Book Description
Esta obra se constituye en un trabajo importante en el que se busca aportar a la problemática actual que vive la sociedad, referida a la brecha existente entre el conocimiento científico y la realidad, en este caso, en el denominado campo de conocimiento de la discapacidad, resultado posiblemente de la falta de trabajo articulado entre la academia, la sociedad y los tomadores de decisiones a nivel político. Los autores conjugan en el texto, elementos de carácter teórico y conceptual validados a nivel internacional, que intercalan con experiencias aplicadas las cuales se constituyen en ejemplos respecto a cómo se puede avanzar hacia la efectiva incorporación del conocimiento científico en diferentes elementos de la sociedad: a nivel de política, del desarrollo de programas y proyectos que logren impactar en la solución de problemáticas reales de la población con discapacidad. Se destaca el carácter interdisciplinar e internacional de abordaje de la temática, brindando una visión amplia del estado de desarrollo del tema en cuestión en especial en la región latinoamericana. El texto aporta no solo la postura de los académicos sino a la de los generadores de políticas, los profesionales asistenciales y las personas en situación de discapacidad. Este libro es actualizado y novedoso, ya que la literatura en el campo de la discapacidad en Latinoamérica y específicamente, en Colombia, es relativamente escasa. La perspectiva teórica del texto es totalmente pertinente y recoge el estado de avance multidisciplinar en el área de la discapacidad.

The Research System in Transition
Author: Susan E. Cozzens
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400920911
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
On a mountainside in sunny Tuscany, in October 1989, 96 people from 23 countries on five continents gathered to learn and teach about the problems of managing contemporary science. The diversity of economic and political systems represented in the group was matched by our occupations, which stretched from science policy practitioners, through research scientists and engineers, through academic observers of science and science policy. It was this diversity, along with the opportunities for infonnal discussion provided by long meals and remote location, that made the conference a special learning experience. Except at lecture time, it was impossible to distinguish the "students" at this event from the "teachers," and even the most senior members of the teaching staff went away with a sense that they had learned more from this group than from many a standard conference on science policy they had attended. The flavor of the conference experience cannot be captured adequately in a proceedings volume, and so we have not tried to create a historical record in this book. Instead, we have attempted to illustrate the core problems the panicipants at the conference shared, discussed, and debated, using both lectures delivered by the fonnal teaching staff and summaries of panel discussions, which extended to other panicipants and therefore increased the range of experiences reponed.

Physical Disability and Sexuality
Author: Xanthe Hunt
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030555674
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
This open access edited volume explores physical disability and sexuality in South Africa, drawing on past studies, new research conducted by the editors, and first-person narratives from people with physical disabilities in the country. Sexuality has long been a site of oppression and discrimination for people with disabilities based on myths and misconceptions, and this book explores how these play out for people with physical disabilities in the South African setting. One myth with which the book is centrally concerned, is that people with disabilities are unable to have sex, or are seen as lacking sexuality by society at large. Societal understandings of masculinity, femininity, bodies and attractiveness, often lead people with physical disabilities to be seen as being undesirable romantic or sexual partners. The contributions in this volume explore how these prevailing social conditions impact on the access to sexual and reproductive healthcare, involvement in romantic relationships, childbearing, and sexual citizenship as a whole, of people with physical disabilities in the Western Cape of the country. The authors' research, and first person contributions by people with physical disabilities themselves, suggest that education and public health policy must change, if the sexual and reproductive health rights and full inclusion of people with disabilities are to be achieved.

'Mixed Race' Studies
Author: Jayne O. Ifekwunigwe
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135170711
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
Mixed race studies is one of the fastest growing, as well as one of the most important and controversial areas in the field of race and ethnic relations. Bringing together pioneering and controversial scholarship from both the social and the biological sciences, as well as the humanities, this reader charts the evolution of debates on 'race' and 'mixed race' from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. The book is divided into three main sections: tracing the origins: miscegenation, moral degeneracy and genetics mapping contemporary and foundational discourses: 'mixed race', identities politics, and celebration debating definitions: multiraciality, census categories and critiques. This collection adds a new dimension to the growing body of literature on the topic and provides a comprehensive history of the origins and directions of 'mixed race' research as an intellectual movement. For students of anthropology, race and ethnicity, it is an invaluable resource for examining the complexities and paradoxes of 'racial' thinking across space, time and disciplines.
