    A reframing of collections management in museums worldwide. Collections Management as Critical Museum Practice redefines collections management as a political, critical, and social project, contradicting its misperception as a set of fixed procedures and universal practices. Highlighting national museums and community-led heritage work worldwide, this book explores the complexities of numbering, digitization, and description alongside the realities of climate change, global pandemics, and natural disasters. The contributors draw on their local experiences to emphasize the varying practices, ethics, and workplace pragmatics defining this work.

    Fabricate 2024: Creating Resourceful Futures is the fifth volume in the series of Fabricate publications. The first conference - 'Making Digital Architecture' - explored the ways in which technology, design and industry are shaping the world around us. Since then, we have become finely attuned to the negative impacts of this shaping. The 2024 conference, hosted in Copenhagen, sets focus on the pressing need to develop new models for architectural production that rethink how resource is deployed, its intensity, its socio-ecological origins and sensitivity to environment.This book features the work of designers, engineers and makers operating within the built environment. It documents disruptive approaches that reconsider how fabrication can be leveraged to address our collective and entangled challenges of resource scarcity, climate emergency and burgeoning demand. Exploring case studies of completed buildings and works-in-progress, together with interviews with leading thinkers, this edition of Fabricate offers a plurality of tangible models for design and production that set a creative and responsible course towards resourceful futures.

    Recommendations for enhancing belonging in STEM higher education. In Belonging and Identity in STEM Higher Education, Camille Kandiko Howson and Martyn Kingsbury examine the role of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pedagogies in facilitating belonging, variable impacts across student characteristics, and the experiences of STEM students in higher education. Through case study contributions, the book analyzes the unique educational environments for STEM staff and students throughout Europe and Asia, challenging the assumptions that STEM fields are inherently unemotional and impersonal disciplines.

    Brings together historians of popular politics, the civil wars, state welfare, and criminal justice to unveil the widespread influence of petitions in shaping politics and social dynamics in Early Modern Britain. The humble petition was ubiquitous in early modern society and featured prominently in crucial moments such as the outbreak of civil wars and in everyday local negotiations about taxation, welfare, and litigation. People at all levels of society, from noblemen to paupers, used petitions to make their voices heard, and these are valuable sources for mapping the structures of authority and agency that framed early modern society. The Power of Petitioning in Early Modern Britain offers a holistic study of this crucial topic in early modern British history. The contributors to this volume survey a vast range of sources, showing the myriad ways people petitioned the authorities from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. They cross the jurisdictional, sub-disciplinary, and chronological boundaries that have otherwise constrained the current scholarly literature on petitioning and popular political engagement. Teasing out broad conclusions from innumerable smaller interventions in public life, they not only address the aims, attitudes, and strategies of those involved but also assess the significance of the processes they used. This volume makes it possible to rethink the power of petitioning and to re-evaluate broad trends regarding political culture, institutional change, and state formation.

    A critique of current childcare systems, advocating for a transformative shift towards universal, publicly supported early childhood education and parenting leave. Written by two leading experts in early childhood education, Early Childhood in the Anglosphere offers a unique comparison of early childhood education and care services and parenting leave across seven high-income Anglophone countries. Peter Moss and Linda Mitchell explore what these systems have in common, including the dominance of childcare services, widespread privatization and marketization, and weak parenting leave. They highlight the substantial failings of these systems and the causes and consequences of these failings. But this book is ultimately about hope, about how these failings might be made good through major changes. In other words, it is about transformation: Why transformation is both necessary and possible at this particular time? What transformation might look like? And how it might happen? Part of that transformation concerns the need for new policies and structures. Furthermore, it is about how the Anglosphere thinks about early childhood. The authors call for a turn away from speaking of early childhood services as "childcare," conceptualizing it in terms of business and marketized commodities. Instead, they should be envisaged as a public good with universal access for children, supported by well-paid, individual entitlements to parenting leave. Using examples from the Anglosphere and beyond, the book argues that a transformation of thinking, policies, and structures is desirable and doable.
