This exciting book examines how human tissues and cells are being
exchanged, commodified and commercialized by new health
technologies. Through a discussion of emergent global tissue
economies' the author explores the social dynamics of innovation in
the fields of tissue engineering and stem cell science. The book
explores how regenerative medicine configures and conceptualizes
bodies and argues that the development of regenerative medicine is
a feminist issue. In Regenerating Bodies, Kent critically examines
the transformative potential of regenerative medicine and whether
it represents a paradigm shift from more traditional forms of
biomedicine. The book shows that users of these technologies are
gendered and women's bodies are enrolled in the production of them
in particular ways. So what is the value of a feminist bioethics
for thinking about the ethical issues at stake? Drawing on
extensive qualitative field research, Kent examines the issues
around donation, procurement, banking and engineering of human
tissues, and presents an analysis of the regulatory and policy
debates surrounding these practices within Europe and the UK. The
book considers the claims that regenerative medicine represents
exciting possibilities for treating the diseases of ageing bodies,
critically assessing what kind of futures are embodied in tissue
and cell based therapies. It will be of interest to a wide range of
scholars and students within the social sciences, in health
technology studies, bioethics, feminist studies, and gender and
health studies.
Speech, language, and communication are key to young children's
well-being and development. At a time when communication contexts
and modalities are becoming increasingly complex and multifaceted,
this key text considers how pedagogical approaches, environments,
and interactions can be used to develop and harness the voice of
the child in the early years. Communication for the Early Years
takes a broad, ecological systems approach to communication to
present theoretical approaches and principles which map a child's
communication experiences in the home, the early years setting, in
the local community, through play, and engagement with digital
media and the enabling environment, including the outdoor
environment. Topics considered include: the role played by
pedagogical leadership in the development of an effective
communication environment aspects of the physical environment which
encourage or inhibit communication effective communication in and
between settings the importance of toys and resources developments
in digital communication and their impact on the child Chapters
consider perspectives of the child, family, and practitioner to
encourage a holistic and collaborative understanding of interaction
and the role this plays in a child's development, while case
studies, examples from practice and reflective questions inspire
discussion, challenge thinking, and encourage the application of
research in practice. An in-depth exploration of the factors which
impact on the development of a child's communication skills, this
will be key reading for students and practitioners in the Early
Years, as well as those involved in their training and continued
professional development.
