INTRODUCTION TO HEALTH CARE FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING, 2E. This health
care finance book is specifically designed for readers with little
or no accounting or finance background. The latest discussions
detail cost reimbursement programs, economic factors driving the
rising costs of medical services and health care reform -- from the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 through future
trends. Health care-related examples show you the importance of
what you're learning as you study the basics of health care
accounting and finance, from accounting fundamentals, operating the
cash drawer and bank reconciliation through more complex issues of
cash management, budgeting and variance analysis and revenue cycle
management. Engaging case scenarios, helpful learning features and
optional MindTap digital further reinforce what you learn.
What is feminist transdisciplinary research? Why is it important?
How do we do it? Through 19 contributions from leading
international feminist scholars, this book provides new insights
into activating transdisciplinary feminist theories, methods and
practices in original, creative and exciting ways - ways that make
a difference both to what research is and does, and to what counts
as knowledge. The contributors draw on their own original research
and engage an impressive array of contemporary theorising -
including new materialism, decolonialism, critical disability
studies, historical analyses, Black, Indigenous and Latina
Feminisms, queer feminisms, Womanist Methodologies, trans studies,
arts-based research, philosophy, spirituality, science studies and
sports studies - to trouble traditional conceptions of research,
method and praxis. The authors show how working beyond disciplinary
boundaries, and integrating insights from different disciplines to
produce new knowledge, can prompt important new transdisciplinarity
thinking and activism in relation to ongoing feminist concerns
about knowledge, power and gender. In doing so, the book attends to
the multiple lineages of feminist theory and practice and seeks to
bring these historical differences and intersections into play with
current changes, challenges and opportunities in feminism. The
book's practically-grounded examples and wide-ranging theoretical
orbit are likely to make it an invaluable resource for established
scholars and emerging researchers in the social sciences, arts,
humanities, education and beyond.

Material Feminisms: New Directions for Education provides a range
of powerful theoretical and innovative methodological examples to
illuminate how new material feminism can be put to work in
education to open up new avenues of research design and practice.
It poses challenging questions about the nature of knowledge
production, the role of the researcher, and the critical endeavour
arising from inter- and post-disciplinarity. Working with
diffractive methodologies and new materialist ecological
epistemologies, the book offers resources for hope which widen the
scope for how educational problems are interrogated, and provides a
political counter-movement to neo-positivist, outcomes-based
approaches within education. Inspired by writers such as Barad,
Bennett, and Deleuze and Guattari, the book makes a radical break
with cognitive, dualist, and universal conceptions of human
subjectivity and intelligence in education. By taking its starting
point as the co-consitutiveness of discourse, materiality,
corporeality, and place, the book foregrounds educational practices
as material enactments of multiple, non-linear, entangled,
affective, and relational forces. It offers new insights into how
gender, class, and ethnicity are constituted in, and by, material
assemblages that are often submerged or 'unseen'. This book is an
essential starting place for those intrigued by what new
theoretical accounts of materiality, posthumanism, and affect can
offer educational research. Diffractive methodologies challenge
readers to take a fuller range of actors into account than in
'objective' humanist methodologies, and in so doing to pay closer
attention to what data is. It invites researchers to engage with
long-standing feminist concerns about power and knowledge
production in research processes. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Gender and Education.
Gender in Learning and Teaching brings together leading gender and
feminist scholars to provide a unique collection of international
research into learning and teaching. Through dialogues across
national traditions and boundaries, the authors provide new
insights into the relations between feminist scholarship of
pedagogy, gender and didactics, and offer in-depth accounts that
critically investigate how gender relations are enacted, contested
and analysed at the level of the classroom, the curriculum, and the
institution. Drawing on original research, the chapters explore
gender dynamics in relation to student-teacher interactions,
gendered classroom practices, curriculum content and knowledge
formation in different subjects. The book includes accounts of
innovative approaches to curriculum development to address gender
inequality. It includes new theoretical frameworks and
methodological approaches which provide fresh insights into
gendered practices including intersectionality, new material
feminism, epistemic gender positioning and cultural anthropology.
The chapters span all education phases from early years to higher
education. This book makes a compelling case for the continuing
relevance of feminist pedagogy and the urgent need for strategies
to address gender inequalities in the classroom and beyond. It will
be of great interest to academics and postgraduate students in the
fields of theory, philosophy and feminist politics of learning and
teaching; education and didactics; feminism and pedagogy; sociology
and the arts.
