- Drawing on the perspective of aging bodies in order to approach the study of contemporary Canadian women's fiction, the author seeks to understand body criticism in general because elderly physical experiences lay bare crucial assumptions of thinking through the body. It also investigates the mechanisms and effects of constructions of aging in order to combat the automatically negative reactions most readers have to the topic of old age.

- Description
- Writing against the grain of popular perception and moral panic, Shauna Pomerantz offers a look at the importance of style for girls in school. Fighting assumptions that girls today are dupes of media and capitalism, she argues that style is a significant cultural practice that demands to be taken seriously in the lives of girls. Based on an ethnography at an urban, multicultural high school in Vancouver's east side, Pomerantz contextualizes style as a form of expression that enables girls to produce fluid and multiple identities, social networks, individual images, expressions of agency and power, and cultural affiliations. She strikes a balance between making visible the impact of external forces on the girls in her study, and arguing the poststructuralist position that the girls have agency.

One of WEDO's recommendations is to use lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic to prioritize comprehensive, long-term feminist investing and monitoring.. .The brief consists of three parts: making the case for a feminist portfolio: opportunities for rethinking climate finance investments: transform discourse on effective climate finance.

Schacher analyses the Armenian refugee issue in the 1920s, pointing out striking continuities with more recent debates. All authors focus on gender as the primary analytical category. In the conclusion, we make comparisons between the countries and between the categories of migrants examined. All authors address the intersection of gender with other categories of analysis.'

Yet the election of openly LGBTQ people is a relatively recent phenomenon in the West. Queering Representation explores long-ignored issues relating to LGBTQ voters and politicians in Canada. What are the LGBTQ electorate’s characteristics and voting behaviours? What part do the media play in framing straight voters’ perceptions of out LGBTQ politicians? What pathways to power do LGBTQ politicians follow? Do they represent LGBTQ people and communities, and if so, how is this role articulated? And finally, how do Canadian party ideologies shape LGBTQ representation?

This anthology brings together international and interdisciplinary perspectives on the multitude of princess cultures, continuously redrawn and recast by grownups and girls from the Ancien Régime to the New Millennium.

- Black Lives Matter ontstond door een bericht op Facebook, n.a.v. de vrijspraak van de schutter die de zeventienjarige zwarte Trauvon Martin doodschoot toen deze met wat snoep en een blikje naar huis liep van de buurtwinkel. Arbeids- en burgerrechtenactivist Alicia Garza scheef een 'Liefdesbrief' aan zwarte mensen, die ze afsloot met de woorden 'Black people I love you. I love us. Our lives matter'. Medeactivist en vriende Patrisse Cullors, deelde die brief en gaf die de titel '#BlackLivesMatter'. Samen met Opal Tometi richtten ze vervolgens een internetplatform onder die naam. 'Black Lives Matter' werd de strijdkreet van de protesten, online en op straat, die de verontwaardiging samenvatte dat zwarte levens er in Amerika nog te weinig toe doen en dat een protestbeweging nodig is om daarop te wijzen.
