A Vision from the Margin
Over the past few years, discussions regarding diversity with the Speech and Language Therapy profession have intensified. A Vision from the Margin aims to bring together the lived experiences from Black and people of colour who have felt marginalized both during training and as they enter their clinical and/or academic practice. Whilst the issues discussed here are vast, and as such one book can never cover every perspective, this book will play an essential role in starting dialogues relating to issues of diversity, anti-racism and social justice, to name a few, within the profession and beyond. This will be transformative for new and existing practitioners and those who research or work in related fields.

Ghost Stories for Darwin
In a stimulating interchange between feminist studies and biology, Banu Subramaniam explores how her dissertation on flower color variation in morning glories launched her on an intellectual odyssey that engaged the feminist studies of sciences in the experimental practices of science by tracing the central and critical idea of variation in biology. As she shows, the histories of eugenics and genetics and their impact on the metaphorical understandings of difference and diversity that permeate common understandings of differences among people exist in contexts that seem distant from the so-called objective hard sciences. Journeying into areas that range from the social history of plants to speculative fiction, Subramaniam uncovers key relationships between the life sciences, women's studies, evolutionary and invasive biology, and the history of ecology, and how ideas of diversity and difference emerged and persist in each field.

Written by world-leading experts in the field, this new edition provides a framework for the provision of mental health care in an increasingly globalised world.
