The Potential and Peril of Reviewing Domestic Abuse-Related Deaths
Considering the potential and peril of Domestic Abuse-Related Death Reviews (DARDRs) in England and Wales as a way of learning from domestic abuserelated deaths, this book examines what DARDRs - first known as Domestic Homicide Reviews (DHRs) - are understood as being for, what is used by and in DARDRs, and how DARDRs are themselves used. Drawing on rich empirical data, this text combines information gathered from published DARDRs as well as from the experiences of stakeholders, including representatives from organisations who had contact with a victim, and those who knew them personally. This analysis is further underpinned by the author's distinct perspective as a practitioner, which includes having led DARDRs as an independent chair. Setting out an approach that frames the review of domestic abuse-related deaths as a means of achieving justice, the book addresses best practice in making sense of domestic abuse-related deaths, the efforts to drive practice, policy and systems change, and the memorialisation of victims, with a view to improving responses to domestic abuse for all victims, survivors and, perhaps, to prevent future deaths. The Potential and Peril of Reviewing Domestic Abuse- Related Deaths will be of great interest to students and scholars of criminology, social work, and sociology, as a way of understanding the policy and practice of trying to make sense of and respond to domestic abuse-related deaths.

The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Disagreement
Disagreement is one of the deepest and most pervasive topics in philosophy; arguably its very bedrock, and is an ever-increasing feature of politics, ethics, public policy, science and many other areas. Despite the omnipresence of disagreement, the topic itself has received relatively little sustained examination. This outstanding handbook examines the philosophy of disagreement and how it extends to debates in public policy and science. Comprising 41 chapters by an international team of highly distinguished contributors, the Handbook is divided into six clear parts: Philosophy of Disagreement Epistemology of Disagreement Disagreement in Science Moral Disagreement Political Disagreement Disagreement and Public Policy Within these sections key topics are examined, including skepticism, truth, pluralism, feminist philosophy, philosophy of religion, epistemology of peer disagreement, ethics, metaethics, political philosophy, rationality, intellectual virtues, relativism, realism, instrumentalism, and scientific method. Ideal for those studying and researching philosophy and especially epistemology, ethics and philosophy of science, The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Disagreement will also be of interest to those in related disciplines such as politics, social policy and law.

Securitizing Ghana's Oil Against Africa's Resource Curse
Sustainable development and total breakdown of the State are two possible outcomes either of which may characterise the exploitation and management of Africa's natural resources depending on framework conditions. Thus, well functioning legal and institutional frameworks for oil exploitation and oil revenue management is very necessary for the sustainable development of developing economies. However, dysfunctional legal and institutional systems are also to blame for many of Africa's resource curse and conflicts. To ensure a well functioning legal and institutional frameworks for the exploitation and management of Ghana's oil, this work argues for a legal and institutional separation of the State's commercial functions from the State's regulatory functions. Theoretically, State sovereignty over natural resources is juxtaposed with the doctrine of separation of powers to create a fourth institutional veto player in natural resource governance.

The Woman with One Hundred Faces
Who was Anaïs Nin? To some, she was a towering literary figure, whose late life fame following the publication of her diaries changed the reading habits of a generation. To others, she was a failed novelist, better known for her affair with Henry Miller. Readers might know her best for her dollar-a-page erotica, never intended for publication; or celebrate her for her journals and avant-garde fiction, powerful statements of a woman's right to artistry. Achieving a cult following in the last decade of her life, her reputation took a shocking posthumous knock when she was revealed to be a bigamist, a fantasist, a compulsive liar and an incestuous daughter.Katherine Rowland's new biography is an unflinching, empathetic account of Nin's life, and a reckoning with her wild legacy. From this book emerges a figure who was a lover, a tyrant, an exploiter, a victim, but above all things, a writer.

Epistemic Injustice
This book illustrates how feminist knowledge and postcolonial knowledge are marginalized in universities due to policies, organizational structures, and knowledge hierarchies that privilege metrics as measures of success and narrow views of science and research. The changing relationship between the state and knowledge production is a critical issue for universities and governments when disinformation is creating a crisis in expertise and trust in democratic institutions. Yet academic autonomy is being undermined by processes of corporatization of the university: managerialism, marketisation, technologization and privatization. Epistemic injustice occurs when particular knowledges are privileged due to policy priorities, metrics and organizational practices as these are underpinned by unequal power relations that inform who does what research and with whom. In turn, injustice occurs when knowledge is evaluated primarily on the basis of its usefulness. The chapters in this book illustrate the epistemic implications of changing institutional and organizational conditions produced by narrow conceptions of 'knowledge' and 'good science' and relations between them. It explores these arrangements at the level of colonial and geopolitical relations, and their effects in terms of institutional processes, practices, and agency. The text shows how a lack of epistemic diversity reinforces structural and cultural racial and gender injustices arising from colonialism, patriarchy, and dominant views of science. This volume will appeal to policy makers and researchers in higher education reform and scholars interested in changing academic practices from feminist and postcolonial perspectives. It was originally published as a special issue of Critical Studies in Education.

Freeing Up Our Future
In a world of increasing complexity and disruption, many change efforts stall or have only surface impact, as they 'bypass' or overlook the deeper patterns holding systems back. These patterns often stem from the unresolved past. Freeing Up Our Future introduces a new lens - systemic intelligence - a powerful, practical way to perceive and work with the hidden architecture and dynamics of human systems. Drawing on over 20 years of practice, 4,000 case studies and over 90 client stories, this is both a field guide that blends insights with hands-on application, and a learning companion for leadership development and systemic coaching with constellations. Rather than driving change through force or strategy alone, this guide helps leaders and change-makers reveal the hidden patterns beneath problems and attune to the natural order of systems - to restore flow, coherence, and harness their potential. It explores the capabilities and ways of being that leaders now need, and offers practical tools for systemic partnering, to support transformation across individuals, teams, organizations and ecosystems. Whether you are a leader, manager, coach, or simply curious, this inspiring and pragmatic book will help you co-create the conditions for healthier, more purposeful systems to unfold - and free up a future where people and the planet can flourish together.
