This volume provides an extensive overview of current research on
the complex relationships between gender and communication.
Featuring a broad variety of chapters written by leading and
upcoming scholars, this edited collection uses diverse theoretical
frameworks to provide insight into recent concerns regarding
changing gender roles, representations, and resources in
communication studies. Established research and new perspectives
address vital themes in this comprehensive text, including the
shifting politics of gender, ethical and technological trends in
gendered media, and gender in daily life. Comprising 39 chapters by
a team of international contributors, the Handbook is divided into
six thematic sections: * Gendered lives and identities *
Visualizing gender * The politics of gender * Gendered contexts and
strategies * Gendered violence and communication * Gender advocacy
in action These sections examine central issues, debates, and
problems, including the ethics and politics of gender as identity,
impacts of media and technology, legal and legislative
battlegrounds for gender inequality and LGBTQ+ human rights,
changing institutional contexts, and recent research on gender
violence and communication. The final section links academic
research on gender and communication to activism and advocacy
beyond the academy. The Routledge Handbook of Gender and
Communication will be an invaluable reference work for students and
researchers working at the intersections of gender studies and
communication studies. Its international perspectives and the range
of themes it covers make it an essential and pragmatic pedagogical
resource.
Performance Theories in Education: Power, Pedagogy, and the
Politics of Identity breaks new ground by presenting a range of
approaches to understanding the role, function, impact, and
presence of performance in education. It is a definitive
contribution to a beginning dialogue on how performance, as a
theoretical and pragmatic lens, can be used to view the processes,
procedures, and politics of education. The conceptual framework of
the volume is the editors' argument that performance and
performativity help to locate and describe repetitive actions
plotted within grids of power relationships and social norms that
comprise the context of education and schooling. The book brings
together performance studies and education researchers, teachers,
and scholars to investigate such topics as: *the relationship
between performance and performativity in pedagogical practice;
*the nature and impact of performing identities in varying
contexts; *cultural and community configurations that fall under
the umbrella of teaching, education, and schooling; and *the hot
button issues of educational policies and reform as performances.
With the aim of developing a clearer understanding of the effect,
affect, and role of performance in education, the volume provides a
crucial starting point for discourse among theorists and teacher
practitioners who are interested in understanding and acknowledging
the politics of performance and the practices of performative
social identities that always and already intervene in the
educational endeavor.
Performative Intergenerational Dialogues of a Black Quartet
promotes the importance of intergenerational Black dialogue as a
collaborative spirit-making across race, genders, sexualities, and
cultures to bridge time and space. The authors enter this dialogue
in a crisis moment: a crisis moment at the confluence of a
pandemic, the national political transition of leadership in the
United States, the necessary rise of Black, Indigenous, and People
of Color activism-in the face of the continued murders of unarmed
Black and queer people by police. And as each author mourns the
loss of loved ones who have left us through illness, the contiguity
of time, or murder, we all hold tight to each other and to memory
as an act of keeping them alive in our hearts and actions,
remembrance as an act of resistance so that the circle will be
unbroken. But they also come together in the spirit of hope, the
hope that bleeds the borders between generations of Black
teacher-artist-scholars, the hope that we find in each other's joy
and laughter, and the hope that comes when we hear both stories of
struggle and strife and stories of celebration and smile that lead
to possibilities and potentialities of our collective being and
becoming-as a people. So, the authors offer stories of witness,
resistance, and gettin' ovah, stories that serve as a road map from
Black history and heritage to a Black futurity that is mythic and
imagined but that can also be actualized and embodied, now. This
book will be of interest to scholars, students, and activists in a
wide range of disciplines across the social sciences and
performance studies.

Collaborative Spirit-Writing and Performance in Everyday Black
Lives is about the interconnectedness between collaboration,
spirit, and writing. It is also about a dialogic engagement that
draws upon shared lived experiences, hopes, and fears of two Black
persons: male/female, straight/gay. This book is structured around
a series of textual performances, poems, plays, dialogues, calls
and responses, and mediations that serve as claim, ground, warrant,
qualifier, rebuttal, and backing in an argument about collaborative
spirit-writing for social justice. Each entry provides evidence of
encounters of possibility, collated between the authors, for
ourselves, for readers, and society from a standpoint of individual
and collective struggle. The entries in this Black performance
diary are at times independent and interdependent, interspliced and
interrogative, interanimating and interstitial. They build
arguments about collaboration but always emanate from a place of
discontent in a caste system, designed through slavery and
maintained until today, that positions Black people in relation to
white superiority, terror, and perpetual struggle. With particular
emphasis on the confluence of Race, Racism, Antiracism, Black Lives
Matter, the Trump administration, and the Coronavirus pandemic,
this book will appeal to students and scholars in Race studies,
performance studies, and those who practice qualitative methods as
a new way of seeking Black social justice.

This text provides an overview of the interdisciplinary nature of
facilities management. It discusses the framework within which
facilites managers should operate and the key requirements of their
task.
The term Facilities Management has become global but fraught
with confusion as to what the term signifies. For some, notably in
the USA, Facilities Management remains a discipline of human
ecology. Elsewhere the term has become conflated with an
alternative meaning: providing or outsourcing the provision of
various services essential to the operation of particular
buildings. This volume redresses that imbalance to remind
Facilities Management of its roots, presenting evidence of
Facilities Management success stories that engage the wider
objectives of the organizations they serve, and engaging students,
scholars and critical practitioners of general management with an
appreciation of the power and influence of physical space and its
place in the theory and practice of organizations.
This book includes management perspectives from outside the
field to ensure that the issues raised are seen in an
organizational and management context, informing debate within the
Facilities Management fraternity. It draws on human ecology and the
perspective of the firm as, itself, an intra-organizational ecology
of social constructs. The ecology of a firm is not restricted to
the firm s boundaries. It extends to wider relationships between
the firm and its stakeholders including, in an age of outsourced
building services, the Facilities Management supply chain. This
volume offers arguments and evidence that managing such constructs
is a key role for Facilities Management and an important
participant in the provision of truly usable spaces.
Facilities Management sets out a new framework for the discipline
of facilities management which challenges many of the norms and
which sets out new methods for optimising the performance of a
business. Successful facilities managers need a range of skills and
need to be able to devise a range of innovative strategies for the
future of the organisations in which they work. This new book
follows on directly from Keith Alexander's ground-breaking textbook
Facilities Management and focuses on four new themes which have
been identified as keys to the new strategy: organisational change
and learning, innovation, performance and the knowledge workplace.
Russia has deployed cyber operations to interfere in foreign
elections, launch disinformation campaigns, and cripple neighboring
states-all while maintaining a thin veneer of deniability and
avoiding strikes that cross the line into acts of war. How should a
targeted nation respond? In Russian Cyber Operations, Scott Jasper
dives into the legal and technical maneuvers of Russian cyber
strategies, proposing that nations develop solutions for resilience
to withstand future attacks. Jasper examines the place of cyber
operations within Russia's asymmetric arsenal and its use of hybrid
and information warfare, considering examples from French and US
presidential elections and the 2017 NotPetya mock ransomware
attack, among others. A new preface to the paperback edition puts
events since 2020 into context. Jasper shows that the international
effort to counter these operations through sanctions and
indictments has done little to alter Moscow's behavior. Jasper
instead proposes that nations use data correlation technologies in
an integrated security platform to establish a more resilient
defense. Russian Cyber Operations provides a critical framework for
determining whether Russian cyber campaigns and incidents rise to
the level of armed conflict or operate at a lower level as a
component of competition. Jasper's work offers the national
security community a robust plan of action critical to effectively
mounting a durable defense against Russian cyber campaigns.

A key feature of this work is that it provides a structured
introduction which links the theory and practice of facilities
management. It takes a holistic, inclusive view of the subject,
encouraging the reader to use analytical techniques and to think
ahead, resulting in better performance and more efficient
management techniques.;It should be of interest to students and
professionals in facilities management, estate management, building
studies, business administration and leisure management.

This is the first book to dedicate scholarly attention to the work
of Tarell Alvin McCraney, one of the most significant writers and
theater-makers of the twenty-first century. Featuring essays,
interviews, and commentaries by scholars and artists who span
generations, geographies, and areas of interest, the volume
examines McCraney's theatrical imagination, his singular writerly
voice, his incisive cultural critiques, his stylistic and formal
creativity, and his distinct personal and professional
trajectories. Contributors consider McCraney's innovations as a
playwright, adapter, director, performer, teacher, and
collaborator, bringing fresh and diverse perspectives to their
observations and analyses. In so doing, they expand and enrich the
conversations on his much-celebrated and deeply resonant body of
work, which includes the plays Choir Boy, Head of Passes, Ms. Blakk
for President, The Breach, Wig Out!, and the critically acclaimed
trilogy The Brother/Sister Plays: In the Red and Brown Water, The
Brothers Size, and Marcus; Or the Secret of Sweet, as well as the
Oscar Award-winning film Moonlight, which was based on his play In
Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue.
