et l’illustrateur ont rédigé ou contribué aux descriptions des images, qui sont incluses dans le corps et la narration du texte. Florent, un garçon de dix ans, surprend une conversation entre ses mamans : devant l'état de la planète, elles se demandent si elles veulent avoir un deuxième enfant. À travers une série de mots impossibles à comprendre, il retient l’hésitation dans leurs voix, la peur dans leurs yeux, la main que l’une pose sur le ventre de l’autre, comme quand il n’arrive plus à s’endormir. Florent comprend qu’il y a trop d’humains sur Terre, qu’il ne faut plus faire d’enfants, qu’il aurait fallu arrêter bien avant et que lui-même est de trop. Ses mamans entendront-elles son cri silencieux?See It, Dream It, Do It: How 25 people just like you found their dream jobs

The Routledge International Handbook of Disability Human Rights Hierarchies (Routledge International Handbooks)
Par Stephen J. Meyers, Megan McCloskey, Gabor Petri. 2024
Disability is defined by hierarchy. Regardless of culture or context, persons with disabilities are almost always pushed to the bottom…
of the social hierarchy. With the advent of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006), disability human rights seemingly provided a path forward for tearing down ableist social hierarchies and ensuring that all persons with disabilities everywhere were treated equally. Despite important progress, the disability human rights project not only remains incomplete, but has often created new hierarchies among persons with disabilities themselves or across the human rights it promotes. Certain groups of persons with disabilities have gained new voices while others remain silenced and certain rights are prioritized over others depending on what states, international organizations, or advocates want rather than what those on the ground need most. This volume was inspired both by the continued need to expose human rights violations against persons with disabilities, but to also explore the nuanced role that hierarchies play in the spread, implementation, and protection of disability human rights. The enjoyment of human rights is not equal nor is the recognition of specific individuals and groups’ rights. In order to change this situation, inequalities across the disability human rights movement must be explored. Divided into five parts: Who counts as disabled? Political, social, and cultural context Which rights on top, whose rights on bottom? Pushed to the periphery in the disability rights movement Representations of disability and comprised of 34 newly-written chapters including case-studies from the Anglophone Caribbean, Bangladesh, Bosnia-Herzegovina, China, Ghana, Haiti, Hungary, India, Israel, Kenya, Latin America, Poland, Russia, Scotland, Serbia and South Africa, and other countries, this book will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, sociology, human rights law and social policy.The Routledge Handbook of Privacy and Social Media (Routledge Handbooks in Communication Studies)
Par Sabine Trepte, Philipp K. Masur. 2023
This volume provides the basis for contemporary privacy and social media research and informs global as well as local initiatives…
to address issues related to social media privacy through research, policymaking, and education. Renowned scholars in the fields of communication, psychology, philosophy, informatics, and law look back on the last decade of privacy research and project how the topic will develop in the next decade. The text begins with an overview of key scholarship in online privacy, expands to focus on influential factors shaping privacy perceptions and behaviors – such as culture, gender, and trust – and continues with specific examinations of concerns around vulnerable populations such as children and older adults. It then looks at how privacy is managed and the implications of interacting with artificial intelligence, concluding by discussing feasible solutions to some of the more pressing questions surrounding online privacy. This handbook will be a valuable resource for advanced students, scholars, and policymakers in the fields of communication studies, digital media studies, psychology, and computer science.
