The Unfinished Queer Agenda After Marriage Equality
While legal recognition of marriage has met the needs of a segment of the LGBTQ population, many still face daily struggles with issues around housing, education, healthcare, policing and incarceration, and immigration. These are issues that were largely eclipsed in national arenas by the fight for marriage equality. In reaction to this, The Unfinished Queer Agenda After Marriage Equality examines the institutional failings and overlapping systems of injustice that continue to dehumanize queer and trans people and deprive them of basic human rights.
Building on a major conference held in 2016 entitled, \"After Marriage: The Future of LGBTQ Politics and Scholarship,\" the editors have collected academic papers, edited transcripts of selected conference sessions, and interviews with activists. Drawing from this source material, the book argues that any queer agenda should be informed by an understanding that issues facing queer and trans people come from the combined influence of neo-liberal capitalism, global white supremacy, and heterosexism. The authors argue that these modes of oppression continue to be especially damaging for poor people, undocumented people, people of color, non-binary, trans, and queer people.
By taking an in-depth look at the myriad social issues that continue to affect LGBTQ communities, and by exposing systemic prejudices and inequality as the root cause, this title is an important intervention for students and researchers engaged with queer and trans activism, beyond the fight for marriage equality.

Milestones in humanitarian action
\"This book is a celebratory history, marking 25 years since the founding of the Center for International Humanitarian Cooperation (CIHC); the completion of 50 of our premier training course; the highly intensive, month-long International Diploma in Humanitarian Assistance (IDHA); the offering of dozens of other specialized courses; the publication of books, conference proceedings, and Occasional Papers, many translated into other languages and used in academic centers all over the world; the development of a Master of Arts in International Humanitarian Action (MIHA); the creation of an undergraduate major in Humanitarian Studies, one of only four such programs offered in any university anywhere; and the establishment of an independent Institute of Humanitarian Affairs (IIHA) at Fordham University in New York. These are but some of the milestones we commemorate here, so that future generations entering the evolving profession of humanitarian assistance might appreciate the challenges faced by earlier pilgrims on a journey that embraced the spiritual as well as the practical elements of this noble, multidimensional discipline.\" -- Introduction.

Unsafe Words
Queer people may not have invented sex, but queers have long been
pioneers in imagining new ways to have it. Yet their voices have
been largely absent from the #MeToo conversation. What can queer
people learn from the #MeToo conversation? And what can queer
communities teach the rest of the world about ethical sex? This
provocative book brings together academics, activists, artists, and
sex workers to tackle challenging questions about sex, power,
consent, and harm. While responding to the need for sex to be
consensual and mutually pleasurable, these chapter authors resist
the heteronormative assumptions, class norms, and racial privilege
underlying much #MeToo discourse. The essays reveal the tools that
queer communities themselves have developed to practice ethical
sex-from the sex worker negotiating with her client to the gay man
having anonymous sex in the back room. At the same time, they
explore how queer communities might better prevent and respond to
sexual violence without recourse to a police force that is
frequently racist, homophobic, and transphobic. Telling a queerer
side of the #MeToo story, Unsafe Words dares to challenge
dogmatic assumptions about sex and consent while developing tools
and language to promote more ethical and more pleasurable sex for
everyone.

Governing the Climate
Despite a growing interest in critical social and political studies of climate change, the field remains fragmented and diffuse. This is the first volume to collect this body of scholarship, providing a key reference point in the growing debate about climate change across the social sciences. The book provides a new set of insights into the ways in which climate change is creating new forms of social order, and the ways in which they are structured through the workings of rationality, power and politics. Governing the Climate is invaluable for three main audiences: social science researchers and advanced students in the field of climate change; the wider research community interested in global environmental politics and global environmental governance; and policy makers and researchers concerned more broadly with environmental politics at international, national and local levels.
