Women have a lengthy history of fighting their oppression as women and the inequalities associated with this to claim their place on the world stage, in their countries, and within their families. This article focuses on women’s struggles to be recognized as having legitimate concerns about development initiatives at all levels of society and valuable contributions to make to social development. Crucial to their endeavors were: (1) upholding gender equality and insisting that women be included in all deliberations about sustainable development and (2) seeing that their daily life needs, including their human rights, be treated with respect and dignity and their right to and need for education, health, housing, and all other public goods are realized. The role of the United Nations in these endeavors is also considered. Its policies on gender and development, on poverty alleviation strategies—including the Millennium Development Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals—are discussed and critiqued. Women’s rights are human rights, but their realization remains a challenge for policymakers and practitioners everywhere. Social workers have a vital role to play in advocating for gender equality and mobilizing women to take action in support of their right to social justice. Our struggle for equality has a long and courageous history.

History Approach

The new cinema history approach asserts the importance of investigating the historical reception of films. In the past two decades, empirical research on film audiences has significantly developed methodologies and questions related to film and memory. Some of these studies concentrate on a period of time in which cinema was an essential leisure activity for millions, before the arrival of television, multiplexes, videos and home cinema. Combining ethnographic audience study with cultural and cinema history has allowed new insights into the historical reception of films and confirmed the vital role of oral history for a better understanding of cinema audiences. Italian Cinema Audiences (2013–2016) – an AHRC-funded inter-institutional research project – sits precisely within this new body of research and responds to the urge of using a bottom-up approach to shed new light on the cultural history of a country in a particular historical moment. This article will make use of the findings of the Italian Cinema Audiences research project to explore the role of oral history in the process of understanding cinemagoing as a cultural practice and to better comprehend how this type of research can enrich our understanding of the cinemagoing experience in particular and film cultures more broadly. It will also reflect on the process of remembering what I will define as ‘memories of pleasure’.

Since the birth of the Icelandic museum in the nineteenth century they have played a vital role in the local heritage sector. Starting as expressions of national pride during the independence movement from Denmark, the three central museums, the National Museum of Iceland, The National Gallery of Iceland and the Icelandic Museum of Natural History, have played a vital role in the professional work of museums. They promote collaboration and institutional development, most recently by enabling the establishment of Museology at the University of Iceland. Tracing the history of the museum field, this article seeks to demonstrate the vital role of museums within museology at the University of Iceland. With continued collaboration, museum professionals and the museum studies program can promote positive change in the Icelandic heritage sector.

ResumoO solo é um material com características e comportamento únicos na interface das esferas biológica, hidrológica, litológica e atmosférica do nosso planeta e tem um papel vital no bem-estar humano. A história do solo tem seguido a par do uso do solo para crescer plantas, a história da agricultura desde as antigas civilizações até aos nossos dias. Até ao século 19, não houve experimentação e validação de teorias e não existiu verdadeira ciência. A ciência do solo nasceu há cerca de 150 anos com o trabalho realizado por cientistas Ingleses, Alemães, Dinamarqueses e, sobretudo, Russos. A meados do século 20, sob pressão das actividades humanas sobre o ambiente, a ciência do solo ultrapassou a sua base de conhecimento aplicada à agricultura e agronomia para abraçar temas sobre a terra e o ambiente. Nasceu o conceito de segurança do solo e este tratado no seu papel de proporcionar serviços ambientais e usado para quantificar os recursos edáficos agregando contribuições de pedologistas, economistas, sociólogos e políticos no processo de tomadas de decisões sobre o solo.Palavras-Chave: Evolução de Solo, História, CiênciaAbstractSoil is a material with unique features and behavior at the interface between the biologic, hydrologic, lithologic, and atmospheric spheres of our planet that plays a vital role in human welfare. The history of soil has been in step with the history of the use of soils to grow plants, a history of agriculture from earlier civilizations to our days. Until the 19th century, no experimentation and testing of theories were conducted and there was no real science. Soil science was born about 150 years ago with the works of English, German, Danish and, above all, Russian scientists. In mid-20th century, under pressure of human activities upon the environment, soil science out grew its base knowledge applied to agriculture and agronomy to play an ever-increased role of land and environmental issues. It was born the concept of soil security and soil was understood in its role of delivering ecosystem services and used to quantify the soil resource aggregating contributions of soil scientists, economists, social scientists and policy makers for decision- making process about soil.

Staging Laughter and Tears: Libanius, Chrysostom and the Riot of the Statues

The Riot of the Statues in 387 CE was a decisive moment in the history of Antioch in Syria. After the revolt, tears and public lamentations took over, as the inhabitants awaited imperial punishment. In the course of the crisis the rhetorician Libanius and the preacher John Chrysostom each tried to negotiate a settlement of the dispute between the authorities and the city. Their speeches depict dramatic scenes of collective weeping and lamentation and thus reflect not only emotional states but also the public use of tears. In doing so, they shine light on the theatrical qualities of emotional responses in social interaction. The analysis of the purposes for which both authors exploit the themes of laughing and wailing reveals two contrasting attitudes to urban society and oratory. While both recognise the vital role of laughter and tears in managing social relationships, Libanius’ representation of emotional expressions aims to eulogise the virtues of an imperial officer and maintain the traditional order of society. Chrysostom, by contrast, teaches his audience which emotions are acceptable in a Christian society and which are not. His aim is to implement an emotion management that is oriented towards the heavenly realm.
