Produktbeschreibung
This is an interdisciplinary approach to sexual harassment that examines the meaning of concepts such as discourse, power, ideology, sexuality, and abuse. The essays explore discursive practice as a way of understanding sexual harassment, how it is normalized and sustained, how it may be contested and challenged, and how it may be studied. In giving voice to discursive frameworks and encouraging debate among authors with differing ideas, Bingham provides readers with a rich array of viewpoints and readings to consider in their own thinking about sexual harassment, both as a social practice and as a topic of research. Rather than attempting to provide resolution or draw conclusions, this volume challenges scholars to begin the process of re-forming conceptual perspectives for sexual harassment research and activism. Although questioning our understandings of sexual harassment and discursiveness is unsettling and difficult, it is necessary in order to instigate change in both ourselves as social actors and in our research of human behavior.
Autorenporträt
Inspired by family, friends, and Emerson's poem "Success," David Wilson, a lifelong Nutley resident (LLNR), began his service career in 1974 joining the Nutley Volunteer Emergency & Rescue Squad, becoming an EMT, treasurer, crew chief, training officer, day captain, serving on many committees, and meeting his wife, Dianne. The American Red Cross provided more opportunities to serve, donating blood, volunteering on the Board of Directors, and becoming chairman of building and grounds. David also served as deacon at Franklin Reformed Church. In 1980, he began working at H&R Block as a tax preparer, instructor, public information coordinator, office supervisor, and specialist in IRS audits. He was appointed by the Nutley Board of Education as Treasurer of School Monies for twenty-seven years, beginning in 1986. He prepared monthly audits and financial reports for the district. In 1985, Commissioner Carmen A. Orechio appointed David as Nutley Fire Department fire inspector. Here was a career where his mechanical background from Lincoln Technical Institute, public speaking, financial training, love of people, and the need to make the world a better and safer place all came together. He was certified as a fire official, arson investigator, instructor, Haz Mat technician, fire sub code official, housing official, along with being the deputy coordinator with OEM. His many fire investigations led David to create a Burn Avoidance educational program for all preschoolers, a Dorm Fire Safety program for college-bound seniors, Juvenile Fire Setter Intervention program, and Senior Citizen Fire Safety. He wrote monthly safety and preparedness articles for local papers, radio, and cable shows. Functioning as the damage assessment coordinator, he arranged over two million dollars in FEMA and insurance grants that reimbursed Nutley for disaster losses. In 2007, he was promoted to lieutenant, retiring in 2010. He worked through 2016 as fire sub code official for Nutley Code Enforcement overseeing permits for new and renovated properties and field inspecting for compliance. "So You Want to Be a Fire Inspector?" written by David and published by Fire Engineering Magazine in 2009. He also had articles in Firehouse, Time, and Nutley Neighbors Magazine. He appears on JOEYBEE.TV as Organic Gardening with Inspector Dave, teaching healthy, low-cost, and time-friendly backyard gardening and bird feeding. A passion for local history research has led to an alliance with Town Historian John Demmer. Together, they do local history walks, lectures at the library, preserve Nutley artifacts, and appear on YouTube. Dave served on the Municipal Tree Inventory Committee. David was awarded by Nutley Jaycees, Nutley Rotary, Knights of Columbus, NJ Citizens Alliance for Fire Safety, Nutley Elks, American Legion, VFW, American Red Cross, Nutley Emergency and Rescue Squad, H&R Block, Nutley Board of Commissioners, and New Jersey State Legislature. ¿
