Failing Families,Failing Science: Work-family Conflict in

Work life in academia might sound like a dream: summers off,year-long sabbaticals,the opportunity to switch between classroom teaching and research. Yet,when it comes to the sciences,life at the top U.S. research universities is hardly idyllic. Based on surveys of over junior and senior scientists,both male and female,as well as in-depth interviews,Failing Families,Failing Science examines how the rigors of a career in academic science makes it especially difficult to balance family

Unbending Gender: Why Family and Work Conflict and What to

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Williams, Joan, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, In Unbending Gender, Joan Williams takes a hard look at the state of feminism in America. Concerned by what she finds--young women who flatly refuse to identify themselves as feminists and working-class and minority women who feel the movement hasn't addressed the issues that dominate their daily lives--she outlines a new vision of feminism that calls for workplaces focused on the needs of families and, in divorce cases, recognition of the value of family work and its impact on women's earning power. Williams shows that workplaces are designed around men's bodies and life patterns in ways that discriminate against women, and that the work/family system that results is terrible for men, worse for women, and worst of all for children. She proposes a set of practical policies and legal initiatives to reorganize the two realms of work in employment and households--so that men and women can lead healthier and more productive personal and work lives. Williams introduces a new 'reconstructive' feminism that places class, race, and gender conflicts among women at center stage. Her solution is an inclusive, family-friendly feminism that supports both mothers and fathers as caregivers and as workers.

Gender,Work,and Family in a Chinese Economic Zone: Laboring

This book examines the dynamics of power within the families of married women who have migrated from rural areas to China's Dalian Economic Zone. Engaging the question of whether waged work gives women power in their families,this ethnographic study finds that women do indeed use their new positions and urban status to negotiate their family status. However,women use these new resources not necessarily to promote their own individual liberation,but rather to strengthen their contribution as wives and,e

In Conflict and Custody

In Conflict and Custody: Myriads of unhappy women feel overwhelmed by formal legal processes and a criminal justice system they believe to be ridden with gender and other biases. Personal crises, whether in their captive lives or in correctional institutions, leave women facing dead ends and crossroads that cause lasting visible and invisible damage to body and mind if not addressed. They need help that is professional without being intimidating. In Conflict and Custody recommends fine-tuned agenda-free professional counselling as the most constructive method of addressing the mental health issues of women in two problematic contexts in the Indian society-conflict and custody. The book imparts theoretical and practical guidance for trainers and would-be counsellors to equip them for therapeutic counselling of women faced with a range of personal, social, and legal problems. It demonstrates how professionally conducted therapeutic intervention can be the most empathetic way of enabling and empowering distressed women to take charge of their lives.

But how can we explain this proliferation of armed conflicts What caused them and what were their main characteristics And what did the world&apos s governments do to stop them < /p> < p> In addressing these and other questions, Paul Williams offers the first comparative assessment of more than two hundred armed conflicts which took place in Africa between and - from the continental catastrophe in the Democratic Republic of Congo to the environmental disaster in the Niger Delta and mass atrocities in the Sudan. Taking a broad comparative approach to examine the political contexts in which these wars occurred, he explores the key ingredients that provoked them and the major international responses undertaken to deliver lasting peace.< /p> < p> Part I, Contexts provides an overview of the most important attempts to measure the number and scale of Africa&apos s armed conflicts and provides a conceptual and political sketch of the terrain of struggle upon which these wars were waged.< /p> < p> Part II, Ingredients analyses the role of five widely debated features of Africa&apos s wars: the dynamics of neopatrimonial systems of governance the construction and manipulation of ethnic identities questions of sovereignty and self-determination as well as the impact of natural resources and religion.< /p> < p> Part III, Responses, discusses four major international reactions to Africa&apos s wars: attempts to build a new institutional architecture to help promote peace and security on the continent this architecture&apos s two main policy instruments, peacemaking initiatives and peacekeeping operations and efforts to develop the continent.< /p> < p> < i> War and Conflict in Africa< /i> will be essential reading for all students of international peace and security studies as well as Africa&apos s international relations.< /p>
