Ripping the Curtain: A Conversation with Peter Rollins, PhD
No full textPeter Rollins is a writer, philosopher, storyteller and public speaker who has gained an international reputation for overturning traditional notions of religion and forming “churches” that preach the Good News that we can’t be satisfied, that life is difficult, and that we don’t know the secret.
Challenging the idea that faith concerns questions relating to belief, Peter’s incendiary and irreligious reading of Christianity attacks the distinction between the sacred and the secular. It blurs the lines between theism and atheism and it sets aside questions regarding life after death to explore the possibility of life before death.
Peter gained his higher education from Queens University, Belfast where he earned degrees (with distinction) in Scholastic Philosophy (BA Hons), Political Theory and Social Criticism (MA) and Post-Structural thought (PhD). He’s the author of numerous books, including Insurrection, The Idolatry of God, and The Divine Magician. He was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, currently lives in Los Angeles and will die somewhere as yet not known
Queering Paradigms II : Interrogating Agendas
No full textThis book offers a fundamental challenge to a variety of theoretical, social, and political paradigms, ranging from law and justice studies to popular culture, linguistics to political activism.\ud
Developing the intellectual project initiated in Queering Paradigms, this volume extends queer theorizing in challenging new directions and uses queer insights to explore, trouble, and interrogate the social, political, and intellectual agendas that pervade (and are often taken for granted within) public discourses and academic disciplines.\ud
The contributing authors include queer theorists, socio-linguists, sociologists, political activists, educators, social workers and criminologists. Together, they contribute not only to the ongoing process of theorizing queerly, but also to the critique and reformulation of their respective disciplines
Lee, Peter The Great; Marshall, Peter The Great
No full textTwo very similar books with the exact same title designed to augment the typical textbook survey of one of Russia's most turbulent, complex, and historic periods-that of Peter the Great. Both works are authored or edited by English scholars. S. J. Lee's volume on Peter is part of the "Lancaster Pamphlets" series that includes more than 40 titles on major topics in European history. William Marshall's volume, nearly twice the length of Lee's, is part of the "Seminar Studies in History" series, a series of approximately 75 titles on British and world history and edited by R. Lockyer, Emeritus Reader in History at the University of London. While both books share several basic features and purposes, they also have a few significant differences as well
Gay men, intimate partner violence, and help-seeking : the incomprehensibility of being a victim
No full textA recurring finding within the research on same-sex intimate partner violence (IPV) is that victims rarely seek assistance from police or other service providers. A study by William Leonard et al (2008: 47) in Victoria, Australia, found that around two thirds of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender victims did not report such violence. It also appears that men are less likely than women to seek help for IPV (Turell and Cornell-Swanson 2005:79–80), and for those that do, informal support networks are approached more often than formal services (Merrill and Wolfe 2000: 16; Farrell and Cerise 2006: 4)
Introduction : queering paradigms, interrogating agendas
No full textThe introduction to the first volume of Queering Paradigms suggested that to queer a paradigm is to of fer a challenge to “the hetero/homonormative and gender binarist assumptions of any given academic discourse.” As queer subjects defy the “seduction of identity by exclusion,” and celebrate “the whole potential of sexuality and gender fluidity and diversity,” any attempt to understand them through the lenses offered by standard discourse is destined to fail (Scherer 2010: 2). “Queer” is not simply a synonym for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Questioning/Queer (LGBTIQ) subjects, as common use might suggest. Rather, it ought to be read as a reference to all who defy being pigeon-holed, pushed to the margins, or being pressured to adopt common social narratives regarding gender and sexuality

Consensus Development Project (CDP): staffing for safe and effective nursing care – an overview: An overview of staffing for safe and effective nursing care
No full textWe present an overview of the research evidence on nurse staffing levels in acute hospitals, and how it has been applied to policy and practice, focussing primarily on the UK. Drawing on research reviews and examples of specific studies, we outline the current state of knowledge.. Much of the evidence comes from cross-sectional studies. More recently longitudinal studies allow a causal link between staffing and outcomes to be inferred. Lack of specificity on staffing levels has hindered application of research findings to practice; research rarely specifies how many nurses are needed for safe and effective care. The most significant impediment to achieving safe staffing, has been an underestimation of the number of RNs needed, and overestimation of the potential for substitution, resulting in low baseline staffing and a national shortage of RNs. Repeatedly new staffing solutions are sought rather than tackle the problem of too few RNs head on
