Across scholarship on gender and sexuality, binaries like female
versus male and gay versus straight have been problematized as a
symbol of the stigmatization and erasure of non-normative subjects
and practices. The chapters in Queer Excursions offer a series of
distinct perspectives on these binaries, as well as on a number of
other, less immediately apparent dichotomies that nevertheless
permeate the gendered and sexual lives of speakers. Several
chapters focus on the limiting or misleading qualities of
binaristic analyses, while others suggest that binaries are a
crucial component of social meaning within particular communities
of study. Rather than simply accepting binary structures as
inevitable, or discarding them from our analyses entirely based on
their oppressive or reductionary qualities, this volume advocates
for a re-theorization of the binary that affords more complex and
contextually-grounded engagement with speakers' own orientations to
dichotomous systems. It is from this perspective that contributors
identify a number of diverging conceptualizations of binaries,
including those that are non-mutually exclusive, those that
liberate in the same moment that they constrain, those that are
imposed implicitly by researchers, and those that re-contextualize
familiar divisions with innovative meanings. Each chapter offers a
unique perspective on locally salient linguistic practices that
help constitute gender and sexuality in marginalized communities.
As a collection, Queer Excursions argues that researchers must be
careful to avoid the assumption that our own preconceptions about
binary social structures will be shared by the communities we
study.
The Oxford successful read about indigenous knowledge series was
designed to develop learners understanding of indigenous peoples,
their languages, cultures and heritage. Through a selection of
non-fiction readers, the series aims to inspire learners to read
about, speak about and write about the values, needs, views and
rights of indigenous peoples in our diverse country. While reading,
learners will become aware of the significant role of indigenous
peoples, their cultures, beliefs and heritage. These are examined
in the context of sustainable development and the development of
all the cultures and languages in our country. The titles in this
series present an interesting collection of the indigenous
knowledge related to each learning area in the intermediate phase.
The series also inspires learners to give creative responses to the
texts they have read in the form of activities, projects and
research. Teachers and parents are advised on ways to help learners
with this. This series will be enjoyed by all learners in the
intermediate phase and beyond. It has been designed to be
accessible to learners whether English is their home language or an
additional language.

Sponsored by the Communication, Information Technologies, and Media
Sociology section of the American Sociological Association
(CITAMS), Volume 19 of Emerald Studies in Media and Communications
draws on global case studies that examine media use by millennials.
By bringing together contributors and case studies from four
continents to examine millennial digital media practices, the
volume charts out multiple dimensions of Gen Y's digital media
engagements: smartphone use among Israelis, the activities of
Brazilian youths in LAN houses, selfies in the New Zealand context,
and American millennials engaged in a variety of digital pursuits
ranging from seeking employment, to content creation, to gaming, to
consuming news and political content. Through these case studies we
see parallels in the mediated millennial experience across key
digital venues including Twitter and YouTube, and MMOs.
None-the-less, contributors also prompt us to keep in mind the
importance of those millennials without equal access to resources
who must rely on public venues such as libraries and LAN Houses.
Across these venues and arenas of practice, the research provides
an important collection of research shedding important light on the
first generation growing up with the normative expectation to
perform digital identity work, create visual culture, and engage in
the digital public sphere.

How does it feel when someone you love develops dementia? How do
you cope with the shock, the stress and the grief? Can you be sure
that you and your family will receive the support you need? In
Telling Tales About Dementia, thirty carers from different
backgrounds and in different circumstances share their experiences
of caring for a parent, partner or friend with dementia. They speak
from the heart about love and loss: 'I still find it hard to
believe that Alzheimer's has happened to us,' writes one
contributor, 'as if we were sent the wrong script.' The stories
told here vividly reflect the tragedy of dementia, the gravity of
loss, and instances of unsatisfactory diagnosis, treatment and
care. But they contain hope and optimism too: clear indications
that the quality of people's lives can be enhanced by sensitive
support services, by improved understanding of the impact of
dementia, by recognising the importance of valuing us all as human
beings, and by embracing and sustaining the connections between us.
This unique collection of personal accounts will be an engaging
read for anyone affected by dementia in a personal or professional
context, including relatives of people with dementia, social
workers, medical practitioners and care staff.
Inclusive Practice: Sociological Concepts for Health Professionals
introduces students to the socio-political implications of the work
they will be doing within the healthcare sector. It embraces the
multi-disciplinary nature of work in the health professions, and
applies the term inclusive practice to focus attention on its
relevance to all health care professionals with the shared aim of
improving health outcomes. The text considers the interface between
health care delivery, health care professionals and population
groups, while providing a critical approach to examining the
strategies for inclusive practice in contemporary Australian health
care.
