This edited volume is about diversifying the teaching profession. It is unique in its inclusion of multiple dimensions of diversity; its chapters focus on a wide range of under-represented groups, including those from lower socio-economic groups, Black and minority ethnic groups, migrants, the Travelling community, the Deaf community, the LGBTQI+ community and those of mature age.The book includes contributions from Australia, England, Iceland, Portugal and Scotland, as well as a number of chapters from the Irish context, mostly emanating from projects funded under Ireland's Higher Education Authority's Programme for Access to Higher Education (PATH): Strand 1--Equity of Access to Initial Teacher Education.The book also critically engages the rationale for diversifying the profession, arguing not only that representation still matters, but also that ultimately teacher diversity work needs to encompass system transformation to achieve a diverse, equitable and inclusive teaching profession.

"Au-delà de la contestation des régimes politiques, les révolutions du Maghreb et du Moyen-Orient se sont traduites depuis 2010 pour un foisonnement de luttes : ouvrières et syndicales, féministes, antiracistes, pour les droits des minorités sexuelles et de genre... Elles ont favorisé la remise en question de multiples hiérarchies sociales. Rompant avec l'image dominante d'un acteur protestataire homme affrontant les autorités sur les places publiques, cet ouvrage démontre que le genre est une catégorie nécessaire pour expliquer le déclenchement, les dynamiques et les issues de ces conjonctures. Les cas des révolutions tunisienne, égyptienne, yéménite, syrienne, bahreïnie et soudanaise, ainsi que du hirak algérien et du soulèvement libanais, révèlent les recompositions des rapports entre les hommes et les femmes, ainsi que des masculinités et des féminités dans différents milieux sociaux. En dépit de la violence des restaurations autoritaires et des guerres, l'analyse au prisme du genre permet ainsi d'envisager les révolutions comme des processus aux effets durables."--Page 4 of cover.

Queer Kinship on the Edge? Families of Choice in Poland explores ways in which queer families from Central and Eastern Europe complicate the mainstream picture of queer kinship and families researched in the Anglo-American contexts. The book presents findings from under-represented localities as a starting point to query some of the expectations about queer kinship and to provide insights on the scale and nature of queer kinship in diverse geopolitical locations and the complexities of lived experiences of queer families. Drawing on a rich qualitative multi-method study to address the gap in queer kinship studies which tend to exclude Polish or wider Central and Eastern perspectives, it offers a multi-dimensional picture of 'families of choice' improving sensitivity towards differences in queer kinship studies. Through case studies and interviews with diverse members of queer families (i.e., queer parents, their children) and their families of origin (parents and siblings), the book looks at queer domesticity, practices of care, defining and displaying families, queer parenthood familial homophobia, and interpersonal relationships through the life course. This study is suitable for those interested in LGBT studies, sexuality studies, kinship and Eastern European studies.

This two-volume open-access book offers a theoretically and empirically-grounded portrayal of the experiences of people claiming international protection in Europe on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity (SOGI). It shows how European asylum systems might and should treat asylum claims based on people’s SOGI in a fairer, more humane way. Through a combined comparative, interdisciplinary (socio-legal), human rights, feminist, queer and intersectional approach, this book examines not only the legal experiences of people claiming asylum on grounds of their SOGI, but also their social experiences outside the asylum decision-making framework. The authors analyse how SOGI-related claims are adjudicated in different European frameworks (European Union, Council of Europe, Germany, Italy and UK) and offer detailed recommendations to adequately address the intersectional experiences of individuals seeking asylum. This unique approach ensures that the book is of interest not only to researchers in migration and refugee studies, law and wider academic communities, but also to policy makers and practitioners in the field of SOGI asylum.
