#MeToo and the Politics of Social Change, 1^st Edition

Palgrave MacMillan  |   2019   |   ISBN-13: 9783030152130

#MeToo has sparked a global re-emergence of sexual violence activism and politics. This edited collection uses the #MeToo movement as a starting point for interrogating contemporary debates in anti-sexual violence activism and justice-seeking. It draws together 19 accessible chapters from academics, practitioners, and sexual violence activists across the globe to provide diverse, critical, and nuanced perspectives on the broader implications of the movement. It taps into wider conversations about the nature, history, and complexities of anti-rape and anti-sexual harassment politics, including the limitations of the movement in the Global South. It features both internationally recognized and emerging academics from across the fields of criminology, media and communications, film studies, gender and queer studies, and law. This will appeal broadly to the academic community, activists, and beyond. This book includes a foreword from Professor Walter DeKeseredy; offers critical, rigorous, and accessible perspectives on #MeToo from an internationally diverse set of contributors; seeks to understand the limitations of the movement, given that it emerged in the Global North; and reflects on the ways that #MeToo ignited a renewed consciousness about sexual harassment and rape amongst women.

Sociological Perspectives on Educating Children in Contemporary Society, 1^st Edition

Information Science Reference   |   2020   |   ISBN-13: 9781799818496

Children of post-industrial society are often expected to have achieved financial status by their efforts—sustained from early periods of life—and be equipped with various qualities, both in terms of formal and informal education and extracurricular and leisure activities. Contemporary children almost inherently know how to use the devices of information technology, and through these devices, they encounter ideas, languages, and more that are different from the ones immediately experienced within their social frame. Consequently, students demand new, inclusive teaching practices that will expose them to global cultures. Sociological Perspectives on Educating Children in Contemporary Society is a collection of innovative research on the methods and applications of how culture influences the way children are educated. While highlighting topics, including global economics, multicultural teaching, and education differentiation, this book is ideally designed for teachers, sociologists, school administrators, curriculum designers, course developers, academics, researchers, and students seeking current research on the interrelationship between children, education, and society.
