This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book
examines the current state of elective placements of medical
undergraduate students in developing countries and their impact on
health care education at home. Drawing from a recent case study of
volunteer deployment in Uganda, the authors provide an in-depth
evaluation of the impacts on the students themselves and the
learning outcomes associated with placements in low resource
settings, as well as the impacts that these forms of student
mobility have on the host settings. In addition to reviewing the
existing literature on elective placements, the authors outline a
potential model for the future development of ethical elective
placements. As the book concurs with an increasing international
demand for elective placements, it will be of immediate interest to
universities, intermediary organizations, students as consumers,
and hosting organisations in low-resource settings.
This book is a study of nostalgia, belonging and community which
provides a new theoretical framework for understanding retirement
migration. It is the first account of retirement migration that
focuses on the voices of retired working-class British women, who
are considering either return migration to the UK or
permanent/temporary settlement in Spain. Through a narrative
approach, we follow their journeys as they seek, recreate and
construct community in a new context and their experiences of
belonging and non-belonging are unravelled. The book offers a
critical perspective, challenging positivistic, essentialist
definitions of community.
Part of the New Approaches to Sociology series, Social Inequalities
is a relevant and valuable exploration of how we see the world,
through a decolonised lens. Aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate
students of sociology, this textbook offers a critical re-reading
of traditional approaches to understanding social inequalities and
responds to the call from university administrations, academics and
students to decolonise the curriculum and challenge its lack of
diversity. It presents an intersectional approach to understanding
diversity and social inequalities and, in so doing, allows for
alternative knowledge sources and voices to be heard. From looking
at social groups such as race, age, sexuality and class alongside a
nuanced evaluation of traditional sociological theories such as
Marxism, functionalism and feminism - this book is an expert guide
to the debates central to understanding the challenges individuals
face in society. Including personal stories and case studies,
students will be exposed to an authentic and real-world view of how
individuals have encountered discrimination. Social Inequalities is
an essential resource for anyone working and studying across
sociology, and anyone interested in challenging established ways of
looking at the world. Professor Anya Ahmed, Dr Deirdre Duffy and Dr
Lorna Chesterton work in the faculty of health and education at
Manchester Metropolitan University, UK.
