Abstract

Intersex Matters analyzes the medicalization of people diagnosed as "intersex," which is an umbrella term for individuals born with sexual anatomies various societies deem to be nonstandard. Through an examination of medico-scientific, scholarly, political, and popular archives from the mid-twentieth century to the present, Rubin argues that the medical regulation of atypical sex is fundamentally a feminist and a queer issue, and an intersectional and transnational one as well. Critical attention to intersex lives, bodies, narratives, and activisms profoundly reconfigures contemporary paradigms of sex/gender, race, health, normality, biopolitics, and human rights. Rubin charts the emergence of intersex rights activism in the global north and global south, thus demonstrating the value of understanding intersex experience when rethinking the vicissitudes of body politics in a globally interconnected world.

Abstract

Since Dawkins popularized the notion of the selfish gene, the question of how these selfish genes work together to construct an organism remained a mystery. Now, standing atop a wealth of new research, Itai Yanai and Martin Lercher—pioneers in the field of systems biology—provide a vision of how genes cooperate and compete in the struggle for life.

Abstract

Although efforts have been made to integrate disability into the discourse analysis and conversation analysis canon, the link between the two fields needs to be strengthened. This ground-breaking volume contributes to this link by thoroughly applying the analytical vocabulary of discourse analysis to issues that are central to the field of disability studies. It strengthens disability studies by supplying case studies of representations and constructions of disability and disabled people in discourse, theorizes the role played by language in the social construction of disability, and makes dis

Abstract

"Exploratory Research in Clinical and Social Pharmacy provides a forum for initial exploratory work in the field of clinical and social pharmacy needed to describe phenomena and relationships among people involved in the medication use process to lay the groundwork for the design of interventions as well as future hypothesis-testing, theory-driven research in the field, applicable anywhere but with special attention devoted to low- and middle-income countries. The scope includes patient attitudes, patient behaviors, prescribing patterns, pharmacy staff/workforce initiatives, medication safety reports, pharmacoepidemiological considerations, and implementation science, which evaluates how initial development considerations of a process or new medication-related service is one that can be sustained over time, sometimes explored through the use of qualitative research methods."--Publisher
