Musical Women in England, 1870-1914

Encroaching on All Man's Privileges

By: NA NA,Paula Gillett

Musical Women in England, 1870-1914 delineates the roles women played in the flourishing music world of late-Victorian and early twentieth-century England, and shows how contemporary challenges to restrictive gender roles inspired women to move into new areas of musical expression, both in composition and performance. The most famous women musicians were the internationally renowned stars of opera; greatly admired despite their violations of the prescribed Victorian linkage of female music-making with domesticity, the divas were often compared to the sirens of antiquity, their irresistible voices a source of moral danger to their male admirers. Their ambiguous social reception notwithstanding, the extraordinary ability and striking self-confidence of these women - and of pioneering female soloists on the violin, long an instrument permitted only to men - inspired fiction writers to feature musician heroines and motivated unprecedented numbers of girls and women to pursue advanced musical study. Finding professional orchestras almost fully closed to them, many female graduates of English conservatories performed in small ensembles and in all-female and amateur orchestras, and sought to earn their living in the overcrowed world of music teaching.

Post-Natal Depression

Psychology, Science and the Transition to Motherhood

By: Paula Nicolson

Post-Natal Depression challenges the expectation that it is normal to be a 'happy mother'. It provides a radical critique of the traditional medical and social science explanations of 'post natal depression' by supplying a systematic feminist psychological analysis of women's experiences following childbirth. Paula Nicolson argues that, far from it being an abnormal, undesirable, pathological condition, it is a normal, healthy response to a series of losses. Post Natal Depression makes an important contribution to the psychology of women and feminist research and will be of interst to psychologists, social scientists, nurses and doctors.

Vicarious Liability in Tort

A Comparative Perspective

By: Paula Giliker

Vicarious liability is controversial: a principle of strict liability in an area dominated by fault-based liability. By making an innocent party pay compensation for the torts of another, it can also appear unjust. Yet it is a principle found in all Western legal systems, be they civil law or common law. Despite uncertainty as to its justifications, it is accepted as necessary. In our modern global economy, we are unlikely to understand its meaning and rationale through study of one legal system alone. Using her considerable experience as a comparative tort lawyer, Paula Giliker examines the principle of vicarious liability (or, to a civil lawyer, liability for the acts of others) in England and Wales, Australia, Canada, France and Germany, and with reference to legal systems in countries such as the United States, New Zealand and Spain.

Constitutional Orphan

Gender Equality and the Nineteenth Amendment

By: Paula A. Monopoli

On August 26, 1920, these words became part of the United States Constitution as its Nineteenth Amendment. The requisite thirty- six states had ratified the amendment in the year since its enactment by Congress on June 4, 1919. A revolution in women's rights, spanning over seventy years, came to a quiet conclusion as Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby signed the measure into law in the privacy of his home at eight o'clock in the morning.1 None of the prominent suffrage leaders of the day, including the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) president, Carrie Chapman Catt; or the National Woman's Party (NWP) chair, Alice Paul, were at the signing.2 Catt was later invited to go to the State Department to see the proclamation, but no similar invitation was extended to the more militant Paul. Paul had been a thorn in the side of President Woodrow Wilson, with her White House picketing and willingness to be imprisoned for the vote.3 Ratification was followed by ten years of litigation- most of it in state courts- during which the meaning and scope of the Nineteenth Amendment was contested. In its most literal sense, the Nineteenth Amendment did not confer a "right" to vote per se. Rather, it simply prohibited the states or the federal government from using sex as a criterion for voter eligibility.4 In other words, its ratification meant that state and federal impediments to voting based on sex were now unconstitutional. It did not mean that all women in the United States could vote.5 As a matter of law, the Nineteenth Amendment meant that states could not prevent African American women from voting based solely on their sex. Yet vast numbers of African American women were prevented from voting in the November 1920 presidential election that followed on the heels of ratification.6 They faced the same impediments- poll taxes, literacy tests, grandfather clauses, and physical intimidation- used to prevent their male counterparts from voting after ratification of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.7 Those amendments conferred citizenship on previously enslaved persons and barred state or federal restrictions on voting based on race, color, and previous condition of servitude"--

Socioeconomic fisheries surveys in Pacific Islands

A manual for the collection of a minimum dataset

By: Mecki Kronen,Natasha Stacey,Paula Holland,Franck Magron,Mary Power

The major objective of this socioeconomic manual is to provide a tool that assists fisheries authorities and others in the Pacific region to obtain data that supports informed management decision-making aimed at sustainable, effective and equitable use of reef and lagoon resources. This manual provides a guide on how to collect socioeconomic data to characterise the role that reef and lagoon resources play in supporting the livelihood of coastal communities, i.e. by answering the following 10 important questions: 1. What are the major socioeconomic characteristics of the community? 2. How much does the community depend on marine resources for consumption, income, and livelihood? 3. How much is fished by whom? 4. What is harvested and where is the catch taken from? 5. What does the community do with the catch? 6. What is the total catch worth at local market prices? 7. What are the fishing strategies 1 used? 8. What gender issues apply? 9. How does the community keep the fish (preservation and stocks)? 10. What knowledge is there of fisheries management rules (traditional and governmental)?

Gender, Power and Organisation

A psychological perspective on life at work

By: Paula Nicolson

Work organisations have become a major site of gender politics for professional women and men over the last twenty years. There are more senior women today, but increased opportunities have not been gained without psychological consequences. Rather than catalogue the barriers to women's success, Paula Nicholson examines the problems they can face as a result. She re-examines the ways that patriarchal structures resist women's progress, and how male success has psychological implications for women's sense of subjectivity, self-esteem and gener identity, and how achieving against such odds has an impact on women's everyday lives.

Gender, Power and Organization

A psychological perspective on life at work

By: Paula Nicolson

Work organizations are a major site of gender politics for professional women and men, and although there are more women in senior positions than ever before, these increased opportunities have not been gained without psychological consequences. Evidence-based and theoretically driven, the new edition of Gender, Power and Organization raises important questions about gender and power in the workplace, and the psychology of women’s advancement. Twenty years on from the first edition, it re-examines gender relations at work and asks why, despite many years of feminist critique and action, we are able to understand the dynamics of the workplace but fail to make them more representative. The struggles women face in professional and public life remain intense, not least because many men experience an increasing sense of threat to their long-term aspirations and professional positions. Using examples from recent research and the author's own consultancy experience, this important volume offers a fresh exploration of the psychology of gender and power at work, from the development of gender identities and roles, to explanations of bullying and sexual harassment in the organization. It offers an accessible survey of the subject for professional managers and students of leadership, psychology, management, sociology, gender, and women’s studies.

Ebook: Coaching for Wellbeing: An Evidence-Based Guide for Practitioners

By: Ana Paula Nacif

“This intensely practical book offers a cutting-edge, evidence-based framework for coaches and other helping professionals seeking to more effectively address the need to promote wellbeing in times of increasing mental distress. It is the first book of its type to bridge contemporary wellbeing concepts and theories with one-to-one and group coaching. Ana Nacif's expertise shines through, providing illuminating case studies and a comprehensive roadmap for coaching for wellbeing based on research and years of experience in the field. Highly recommended.” Dr Andrea Giraldez-Hayes, Director of the Wellbeing and Psychological Services Centre and Programme Director, Masters in Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, University of East London, UK “Coaching for wellbeing will become essential for positive psychology, health and wellbeing coaches everywhere. Ana Paula Nacif brings a light touch to complex topics, making them understandable and accessible. She has skilfully combined theory and research with a practical focus – from PERMA and BeWell models to three good things and gratitude letters – making this book the perfect place to start a journey of discovery in bringing evidenced-based psychology into your coaching practice.” Professor Jonathan Passmore, Henley Business School & EZRA Coaching, UK “While wellbeing is a highly sought-after state, its broad nature can leave many coaches uncertain about where to begin or how to direct their coaching efforts. This book effectively transforms the abstract concept of well-being into tangible, applicable know-how. Using a dynamic combination of models, diagrams, case studies, imaginative exercises and practical wisdom, it serves as an engaging guide on your journey towards understanding wellbeing and having an idea of how to tackle it in your work. Happy reading!” Professor Ilona Boniwell, CEO of Positran, France, and Programme Director and Course Leader at UEL, UK “The relevance of the idea of wellbeing for everyone is unquestionable, but this notion is far from simple. Ana Paula Nacif describes wellbeing as a complex and multi-faceted concept and, from this position, invites the reader to explore the multiple ways in which wellbeing can be conceptualised and what it is like to support people towards a state that is so valuable but difficult to pin down. The book represents a good balance of theory and ideas for practice for a curious practitioner and will be a very useful read.” Professor Tatiana Bachkirova, Professor of Coaching Psychology at Oxford Brookes University, UK This book provides coaches with a solid grounding in key theories of wellbeing and evidence-based models that can be immediately applied in your own coaching practice.

Media Policy and Globalization

By: Paula Chakravartty

This volume takes a fresh look at media and communications policy and provides a comprehensive account of issues that are central to the study of the field. It moves beyond the 'specifics' of regulation, by examining policy areas that have proved to be of common concern for societies across different socio-economic realities. It also seeks to address profound gaps in the study of policy by demonstrating the centrality of historical, social and political context in debates that may appear solely technical or economistic. Media Policy and Globalization covers the institutional changes in the communications policy arena by examining the changing role of the state, technology and the market and the role of civil society. It discusses actual policy areas in broadcasting, telecommunications and the information society, and examines the often-overlooked normative dimensions of communications policy.

Caging the Beast

A Theory of Sensory Consciousness

By: Paula Droege

A major obstacle for materialist theories of the mind is the problem of sensory consciousness. How could a physical brain produce conscious sensory states that exhibit the rich and luxurious qualities of red velvet, a Mozart concerto or fresh-brewed coffee? Caging the Beast: A Theory of Sensory Consciousness offers to explain what these conscious sensory states have in common, by virtue of being conscious as opposed to unconscious states. After arguing against accounts of consciousness in terms of higher-order representation of mental states, the theory claims that sensory consciousness is a special way we have of representing the world. The book also introduces a way of thinking about subjectivity as separate and more fundamental than consciousness, and considers how this foundational notion can be developed into more elaborate varieties. An appendix reviews the connection between consciousness and attention with an eye toward providing a neuropsychological instantiation of the proposed theory. (Series A)
