Beauvoir in Time situates Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex in the historical context of its writing and in later contexts of its international reception, from then till now. The book takes up three aspects of Beauvoir's work more recent feminists find embarrassing: "bad sex," "dated" views about lesbians, and intersections with race and class. Through close reading of her writing in many genres, alongside contemporaneous discourses (good and bad novels in French and English, outmoded psychoanalytic and sexological authorities, ethnographic surrealism, the writing of Richard Wright and Franz Fanon), and in light of her travels to the U.S. and China, the author uncovers insights more recent feminist methodologies obscure, showing Beauvoir is still good to think with today.

Zwar hat Max Weber den Askesebegriff an prominenter Stelle in seinen religionssoziologischen Werken platziert - die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit diesem Begriff ist hingegen bislang spärlich geblieben. Um diese Lücke zu schließen, werden in der Arbeit das Verständnis Webers von Askese und der Stellenwert des Begriffes in den Schriften »Die protestantische Ethik und der ›Geist‹ des Kapitalismus«, »Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft« sowie »Die Wirtschaftsethik der Weltreligionen« systematisch untersucht. Dabei werden auch seine theoretischen sowie methodischen Schriften mit in die Untersuchung einbezogen. Es wird überzeugend dargelegt, dass Webers Begriff der Askese im Zusammenhang mit zentralen Themen seines soziologischen Schaffens steht: Einerseits vermag es Weber anhand des Askesebegriffes seine Theorien zur kulturwissenschaftlichen Erkenntnis darzulegen, andererseits finden anhand dessen seine Auseinandersetzungen mit den Themen Lebensführung, Rationalisierung und der ›Entzauberung der Welt‹ statt.»The Concept of Asceticism in Max Weber's Sociology of Religion«: This work is a research on Max Weber's concept of asceticism and its significance in his sociology of religion. The study elaborates that asceticism is not only a central concept in his studies on religion but also relates to key topics in his whole work as for example conduct and ethics, rationalism, his theory of interpretive sociology, the ideal type, and the so-called disenchantment of the world.

"A groundbreaking exploration of grief and racial trauma through the eyes of a Black end-of-life caregiver. Grieving While Back: An Anti-Racist Take on Oppression and Sorrow approaches grief as something that is bigger than what's already happened to us--as something that is connected to what we fear, what we love and what we aspire towards. Because grief impacts our relationship with ourselves and each other, and our social location determines the amount of harm we are able to inflict against others, systemic oppression can be interpreted as the result of our unprocessed but inescapable relationship to loss"--
