This book explores the concept of consent in different contexts
with an aim toward exploring the nuances of what consent means to
different people and in different contexts. While it is generally
agreed that consent is a fluid concept, legal and social attempts
to explain the meaning of consent often centre on overly
simplistic, narrow and binary definitions and to view consent as
something that occurs at a specific point in time. This book
examines the nuances of consent and how it is enacted and
re-enacted in different settings (including online spaces) and
across time. Consent is most often connected to the idea of sexual
assault and is often viewed as a straight-forward concept and one
that can be easily explained. Yet there is confusion among the
public, as well as among academics and professionals as to what
consent truly is and even the degree to which individuals
conceptualise and act on their own ideas about consent within their
own lives. Topics covered include: consent in digital and online
interactions, consent in education, consent in legal settings and
the legal boundaries of consent, and consent in sexual situations
including sex under the influence of substances, BDSM, and kinky
sex. This book will appeal to students and scholars interested in
issues of consent from the social sciences, gender theory, feminist
studies, law, psychology, public health, and sexuality studies.

This book explores ‘difficult conversations’ in feminist theory
as an integral part of social and theoretical transformations.
Focusing on intersectionality within feminist theory, the book
critically addresses questions of power and difference as a central
feminist concern. It presents ethical, political, social, and
emotional dilemmas while negotiating difficult conversations,
particularly in terms of sexuality, class, ‘race’, ethnicity
and cross-identification between the researcher and researched.
Topics covered include challenging cultural relativism; queer
marginalisation; research and affect; and feminism and the digital
realm. This book is aimed primarily at students, lecturers and
researchers interested in epistemology, research methodology,
gender, identity, and social theory. The interdisciplinary nature
of the book is aimed at reaching the broadest possible audience,
including those engaged with feminist theory, anthropology, social
policy, sociology, psychology and geography.
Although the Surrey towns of Walton-on-Thames and Weybridge were
for many years served by the London bus network, there were also a
number of small scale locally based operators running bus services,
before selling out to London Transport in the 1930s. Such companies
ran coaches for private hire, contracts and pleasure outings,
commencing just after the First World War. This book seeks to newly
record the history of these proprietors and put the activities of
the London General Omnibus Company and later London Transport into
local context. The story starts in the 1890s with horse drawn buses
linking with the local railway stations and carries the reader
through the dawn of the motor era, the rise of the charabanc,
entrepreneurial opportunities in the 1920s and consolidation in the
1930s, World War Two and the gradual decline of bus services from
the 1960s. It culminates in a return to a de-regulated operating
environment in 1986. Capturing the story of Ben Stanley's Coaches
(amongst other pioneers) by using primary source material , the
book covers more than just routes and vehicles - it attempts to
show how road passenger transport was influenced by local social
historic and economic activity.
This book looks at the varied bus companies that once served this
Sussex market town from the turn of the twentieth century to the
present day. Laurie James tells of the ups and downs of the humble
companies that operate bus services in and around Horsham.
Profusely illustrated with many images, the book will be of
interest to both locals and bus enthusiasts alike.
Laurie James spent most of her life wondering what it means to
belong; loneliness dictated the choices she made. She rarely shared
this secret with others, however; it was always hidden behind a
carefree and can-do attitude. When she's in her mid-forties,
Laurie's mother has a heart attack and her husband's lawyer
delivers some shocking news. She suddenly finds herself sandwiched
between caring for her parents, managing unruly caregivers, raising
four teenage daughters, and trying to understand the choices of the
husband she thought she knew. Laurie's story is about one woman's
struggle to "do it all" while facing the reality that the "ideal
life" and "perfect family" she believed could save her was slowly
crumbling beneath her. Laurie tries everything to keep her family
together-seeks therapy, practices yoga, rediscovers nature,
develops strong female friends, and begins writing-but as she
explores the layers of her life and heals her past, she realizes
that she's the only one who can create the life she wants and
deserves. Sandwiched is a memoir about what it means to let go of
the life you planned in order to find the life you belong to.
