Why has the response to HIV/AIDS been unique? How did civil society
organizations gain access to global decision-making forums to
demand exceptional attention and resources for HIV/AIDS? This book
seeks to answer these questions, among others, through a critical
international relations approach that enquires into the role of
civil society in global health governance. It documents how civil
society forged the initial response to HIV/AIDS within a
rights-based paradigm, and built international networks. It
analyses why civil society was able to gain the right to
participate in global health institutions and assesses what
influence civil society representatives have within these
institutions, particularly focusing on outcomes related to
institutional legitimacy and downward accountability. It then
discusses changes in the broader political economy of global health
and how HIV/AIDS organizations have, or have not, adapted to these
shifts. Finally the book tells the story of the many struggles
civil society organizations have engaged in to advance a
rights-based response to HIV/AIDS, the transformations achieved and
the resistance experienced.

New essays on Thomas Traherne challenge traditional critical
readings of the poet. Thomas Traherne has all too often been
defined and studied as a solitary thinker, "out of his time", and
not as a participant in the complex intellectual currents of the
period. The essays collected here take issue with this reading,
placing Traherne firmly in his historical context and situating his
work within broader issues in seventeenth-century studies and the
history of ideas. They draw on recently published textual
discoveries alongside manuscripts which will soon be published for
the first time. They address major themes in Traherne studies,
including Traherne's understanding of matter and spirit, his
attitude towards happiness and holiness, his response to solitude
and society, and his Anglican identity. As a whole, the volume aims
to re-ignite discussion on settled readings of Traherne's work, to
reconsider issues in Traherne scholarship which have long lain
dormant, and to supplement our picture of the man and his writings
through new discoveries and insights. Elizabeth S. Dodd is

With the vast majority of healthcare and social workers identifying
as women, the vanguard of the COVID-19 response was distinctly
gendered. In Conscripted to Care Julia Smith introduces us to the
women who faced the worst effects of the pandemic and the
inequities it exposed. Through clear prose and fascinating critical
analysis, she documents their largely unseen contributions and
sacrifices, both professional and domestic. Drawing on interviews
and focus groups with nearly two hundred women from a range of
backgrounds and occupations, Smith reveals how structural
inequality put women on the frontlines of the pandemic response,
yet with inadequate resources and little voice in decision-making.
Women shouldered not only the triple burden of paid work, unpaid
care, and mental load, but also increased emotional labour. While
some women were categorized as “essential,” others remained in
the shadows. All faced unsustainable workloads, moral distress, and
burnout while continuing to demand better services for those in
their care. An analysis of Canada’s COVID-19 response from the
perspective of those who staffed it, Conscripted to Care presents
crucial lessons for those interested in public health and how it
relates to gender and economic equality, as well as public policy.
The work of Bryan D. Palmer, one of North America's leading
historians, has influenced the fields of labour history, social
history, discourse analysis, communist history, and Canadian
history, as well as the theoretical frameworks surrounding them.
Palmer's work reveals a life dedicated to dissent and the difficult
task of imagining alternatives by understanding the past in all of
its contradictions, victories, and failures. Dissenting Traditions
gathers Palmer's contemporaries, students, and sometimes critics to
examine and expand on the topics and themes that have defined
Palmer's career, from labour history to Marxism and communist
politics.

Born in a small Irish town straddling the border of Tipperary and
Waterford, the young John Joseph O'Connor was educated on the
Continent by the Benedictines at Douai before being ordained a
Catholic priest in March 1895. While his whole life was to be spent
as a parish priest, he became known for possessing one of the
finest intellects in early-twentieth-century Europe. Friend and
confidant of statesmen, writers, and artists, his own literary
output was prolific. His ability to distinguish between the genuine
and false, in people as well as works of art, led to him assembling
an art collection whose sale funded almost half the cost of
building his first church. He built up a further valuable
collection of art and antiques, but did not have to resort to its
sale to build his second, and quite controversial, church.
Controversy was something Mgr O'Connor never shied away from. He
was loved and revered by his parishioners, most of whom were
totally unaware of his close friendship with so many eminent
figures beyond the confines of his parish. One of these, G. K.
Chesterton, is now being proposed for beatification, and it was he
who turned his friend into his fictional priest-detective, Father
Brown, who knew more about the underworld than the criminals
themselves. And it was Mgr O'Connor who was to guide Chesterton
along the path to Catholicism and receive him into the Church. Mgr
O'Connor commissioned the Stations of the Cross and other
sculptures for his Bradford parish from Eric Gill, but he had a
much deeper involvement with the Ditchling group of Arts and Crafts
workshops. He not only translated the French philosophy of Jacques
Maritain for them but also collaborated with Gill on the
publication of Song of Songs and Song of the Soul with their highly
controversial and sexually explicit engravings. This, his only,
biography aims to introduce the shadowy figure who slipped in and
out of so many different worlds to a larger public who never
suspected he had so many fingers in so many pies.
