Throughout the history of the genre, the superhero has been
characterised primarily by physical transformation and physical
difference. Superhero Bodies: Identity, Materiality, Transformation
explores the transformation of the superhero body across multiple
media forms including comics, film, television, literature and the
graphic novel. How does the body of the hero offer new ways to
imagine identities? How does it represent or subvert cultural
ideals? How are ideologies of race, gender and disability signified
or destabilised in the physicality of the superhero? How are
superhero bodies drawn, written and filmed across diverse forms of
media and across histories? This volume collects essays that attend
to the physicality of superheroes: the transformative bodies of
superheroes, the superhero's position in urban and natural spaces,
the dialectic between the superhero's physical and metaphysical
self, and the superhero body's relationship with violence. This
will be the first collection of scholarly research specifically
dedicated to investigating the diversity of superhero bodies, their
emergence, their powers, their secrets, their histories and their
transformations.
Ensuring that higher education students are fully prepared for
lives as global citizens is a pressing concern in the contemporary
world. This book draws on insights from cosmopolitan thought to
identify how people from different backgrounds can find common
ground. By applying cosmopolitan insights to higher education
practice, Sarah Richardson charts how students can be given the
opportunity to experience a truly international education, which
emphasises deep cultural exchange rather than mere transactional
contact. Written in an engaging and accessible style, the author
uses empirical evidence to show that simply studying alongside
those different to themselves or studying overseas are inadequate
in preparing students to lead the diverse societies of tomorrow.
Instead, the book calls for a coherent approach to higher education
that properly prepares students to lead global lives. Chapters
highlight a number of key aspects of higher education practice,
from curriculum to pedagogy, to educator skills to assessment, and
demonstrate how these can be reconsidered to give students the
opportunity to gain cosmopolitan attributes during their higher
education. Cosmopolitan Learning for a Global Era will be of great
interest to researchers, scholars and postgraduate students, with a
particular focus on cosmopolitan thought, international education
and higher education more broadly, as well as university educators
and leaders across a wide range of disciplinary areas.
Traditional analyses of nineteenth-century politics have assigned
women a peripheral role. By adopting a broader interpretation of
political participation, the author identifies how middle-class
women were able to contribute to political affairs in the
nineteenth century. Examining the contribution that women made to
British political life in the period 1800-1870 stimulates debates
about gender and politics, the nature of authority and the
definition of political culture. This volume examines female
engagement in both traditional and unconventional political arenas,
including female sociability, salons, child-rearing and education,
health, consumption, religious reform and nationalism. Richardson
focuses on middle-class women's social, cultural, intellectual and
political authority, as implemented by a range of public figures
and lesser-known campaigners. The activists discussed and their
varying political, economic and religious backgrounds will
demonstrate the significance of female interventions in shaping the
political culture of the period and beyond.

It's Your Life. Rise Up and Run with It. From Sidelines to Start
Lines is for former runners who are feeling frustrated and like
frauds for sitting on the couch or behind the computer for far too
many days (or years). If you want to get back into running to
improve your health, your social life, and your sanity, this book
is for you. When you clarify what has really been holding you back
and keeping you from logging your miles, you will be free to train
effectively for any race and victoriously cross any finish line.
Drawing from her own experience as a runner who had to overcome a
four-year hiatus and her work with run-ning clients, Sarah
Richardson carefully explains what it takes to successfully
re-create healthy running habits in your busy life. While training
plans and books about running are easy to come by, From Sidelines
to Start Lines takes it a step further. Rather than just telling
you what you should do, what you should buy, and how far to run,
Sarah Richardson helps frustrated runners deal with the Inner Game
that often keeps people sidelined. She teaches you how to lay a
solid running foundation with four supportive pillars that will
create a joyful, personal, and sustainable running plan. With
practical activities and real-life examples, this book will teach
you how to commit to rather than resist your practice.

That the self is performed, created through action rather than
having a prior existence, has been an important methodological
intervention in our understanding of human experience. It has been
particularly significant for studies of gender, helping to
destabilise models of selfhood where women were usually defined in
opposition to a male norm. In this multidisciplinary collection,
scholars apply this approach to a wide array of historical sources,
from literature to art to letters to museum exhibitions, which
survive from the medieval to modern periods. In doing so, they
explore the extent that using a model of performativity can open up
our understanding of women s lives and sense of self in the past.
They highlight the way that this method provides a significant
critique of power relationships within society that offers greater
agency to women as historical actors and offers a challenge to
traditional readings of women s place in society. An innovative and
wide-ranging compilation, this book provides a template for those
wishing to apply performativity to women s lives in historical
context.
This book was originally published as a special issue of "Women
s History Review.""

Broken Boundaries is a collection of seven real-life stories told
by the women who have lived them. Each of these women placed their
trust in a professional (mental health nurse, psychiatrist,
psychotherapist, psychotherapist, mental health social worker,
counsellor, GP) at a time of need and vulnerability and each of the
professionals exploited that trust. Some of the exploitation was
sexual and some was psychological or emotional. All of the
exploitation had devastating effects on the women. As a part of
their ongoing recovery from the abuse they suffered, each of the
women has had the courage and resolve to share their stories. Each
of the authors takes the reader through a telling journey of
blurred boundaries, dependency, exploitation and the aftermath.
These stories contain crucial insights for other people going
through similar experiences, for those trying to help them and for
those who hold positions of trust.
