 | | | | Women, Men and News In the twenty-teens, there are increasing numbers of women occupying executive positions in politics, business and the law but their words and actions rarely make the front page. In this article, we draw on data collected as part of the 2015 Global Media Monitoring Project and focus on England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland. Since the first GMMP in 1995, there has been a slow but steady rise in the proportion of women who feature, report or present the news (now at 24 per cent), but that increase is a mere seven per cent over twenty years. Not only is there a problem with... |

| Narratives of Violence: White ImagiNation and the Making of Black Masculinity in "City of God". Revista CS, (13), 313-337. " The article explores the representation of Black young men in the 2002 movie City of God. The movie deploys "pathological scripts" of Black masculinity in Brazil as criminal and deviant. The controlling image of Black men's bodies as a source of danger and impurity sustains Brazilian regime of racial domination, and the narratives of violence make explicit the ways in which the Brazilian nation is imagined though a racial underpinning. Blackness is consumed as an exotic commodity, yet is also understood as a threat to the national harmony. The nation is, then, written and re-imagined as a... |

| Social justice dilemmas: evidence on the successes and shortcomings of three principals trying to make a difference Social justice leadership has become a popular topic and catchphrase in the field of educational leadership. However, most scholarly and empirical contributions have ignored the inherent tensions, challenges and dilemmas associated with the practice of school leadership and the realities principals confront on a daily basis. This is partly because researchers have tended to ignore multiple facets of justice in their empirical investigations as well as how larger forces outside the school associated with historical, political, social and economic injustices marginalize students and... |

| Tradition is King: The Role of Saudi Tradition in Constraining and Expanding Behaviour Many aspects of Saudi tradition have been left essentially almost untouched and unaffected by modern concepts and ideologies of the last few centuries. These aspects have passed unnoticed by international writers and slipped under the radar of the global media. Therefore, there is a need to capture every aspect of this tradition before its citizens move on and before its unique norms and values vanish. One day, Saudi tradition will become history, and therefore there is a need for a descriptive account capturing this lifestyle and potential history. This book provides such an account,... |

| The Oocyte Economy: the changing meanings of human eggs in fertility, assisted reproduction and stem cell research 卵细胞经济：人类卵子在生育、辅助生殖技术和干细胞研究中的意义嬗变 In this presentation I will give an overview of my forthcoming book, The Oocyte Economy. Drawing explicitly on my Tissue Economy approach, this book gives an exhaustive account of the forms of value constituted around human oocytes - the gametes or reproductive cells specific to women. These are the cells that transmit genetic inheritance from mother to child, and orchestrate the processes of conception and gestation. At the broadest level, I ask what it means to live with this cell lineage. How does its particular history, trajectory and affordances intersect with the biological and social... |

| 2016 "Translating Law for Women?", in: Rechtsgeschichte (Rg) 24, pp. 171-189 'Institutes du droit civil pour les dames' is the title of a unique piece of work printed in 1751 in the small town of Helmstedt. Its author, a little known jurist, Johann Heinrich Kratzenstein (1726–1805), close to the Pietistic circles, composed an abridged French translation in 48 pages of Justinian's Institutes, one of the most widespread texts in European legal history. It was written as a birthday gift for a noblewoman, Regina Charlotte Topp, wife of an influential law professor of the University of Helmstedt. This short essay examines this rare attempt to translate and adapt Latin... |

| Gender Differences in Learners' Perceptions of an Ideal Primary School —Scholars have reached a consensus that students' perceptions of learning environments have an important effect on their learning. The influence of physical attributes of educational space on students' satisfaction has been studied extensively.

The sample in the current study consisted of 118students aged 8-10 years old in the study. Participants were recruited from two public primary schools in Kerman, Iran. The data gathered through semi-structured... |
