Inhalt: This volume closely analyses women’s role and experiences in migration (internal and international) and its interlinkages with the care economy in their functions as nurses and paid domestic workers as well as unpaid carers. Bringing together case studies from across India and other parts of the world, the essays in the volume capture the characteristics and specificities of female migration in different settings — be it for economic or associational reasons, or as left behind members. The book also looks at gender-specific discriminations and vulnerabilities along with the empowering aspects of migration.
Inhalt: This unique book analyses the impact of international human rights on the concept of gender, demonstrating that gender emerged in the medical study of sexuality and has a complex and broad meaning beyond the sex and gender binaries often assumed by human rights law. The book illustrates which dynamics within the field of human rights hinder the expansion of the concept of gender beyond binaries and which strategies and mechanisms allow and facilitate such an expansion.

Mutterschaft und Wissenschaft : Die (Un-)Vereinbarkeit von Mutterbild und wissenschaftlicher Tätigkeit
Inhalt: Dieses Buch versammelt Stimmen von Wissenschaftlerin*innen, die sich in sehr persönlichen Texten mit dem Thema „Kinder haben oder nicht haben (wollen)“ auseinandersetzen. Dabei kreuzen sich Identitätspositionen verschiedener Herrschaftsverhältnisse und führen zu Kollisionen im Privaten und Öffentlichen: Die Autor*innen schreiben über ihre Erfahrungen als Selbstoptimierer*innen, Professor*innen, Aktivist*innen, Haushälter*innen, Partner*innen, Pendler*innen, Töchter, Lebenskünstler*innen, Jongleur*innen und Feminist*innen und über die (Un)Möglichkeiten, all das auf einmal zu sein. Darüber hinaus thematisieren und hinterfragen sie auf vielfältige Art das noch immer vorherrschende Mutterbild in Deutschland. Die Texte kommen aus verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen – aus MINT-Fächern ebenso wie aus Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften sowie aus der Kunst. Die drei Herausgeberinnen sind in der Wissenschaft tätige Mütter.

Theorising Cultures of Equality
Herausgeber/in:
Clisby, Suzanne; Johnson, Mark; Turner, Jimmy
Quelle: New York: Routledge (Grace project series), 2020.
Inhalt: "This book sets out a theoretical framework for thinking about equality as a cultural artefact and process, drawing on work from the GRACE (Gender and Cultures of Equality in Europe) project. In revisiting and reframing conventional questions about in/equality it considers the processes through which in/equalities have come to be regarded as issues of public concern, the various ways that equalities have been historically defined, and how those ideas and imaginings of equalities are produced, embodied, objectified, recognized and contested in and through a variety of cultural practices and sites. Bringing together an international and interdisciplinary group of contributors, the book will be of interest to scholars from across the humanities and social sciences, including anthropology, sociology, and women's and gender studies"
