- Description
- In this brief, WEDO (Women’s Environment and Development Organization) argues that gender equality is a critical element of effective, sustainable climate action. After a short background about integration of gender perspectives into all climate finance, it proposes alternatives for constructing a climate finance portfolio that is feminist. It also highlights key challenges and opportunities for understanding gender-responsive programmes. 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.

- Description
- This book considers the experience and relationships of those whose sexuality and gender may not align with the heterosexual "norm", using a psychoanalytic approach. It confronts the heteronormative bias dominant in psychoanalysis, using a combination of theoretical and clinical material. The contributors address the shift clinicians must make not only to support their patients in a more informed and non-prejudicial way, but also to recognize their own need for support in developing their clinical thinking.

- Description
- This collection of essays explores how monstrosity challenged social, religious, sexual and natural structures and hierarchies in the period 1500-1750 and contributed to its knowledge, moral and emotional repertoire. Based on various medicinal and philosophical primary sources, exceptional bodies in the form of e.g. prodigious births, hermaphrodites, collections of extraordinary things, powerful women, disabilities, and shapeshifting phenomena are examined in a period before all varieties and differences became normalized to a homogenous standard.

- Description
- This volume considers the interrelation between bodily interventions, intimate labour and vulnerable bodies. It examines how different kinds of biotechnology processes and regulations affect those who seek interventions and help. The interventions include for example help-seeking in the context of intimate partner violence, body modifications for those affected by female genital cutting or gender-affirming surgeries. The authors argue that the vulnerabilities created by these interventions, derive partly from the interventions themselves but also from the ways different regulations enable or disable people access to medical treatment.

- Description
- Artemisia Gentileschi (1593–1654 or later) is the most celebrated woman artist of the baroque period in Italy. Her career spanned more than 40 years, as she moved between Rome, where she was raised and trained by her father, Orazio Gentileschi, to Florence, where she gained artistic independence and became the first female member of the city’s academy of artists, and to Venice, London, and Naples. Often featuring heroic female subjects, her paintings were predominantly intended for private clients. This book includes essays on her life and career: a discussion of her personal and artistic relationship with her father: a summary of critical writings and an overview of the wide range of approaches to Artemisia’s work since her rediscovery by feminist art historians more than 50 years ago: a more personal insight into Artemisia through her letters: a discussion of the artist’s self-representation in her work: and an essay dedicated to her painting technique.

- Issues of equity and justice are fundamental concerns of government, thus to public administrators, who struggle to evaluate a country's social climate and ensure equity in governance. However, government actors are often too uncomfortable to directly engage the topic. This volume explores and expands the understanding of this "nervousness" in the administration of government services around the world. It shows the ways in which such an emotional and physical can debilitate the government actions to equity and justice.
