How do different identities interact and affect the opportunities for individuals and groups in society?

The aim is to provide students and policy makers with theoretical resources and practical policy examples to help understand these debates. Learning from the experience with gender equality policy and improving equality policy for all is a central concern. The book includes examples demonstrating how new European Union legislation is playing out in policy practice and invites readers to use the resources for research and training., athena 3

(For titles see inside cover.), This collection of essays moves from a nodal point that regards the process of constructing women’s “nomadic” identities as informed by the notions of geographical and cultural dislocation, transcultural hibridity, history, loss, memory, contamination and their effect in the subject’s perception of the Real. Within this frame of thought, writing the experience of the ontological “travelling” and “ dislocation” is also understood as political narrative and as one of the essential tools for promoting critical knowledge and feminist pedagogy. The teaching of autobiographical narratives becomes crucial either as a starting point of investigation or a field force of analysis. The book reveals that political meaning and identity-construction are extremely important to understand how the Self moves from the inner sphere to the public one, searching for recognition and autonomy while developing the awareness of interdependence and vulnerability., Athena 3

These books will be indispensable tools for educators who take seriously the challenge of teaching with gender. (For titles see inside cover.), The need for a book on teaching gender in social work arises from the fact that social work education often fails to incorporate gender, even though most of the people that use social work services are women, a majority of social workers are women, and women have had throughout history a significant role in the establishment of social work. The profession of social work started to emerge early in the twentieth century, when femininity was constructed in a way that supported the public/private division. This applied, in particular, to a woman’s body and her appearance, to her morality, sexuality and motherhood, which in turn determined her social opportunities. Social work played a role in these processes in various ways, depending on the prevailing beliefs about women and femininity. For social work it is important to understand primarily the mechanisms that produce and reproduce social inequalities, and in our case the inequalities between the genders. Teaching Gender in Social Work contains articles that address these issues., Athena 3

(For titles see inside cover.), This is a collective volume presenting a theoretical framework and diverse educational tools that can be used to incorporate gender and sexuality into Spatial Disciplines and the concepts of space and urbanity into Women’s and Gender Studies. The book was conceived in recognition of the fact that the concepts of space, place and urbanity have a rather minor presence within European Women’s and Gender Studies. Likewise, the concepts of gender and sexuality(ies) are poorly covered within the “spatial” disciplines and university departments. This “double” absence is the raison d’être of this volume and underlies our proposals for developing effective educational and teaching tools in this field. The study of multilayered, complex and contradictory situations in contemporary European cities, where gender/sexuality intersects with other axes of difference and power, is crucial to the development of a multicultural teaching ethos and will facilitate students’ understanding of these contemporary issues both inside and outside the classroom., Athena 3
