equity and inclusion.

The ebook edition of this title is Open Access, thanks to Knowledge Unlatched funding, and freely available to read online.

Chapters examine the experiences of girl-identified adolescents of Color and the strengths, skills, and competencies that they use to navigate through their different educational contexts while simultaneously making sense of their intersectional identities.

Forthcoming Fall 2026

Albert Moll (1862-1939) was a Berlin psychiatrist and neurologist whose work helped establish psychotherapy, sexology, and medical ethics as scientific disciplines. In Andreas-Holger Maehle's first scientific biography, Moll, who has often remained in the shadow of eminent contemporaries, emerges as a pivotal and controversial figure who merits sustained scholarly attention.

Moll made influential contributions to the treatment of nervous and sexual disorders, most notably by introducing hypnotic suggestion therapy in Germany despite strong resistance. Working outside Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis, he developed his own theory of sexuality and a distinctive therapeutic approach to what were then labelled deviant desires. As a founder of sexual science, he served as a medical expert in court cases, and his distinction between physical and affectionate components of desire proved enduring. Moll's intellectual independence was connected with uncompromising commitment to scientific objectivity, and this set him apart from his contemporaries. He rejected Freud's emphasis on childhood sexuality; criticized Magnus Hirschfeld's activist sexual politics; opposed parapsychology and occultism; and, in AErztliche Ethik (1902), he reconceived the doctor-patient relationship as a tacit contract centred on patient self-determination, particularly in hospital experimentation. Moll's ideas anticipated later principles of autonomy and informed consent, while his public criticism of unethical practices in Berlin hospitals, alongside his other public disputes, marginalized him.

Drawing on scientific and popular writings, as well as archival sources including Moll's forensic reports, this engaging biography offers a compelling account of an innovator and fierce critic in the medical world of Imperial and Weimar Germany.

This book challenges us to rethink the foundations of gender and development and how a genuinely pluralistic approach to gender justice might be built. Written against the backdrop of shrinking aid budgets, political disillusionment and renewed calls for localisation, it argues that the central challenge facing gender and development is not simply conflict between feminism and its critics, but a deeper epistemological and ethical problem rooted in the dominance of western Euro-North American frameworks and their encounter with diverse religious, cultural and gender worldviews.

Drawing on fifteen years of interdisciplinary ethnographic research in East and West Africa and migrant communities in Europe, the book examines how a transnational epistemic community?spanning academia, international standards-setting bodies, consultancies, NGOs and state actors?has shaped and sustained dominant gender paradigms in international development. It shows how these paradigms have marginalised non-western, religious and tradition-oriented perspectives, while also tracing how grassroots actors, faith-based organisations and feminist movements negotiate, adapt and sometimes subvert their coloniality. At the same time, the book acknowledges the persistence of gender inequalities and abuses, often justified in cultural or religious terms, alongside the continuing importance of feminist and human rights frameworks in cross-cultural responses. Rather than advocating either for universalist or culturally relativist solutions, it proposes developing an 'epistemology of disagreement' as a practical and ethical framework for engaging divergent gender worldviews through reflexivity, humility and sustained deliberation across difference.

Drawing on insights from Project dldl, the book offers both a critical reappraisal of the contemporary gender and development apparatus and a practical vision for more equitable partnerships, rebalanced knowledge production and context-sensitive approaches to gender justice in a rapidly evolving global landscape.

By the mid-eighteenth century, anatomy was one of medicine's most dynamic fields, dominated by men but reliant on women's bodies and knowledge. This dependence gave women a complicated and often overlooked role in the development of modern medicine.

Women, Gender, and Anatomy in Enlightenment France reveals how the dissection, study, and representation of female bodies became central to the professional training and social authority of medical practitioners, transforming anatomy into both a scientific enterprise and a performance of expertise. Margaret Carlyle demonstrates how women shaped anatomical culture not only as objects of study but also as educators, entrepreneurs, and practitioners working alongside male surgeons and physicians. She argues that this participation reflected a broader feminization of anatomy, marked by a growing fascination with women's reproductive bodies, the rise of lifelike female anatomical models in wax and plaster, and the specialized training of surgeons and midwives. Women contributed directly to anatomical practice through dissection, modelling, illustration, and teaching, as seen in the careers of Marie-Marguerite Biheron and Marie-Genevieve-Charlotte Thiroux d'Arconville. Yet even as women participated across arenas of anatomical knowledge production - from classrooms and amphitheatres to museums, print culture, and workshops - their involvement remained controversial and their contributions marginalized.

By placing women's bodies and labour at the heart of eighteenth-century medical science in France, this history presents a gendered rethinking of the origins of modern anatomy.

This groundbreaking study offers the first comprehensive analysis of misogyny within the Eastern context, and uniquely, within Hong Kong's digital landscape during the 2019-20 Hong Kong protests. Centred on the Golden Forum, Hong Kong's only right-leaning online community with a distinct subculture, Misogyny Beyond the West explores how misogyny manifests and circulates online in times of sociopolitical upheaval.

By conceptualising misogyny as a distortion of the public sphere, Chris Tsui positions the Golden Forum as one of the last remaining digital spaces for public discourse in Hong Kong's post-National Security Law era. Through a two-phase research design including qualitative content analysis of forum posts and interviews with forum members and managers-this work uncovers both overt and subtle expressions of misogyny, revealing how contempt for women permeates online interactions and potentially influences offline relationships and societal norms. Challenging Western-centric definitions, Tsui proposes a spectrum-based understanding of misogyny, highlighting the dangers of its normalisation and the invisibility of its more subtle but equally harmful manifestations.

Insightful reading for scholars of digital media, gender and Asian studies, Misogyny Beyond the West offers a timely intervention into the study of misogyny and the public sphere in a region where democracy and dissent are increasingly under threat.

Women's independent travel and the negotiation of risk and respectability

Women Traveling by Themselves in Nineteenth-Century America is a critical anthology of travel writing by women who journeyed without male escort. The collection brings together diaries, rare publications, and selections from canonical writers such as Harriet Martineau, Margaret Fuller, and Isabella Bird, alongside lesser known figures, including Rachael Morgan Ball, whose diary is published here for the first time.

By framing selections with substantive editorial introductions, David J. Langum Sr. situates these texts within broader debates about gender, mobility, and independence. Rather than focusing solely on literary expression, the anthology foregrounds the material and social dimensions of travel, revealing the perils and possibilities women encountered on the road.

These accounts challenge assumptions that independent female travel was exceptionally dangerous while illuminating women's agency during a period of dynamic social and technological change. This anthology is ideal for courses in women's history and life writing, transportation history, and mobility studies.

Navigating Higher Education as Black Male Faculty: Strategies for Resilience, Mentorship, and Institutional Change centers the voices and lived realities of Black men in the academy, a space that promises equity yet perpetuates racial exclusion and marginalization.

Moving beyond deficit narratives, this book blends autoethnography, research-informed analysis, and practical toolkits to illuminate strategies for resilience, mentorship, and institutional transformation. Contributors surface daily experiences of bias, isolation, and hyper-visibility while offering actionable guidance for classroom practice, promotion, and policy design. It challenges symbolic diversity commitments, positioning Black male faculty as essential architects of systemic change.

With case studies, reflection prompts, and concrete recommendations, this collection provides a roadmap for thriving and a blueprint for institutions committed to recruiting, supporting, and retaining diverse talent.

This book focuses on the affective experiences of women in contemporary Iran, exploring how they feel and inhabit urban space in a post-revolutionary society. It acknowledges the presence and influence of religion in everyday life when considering how places are experienced and remembered. Drawing on the work of Hartmut Rosa, this book conceptualises the body as a ‘resonant medium’?one that is socially constructed and serves as a reservoir of memory and affective experiences from the past that can be accessed via the senses. The author analyses the narratives of Iranian women alongside her own lived experience, employing fieldwork conversations and autoethnography to examine the emotional, sensory, and imaginative connections to specific places in the city of Isfahan. The study highlights the role of multisensory engagement in shaping memory and covers visual, auditory, tactile, and gustatory dimensions. The chapters move across topics such as mourning and martyrdom, the call to prayer and ritual singing, wearing a veil, and spatial regulation. Addressing themes, including belonging, exclusion, loss, and absence, this book offers insight into the connection between the self and the world. It will be of interest to scholars of anthropology, sociology, religion, gender studies, and Middle East studies.

Published to great acclaim in French and now available for the first time in English, Elissa Mailaender's groundbreaking book explores how the Nazi regime used sexuality to promote political loyalty, conformity, and cohesion among "ordinary" Germans. Beginning before the collapse of the Weimar Republic and continuing through the postwar American occupation of Germany, Mailaender's study highlights the complex and conflicted ways that sexual "liberation," repression, and violence were used and experienced in the everyday lives of citizens of the Reich. Her analysis draws on a vast array of sources, from legal dossiers to private photographs and letters, as well as public archives, magazines, and movies. Mailaender's findings are often uncomfortable; she demonstrates, for example, that a significant number of women who were not persecuted by the regime saw shifts in gender and sexual norms as positive developments-ones that some felt were lost under the American occupation, with its own routines of military sexual exploitation. What emerges is a portrait of a regime that was less interested in repressing sexuality than in reinventing it according to a racist, elitist, and homophobic agenda.
