Soft cover. Zustand: New. This collection of essays brings together auto-ethnographic, critical and comparative reflections on doing feminisms in the academy in contemporary India and the UK. Written by emergent and seasoned academics from a range of disciplinary, social and (geo)political locations, these essays explore the transformative potential, dilemmas and challenges of teaching, learning, researching and working as feminist academics. By engaging with questions of identity and difference, institutional and classroom pedagogies, reflexivity and accountability, and the production and circulation of feminist and non-feminist knowledge, the essays in this collection also provide the frame and the lens through which to view the wider landscape of contemporary higher education. Anchored in feminist scholarship and written in an accessible style, the collection will be useful to those interested in feminist, women's and gender studies, and more broadly those keen to pursue equality in higher education and decentring of knowledge production globally.…

Trust, the foundation of cooperative living, is an important part of all social relationships. There is no site-institutions, organisations, nation-states-where relationships can be sustained without trust. In India, trust has currently become an important issue. Citizens are concerned about the trustworthiness of policies and practices that lie at the intersection of governance and economy. Transactions are at the centre of all economic activities, conducted by a variety of economic actors. Hence, trust is a vital facilitator of transaction. Trust is seen here as relational trust, trust developed from and sustained by relationships between the trusting and the trusted. Beginning with an overview of trust analysis across disciplines, the chapters analyse a range of transaction spaces and stakeholders engaged in making, sustaining and reconfiguring trust. The spaces include: factories and financial institutions; homes, neighbourhoods and streets, where trust is a critical variable in some economic transactions taking place. The different players and stakeholders in these transactions of trust include: organised labour, migrant workers, self-help/neighbourhood groups, domestic workers and caregivers, and street children. The authors have used multiple research techniques in order to locate and analyse the appropriate data. This is the first social science text to address the critical issue of trust in transactions.…
