The text showcases the historical context of the discipline, with a strong focus on anthropology as a living and evolving field. There is significant discussion of recent efforts to make the field more diverse—in its practitioners, in the questions it asks, and in the applications of anthropological research to address contemporary challenges. In addressing social inequality, the text drives readers to consider the rise and impact of social inequalities based on forms of identity and difference (such as gender, ethnicity, race, and class) as well as oppression and discrimination. The contributors to and dangers of socioeconomic inequality are fully addressed, and the role of inequality in social dysfunction, disruption, and change is noted.11492022-03-11T07:23:02Z2024-01-22T14:52:30ZCase Studies in Community Psychology Practice: A Global Lens<img alt="Read more about Case Studies in Community Psychology Practice: A Global Lens" title="Case Studies in Community Psychology Practice: A Global Lens cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="447" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MzQ1NiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--0cfee3c05782a3b1c97a353b1a5346bab558fefa/casestudies_cover-350x447.png" />There is no better way to demonstrate the work and impact of community psychologists and allies than by showcasing actual projects conducted in partnership with communities.

With chapters written by experts across Australia, this book explores just some of the many ways that students can apply their training in psychological science across a variety of careers and sectors.11232022-01-08T01:44:32Z2024-01-22T14:52:29ZGendered Lives: Global Issues<img alt="Read more about Gendered Lives: Global Issues" title="Gendered Lives: Global Issues cover image" class="cover " width="132" height="170" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MzI4NSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--eea99bb4e245b559ae35c91b4606930be6b6200b/9781438486956-132x170.png" />A gender studies textbook that takes an anthropological approach. Gendered Lives takes a regional approach to examine gender issues from an anthropological perspective with a focus on globalization and intersectionality. Chapters present contributors’ ethnographic research, contextualizing their findings within four geographic regions: Latin America, the Caribbean, South Asia, and the Global North. Each regional section begins with an overview of the broader historical, social, and gendered contexts, which situate the regions within larger global linkages. These introductions also feature short project/people profiles that highlight the work of community leaders or non-governmental organizations active in gender-related issues. Each research-based chapter begins with a chapter overview and learning objectives and closes with discussion questions and resources for further exploration. This modular, regional approach allows instructors to select the regions and cases they want to use in their courses. While they can be used separately, the chapters are connected through the book’s central themes of globalization and intersectionality.11082021-12-01T17:26:45Z2024-01-22T14:52:29ZCulturas hispanas a través de la pantalla / Hispanic Cultures Through the Screen<img alt="Read more about Culturas hispanas a través de la pantalla / Hispanic Cultures Through the Screen" title="Culturas hispanas a través de la pantalla / Hispanic Cultures Through the Screen cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="450" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MzA5MiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--cdfc2d13461af0b9c43f8578d4d8ccbd5c05f156/Colorful-Lines-TV-Pop-Culture-T-Shirt-2-350x450.png" />Este libro de texto busca fomentar el visionado crítico de productos audiovisuales contemporáneos y el reflexionar sobre la representación de las culturas hispanas en webseries y vídeos musicales.

Despite more than thirty years of high-level, global talks on climate change, we are still seeing carbon emissions rise dramatically. This edited volume, comprising leading and emerging scholars and climate activists from around the world, takes a critical look at what has gone wrong and what is to be done to create more decisive action. Composed of twenty-eight essays—a combination of new and republished texts—the anthology is organised around seven main themes: paradigms; what counts?; extraction; dispatches from a climate change frontline country; governance; finance; and action(s). Through this multifaceted approach, the contributors ask pressing questions about how we conceptualise and respond to the climate crisis, providing both ‘big picture’ perspectives and more focussed case studies. This unique and extensive collection will be of great value to environmental and social scientists alike, as well as to the general reader interested in understanding current views on the climate crisis.10842021-10-13T15:43:56Z2024-01-22T14:52:28ZHuman Development<img alt="Read more about Human Development" title="Human Development cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="467" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Mjk1NSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--6c9eb0b41d9bc1dab2b7e7a7d3651f075e4e124d/thumbnail%20(3).jpg" />This open textbook is designed for Human Development, a core Psychology course.

Intended for use in a semester-long course, the text features classroom-tested examples and exercises that have been chosen to emphasize the relevance and applicability of the subject to everyday life. Three themes are developed as the text proceeds from argument identification and analysis, to the standards and techniques of evaluation: (i) the importance of asking the right questions, (ii) the influence of biases, cognitive illusions, and other psychological factors, and (iii) the ways that social situations and structures can enhance and impoverish our thinking. On this last point, the text includes sustained discussion of disagreement, cooperative dialogue, testimony, trust, and social media. Overall, the text aims to equip readers with a set of tools for working through important decisions and disagreements, and to help them become more careful and active thinkers.10722021-09-27T20:06:30Z2024-01-22T14:52:27ZImpact of Materials on Society<img alt="Read more about Impact of Materials on Society" title="Impact of Materials on Society cover image" class="cover " width="683" height="1024" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjkwMiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--7cede268423b289a341ecbad90f657d24729529d/IMOS_PB6x9Cover-683x1024.jpg" />This textbook supports the Impact of Materials on Society course and teaching materials, developed with the Materials Research Society.
