Shereen Abouelnaga, "Women in Revolutionary Egypt: Gender and the New Geographics of Identity"
English | ISBN: 9774167473 | 2016 | 160 pages | EPUB | 640 KB
The 25 January 2011 uprising and the unprecedented dissent and discord to which it gave rise shattered the notion of homogeneity that had characterized state representations of Egypt and Egyptians since 1952. It allowed for the eruption of identities along multiple lines, including class, ideology, culture, and religion, long suppressed by state control. Concomitantly a profusion of women's voices arose to further challenge the state-managed feminism that had sought to define and carefully circumscribe women's social and civic roles in Egypt. Women in Revolutionary Egypt takes the uprising as the point of departure for an exploration of how gender in post-Mubarak Egypt came to be rethought, reimagined, and contested. It examines key areas of tension between national and gender identities, including gender empowerment through art and literature, particularly graffiti and poetry, the disciplining of the body, and the politics of history and memory. Shereen Abouelnaga argues that this new cartography of women's struggle has to be read in a context that takes into consideration the micropolitics of everyday life as well as the larger processes that work to separate the personal from the political. She shows how a new generation of women is resisting, both discursively and visually, the notion of a fixed or 'authentic' notion of Egyptian womanhood in spite of prevailing social structures and in face of all gendered politics of imagined nation.

Kathrin Zippel, "Women in Global Science: Advancing Academic Careers through International Collaboration"
English | ISBN: 1503600394 | 2017 | 224 pages | EPUB | 1277 KB
Scientific and engineering research is increasingly global, and international collaboration can be essential to academic success. Yet even as administrators and policymakers extol the benefits of global science, few recognize the diversity of international research collaborations and their participants, or take gendered inequalities into account. Women in Global Science is the first book to consider systematically the challenges and opportunities that the globalization of scientific work brings to U.S. academics, especially for women faculty.

Iwan Rhys Morus, "William Robert Grove: Victorian Gentleman of Science "
English | ISBN: 1786830205 | 2017 | 192 pages | EPUB | 13 MB
William Robert Grove (1811-1896) was a giant of science in the nineteenth century, but he's largely been forgotten today. A pioneer in the harnessing of electrical energy, he invented an early battery known as the Grove Voltaic Cell, developed one of the first incandescent lights, and created the first fuel cell, using an approach that is still the basis of fuel cell technology today. Along the way, he also published a landmark essay, "The Correlation of Physical Forces," and led the mid-century reform of the Royal Society. This book tracks Grove's scientific career and places it within the context of the larger Victorian scientific and intellectual world, establishing anew his crucial place in the history of science, while also showing how he helped to forge a distinct Welsh identity within the scientific community of the period.

Whiteness in Academia: Counter-Stories of Betrayal and Resistance By John Preston
2013 | 115 Pages | ISBN: 144384473X | PDF | 1 MB
Even in those areas of academia which one would consider to be most resistant to white domination (such as critical race theory and multicultural education), both covert and overt racial oppression are apparent. What is the role of white academics in these fields in creating racial oppression? Is there any escape from white supremacy and do white academics have any role in resisting it or are they always complicit? In this book, fictional tropes are used to consider the role of whiteness in academia and in wider struggles against racial oppression. The volume consists of several 'counter stories', each one of which critiques an aspect of whiteness and uses themes from genres such as science fiction, detective fiction and 'fan fiction' to explore power and the contradictions associated with it. Whiteness in Academia will be useful for those researching race, debating the role of academics in social change and examining research methods in education. Of particular interest to academics, researchers and activists, the volume provides a text which opens up new ways of thinking about both their positionality and politics.

When Graduation's Over, Learning Begins: Lessons for STEM Students and Professionals

Digital includes design, data, and numerous technologies, from APIs to Blockchain and from Cloud to Artificial Intelligence, and it can be daunting for non-technology people to work through the concepts as well as all the jargon. We can't all be experts on these areas but for most of us, whatever our profession, doing digital is no longer optional.

War, Communication, and the Politics of Culture in Early Modern Venice
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1108838448 | 309 Pages | PDF | 11 MB
Weaving together cultural history and critical imperial studies, this book shows how war and colonial expansion shaped seventeenth-century Venetian culture and society. Anastasia Stouraiti tests conventional assumptions about republicanism, commercial peace and cross-cultural exchange and offers a novel approach to the study of the Republic of Venice. Her extensive research brings the history of communication in dialogue with conquest and empire-building in the Mediterranean to provide an original interpretation of the politics of knowledge in wartime Venice. The book argues that the Venetian-Ottoman War of the Morea (1684-1699) was mediated through a diverse range of cultural mechanisms of patrician elite domination that orchestrated the production of popular consent. It sheds new light on the militarisation of the Venetian public sphere and exposes the connections between bellicose foreign policies and domestic power politics in a state celebrated as the most serene republic of merchants.
