If God is calling women to lead, what's holding them back? Susan
Harris Howell has spent years helping students investigate this
question. In Buried Talents, she makes clear how gender disparity
in leadership is directly connected to a larger, less overt issue:
gendered socialization. Howell examines gendered messages people
encounter inside and outside the church in each stage of life,
showing how they often create misconceptions about who women are,
what they're capable of, and how they fit into God's work. As these
messages pull men toward leadership, they push women away from it.
God's call to leadership doesn't come in a vacuum. It comes to
particular people who have, from childhood through adulthood, been
shaped by subtle forms of socialization. Using social science
research and interviews to explain these forces, Howell offers
psychological and practical tools for both women and men to make
more balanced vocational decisions. A discussion guide and
suggested reading lists are also included to help readers engage
and apply the content. As opportunities for women continue to
expand, too many still hold back in responding to God's call.
Buried Talents provides compelling guidance for how we can remove
obstacles that keep women from fully using their gifts.
This collection identifies and discusses problems and opportunities
for the theory and practice of international criminal justice. The
International Criminal Court and project of prosecuting
international atrocity crimes have faced multiple challenges and
critiques. In recent times, these have included changes in
technology, the conduct of armed conflict, the environment, and
geopolitics. The mostly emerging contributors to this collection
draw on diverse socio-legal research frameworks to discuss
proposals for the futures of international criminal justice. These
include addressing accountability gaps and under-examined or
emerging areas of criminality at, but also beyond, the
International Criminal Court, especially related to technology and
the environment. The book discusses the tensions between
universalism and localisation, as well as the regionalisation of
international criminal justice and how these approaches might adapt
to dynamic organisational, political and social structures, at the
ICC and beyond. The book will be of interest to students,
researchers and academics. It will also be a useful resource for
civil society representatives including justice advocates,
diplomats and other government officials and policy-makers.

For feminist international law scholars, practitioners, and
advocates, the first two decades of the new millennium have
produced moments of elation and disenchantment. In the Research
Handbook on Feminist Engagement with International Law, a network
of scholars and practitioners from a diverse group of countries
contemplate the future of feminist engagement with international
law. Can international law increase its relevance, beneficence, and
impact for women in the developed and developing world? How can
international law deal with a much wider range of issues relevant
to women's lives than it currently does? What are the next
frontiers for gender and international law making, law reform, and
the beneficiaries of international law? The diverse global
contributions to this Research Handbook delineate a future where
feminist engagement with international law is robust, diverse,
inclusive, influential, and leads to positive change in women's
lives. The Research Handbook addresses larger themes of feminism
and international law that will interest international law and
gender studies scholars as well as HDR students. Additionally, this
exploration will prove to be an asset to UN and INGO networks,
regional organizations, and NGOs and social movements. Contributors

Gender and Transitional Justice provides the first comprehensive
feminist analysis of the role of international law in formal
transitional justice mechanisms. Using East Timor as a case study,
it offers reflections on transitional justice administered by a UN
transitional administration. Often presented as a UN success story,
the author demonstrates that, in spite of women and children's
rights programmes of the UN and other donors, justice for women has
deteriorated in post-conflict Timor, and violence has remained a
constant in their lives. This book provides a gendered analysis of
transitional justice as a discipline. It is also one of the first
studies to offer a comprehensive case study of how women engaged in
the whole range of transitional mechanisms in a post-conflict
state, i.e. domestic trials, internationalised trials and truth
commissions. The book reveals the political dynamics in a
post-conflict setting around gender and questions of justice, and
reframes of the meanings of success and failure of international
interventions in the light of them.

As the American Southwest faces its deepest drought in history,
this book explores the provocative notion ofwater bankruptcy with a
view towards emphasizing the diversity and complexity of water
issues in this region. It bridges between the narratives of growth
and the strategies or policies adopted to pursue competing agendas
and circumvent the inevitable. A window of opportunity provided by
this current long-term drought may be used to induce change by
dealing with threats that derive from imbalances between growth
patterns and available resources, the primary cause of scarcity. A
first of its kind, this book was developed through close
collaboration of a broad range of natural scientists, social
scientists, and resource managers from Europe and United States. It
constitutes a collective elaboration of a transdisciplinary
approach to unveiling the inner workings of how water was fought
for, allocated and used in the American Southwest, with a focus on
Arizona. Specifically, it offers an innovative scientific
perspective that produces a critical diagnostic evaluation of water
management, with a particular view to identifying risks for the
Tucson region that is facing continuous urban sprawl and economic
growth. The book offers a diversity of complementary perspectives,
including a statement of natural resources, biodiversity and their
management, an analysis of water policy and its history, and a
statement of ecosystem services in the context of both local
biodiversity and also the economic activities that sustain economic
growth. Finally, it presents a concerted effort to explore the
interplay between a variety of related scientific disciplines and
frameworks including climatology, hydrology, water management,
ecosystem services, societal metabolism, political economy and
social science.

How do evaluators of higher education go about their work? How are
groups of evaluators put together? How do they reach consensus on
the criteria of quality in the discipline or degree programme under
examination? What problems do evaluators encounter and how do they
resolve them? Susan Harris-Huemmert investigates these questions in
this detailed case study of an evaluation commission that inspected
education departments in the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg
(universities and teacher-training colleges) during 2003/2004. This
work takes up not only topics germane to evaluators of higher
education, but also illustrates the politics and contextual issues
surrounding the discipline of education in Germany during the first
decade of the 21st century.

In "The Ecco Anthology of International Poetry", introduced and
edited by Ilya Kaminsky and Susan Harris, poetic visions from the
20th century will be reinforced and in many ways revised. Alongside
renowned masters, there will be many new discoveries -
internationally celebrated poets who have rarely, if ever, been
translated into English. In conjunction with the organization Words
Without Borders - an online haven for international literature and
an ally to writers all over the world-Ecco presents a paperback
anthology that will surely serve as a canonical touchstone in the
field of poetics, bringing voices from afar to readers everywhere.
As aptly put in Words Without Borders' mission statement, this
collection also serves as part of 'the ultimate aim to introduce
exciting international writing to the general and literary public -
travelers, teachers, students, publishers, and a new generation of
eclectic readers - by presenting international literature not as a
static, elite phenomenon, but a portal through which to explore the
world'.
