Global Feminist Autoethnographies bears witness to our
displacements, disruptions, and distress as tenured faculty,
faculty on temporary contracts, graduate students, and people
connected to academia during COVID-19. The authors document their
experiences arising within academia and beyond it, gathering
narratives from across the globe—Australia, Canada, Ghana,
Finland, India, Norway, South Africa, the United Kingdom, the
United States along with transnational engagements with Bolivia,
Iran, Nepal, and Taiwan. In an era where the older rules about work
and family related to our survival, wellbeing, and dignity are
rapidly being transformed, this book shows that distress and
traumas are emerging and deepening across the divides within and
between the global North and South, depending on the intersecting
structures that have affected each of us. It documents our distress
and trauma and how we have worked to lift each other up amidst
severe precarities. A global co-written project, this book shows
how we are moving to decolonize our scholarship. It will be of
interest to an interdisciplinary array of scholars in the areas of
intersectionality, gender, family, race, sexuality, migration, and
global and transnational sociology.
This book will support you through each milestone of your research
project with step-by-step instructions to doing qualitative
research. Whatever type of data or data collection method you use,
it will help you to navigate the nuts and bolts of qualitative
research, from forming your research question to effectively
writing up. Your roadmap and toolbox all in one, it helps you
choose the best research tools for your project while managing any
challenges you might encounter along the way. It includes: *
Guidance on putting different research designs into practice,
including using technology for interviews, data management, and
unobtrusive research * Practical mapping tools, including
checklists and quick tips * Online case studies and further reading
to deepen your knowledge and expand your bibliography * Advice from
experts on how to design and implement excellent qualitative
research, including considerations of ethical issues. This book is
the perfect companion for social sciences students carrying out
their first qualitative research project.

A poignant account of everyday polygamy and what its regulation
reveals about who is viewed as an "Other" In the past thirty years,
polygamy has become a flashpoint of conflict as Western governments
attempt to regulate certain cultural and religious practices that
challenge seemingly central principles of family and justice. In
Forbidden Intimacies, Melanie Heath comparatively investigates the
regulation of polygamy in the United States, Canada, France, and
Mayotte. Drawing on a wealth of ethnographic and archival sources,
Heath uncovers the ways in which intimacies framed as "other" and
"offensive" serve to define the very limits of Western tolerance.
These regulation efforts, counterintuitively, allow the flourishing
of polygamies on the ground. The case studies illustrate a
continuum of justice, in which some groups, like white
fundamentalist Mormons in the U.S., organize to fight against the
prohibition of their families' existence, whereas African migrants
in France face racialized discrimination in addition to rigid
migration policies. The matrix of legal and social contexts,
informed by gender, race, sexuality, and class, shapes the everyday
experiences of these relationships. Heath uses the term
"labyrinthine love" to conceptualize the complex ways individuals
negotiate different kinds of relationships, ranging from romantic
to coercive. What unites these families is the secrecy in which
they must operate. As government intervention erodes their
abilities to secure housing, welfare, work, and even protection
from abuse, Heath exposes the huge variety of intimacies, and the
power they hold to challenge heteronormative, Western ideals of
love.

The meaning and significance of the institution of marriage has
engendered angry and boisterous battles across the United States.
While the efforts of lesbians and gay men to make marriage
accessible to same-sex couples have seen increasing success, these
initiatives have sparked a backlash as campaigns are waged to
"protect" heterosexual marriage in America. Less in the public eye
is government legislation that embraces the idea of marriage
promotion as a necessary societal good. In this timely and
extensive study of marriage politics, Melanie Heath uncovers broad
cultural anxieties that fuel on-the-ground practices to reinforce a
boundary of heterosexual marriage, questioning why marriage has
become an issue of pervasive national preoccupation and anxiety,
and explores the impact of policies that seek to reinstitutionalize
heterosexual marriage in American society. From marriage workshops
for the general public to relationship classes for welfare
recipients to marriage education in high school classrooms, One
Marriage Under God documents in meticulous detail the inner
workings of ideologies of gender and heterosexuality in the
practice of marriage promotion to fortify a concept of "one
marriage," an Anglo-American ideal of Christian, heterosexual
monogamy.
