Law in a Culture of Theology: The Use of Canon Law by Parisian Theologians, ca. 1120-ca. 1220 (Routledge, 2025) considers the study of law within its intellectual environment. It demonstrates that theologians associated with the schools of Paris in the twelfth century, particularly Peter the Chanter and his circle, had a working knowledge of Romano-canonical tradition and thought about the human context of the law, which, in turn, reflected the environment in which each master worked. It begins by showing the extent to which law was woven into the fabric of the schools of Paris, and follows with individual case studies. These case studies--marriage in Hugh of St. Victor's De Sacramentis and Peter Lombard's Sententiae, excommunication in Peter the Chanter's Summa de sacramentis et animae consiliis, crusade activity and heresy in Robert of Couçon's Summa penitentiae, homicide in Robert of Flamborough's Liber poenitentialis, and the faces of greed in Thomas of Chobham's Summa confessorum--demonstrate how each theologian drew upon legal thought, for what end he was using it, and how his use of law fit into contemporary legal thinking. A competency in law proved valuable to, and was tailored for, different types of ecclesiastical roles: teachers showing students how to analytically navigate complex questions of pastoral care, papal judge-delegate on the cusp of full-time administration on behalf of the papacy, penitentiarius of St. Victor and the students at the University of Paris, or diocesan management. This book will be a useful resource for all students and researchers interested in medieval canon law, medieval theology and pre-modern law. Learn more about your ad choices.

“We know what we want, and one day, our prince will come,” says Toby, the bicycle-shorts-wearing, double ententre-making, unacknowledgely-gay neighbor in RTE's Upwardly Mobile. Though the first queer characters in Irish entertainment television were tropes and stereotypes, they represented an important shift in LGBTQ visibility in Irish media. The road to early representations in entertainment media was a hard road paved by gay rights activists, AIDS stigma, and production teams looking for sensationalism. In LGBTQ Visibility, Media, and Sexuality in Ireland, Páraic Kerrigan explores the dynamics of queer visibility and sexuality in Ireland through televised media between 1974 and 2008. Tune in for our chat about Gay Byrne and the Late Late Show, queer soap stars, the AIDS crisis and globalization of Ireland, and the LGBTQ rights tug-of-war that played out in turn-of-the-century television.

The idea of rewilding is now a common topic of conversation in response to the depletion of biodiversity and natural habitats for local wildlife and widespread industrialisation and globalisation of food production. What about if we asked the same question in relation to the industrialised and standardised education system? What would it take to rewild education, as my guest this week asks? Professor Hilary Cremin has a vision for rewilded healthy education communities and societies that nurture both human and ecological thriving. She is concerned with big questions about the future of education and peace building, and is author of the recently published 'Rewilding Education: Rethinking the Place of Schools Now and in the Future' (Routledge, 2025) - https://www.routledge.com/Rewilding-Education-Rethinking-the-Place-of-Schools-Now-and-in-the-Future/Cremin/p/book/9781041043157.Hilary is the Head of the Faculty of Education at Cambridge University and researches, writes and teaches about peace education and conflict transformation in schools and communities. Hilary is also the co-founder of and senior advisor to the Cambridge Peace Education Research Group. CPERG (https://www.cperg.org/) offers seminars in Cambridge and online, as well as providing resources on their website for those interested in peace education research and practice. Hilary was former Director of the Social Inclusion and Education for Citizenship Academic Research Group at the School of Education, University of Leicester, UK. She has an interest in arts-based methodologies in educational research including photo-voice, poetry and autoethnography.Hilary continues to be involved in the promotion and delivery of conflict transformation and peace-building work in schools and communities, and has a particular interest in Restorative Approaches.

Special Advocates in the Adversarial System (Routledge, 2020) uncovers the little known phenomenon of Special Advocates who represent the best interests of an excluded party in closed trials. Professor John Jackson's empirical analysis draws into question the commitment of legal-systems to long-held principles of adversarial justice, due process and even human rights protections in trials that relate to immigration, national security, civil and criminal proceedings. In its comparative approach, the book tackles issues of accountability and the ethical concerns surrounding the appointment and prevalence of the special advocate system. This book will shock lawyers and scholars alike and is an important contribution to considerations of the administration of justice.

In this episode of the Parent Companion for Play Therapy series, I talk about one of the biggest underlying causes of difficult behavior — a child's need for control. When kids feel like they have very little say in their world, they look for places where they can take control, and those power struggles often show up in everyday routines. I explain the five main areas where children naturally assert control — toileting, sleeping, eating, talking, and obedience — and why those struggles are less about defiance and more about a child's search for autonomy. Once parents recognize that behavior often stems from a need for control, it changes the way they respond. Giving kids small, healthy choices helps restore balance, reduce power struggles, and strengthen the parent-child relationship.

This week, we sink our claws into Ginger Snaps (2000), a dark, coming-of-age horror story that turns puberty into a full-blown monster movie. What starts as a tale of two outcast sisters quickly spirals into a blood-soaked exploration of transformation, identity, and the brutal side of growing up and growing apart.We're talking werewolves, womanhood, and why Ginger Snaps still stands as one of the most honest and gnarliest depictions of teenage horror ever made.It's moody, messy, and magnificently macabre...just how we like it.Timestamps5:21 - Negronomicon14:41 - Crit1:04:50 - Final CurlsGems from Ep. 114The Mummy (1999)The Mummy Returns (2001)Scream 5 (2022)Scream VI (2023)Ready or Not (2019)The Family Plan (2023)The Family Plan 2 (2025)The Deliverance (2024)The Whale (2022)Rental Family (2025)The Mummy (2017)The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)Twilight (2008)Romeo Must Die (2000)Paper Mario (2001)The Mummy (1932)Frankenstein (2025)Frankenstein (1931)Ginger Snaps (2000)Trick r' Treat (2007)She's the Man (2006)Freddy vs. Jason (2003)American Mary (2012)Carrie (2002)Carrie (upcoming, television series)Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed (2004)Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004)Final Destination 3 (2006)Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)Smallville (2001)Edward Scissorhands (1990)Pleasantville (1998)The Monstrous Feminine (Barbara Creed, Routledge, 1993, Print)Being Human (2008, television series)Van Helsing (2004)An American Werewolf in London (1981)Jennifer's Body (2009)Heavenly Creatures (1994)Yellowjackets (2021, television series)Cube (1997)Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (2013, video game)Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (2024, video game)Support the show
In this episode, I respond to Erin's question about working with a selectively mute child. I explain that selective mutism isn't a separate diagnosis—it's rooted in paralyzing anxiety. Once we understand that, we can approach it with CCPT through safety, trust, and pacing. I share how progress often begins with small steps like laughter, gestures, or simple sounds, and why those moments signal meaningful movement toward emotional freedom. I also discuss two common missteps: allowing parents in the playroom and directing play. Both undermine the child's autonomy and reinforce anxiety rather than helping the child overcome it. Instead, I outline how to set boundaries gently, sit in the discomfort of waiting, and use reflective language to communicate trust and acceptance. By trusting the process, we give anxious children exactly what they need—time, safety, and the opportunity to heal at their own pace.

Gender by the Book: 21st-Century French Children's Literature (Routledge, 2025) investigates the gender representations that French children's literature transmits to readers today. Using an interdisciplinary, mixed methods approach, this book grounds its literary analysis in a sociohistorical examination of three key institutions – libraries, book clubs, and subscription magazines – that circulate reading material to children. It shows how French policies, cultural beliefs, and market forces influence the content of children's literature, including tensions between State support for unprofitable artistic endeavors and a belief in children's right to high-quality products on the one hand, and suspicion of activism as anathema to creativity and fear of losing boy readers on the other. In addition, the notion of universalism, which asserts that equality is best achieved when society is blind to differences, thwarts a diverse and equitable array of literary representations. Nevertheless, conditions are favorable for 21st-century French children's publishers to offer a robust body of richly entertaining egalitarian literature for children.

Dr. Fette is Associate Professor of French Studies at Rice University where she is also Rice Faculty Scholar at the Center for the Middle East, Baker Institute and a Faculty Affiliate with the Center for the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality.

Host Gina Stamm is Associate Professor of French at The University of Alabama. Their research is concentrated on the environmental humanities and speculative literatures of the 20th and 21st centuries, from Surrealism to contemporary science fiction and feminist utopias, in Metropolitan France and the francophone Caribbean.

In this episode of the Parent Companion for Play Therapy series, I talk about how parents and children move toward each other during the play therapy process — and why that shared movement is essential for lasting change. I explain what happens when a child begins to grow through therapy and how that growth naturally creates change for everyone in the family. I use two simple illustrations — converging paths and the legal scales of justice — to show how families adjust as one member changes. When a child becomes the "change agent" through play therapy, it shifts the balance for everyone. The key is whether parents resist that shift or join their child in it. When parents also make changes, outcomes improve and relationships strengthen. This episode helps parents understand that therapy isn't about "fixing" a child — it's about everyone growing together.

In der zweiten Folge der fünften Staffel dreht sich alles um Moral. Genauer gesagt um die Frage, ob Sprache einen Einfluss darauf hat, wie wir uns bei moralisch schwierigen Dilemmata entscheiden. Eine Eigenschaft solcher Dilemmata ist schließlich, dass sie gut durchdacht und ausgewogen überlegt werden müssen, bevor wir zu einer Entscheidung kommen – da sollte die Sprache, in der wir ein solches Dilemma durchdenken, doch keinen Einfluss auf unsere Entscheidung haben … oder etwa doch?In dieser Folge tauchen wir in den „Moral Foreign Language Effect“ ein und schauen uns an, wie stark Sprache unsere moralischen Entscheidungen beeinflussen kann. Und Spoiler: Diesen Effekt gibt es wirklich! Ob du zweisprachig aufgewachsen bist oder gerade erst eine neue Sprache lernst – wir besprechen, wie deine sprachliche Umgebung deine Entscheidungen subtil lenken kann und welche Ursachen für diese Beobachtung diskutiert werden.Ein Podcast von Jakob und Anton.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sprachpfade ---Zitierte Studien:Čavar, Franziska & Agnieszka Ewa Tytus. 2018.

The funeral service of Patricia Routledge, the actress who played Hyacinth Bucket in Keeping Up Appearances, took place yesterday.
In this episode, I respond to Heather's question about a client who returned to therapy after a higher level of care. This child's play is dominated by themes of money, power, and control — and I explain how these themes often reflect underlying anxiety and a need to avoid vulnerability. I discuss how aggression frequently serves as a mask for powerlessness and how self-aggrandizing behaviors, like declaring oneself the "favorite," reveal deeper struggles with insecurity. I also share guidance on handling personal items children bring into the playroom and why these items often carry emotional or thematic significance. Rather than setting limits, I explain how to view these objects as meaningful tools for expression and connection. Finally, I emphasize the importance of helping parents establish clear, consistent limits at home through CPRT principles, since true safety, security, and regulation for children can only develop within the structure of boundaries.

In the fourth edition of Regulating the Lives of Women: Social Welfare Policy from Colonial Times to the Present, drawing on important feminist concepts -- social reproduction, the gender division of labor, and patriarchy -- Mimi Abramovitz exposes the gendered and racialized myths and stereotypes built into welfare state programs. The book explains the contextual conditions that contributed to the precursors of the modern welfare state, its rise and expansion after World War II, and the recent neoliberal effort to dismantle the cash assistance programs most likely to lift women out of poverty. This edition marks the most extensive overhaul to date. It revises the conceptual and background chapters, discusses cash assistance programs, and considers emerging ideas such as the role of economic crises in the development of the US welfare state. It also considers the future of the welfare state under the second Trump Presidency. Regulating the Lives of Women is an essential resource for all students of social work, sociology, history, political science, public policy, and gender studies. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I walk through the final phase of Child-Centered Play Therapy—the countdown and last session. Once a child is ready to terminate, our focus shifts to helping them process and celebrate the end of therapy in a healthy, meaningful way. I explain how to introduce the countdown, invite reflection, and give the child space to share memories of your time together without any pressure or expectation. This process allows the child to internalize their growth while preserving the connection and relationship that CCPT values. I also describe how to structure the final session, including practical ways to celebrate the child's work through small mementos and choices that reinforce empowerment and lasting connection. From personalized certificates to thoughtful take-home items, every element is designed to honor the child's progress while communicating that your relationship remains intact. Ending well is not just about closure; it's about celebrating the journey and ensuring the child leaves feeling capable and confident.

Did the Disciples Misremember Jesus' Resurrection? Were the resurrection stories just memories gone wrong—or history remembered right? In this episode of Come Let Us Reason Together, apologist Lenny Esposito interviews Dr. David Graieg, author of Resurrection Remembered (Routledge 2024), about what modern memory science reveals about the eyewitness testimony behind Jesus' resurrection. Discover how psychology, philosophy, and ancient oral culture shaped the earliest Christian memories and why 1 Corinthians 15 still stands as powerful historical evidence.

Louise Nyholm Kallestrup joins Jana Byars to talk about her new book, The Construction of Witchcraft in Early Modern Denmark, 1536-1617 (Routledge, 2025) This book examines how the experience of witchcraft developed and evolved from the Lutheran Evangelical Reformation of Denmark 1536 to the celebration of the Lutheran centennial of 1617. As well as exploring witchcraft, this volume is a portrait of Denmark and how religion and politics in the 16th and 17th centuries were impossible to separate. It was in this period from 1536 to 1617 that witchcraft went from an offence condemned in the Bible and prohibited in the medieval Law of Jutland, to being described in detail as the worst of crimes. Witchcraft evolved from being defined as imposing harm to someone or something, to being a mockery of God. Approaching the theme from the new history of experience, this book refers to process as the construction of witchcraft as a crime. Contributions draw on a wide range of textual and visual sources, and bring together court records, sermons, legal regulations and correspondence with pamphlets, devotional literature and demonological treaties. The book is the first of its kind that aims to explain how this development occurred. This volume is useful for undergraduates, postgraduates and scholars, as well as non-specialist readers interested in the history of witchcraft, magic and alchemy, women's and gender history and European history.

A series of market-related crises over the past two decades – financial, environmental, health, education, poverty – reinvigorated the debate about markets and social justice. Since then, counter-hegemonic movements all over the globe are attempting to redefine markets and the meaning of economic enterprise in people's daily lives. Assessments of market outcomes tend toward the polemical, with capitalists and socialists, globalization advocates and anti-globalization movements, those on the political right and those on the left, all facing off to argue the benefits or harms brought about by markets. Yet not enough attention has been paid to analyzing the conditions under which markets result in just outcomes. Markets, Community and Just Infrastructures (Routledge, 2020) explores how culture, politics, and ideology help shape market incentives in an attempt to reclaim the language of economic rationality and the policymaking legitimacy that accompanies it. Through a variety of case studies – labor relations in the U.S. meatpacking industry, the globalization process in Juaìrez, Mexico, financial reform in Cuba, and an interfaith Ugandan coffee cooperative – this book provides a framework for understanding the conditions under which markets promote just or unjust outcomes (e.g., discrimination, income inequality, environmental degradation, or racial justice, human rights, and equitable growth). This book touches on subject matter as varied as food, religion, banking, and race and gender equality, from a multi-disciplinary perspective. It offers an analysis of markets based on community rather than pure individualism that has the potential to change the way we think about economic rationality. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to students and scholars in political science, economics, sociology, geography, gender studies, critical race studies, environmental studies, and all those interested in the critique of mainstream economics and neoliberal logic.

Urban Labyrinths: Informal Settlements, Architecture, and Social Change in Latin America examines intervention initiatives in informal settlements in Latin American cities as social, spatial, architectural, and cultural processes. From the mid-20th century to the present, Latin America and other regions in the Global South have experienced a remarkable demographic trend, with millions of people moving from rural areas to cities in search of work, healthcare, and education. Without other options, these migrants have created self-built settlements mostly located on the periphery of large metropolitan areas. While the initial reaction of governments was to eliminate these communities, since the 1990s, several Latin American cities began to advance new urban intervention approaches for improving quality of life. This book examines informal settlement interventions in five Latin American cities: Rio de Janeiro, Medellín, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, and Tijuana. It explores the Favela-Bairro Program in Rio de Janeiro during the 1990s which sought to improve living conditions and infrastructure in favelas. It investigates projects propelled by Social Urbanism in Medellín at the beginning of the 2000s, aimed at revitalizing marginalized areas by creating a public transportation network, constructing civic buildings, and creating public spaces. Furthermore, the book examines the long-term initiatives led by SEHAB in São Paulo, which simultaneously addresses favela upgrading works, water pollution remediation strategies, and environmental stewardship. It discusses current intervention initiatives being developed in informal settlements in Buenos Aires and Tijuana, exploring the urban design strategies that address complex challenges faced by these communities. Taken together, the Latin American architects, planners, landscape architects, researchers, and stakeholders involved in these projects confirm that urbanism, architecture, and landscape design can produce positive urban and social transformations for the most underprivileged. This book will be of interest to students, researchers, and professionals in planning, urbanism, architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, urban geography, public policy, as well as other spatial design disciplines.

Welcome, my ghoulish loves!In this final episode of Dark Thirst, I'm diving into pop culture's undying obsession with vampires. From the sensual chaos of True Blood to the glittering restraint of Twilight, and from Coppola's lavish Dracula to Eggers' haunting Nosferatu, I explore how every vampire revival mirrors what's happening in society. From our fears, desires, and shifting ideals of beauty. What do these immortal beings say about us and the times we live in?After centuries of fascination, it's clear, we don't just crave the vampire. We crave what they promise. *Listener Discretion is Strongly Advised*************Sources & References:Auerbach, Nina. Our Vampires, Ourselves. University of Chicago Press, 1995.Gelder, Ken.
