In Trans(formations) and Tenderness, professor and child advocate Prathim-Maya Dora-Laskey unpacks the most common harmful rhetoric that we might encounter about gender identity, and how to counter it. Written with the tenet of tenderness for human beings at its core, this book explores the three key spaces that can be formative for transgender youth – family, school, and community – to equip the reader with resources to provide effective – and tender – support for the young people they care for. Vital reading for parents, teachers, social workers, clinicians, and care providers in practice and in training, this book will also be of interest to higher education students and scholars of Queer Studies, Child Development courses, Social Work Studies, Sociology, Women’s Studies, Gender Studies, Cultural Anthropology, and related courses.Also issued in Print and PDF version.EnglishDescription based on Publisher's website, viewed May 11, 2026.Trans youthUnited States.Trans youthCounseling ofUnited States.Public Policy.Electronic books.Thomsen, Patrick,editor.Print version: Trans(formations) and tenderness : rhetorics and resources to support transgender youth in the United States.First edition.New York, N.Y. : Lived Places Publishing, 20269781915734747(OCoLC)1586417408Queer and LGBT+ Studies, Gender Studies (Lived Places Publishing)livedplacespublishinghttps://doi.org/10.62859/9781915734747 04476nam a22005058i 45009781918526028IN-ChSCO20260411145055.0m|||||||||||||||||cr |n||||||||n260411s2026||||nyu|||||o|||||||||||eng||9781918526004(print)9781918526028(ebook)9781918526011(ePub)10.62859/9781915734846DOI(OCoLC)1588208954IN-ChSCOengrdaengML3747781.75124923Chen, Chun-bin,author.Between concert hall and museum :musics and identities of Taiwanese indigenous People /Chun-bin Chen ; edited by Yongtao Du.Musics and identities of Taiwanese indigenous PeopleFirst edition.New York, N.Y. : Lived Places Publishing,2026.©20261 online resource (206 pages) :illustrations.texttxtrdacontentcomputercrdamediaonline resourcecrrdacarrierAsian StudiesIncludes bibliographical references and index.Cover -- Half-Title Page -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Table of Contents -- Abstract -- Introduction -- Learning objectives -- 1 Highway Nine musical stories: Making meanings of home through musicking -- Places -- Indigenous musicking and multiple facets of Indigeneity -- 2 Being out of place or making it Indigenous: Indigenous presence in the National Concert Hall -- The musical began -- Dreams come true, unexpectedly -- The performers -- The musical -- Reception and reflections -- Places, identities, and musicking -- 3 Imagining the Austronesian homeland through festivals and museum exhibitions -- Taiwan at the 13th Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture -- The 2002 Festival of Austronesian Cultures -- The NMP, 2002 -- The NMP, 2024 -- 4 What is home?

Through vivid musical stories set in Taiwan’s National Concert Hall, Indigenous villages, and the National Museum of Prehistory, the book examines how Indigenous musicians navigate spaces that symbolize modernity, heritage, and cultural preservation. Drawing on performances, village rituals, museum exhibitions, and the Festival of Austronesian Cultures, Chen reveals how music becomes a powerful medium through which Taiwanese Indigenous people reconnect with their past while negotiating their place in the present. The book also reflects on the idea of a uniquely Indigenous form of diaspora, where feelings of displacement can occur even within one’s homeland. By highlighting musical performance as a pathway to cultural continuity and belonging, this work offers a compelling perspective on indigeneity, identity, and cultural resilience in contemporary society. Ideal for students and scholars in Asian studies, ethnomusicology, world music, anthropology, and cultural studies interested in Indigenous identities and musical traditions.Also issued in Print and PDF version.EnglishDescription based on Publisher's website, viewed May 11, 2026.Taiwan aboriginesTaiwanMusic.Taiwan aboriginesEthnic identity.Ethnomusicology.Electronic books.Du, Yongtao,editor.Print version: Between concert hall and museum : musics and identities of Taiwanese indigenous People.First edition.New York, N.Y. : Lived Places Publishing, 20269781918526004(OCoLC)1587346185Asian Studies (Lived Places Publishing)livedplacespublishinghttps://doi.org/10.62859/9781915734846 05866nam a22004938i 45009781916704961IN-ChSCO20260304145055.0m|||||||||||||||||cr |n||||||||n260304s2026||||nyu|||||o|||||||||||eng||9781916704947(print)9781916704961(ebook)9781916704954(ePub)10.62859/9781916704961DOI(OCoLC)1574885345IN-ChSCOengrdaengLC521537423Dodding, Jacqueline,author.Reimagining potential :mature female Students attending a college-based higher education establishment in the UK /Jacqueline Dodding ; edited by Janise Hurtig.Mature female Students attending a college-based higher education establishment in the UKFirst edition.New York, N.Y. : Lived Places Publishing,2026.©20261 online resource (186 pages) :illustrations.texttxtrdacontentcomputercrdamediaonline resourcecrrdacarrierGender Studies, Education StudiesIncludes bibliographical references and index.Cover -- Half-Title Page -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Abstract -- Acknowledgements -- Table of Contents -- Introduction -- Context for this book – mature female students -- Why a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach is not appropriate when discussing widening participation students -- Motivation of widening participation students in general -- Some notes on theoretical concepts used in my research -- Conclusion -- 1 Mature female students, UK higher education policy and the landscape of college-based higher education -- Focus on mature female students in higher education in the United Kingdom -- Reimagining potential: Possible selves -- Political background and policy in UK higher education from post-Second World War to the twenty-first century -- The development of the college-based higher education environment -- Conclusion -- 2 The experiences of mature female students in their own words -- Introduction -- My experience of using the Listening Guide -- Organisation of the I poems, word clouds and narrative -- Participants – Postgraduates -- Natalie -- Natalie’s I poem -- Dana -- Dana’s I poem -- Andrea -- Andrea’s I poem -- Analysis of Natalie, Dana and Andrea (postgraduate students) -- Third year students -- Vera -- Vera’s I poem -- Brenda -- Brenda’s I poem -- Freda -- Freda’s I poem -- Tricia -- Tricia’s I poem -- Laura -- Laura’s I poem -- Analysis of Vera, Brenda, Freda, Tricia and Laura -- Second year students -- Julie -- Julie’s I poem -- Roz -- Roz’s I poem -- Lisa -- Lisa’s I poem -- Edith -- Edith’s I poem -- Sally -- Sally’s I poem -- Arlene -- Arlene’s I poem -- Analysis of Julie, Roz, Lisa, Edith, Sally and Arlene -- First year students -- Michelle -- Michelle’s I poem -- Sabina -- Sabina’s I poem -- Bella -- Katherine -- Katherine’s I poem -- Melissa -- Melissa’s I poem -- Analysis of Michelle, Sabina, Bella, Katherine and Melissa -- Conclusion -- 3 Further experiences of the mature female students in this research -- Introduction -- Method of analysis -- Barriers to engagement in post-compulsory education -- Confidence -- Support provided to students -- Re-engagement with education -- Motivation -- Impact of studying at undergraduate level and aspirations following completion of their degrees -- Conclusion -- 4 Autobiographical context of this research -- Introduction -- My educational experience -- Final reflections on the autobiographical nature of my research -- Jacqueline’s I poem -- Conclusion -- 5 What can we learn? -- Introduction -- Key findings from my research -- Implications for higher education in the United Kingdom -- Decision not to progress to HE -- Factors enabling non-traditional students to participate -- Student lack of confidence -- Impacts of higher education study -- Summary of the research findings -- Recommendations for higher education in the United Kingdom -- Key recommendations following this research are highlighted -- Regarding labelling -- Future research directions -- A final note… -- Appendix 1 -- Recommended discussion topics -- Notes -- References -- Index.Reflecting on her own lived experience, and the experiences of others, author Jacqueline Dodding explores how mature female students, who did not follow the traditional university route, navigate re-entry into education, and the impact this has had on their multiple identities including student, partner, wife, mother, and carer. Re-imagining Potential discusses the barriers faced at continuing education at 18, why these students have chosen to re-engage now, and the impact of the various labels placed upon them.

Exploring the intersections of gender, gun culture, and mental health, Metal Music, Masculinity, and Mass Shootings follows Deborah’s first-hand experience of a metal concert mass shooting, and the resulting reflection on the issues surrounding metal music in the throes of PTSD. Deborah argues by comparing her own experiences to the academic research that the toxic, violent, and misogynistic foundations of the genre produce real world consequences that must be examined for transformation. Providing an important critique of a male-dominated genre and the repercussions of its toxic masculinity, this book is ideal reading for students of Feminism, Gender Studies, Music Studies, and Mental Health.Also issued in Print and PDF version.EnglishDescription based on Publisher's website, viewed February 12, 2026.Heavy metal (Music)Social aspects.Masculinity in music.Music and violence.Electronic books.

Examining the clothing people chose to bring with them such as wedding dresses, and the textile trades they developed, including rug weaving, Clothes and Textiles of Anatolian Greek Refugees aims to shed light on complex historical events and deepen our understanding of the people in this post-conflict society.

How does it communicate one’s self-identity as a first-generation American? When we dress ourselves, we are visually narrating to the world how we wish to be seen. Therefore, styling is a form of storytelling. It provides a framework to express cultural connections and ethnic pride across place and time; the outfit tells a story. Author Nicole K. Rivas combines visual and material culture to investigate sartorial representations of self-identity from the perspective of first-generation Americans, using garments of the past through contemporary archaeological approaches. Touching on themes of memory, upbringing, culture, and autonomy, this book is ideal for students of Fashion and Personal Style, Textiles, Art, Material Culture, Cultural Anthropology, Gender Studies, and History.Also issued in Print and PDF version.EnglishDescription based on Publisher's website, viewed July 07, 2026.Clothing and dressSocial aspects.Adult children of immigrantsUnited States.Identity (Psychology)Electronic books.Hancock, Joseph H.,editor.Print version: The archaeology of fashion : memories of worn history, secondhand objects, and material (Auto)biographies of first-generation Americans.First edition.New York, N.Y. : Lived Places Publishing, 20269781916985780(OCoLC)1572074916Fashion and Personal Style Studies, Gender Studies, Cultural Anthropology (Lived Places Publishing)livedplacespublishinghttps://doi.org/10.62859/9781916985803 06595nam a22005058i 45009781917503051IN-ChSCO20260411145055.0m|||||||||||||||||cr |n||||||||n260411s2026||||nyu|||||o|||||||||||eng||9781917503037(print)9781917503051(ebook)9781917503044(ePub)10.62859/9781917503051DOI(OCoLC)1587420362IN-ChSCOengrdaengNK1520745.223Eckert, Jan,author.Stewardship in design education :future-proofing the eco-social curriculum /Jan Eckert ; edited by D.

While much has been written about the pandemic, this book fills a critical gap by focusing on how those with limited access to healthcare and systemic inequities were uniquely affected. Using narrative case studies, Chama examines the realities faced by these communities, highlighting the widening public health disparities and the urgent need for inclusive, equitable healthcare. The book also emphasizes the importance of optimal health as a fundamental human right, in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Ideal for courses in social work, psychology, sociology, and criminal justice, this book is essential reading for public health researchers, academicians, nursing students, healthcare instructors, and community leaders dedicated to advancing social justice.Also issued in Print and PDF version.EnglishDescription based on Publisher's website, viewed June 09, 2026.COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020-2023Economic aspectsUnited States.Health services accessibilityUnited States.Outcome assessment (Medical care)Economic aspects.Electronic books.Hayward, R.

In Poor Dad, Rich Daughter, Kaziwa Salih examines the unique challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in Başûr, Iraq. The book focuses on two groups: those supported by NGOs and self-sponsored microentrepreneurs. Salih highlights the gender-related obstacles these women face, the ethical agency they display, and the impact of traditional family roles on their entrepreneurial journeys. Despite NGO support, the lack of essential technology and marketing knowledge has led to the failure of some businesses. The book delves into the complex dynamics of gender regimes, as experienced firsthand by Kurdish women who resist these systemic challenges.

Lucas challenges the long-held promise that a college degree automatically leads to opportunity. At a time when student debt has surpassed .7 trillion and many graduates struggle to build lasting financial stability, Lucas argues that higher education has been measuring the wrong outcomes. Instead of focusing solely on retention and graduation, he calls for institutions to embrace “living goals” such as home ownership, entrepreneurship, investment participation, stable employment, insurance security, and lifelong institutional support. Drawing on the social determinants of health, Lucas introduces the groundbreaking Economic and Social Mobility (ESM) framework and outlines nine determinants of generational wealth. By positioning Historically Black Colleges and Universities as powerful examples and proposing six new institutional metrics, Lucas offers a transformative roadmap that shifts the conversation from credentialism to long-term prosperity. This book is ideal for higher education leaders, policymakers, researchers, social mobility advocates, and anyone interested in the future of equity, opportunity, and generational wealth in American higher education.Also issued in Print and PDF version.EnglishDescription based on Publisher's website, viewed June 09, 2026.Educational mobilityUnited States.Education, HigherAims and objectivesUnited

Experiences brings together leadership perspectives, panel discussions, original research, and powerful lived experiences to examine the realities shaping women’s academic and professional journeys in scientific fields. As the second volume in a growing series, this book deepens the conversation on gender equity in science by exploring the structural, cultural, and personal factors that influence career progression. Across four thoughtfully curated chapters, contributors examine themes such as patriarchy, cultural stereotyping, faith, mentorship, resilience, and institutional support systems. Voices from academia, research institutions, and professional practice illuminate both the barriers women face and the strategies that enable success. The volume also raises critical questions about whether these challenges are unique to women or reflective of broader systemic issues in scientific careers. Blending research, expert insights, and personal narratives, this book offers evidence-informed reflections to guide policy, institutional reform, and individual empowerment. It is ideal for students and scholars in gender studies and STEM education, academic leaders, policymakers, research institutions, professional development programs, and practitioners committed to advancing equity and leadership opportunities for women and girls in the sciences.Also issued in Print and PDF version.EnglishDescription based on Publisher's website, viewed March 04, 2026.Career development.Women in Science.Gender and Development.Electronic books.

Both focus on appearance and societal validation, with Beau Brummell’s self-fashioning echoing today’s gym bro regimen in the pursuit of idealized masculinity. This book explores how historical sartorial practices, visual culture, and fitness culture intersect, revealing how male identity and power dynamics are constructed, represented, and reinforced. It furthermore critiques how these ideals impact self-esteem, societal expectations, and traditional masculinity’s evolution.

It explores the political subjectivity of formerly incarcerated Black women beyond linear time, revealing the complexities of the ‘living prison’ experience. Their oral histories challenge singular narratives, reflecting historical violences and Black indigenous knowledge systems of refusal. This project highlights incarceration as a continuum rather than an event, centering the lived realities of Black women within and against the carceral state.

Che Bella! Curves and Contours by Isabella Campagnol explores how the ideal of curvy Italian beauty, embodied by 1950s movie stars like Sophia Loren, has evolved over time. Research on Italian fashion magazines from the 18th century to the 1920s shows that the slim look prevailed, with curviness almost absent. The Fascist regime shifted this perspective, linking curviness to fertility. The "soft" silhouette of the 1930s continued into the 1940s and 1950s, faded in the 1960s and 1970s, and made a comeback in the 1980s with supermodels like Monica Bellucci. Brands like Elena Mirò and Marina Rinaldi played a pivotal role in promoting curvy fashion, a trend recognized by Italian Vogue and other labels at fashion weeks. Despite progress toward inclusivity, "curvy-washing" still occurs.

Geneticists focus on understanding how genes influence health and disease, playing a key role in diagnosing and treating genetic conditions. The geneticist is responsible for ordering appropriate genetic tests based on the patient’s clinical symptoms and family history. -- Genetic Counsellor -- A genetic counsellor is a healthcare professional with specialist knowledge in human genetics, counselling and health communication. They provide critical information and support to individuals and families affected by genetic conditions. Genetic counsellors typically work as part of a multidisciplinary team that includes a geneticist. The genetic counsellor meets with the family to explain the geneticist’s findings in a way that is easy to understand. They discuss inheritance patterns, risk factors for other family members, and the long-term implications of the condition. They offer support to help individuals and families navigate the emotional aspects of the diagnosis. -- Usher syndrome research -- Clinical Research -- Gene therapy -- Gene agnostic treatments -- Natural history studies -- Registries -- Usher syndrome is a spectrum -- Annmaree -- Ongoing challenges -- 4 Complexities and challenges of diagnosis -- Introduction -- Navigating the impact of diagnosis -- Emily -- The pros and cons of an early diagnosis -- Underdeveloped pathways for paediatric Usher syndrome -- Low expectations -- No longer living fully in the present -- Generational perspectives and the question of independence -- Challenges of diagnosis -- Emma -- Diagnostic clarity -- How much information is right?

Living in the Liminal Space explores this profound emotional terrain, where families and communities exist between hope and despair, struggling to find meaning amid ambiguity. Drawing on more than 25 years of research and practice, Professor Sarah Wayland brings together her experiences working with families of missing people in Australia and internationally. Through a powerful blend of lived experience, academic insight, and compassion, she offers a framework for understanding and supporting those navigating unresolved loss. Extending the foundational work of Pauline Boss and integrating social theories of hope, loss, and uncertainty, this book challenges social workers, counsellors, psychologists, and therapists to view “living grief” not as paralysis, but as a space where resilience and connection can flourish. This book is essential reading for students and practitioners in social work, counselling, psychology, sociology, and community services, as well as organisations offering postgraduate or professional programs in grief, loss, and trauma support.Also issued in Print and PDF version.EnglishDescription based on Publisher's website, viewed July 07, 2026.Loss (Psychology)Absence and presumption of death.CounselingMethods.Electronic books.Parkinson, Kate,editor.Print version: Living in the liminal space : understanding the lived experience of ambiguous or unresolved loss to enhance how we care for those left behind.First edition.New York, N.Y. : Lived Places Publishing, 20269781917566964(OCoLC)1594961851Social Work (Lived Places Publishing)livedplacespublishinghttps://doi.org/10.62859/9781917566988 03543nam a22005058i 45009781918026078IN-ChSCO20260609145055.0m|||||||||||||||||cr |n||||||||n260609s2026||||nyu|||||o|||||||||||eng||9781918026061(print)9781918026078(ebook)9781918026085(ePub)10.62859/9781918026085DOI(OCoLC)1593397892IN-ChSCOengrdaengCT25808/.0669223Glickman, Nora,author.From the Pampas to New York, with detours :scenes from the life of a jewish gaucha /Nora Glickman ; edited by Angy Cohen.Scenes from the life of a jewish gauchaFirst edition.New York, N.Y. : Lived Places Publishing,2026.©20261 online resource (92 pages) :illustrations.texttxtrdacontentcomputercrdamediaonline resourcecrrdacarrierJewish StudiesIncludes bibliographical references and index.Cover -- Half Title -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Acknowledgments -- Table of Contents -- Introduction -- Abstract -- Notes and discussion questions -- Learning objectives -- 1 Childhood: My years as a boy -- Juan, tame and wild -- The last of the settlers -- My years as a boy -- At the movies -- A wind at dawn -- My cousin Elenita -- Fire in the farm -- Notes -- 2 Adolescence: The crucial years -- The broken necklace -- The gloved hand -- How I became who I am -- Notes -- 3 Adulthood: New York, New York -- A day in New York -- Rereading “The unbearable sadness of hotel rooms” -- Door half open -- Notes -- Epilogue.What happens when identity is stretched across continents, languages, and cultures? In From the Pampas to New York, with Detours, acclaimed scholar and writer Nora Glickman traces a woman’s remarkable journey from the Argentine Pampas to Israel and finally to New York. Through a tapestry of autobiographical, interwoven stories, Glickman captures the richness and contradictions of a life lived between worlds—between Yiddish and Spanish, tradition and rebellion, home and exile. Each stage of the narrator’s journey reveals the complexity of belonging and the resilience of the human spirit. From the innocence of childhood in a Jewish-Argentine community to the challenges of adapting to new languages and cultural landscapes, Glickman paints a portrait of transformation that is both deeply personal and profoundly universal. Her lyrical prose and sharp insight into migration, feminism, and identity illuminate how one woman’s search for self becomes an act of creative reclamation.Also issued in Print and PDF version.EnglishDescription based on Publisher's website, viewed June 09, 2026.AutobiographyJewish authors.JewsArgentinaPampas.Jewish womenNew York (State)New York.Electronic books.Cohen, Angy,editor.Print version: From the Pampas to New York, with detours : scenes from the life of a jewish gaucha.First edition.New York, N.Y. : Lived Places Publishing, 20269781918026061(OCoLC)1583238818Jewish Studies (Lived Places Publishing)livedplacespublishinghttps://doi.org/10.62859/9781918026085 16362nam a22005538i 45009781918026252IN-ChSCO20260609145055.0m|||||||||||||||||cr |n||||||||n260609s2026||||nyu|||||o|||||||||||eng||9781918026245(print)9781918026252(ebook)9781918026269(ePub)10.62859/9781918026245DOI(OCoLC)1592839299IN-ChSCOengrdaengLC2781378.1/982223Felton, Herman J.,author.The HBCU blueprint :a strategic guide to transformation and thriving /Herman J.

Felton et al. draw on proven frameworks in strategy, leadership, and organizational resilience to outline actionable approaches for strengthening financial stability, leveraging technology, expanding academic programs, and building mission-aligned partnerships. At the same time, Felton et al. center the distinctive role of faith, spirituality, and cultural preservation in the HBCU tradition, showing how these institutions uniquely advance equity, empower future generations, and sustain community impact. Written in accessible language, the book integrates history, strategy, and forward-looking vision to help HBCUs reimagine their place in higher education and society.

communities in Aotearoa-New Zealand continue to face significant health disparities despite decades of targeted government policy? In this landmark volume, editors Sir Collin Tukuitonga, Roannie Ng Shiu, and Patrick Thomsen bring together Pacific scholars to establish foundational markers for understanding the complex factors impacting community wellbeing. While Pacific peoples are among the most researched groups in the country, the contributors argue that current systems have failed to translate this data into equitable outcomes. The editors curate a deep dive into critical intersections of health, including maternal care, mental health, and the specific needs of Pacific youth, disabled people, and Rainbow+ communities. By centering the voices of Pacific experts, this work serves as both a critique of the status quo and a roadmap for a more efficient, equitable health system that treats Pacific wellbeing as an urgent public priority. This book is essential reading for students of Pacific health and professionals operating within the public health sector. It is a vital resource for anyone working to improve health outcomes within Aotearoa-New Zealand or across the broader Pacific region.Also issued in Print and PDF version.EnglishDescription based on Publisher's website, viewed April 02, 2026.Pacific IslandersHealth and hygiene.Pacific IslandersMedical care.Electronic books.Shiu, Roannie Ng,author.Thomsen, Patrick,author.Keil, Moeata,editor.Thomsen, Patrick,editor.Print version: Understanding Pacific peoples health and wellbeing challenges in Aotearoa New Zealand.First edition.New York, N.Y. : Lived Places Publishing, 20269781918026276(OCoLC)1566933011Pacific Islander Studies (Lived Places Publishing)livedplacespublishinghttps://doi.org/10.62859/9781918026276 05701nam a22004938i 45009781918026962IN-ChSCO20260402145055.0m|||||||||||||||||cr |n||||||||n260402s2026||||nyu|||||o|||||||||||eng||9781918026948(print)9781918026962(ebook)9781918026955(ePub)10.62859/9781918026962DOI(OCoLC)1581491241IN-ChSCOengrdaengRJ506.H9616.858923Winder, Rachel,author.An autistic and ADHD journey :re-writing a new identity post-discovery /Rachel Winder ; edited by Damian Mellifont.Re-writing a new identity post-discoveryFirst edition.New York, N.Y. : Lived Places Publishing,2026.©20261 online resource (222 pages) :illustrations.texttxtrdacontentcomputercrdamediaonline resourcecrrdacarrierDisability StudiesIncludes bibliographical references and index.Content warning -- Learning objectives -- Chapter 1Introduction -- A brief background of where the term Autism has been historically -- Autism, as it appears to stand today -- AuDHD identity versus PNT identity -- The Autistic brain, versus the PNT brain -- Different ways of thinking -- Context, detail and “absolute thinking” -- Why comparisons go wrong -- Beyond stereotypes -- Non-verbal communication and me -- Ground-up thinking versus top-down thinking -- Masking -- Unmasking -- Low masking and high masking Autistic people -- Answers to frequently asked questions -- What are the joys of the spiky profile and how does the PNT perceive it? -- Aren’t we all a little bit autistic? -- What is it like being AuDHD? -- Are all Autistic people good at maths? -- Are Autism, ADHD and other neurological differences superpowers? -- What are some unfair expectations of neurodivergent people? -- What is the difference between neurodiversity and neurodivergence? -- Is Autism genetic? -- What is emotional resilience? -- What is rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD)? -- What is owning wrong labels about? -- What are sensory needs? -- What is stimming? -- What is self-harm? -- Eating disorders and neurodivergence -- Some notes on language and terminologies used throughout the book -- Chapter 2Pre-discovery -- A lack of a sense of belonging -- Bullying at school -- Puberty -- How could things be improved in schools? -- Romantic relationships -- The night I met my husband, Tim -- Platonic relationships -- Gold (Au) digging: stories of movement towards discovery -- Pre-discovery parenting -- Time blindness and the value of money -- Reflections of how I experience time and money -- Chapter 3Post-discovery -- Square pegs: round holes -- The silver lining -- The lost years -- Coping strategies -- Here are five things I like about being neurodivergent -- The building blocks of securing my identity -- Chapter 4My learnings from a comparison of pre- and post-worlds -- Learnings of ground-up thinking -- Learnings about neuro-discrimination since discovering my identity -- Learnings about creating space for self and self-advocacy -- Sensory processing learnings -- Audio processing learnings -- Learnings about social experiences -- Learnings about parenting (moving beyond motherhood without identity) -- Learnings about authentic expressions -- Learnings from my workplace experiences -- Learnings about interactions and conflict -- Chapter 5Conclusion -- Anxiety about the future -- For those who were lost and never found -- My advocacy role -- Recommended further reading -- Suggested discussion topics -- Appendix 1 Tribunal letter -- Appendix 2 DSM-5 criteria -- References.What does it mean to discover later in life an AuDHD identity and what impact does that have on an individual’s sense of self? Author Rachel Winder explores how 40 years of not knowing her AuDHD identity impacted her life – from Autistic masking (a subconscious survival tactic to camouflage social differences and so avoid unwanted attention and rejection), through to developing complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (cPTSD). Discovering her neurodivergent identity gave her the tools to shed harmful and incorrect labels and to see her life through an AuDHD lens. An Autistic-ADHD Journey explores a brief history of Autism alongside the author’s unique lived experiences that aim to dispel the many harmful misconceptions surrounding Autism and ADHD. This book takes you one person closer to knowing more about AuDHD. Through the exploration of a complex and shifting understanding of self, this book is ideal reading for AuDHD folk and allies, anyone wishing to understand Autism and ADHD more, carers, mental health practitioners, Medical Students, and students of Disability Studies, Autism and AuDHD Studies, and Mental Health Studies.Also issued in Print and PDF version.EnglishDescription based on Publisher's website, viewed April 02, 2026.Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.Autism.Electronic books.Mellifont, Damian,editor.Print version: An autistic and ADHD journey : re-writing a new identity post-discovery.First edition.New York, N.Y. : Lived Places Publishing, 20269781918026948(OCoLC)1582301786Disability Studies (Lived Places Publishing)livedplacespublishinghttps://doi.org/10.62859/9781918026962 06392nam a22004938i 45009781918526332IN-ChSCO20260402145055.0m|||||||||||||||||cr |n||||||||n260402s2026||||nyu|||||o|||||||||||eng||9781918526318(print)9781918526332(ebook)9781918526325(ePub)10.62859/9781918526332DOI(OCoLC)1582455653IN-ChSCOengrdaengPS3608.E45791.43/7223Kane, Michael E.,author.Deaf, hard of hearing, and Child of Deaf Adults (CODA) identities :the accounting profession /Michael E.

In this inspiring collection, Michael Edwin Kane explores the personal and professional triumphs of eighteen elite accounting experts. Through detailed interviews, Michael documents the journeys of five deaf CPAs in the USA, ten international Chartered Accountants, and three hearing CPAs raised by deaf parents (CODAs). The book delves into their unique educational backgrounds, the communication strategies they utilized to pass grueling licensing exams, and the ways their identities have shaped their success. By highlighting these remarkable achievements, Michael provides a roadmap for overcoming sensory barriers in high-stakes corporate environments. This book is an essential resource for deaf and hard-of-hearing students pursuing careers in business, accounting candidates seeking motivation for their certification exams, and career counsellors looking for inclusive success stories. It is also a compelling read for CODAs and the broader finance community interested in diversity, equity, and the power of resilience in the workplace.Also issued in Print and PDF

clearest vision for justice reform? Global Freedom: Lives and Lessons from Formerly Incarcerated Leaders from Around the World brings together the powerful voices of 30 alumni from Incarceration Nations Network’s Global Freedom Fellowship program, presented in their own words. Spanning Africa, the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean, these firsthand narratives reveal the depth of human potential too often dismissed or silenced within prison systems worldwide. Through personal testimony and bold ideas for change, contributors examine the global crisis of mass incarceration and outline practical, community-driven pathways toward safer, more inclusive societies. Their stories challenge stereotypes, illuminate systemic failures, and demonstrate how lived experience can drive innovative reform at both local and international levels. At once urgent and hopeful, Global Freedom reframes justice not as punishment, but as opportunity, dignity, and transformation. It is ideal for students, scholars, policymakers, advocates, and organizations engaged in criminal justice reform, human rights, restorative justice, and global social change.Also issued in Print and PDF version.EnglishDescription based on Publisher's website, viewed April 02, 2026.Criminology.Criminal Law.Electronic books.Dreisinger, Baz,editor.Print version: Global Freedom : lives and lessons from incarceration nations network’s formerly incarcerated leaders from around the World.First edition.New York, N.Y. : Lived Places Publishing, 20269781918527087(OCoLC)1577888519Incarceration Nations Network (Lived Places Publishing)livedplacespublishinghttps://doi.org/10.62859/9781918527100 04751nam a22005058i 45009781918527179IN-ChSCO20260707145055.0m|||||||||||||||||cr |n||||||||n260707s2026||||nyu|||||o|||||||||||eng||9781918527155(print)9781918527179(ebook)9781918527162(ePub)10.62859/9781918527179DOI(OCoLC)1594973951IN-ChSCOengrdaengE184.S4892023Pigeon, Gérard Georges,author.Itinerary of a child of the trade winds :memories of a child born and raised in French African colonies and educated in the world /Gérard Georges Pigeon ; edited by Christopher Mcauley.Memories of a child born and raised in French African colonies and educated in the worldFirst edition.New York, N.Y. : Lived Places Publishing,2026.©20261 online resource (144 pages) :illustrations.texttxtrdacontentcomputercrdamediaonline resourcecrrdacarrierBlack StudiesIncludes bibliographical references and index.Cover -- Half-Title Page -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Table of Contents -- Learning objective -- Abstract -- Foreword -- 1 From Martinique to France: The writer origins and West Indian Culture -- The early times: The departure from Martinique -- En route: First stop, Paris -- 2 Africa and the colonial world -- Africa: The beginning, 1928, Cotonou, Dahomey -- Dakar, 1938: The early period -- Conakry and the war -- The war is over: Martinique, France, and back to Dakar -- Dakar: The last episode -- 3 France, education, friendship, and maturity -- France for good -- Our rapidly changing world -- 4 The United States: What I Became.

Itinerary of a Child of the Trade Winds: Memories of a Child Born and Raised in French African Colonies and Educated in the World by Gerard Georges Pigeon is a powerful memoir that traces a life shaped by colonialism, migration, and global change. Born in Senegal to West Indian parents, Pigeon offers a vivid account of daily life in the French African colonies during and after World War II. Through personal memories, he portrays the realities of colonial society—its routines, aspirations, contradictions, and cultural resilience—while capturing how individuals navigated identity and belonging under colonial rule. The narrative then follows his formative years in Paris, where he matured intellectually and politically amid the tensions surrounding the Algerian War and the broader struggles for independence and social justice. The journey continues to the United States, where Pigeon builds a new life as a husband, father, and immigrant confronting the complexities of a deeply divided society. His story culminates in his involvement in the development of the Black Studies Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara, reflecting his commitment to education, cultural awareness, and social transformation.

A Prison Within a Prison: An Evocative Autoethnographic Approach to Being a Transgender Man in a Women’s Prison in England explores the experience of transgender males in British female prisons, addressing a research gap often overshadowed by a focus on transgender females. Set against political, cultural, and media pressures, it examines identity, pronouns, goals, and creative expression as tools for self-exploration within a system that frequently fails to acknowledge transgender male identities. The book also questions the role of prisons, engaging with global debates on abolition. It invites discussions on intersectionality and hopes to inspire further research on transgender issues in criminal justice. Ideal for students of Criminology, Psychology, Law, Queer Studies, Creative Writing, College-in-Prison programs, Prison Officer training, and those engaged with the Incarceration Nations Network.Also issued in Print and PDF version.EnglishDescription based on Publisher's website, viewed July 07, 2026.Trans menEffect of imprisonment onGreat Britain.TransphobiaGreat Britain.Discrimination in criminal justice administrationGreat Britain.Electronic books.Dreisinger, Baz,editor.Print version: A prison within a prison : an evocative autoethnographic approach to being a transgender man in a women’s prison in England.First edition.New York, N.Y. : Lived Places Publishing, 20269781918527186(OCoLC)1588521235Incarceration Nations Network (Lived Places Publishing)livedplacespublishinghttps://doi.org/10.62859/9781918527209 04120nam a22005418i 45009781918026054IN-ChSCO20260212145055.0m|||||||||||||||||cr |n||||||||n260212s2026||||nyu|||||o|||||||||||eng||9781918026030(print)9781918026054(ebook)9781918026047(ePub)10.62859/c.172069DOI(OCoLC)1569915095IN-ChSCOengrdaengHV1559.A85305.90823Mellifont, Damian,author.Lived experience of disability :disability research and Australian disability policy /Damian Mellifont, Jennifer Smith-Merry, edited by Damian Mellifont.Disability research and Australian disability policyFirst edition.New York, N.Y. : Lived Places Publishing,2026.©20261 online resource (230 pages) :illustrations.texttxtrdacontentcomputercrdamediaonline resourcecrrdacarrierDisability Studies"This is an open access publication, available online and distributed under the terms of a Creative Commons Attribution, Non-Commercial, No Derivatives 4.0 International license (CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0)".Includes bibliographical references and index.Content warning -- Learning objectives -- Introduction -- Chapter 1 Who has lived experience of disability? -- Chapter 2 What does ‘good’ disability policy look like? -- Chapter 3 Seeing the person before the problem: Using lived experience perspectives to eliminate restrictive practices -- Chapter 4 Policies to address information deprivation for people with disability -- Chapter 5 Epistemic gaps and policy absences: The plight of older people living with dual sensory impairment -- Chapter 6 Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in rural Australia: A retrospective analysis of research and policy observation -- Chapter 7 The lived experience of neurodivergence in academic research studies: A neuro-affirming methodology -- Chapter 8 Towards a comprehensive research agenda: Fostering disability inclusion in research and innovation at the University of Queensland -- Discussion questions -- Recommended further reading -- Index.Open Access Electronic Book.Lived Experience of Disability, edited by Damian Mellifont, brings together voices of people with lived experience and committed allies to explore critical issues in Australian disability policy. Covering topics from restrictive practices and healthcare disparities to barriers in research participation and academic inclusion, this book examines how policy intentions often fall short of meeting real needs. With insights on linguistic deprivation, rural challenges, sensory impairments, and disability leadership, it not only critiques current systems but also points to evidence-based directions for reform. This is more than an academic resource—it is a call for genuine inclusion, representation, and systemic change. Lived Experience of Disability is ideal for students, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in disability studies and policy.Also issued in Print and PDF version.EnglishDescription based on Publisher's website, viewed February 12, 2026.People with disabilitiesServices forAustralia.People with disabilitiesGovernment policyAustralia.Sociology of disabilityAustralia.Electronic books.
