- Description
- In this publication, the author draws upon four years of on-the-ground research in a major US women's prison to uncover why tougher drug policies have so greatly affected those incarcerated there, and how the very nature of punishment in women's detention centers has been deeply altered as a result. Through interviews with prisoners and state personnel, she reveals that popular so-called ‘habilitation' drug treatment programs force women to accept a view of themselves as inherently damaged, aberrant addicts in order to secure an earlier release.

- Description
- Once focusing solely on reproduction and reproductive matters, the study of women's health has expanded to include diseases common among women. The United States has established an office dedicated to researching women's health issues, and the Women's Health Initiative has begun collecting data on the prevention of diseases. Yet the health care issues affecting diverse groups of women have remained underfunded and understudied. 'Diversity and Women's Health' calls attention to this glaring discrepancy and presents cutting-edge research on women's health from a feminist perspective. The contributors argue that the health issues specific to lesbians, elderly women, women of color, immigrant women, and disabled women must become a central part of the broader conversation on women's health in the United States.

- Description
- Despite over thirty years of activism and legislation to eliminate discrimination, parity has yet to be achieved for women in academe. This book describes policy discourse analysis as a framework for considering how those involved in policy-making efforts may make use of discourses that inadvertently undermine the intended effect of the policies they set forth. Allan illustrates the methods of policy discourse analysis by describing their use in a study of twenty-one women's commission reports. Her findings reveals how dominant discourses of femininity, access, professionalism, race, and sexuality contribute to constructing women's status in complex and at times, contradictory ways.

- Description
- One year ago the editors of this book published 'Inexcusable Abscence' in which they concluded that three-quarters of girls who are not attending school around the world are members of socially excluded minority groups. This new book includes the more detailed technical analysis, and the country case studies on which the previous book was based. This analysis adresses the role of ethnic and linguistic heterogeneity in explaining differences across countries in school enrollment. Countries with highly heterogeneous populations are compared with countries with homogeneous populations.

- Description
- This special section is based on a series of reading seminars, workshops and lectures on the concept of intersectionality held at the VUB Centre of Expertise on Gender, Diversity, and Intersectionality (RHEA) in 2013 and 2014. The focus of these events was on the question of whether and in what way, the concept of intersectionality should inform both policy-oriented research and equality laws and policies. Myra Marx Ferree claims that the travel of intersectionality from the highly racialized context of the United States to the European context implies that feminist scholars should be much more attentive to their proper white (and other) privileges. Power, she says, is a relationship, and intersectionality can therefore only be understood in a dynamic fashion: relations and power struggles - with varying and simultaneous winners and losers - need to put in place stable categories and antipodal positions. Helma Lutz conceives of intersectionality as a heuristic device or a method that allows for uncobring both visible and invisible strands of inequality and processes that underpin privilege and disadvantage. Mieke Verloo addresses the issue of whether positive action is still desirable. By highlighting the impact of positive actions on multiple intersectional categories Verloo shows that specific effects is needed to establish equality. Policy-makers need to be very careful in defining intersectional categories, since they are always contextualized. Dagmar Schiek discusses the field of the feminist and intersectional battle: the EU non-discrimination law. These are some of the essays and articles that shows a wide variety of methods and analyse a diverse set of country cases and intersecting identiy markers and show that intersectionality is a fruitful research area feeding into policy and law-making.
