Place, Race and Politics presents an integrated analysis of the social and political processes that combined to construct a media-driven 'crisis' concerning African youth crime in the city of Melbourne, Australia.Combining original research and analysis alongside published sources, the authors carefully dissect the anatomy of a racialized and politicized public discourse and delve into the profound impact of this on African-Australian communities in Melbourne. Drawing on political and media analysis and community-based research, the authors investigate how South Sudanese Australians in Melbourne came to be identified, supposedly, as a unique threat to community safety, the role played by the media, state and federal politics, the policing and perceptions of race in this process, and the physical and emotional impacts on affected communities of the law and order crisis concerning 'African crime'.While deeply rooted in local conditions, the book resonates with similar examples of the criminalization and othering of racialized communities, the surveillance and exclusion of 'crimmigrants', and with popular punitivism and the rise of far-right politics globally in response to deeply felt anxieties about rapid social, economic and cultural change.

This book addresses a growing demand to hear the authentic voices and understand the lived tourist experiences of people with disability. The latest volume in The Tourist Experience series challenges what is arguably an exclusionary, marginalising, discriminatory, and ableist (tourism) world. By drawing attention to the 'dis/' in 'disabled', the authors provoke the need to change binary thinking about people who live with disability so that they may be 'able' to assume the role of tourist. They engage critical tourism and critical disability studies, and their respective theories, perspectives, and debates, around, for instance, models of disability that shape conceptualisations and worldviews, inclusive research and enabling language, and the ethics of care. These are pivotal to dismantling normative structures to enable a more inclusive, equitable, and socially just tourist experience that promotes a more independent and dignified tourism world for people with disability.

The experience of women's everyday lives in public relations roles across the world is under-recorded and under-explored. While the body of knowledge which explores public relations and corporate communications is growing, research that seeks to understand the working lives of women in promotional cultures is still limited. This collection prioritises women's experiences and histories to understand more about public relations practices and the daily lives of women who carry out this work.Demonstrating the breadth and range of feminist writing on women's work, chapters step away from management-based accounts of public relations towards a space where marginalised voices and the lived experiences of women at all stages in their career are foregrounded. Discussing working lives in Brazil, Spain, Bosnia, Turkey, the UK and beyond, authors consider in rich detail female roles, experiences and paradoxes.Reconceptualising human experience through a holistic feminist approach, Women's Work in Public Relations takes us behind the scenes to connect with women navigating the problems and contradictions of everyday working life.

Addressing a gap in social science research to explore the meanings, understandings, and experiences of time at life's most critical point, Time of Death takes a thoughtful sociological approach to questions about how humans use and experience time in relation to when someone dies.Considering temporal theories and drawing on a range of disciplines, Glenys Caswell discusses efforts to measure and record times of death, as well as the ways in which people who undergo bereavement experience time during that process. Looking at the impact of digital technologies, the differences in interpretation of what counts as death in varied social contexts, assisted dying and temporal dissonance, and global cases of people dying alone, the author poses critical questions. To what extent is this measurement the province of the medical and legal professions, and official state statistics? How accurate is this data and is there need for its collection? How does time in relation to death become fluid in a previously non-experienced way?Investigating this conceptual focus and questioning what it can add to our knowledge of the human relationship with time, Caswell brings together studies on death and temporality to create a valuable resource for scholars across disciplines.

Early career faculty colleagues may only recently have completed their own doctoral studies, and what knowledge they have of supervising doctoral candidates may be limited.

The structure of the book follows the student's journey - from selecting an appropriate topic of study, through the support needed to develop research skills and begin writing, to publications and the final defence of the thesis. Understanding the needs of doctoral candidates, developing relationships with other supervisors, and how to work with non-academic members of the supervising team are covered in this collection, with consideration given to different types of students including those with disabilities and those who join from abroad.Delivering practical and useful mentorship advice grounded in lived experience, Supervising Doctoral Candidates assists early-career academics and addresses the challenges of supervision.
