A NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY "BEST NEW COMIC OF 2022 FOR ADULTS"
Beautifully adapted and rendered through piercing illustrations by
acclaimed creators Brad Ricca and Courtney Sieh, Nellie Bly's
complete, true-to-life 19th-century investigation of Blackwell
Asylum captures a groundbreaking moment in history and reveals a
haunting and timely glimpse at the starting point for conversations
on mental health. "I said I could and I would. And I did." While
working for Joseph Pulitzer's newspaper in 1887, Nellie Bly began
an undercover investigation into the local Women's Lunatic Asylum
on Blackwell Island. Intent on seeing what life was like on the
inside, Bly fooled trained physicians into thinking she was
insane--a task too easily achieved--and had herself committed. In
her ten days at the asylum, Bly witnessed horrifying conditions:
the food was inedible, the women were forced into labor for the
staff, the nurses and doctors were cruel or indifferent, and many
of the women held there had no mental disorder of any kind. Now
adapted into graphic novel form by Brad Ricca and vividly rendered
with beautiful and haunting illustrations by Courtney Sieh, Bly's
bold venture is given new life and meaning. Her fearless
investigation into the living conditions at the Blackwell Asylum
forever changed the field of journalism. A timely reminder to take
notice of forgotten populations, Ten Days in a Mad-House warns us
what happens when we look away.
Electronic monitoring (EM) is a way of supervising offenders in the
community whilst they are on bail, serving a community sentence or
after release from prison. Various technologies can be used,
including voice verification, GPS satellite tracking and - most
commonly - the use of radio frequency to monitor house arrest. It
originated in the USA in the 1980s and has spread to over 30
countries since then. This book explores the development of EM in a
number of countries to give some indication of the diverse ways it
has been utilized and of the complex politics which surrounds its
use. A techno-utopian impulse underpins the origins of EM and has
remained latent in its subsequent development elsewhere in the
world, despite recognition that is it less capable of effecting
penal transformations than its champions have hoped. This book
devotes substantive chapters to the issues of privatisation,
evaluation, offender perspectives and ethics. Whilst normatively
more committed to the Swedish model, the book acknowledges that
this may not represent the future of EM, whose untrammelled,
commercially-driven development could have very alarming
consequences for criminal justice. Both utopian and dystopian hopes
have been invested in EM, but research on its impact is ambivalent
and fragmented, and EM remains undertheorised, empirically and
ethically. This book seeks to redress this by providing academics,
policy audiences and practitioners with the intellectual resources
to understand and address the challenges which EM poses.
The field of education policy research is a dense, crowded space
owing to its complicated relationship to different intellectual
histories and the influence of various ontologies or ‘turns’.
To aid comprehension and clarity, this book describes the history,
contribution and application of over 90 keywords in the field of
education policy research. It is designed as a reference, learning
and teaching tool to assist students, educators and researchers
with: • complex learning and teaching; • wider and background
reading and knowledge building; • critical scholarship and
research; • interdisciplinary thinking and writing; • theory
development and application.

This collection examines how the loss of state socialism as a
world-making project and the subsequent failures of postsocialist
"civil society building" have impacted new generations of
progressive, antinationalist, anarchist, and social-justice
oriented activists. How do the histories of state socialism come to
shape activist thinking and practice in Eastern Europe and the
Caucasus? What kinds of political work can and does emerge out of
this 30-year-long experience of political, social, and economic
transformation? Understanding postsocialism as an intersectional
experience and a geopolitically sensitive form of knowledge, this
collection of essays seeks to render visible the forms of political
activism in the region that are not tied to, or fully determined
by, specific moments of street protest and public interruption.
Instead, the contributors examine forms of activist effort that
endure in the aftermath of protest movements and in the course of
lingering crises, in order to capture how our interlocutors seek to
enact their desired futures under the conditions of intensifying
and shape-shifting pressures of neoliberal governance. The
ethnographies that span from Armenia to Ukraine, to
Bosnia-Herzegovina to the newly emerging transnational Balkan route
that refugees and migrants have created, illuminate how local
activists engage with and/or disengage from their socialist
inheritance of political imaginaries differently and imagine
different futures. Our collection argues for a need for a careful,
theoretically nuanced and context-specific analysis across the
uneven political landscapes of the former socialist world. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of History and Anthropology.

What do we actually do when we research education policy and
governance? Why do we tame the messy hinterland of research into
smooth accounts and what do we lose in the process? In this volume,
distinguished scholars in education policy and governance research
discuss how the practice of methods is messy, subjective, and
provisional. They approach methodology as riddled with tensions,
doubts, troubles, and mundane decisions. Scholarship in this book
shifts from recording the methodological hinterland to putting it
to productive use as resources for thinking about the researched
world and about research itself. This methodological openness helps
to examine how research reproduces scholars’ metaphysics, how
research is a deeply embodied process encompassing all senses, how
scholars’ concerns interfere in the worlds they study, but also
how these equally interfere with researchers. By challenging smooth
methodological accounts which conceal the complex and provisional
nature of research, this book offers new approaches in education
policy and governance research that are more generative,
insightful, and sincere. Offering new ways of thinking about
research methodologies, the book will be of great interest to
researchers, academics, and post-graduate students in the fields of
education research and education theory, as well as social
scientists interested in research methodologies more broadly.
What does obscene mean? What does it have to say about the means
through which meaning is produced and received in literary,
artistic and, more broadly, social acts of representation and
interaction? Early modern France and Europe faced these questions
not only in regard to the political, religious and artistic
reformations for which the Renaissance stands, but also in light of
the reconfiguration of its mediasphere in the wake of the invention
of the printing press. The Politics of Obscenity brings together
researchers from Europe and the United States in offering scholars
of early modern Europe a detailed understanding of the implications
and the impact of obscene representations in their relationship to
the Gutenberg Revolution which came to define Western modernity.
The latest volume in the World Yearbook of Education Series
explores the relationship between education and the globally
prevalent principle of nationalism. This book identifies the
diverse ways in which educational policies, discourses, curricula
and pedagogy embed and promote the concept of "the nation" both
historically and in the age of globalization. By challenging
accounts owed to the discourse of "globalization" which conceal the
presence of national epistemologies and interests in education,
this book offers important insights into the role of education in
making nationalism one of the most enduring and yet easily obscured
forces of our time. Organized into four sections, this book looks
at the following main issues: Historical (re)production of the
nation considers how countries consider and reproduce their
national identity and how this is built on their history Hegemonic
aspirations and interventions examines how instruction technologies
developed during the Cold War have been propagated and disseminated
around the world, how the development of educational policy based
on the human capital theory emerged, and analyzes the extent to
which tech companies are intent on establishing an imperial order
of learning Imperial policies and resurgences of nationalisms
explores how global or imperial policies have been indulged in
different parts of the world and how new forms of nationalism have
been emerging Paradoxes, inconsistencies, and a self-reflection
focuses on nations acting imperially as sites of domestic
injustices, addresses unresolved paradoxes between the global and
the national and includes a historically informed critical review
of the World Yearbooks of Education Bringing together the voices of
researchers from around the globe, The World Yearbook of Education
2022 is ideal reading for anyone interested in learning how
nationalism has affected the expansion of education systems and how
its imperial aspirations are currently affecting education policy
and practice. Chapter 5 of this book is freely available as a

In this illuminating book, Dr. Nellie Radomsky explores the
complexity of chronic pain in women and evidence for its
association with abuse--an issue largely unrecognized by medical
practitioners. Modern medical training emphasizes diagnosis and
cure, but chronic pain problems often have no identifiable organic
cause, and the women who suffer are often not listened to in the
doctor's office. Lost Voices: Women, Chronic Pain, and Abuse
addresses how women, by gaining knowledge of the ways the medical
culture--and the larger culture--have silenced them, may move into
a healing process and learn to speak out. The author encourages
women in pain to give voice to their buried experiences and shows
them that speaking out about their experiences with abuse and
chronic pain can be the first step on the road to healing. The
author explores the lost voices of women in pain through stories
based on her personal encounters with patients in her practice.
These women and their case histories help illustrate the
interactions of chronic pain and abuse and the complexity of the
doctor-patient relationship. Among the many areas Dr. Radomsky
examines are: how the medical culture has silenced women chronic
pain in women with a history of abuse the relationship of women's
healing processes and the sense of finding and expressing "lost
voices" the doctor-patient relationship and obstacles to healing
the limitation of medical models with respect to understanding
complex chronic pain issues how acute and chronic pain differ and
how physicians and patients alike struggle with this
understandingScientific but very readable, Lost Voices assists
readers in the search for answers to complex pain problems. It is a
hope-full resource for women struggling with chronic pain and
personal abuse issues and an enlightening guide for physicians,
therapists, and others working with these women. Professionals
working in the area of chronic pain, readers involved in feminist
issues, and academic physicians interested in medicine as culture
will find Lost Voices a revealing book.
Since the early decades of the 20th century, the notion of the
hormonally-constructed body has become the dominant mode of
conceptualizing bodies, particularly female bodies, to such an
extent that it is often assumed to be a natural phenomenon. This
book challenges the idea that there is such a thing as a "natural"
body and demonstrates that it is the process by which scientific
claims achieve universal status that constructs such discourses as
natural facts. The work tells the story of scientists' search for
the many tons of ovaries, testes and urine that were required in
experiments to develop the hormonal body concept. It traces the
origins of sex hormones and follows their development through
mass-production as drugs to their eventual transformation into the
contraceptive pill.
