This book applies the concept of cultural safety to the field of
health psychology in a US context as a means to achieve health
equity. First developed in New Zealand by Maori midwives, cultural
safety can be understood as both a philosophy and a way of working
within a social model of health as an alternative approach to
understanding health and illness. Health, social, and human service
professionals are at the forefront of interactions with a range of
people who often experience disparities in health and social
outcomes. In thirteen chapters, the authors explore the social
determinants of health; the practices and pitfalls of intercultural
communication; and community capacity, resilience, and strengths as
correctives to discourses of deficiency. The book concludes with a
comparative look at cultural safety in different national contexts,
and a discussion of the value of critical reflective practice.
Complete with chapter objectives, scenarios, suggested readings and
films, and questions for critical thinking, this book is an
invaluable resource for students and practitioners alike in health
psychology and related fields, and a vital contribution to the
literature on cultural safety.
Galliano: Spectacular Fashion is the first detailed guide to the
work of one of fashion's greatest talents. Though the designer's
otherwise glittering career has been punctured by years out of the
limelight, his catalogue of work remains astonishing. Written by
internationally renowned fashion expert Kerry Taylor, this
beautifully illustrated and meticulously researched book looks in
depth at John Galliano's collections from his 1984 graduate show at
Saint Martins to his triumphant renaissance at Maison Margiela in
2015. With never-before-seen images of rare designs from private
couture archives, close ups revealing the intricacies of garments,
and iconic runway shots showing the designer's most innovative
creations in motion, this visually rich book examines his
revolutionary designs in unprecedented depth. In addition, original
interviews with the designer as well as the people who worked
closely with him throughout his career shed new light on both the
clothes and the context in which they were created. A must-have for
fashion lovers, collectors and researchers alike, Galliano:
Spectacular Fashion is the ultimate overview of the work of a
design genius.
This book brings to life initiatives among scholars of the south
and north to understand better the intelligences and pluralities of
multilingualisms in southern communities and spaces of
decoloniality. Chapters follow a longue duree perspective of human
co-existence with communal presents, pasts, and futures;
attachments to place; and insights into how multilingualisms
emerge, circulate, and alter over time. Each chapter, informed by
the authors' experiences living and working among southern
communities, illustrates nuances in ideas of south and southern,
tracing (dis-/inter-) connected discourses in vastly different
geopolitical contexts. Authors reflect on the roots, routes and
ecologies of linguistic and epistemic heterogeneity while
remembering the sociolinguistic knowledge and practices of those
who have gone before. The book re-examines the appropriacy of how
theories, policies, and methodologies 'for multilingual contexts'
are transported across different settings and underscores the
ethics of research practice and reversal of centre and periphery
perspectives through careful listening and conversation.
Highlighting the potential of a southern sociolinguistics to
articulate a new humanity and more ethical world in registers of
care, hope, and love, this volume contributes to new directions in
critical and decolonial studies of multilingualism, and to
re-imagining sociolinguistics, cultural studies, and applied
linguistics more broadly.

Doing Research within Communities provides real-life examples of
field research projects in language and education, offering an
overview of research processes and solutions to the common
challenges faced by researchers in the field. This unique book
contains personal research narratives from sixteen different and
varied fieldwork projects, providing advice and guidance to the
reader through example rather than instruction and enabling the
reader to discover connections with the storyteller and gain
insights into their own research journey. This book: provides
advice, practical guidance and support for engaging with a
community as a research site; covers the real-life theoretical,
ethical and practical issues faced by researchers, such as language
choice in multilingual communities, and the insider/outsider status
of the researcher; discusses challenges posed by a variety of mono-
and multilingual settings, from remote island communities to large
urban areas; includes research from across the Asia-Pacific area,
including Australia, New Zealand and East Timor, and also the US.
Doing Research within Communities is essential reading for early
career researchers and graduate students undertaking fieldwork
within communities.

Part I of a IV Part Series Melissa Adams believes she has it all
she acts like the perfect housewife, mother, friend, and daughter.
Referred to as Baltimores first lady. Her hair is styled to
perfection, her skin is as soft as new-born baby's bottom, and her
wardrobe is to die for Melissa has this image, because it is
expected of her. She has been groomed by her mother from birth to
be 'perfect' in every way. She sets up a prenatal and postnatal
group, Nearly Natal to shine as a star in her Country Club for
reaching out to the community. Instead she has children urinating
on her shoes, women dripping breast milk as they walk and acting as
a midwife in one session. As Melissa sessions commence she learns
so much about herself and the true meaning of being a mother. She
gets more than she bargains for her in weekly sessions of Nearly
Natal.
