A proposal to incorporate the concept of structural injustice in the standard toolbox of the legal reformer. Structural Injustice and the Law presents theoretical approaches and case studies demonstrating how the concept of structural injustice can aid legal analysis, and how legal reform can reduce, or even eliminate, some forms of structural injustice. The interdisciplinary topics discussed here in the book include domination, equality, human rights law, legal status, labor law, criminal justice, domestic homicide reviews, homelessness, regulatory public bodies, and the films of Ken Loach. Drawn together, these subjects build an invaluable resource for legal theorists exploring how to use the concept of structural injustice and political philosophers looking for nuanced accounts of the law's role both in creating and mitigating structural injustice.

A study on the use of mobile health apps and human creativity. An Anthropological Approach to mHealth underlines ten sixteen-month ethnographies, set across Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America, that revealed people's use of communicative apps, including as LINE, WeChat, and WhatsApp's alternative primary health apps, highlighting the irrelevance of dedicated health apps. Using a "smart-from-below" approach, this book studies these surprising practices and proposes a radically different anthropological method to the development and dissemination of mobile health (mHealth), a rapidly growing sector in healthcare.

An overdue criticism of large-scale solar energy adoption. Solar energy is the world's largest growing source of power. Recently, this energy transition has produced a series of cognate challenges and conflicts in diverse geographies, yielding effects far beyond electricity generation. Geographies of Solar Energy Transitions illustrates how solar energy governance--both state-based and market-driven--is evolving to address these conflicts. Throughout the book, leading energy scholars examine relevant case studies, drawing necessary attention to the multitude of issues with solar power use, including formulating new place-specific solar energy visions and strategies, financing specific deployment scales, expanding and replacing electricity infrastructure, accessing land, resolving conflicts with competing land uses, incorporating charging technologies for transport and storage, adopting flexible energy production/consumption relationships, displacing fossil fuel energy production with renewables, enabling new energy ownership models, and addressing environmental and social injustices across the value chain of solar expansion.

The contributors draw on their local experiences to emphasize the varying practices, ethics, and workplace pragmatics defining this work.

Fabricate 2024: Creating Resourceful Futures is the fifth volume in the series of Fabricate publications. The first conference - 'Making Digital Architecture' - explored the ways in which technology, design and industry are shaping the world around us. Since then, we have become finely attuned to the negative impacts of this shaping. The 2024 conference, hosted in Copenhagen, sets focus on the pressing need to develop new models for architectural production that rethink how resource is deployed, its intensity, its socio-ecological origins and sensitivity to environment.This book features the work of designers, engineers and makers operating within the built environment. It documents disruptive approaches that reconsider how fabrication can be leveraged to address our collective and entangled challenges of resource scarcity, climate emergency and burgeoning demand. Exploring case studies of completed buildings and works-in-progress, together with interviews with leading thinkers, this edition of Fabricate offers a plurality of tangible models for design and production that set a creative and responsible course towards resourceful futures.

Recommendations for enhancing belonging in STEM higher education. In Belonging and Identity in STEM Higher Education, Camille Kandiko Howson and Martyn Kingsbury examine the role of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pedagogies in facilitating belonging, variable impacts across student characteristics, and the experiences of STEM students in higher education. Through case study contributions, the book analyzes the unique educational environments for STEM staff and students throughout Europe and Asia, challenging the assumptions that STEM fields are inherently unemotional and impersonal disciplines.

Brings together historians of popular politics, the civil wars, state welfare, and criminal justice to unveil the widespread influence of petitions in shaping politics and social dynamics in Early Modern Britain. The humble petition was ubiquitous in early modern society and featured prominently in crucial moments such as the outbreak of civil wars and in everyday local negotiations about taxation, welfare, and litigation. People at all levels of society, from noblemen to paupers, used petitions to make their voices heard, and these are valuable sources for mapping the structures of authority and agency that framed early modern society. The Power of Petitioning in Early Modern Britain offers a holistic study of this crucial topic in early modern British history. The contributors to this volume survey a vast range of sources, showing the myriad ways people petitioned the authorities from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. They cross the jurisdictional, sub-disciplinary, and chronological boundaries that have otherwise constrained the current scholarly literature on petitioning and popular political engagement. Teasing out broad conclusions from innumerable smaller interventions in public life, they not only address the aims, attitudes, and strategies of those involved but also assess the significance of the processes they used. This volume makes it possible to rethink the power of petitioning and to re-evaluate broad trends regarding political culture, institutional change, and state formation.
