This volume explores the intersections of welfare, gender and
mothering work in the context this political reality. It explores
austerity and the policies of neoliberal governments that work to
deprive some mothers of their welfare. This volume also explores
how motherhood is socially constructed in various social locations
and places around the world. Last, it examines different ways of
thinking about mothering and what changes to laws and policies are
required to assist all who are mothering and provide better support
to their families.
The Nurturing Teacher tackles the concerns of stressed teachers.
Whether from nurturance suffering (stress related to caring for
students) or from the piles of paperwork yet to be tackled, this
text helps the reader sort through the causes of stress, the
emotional, physical and social reactions to stress and how one can
begin to plan a stress management plan. The book includes a
historical overview of feminist education, the perception of caring
teachers in the media and a look at emotional labor and the impact
on the teacher.
Ideas of choice and rights traditionally dominate discussions
concerning reproduction and gender politics. Fertile Ground argues
that the current political climate in Canada necessitates a broader
understanding of the links between the politics of reproduction,
the state, and gender relations. Three major themes are developed
in the book: women's lived experiences, the role of the state in
reproductive politics, and discourses around reproduction.
Contributors examine unequal access to in vitro fertilization
treatments depending upon class, race, age, disability, and health
status; critique Health Canada's adherence to a medical model of
breastfeeding; analyze marketing campaigns for birth-control
products; and recount the Aamjiwnaang First Nation's experience of
seeking recognition for reproductive health concerns. Fertile
Ground links reproduction to marginalization, contestation, and the
state in order to illuminate the continuity of reproductive moments
and their implications for identity, activism, policy formation,
and further scholarship. A timely and multidisciplinary account of
reproduction and gender politics in Canada, Fertile Ground will
interest academics, activists, and professionals involved in the
areas of women's studies, politics, sociology, and public health.
