Thank you for your unwavering understanding and support. iii Abstract The following research was completed with an understanding that there is much to know about women who use intravenous drugs (WUID). The extant literature about the lives of people who use intravenous drugs (PWID) is mostly quantitative, highly androcentric, and primarily focused on HIV transmission. What is needed is information about the culture of WUID and the circumstances contributing to their poor health both from drug use and the conditions in which they live.

  • Teaching Gender in Social Work
    Teaching Gender in Social Work Teaching Teaching with Gender How can educators (teachers, professors, trainers) address issues of gender, women, gender roles, feminism and gender equality? The ATHENA thematic network brings together specialists in women’s and gender studies, feminist research, women’s rights, gender equality and diversity. In the book series ‘Teaching with Gender’ the partners in this network have collected articles on a wide range of teaching practices in the field of gender. The books in this series address challenges and possibilities of teaching about women and gender in a wide range of educational contexts. The authors discuss the pedagogical, theoretical and political dimensions of learning and teaching on women and gender. The books in this series Teaching with Gender contain teaching material, reflections on feminist pedagogies and practical discussions about the development of gender-sensitive curricula in specific fields. All books address the crucial aspects of education in Europe today: increasing international mobility, the growing importance of interdisciplinarity and the many practices of life-long learning and training that take place outside the traditional programmes of higher education. These books will be indispensable tools for educators who take seriously the challenge of teach- Lesko Vesna Edited by ing with gender. (For titles see inside cover.) Teaching Gender in Social Work The need for a book on teaching gender in social work arises from the fact that social work education often fails to incorporate gender, even though most of the people that use social work services are women, a majority of social workers are women, and women have had throughout history a significant role in the establishment of social work.

  • Dancing Dreams: Performing American Identities in Postwar Hollywood Musicals, 1944-1958
    Dancing Dreams: Performing American Identities in Postwar Hollywood Musicals, 1944-1958 Pamella R. Lach A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Peter G. Filene John F. Kasson Robert C. Allen Jerma Jackson William Ferris ©2007 Pamella R. Lach ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Pamella R. Lach Dancing Dreams: Performing American Identities in Postwar Hollywood Musicals, 1944-1958 (Under the direction of Peter G. Filene) With the pressures of the dawning Cold War, postwar Americans struggled to find a balance between conformity and authentic individualism. Although musical motion pictures appeared conservative, seemingly touting traditional gender roles and championing American democratic values, song-and-dance numbers (spectacles) actually functioned as sites of release for filmmakers, actors, and moviegoers. Spectacles, which film censors and red- baiting politicians considered little more than harmless entertainment and indirect forms of expression, were the least regulated aspects of musicals. These scenes provided relatively safe spaces for actors to play with and defy, but also reify, social expectations. Spectacles were also sites of resistance for performers, who relied on their voices and bodies— sometimes at odds with each other—to reclaim power that was denied them either by social strictures or an oppressive studio system. Dancing Dreams is a series of case studies about the role of spectacle—literal dances but also spectacles of discourse, nostalgia, stardom, and race—in inspiring Americans to find forms of individual self-expression with the potential to challenge prevailing norms.

All rights reserved. The International Harm Reduction Development program (IHRD) of the Open Society Institute (OSI) supports local, national, and regional initiatives in Central and Eastern Europe, the Russian Federation, and Central Asia that address drug problems through innovative measures based on the philosophy of harm reduction. Harm reduction is a pragmatic and humanistic approach to diminishing the individual and social harms associated with drug use—especially the risk of HIV infection. Harm reduction encompasses a wide range of drug user services including needle and syringe exchange, methadone treatment, health education, medical referrals, and support services. The Open Society Institute aims to shape public policy to promote democratic governance, human rights and economic, legal and social reform. On a local level, OSI implements a range of initiatives to support the rule of law, education, public health, and independent media. At the same time, OSI works to build alliances across borders and continents on issues such as combat- ing corruption and rights abuses. A private operating and grantmaking foundation based in New York City, OSI was created in 1993 by investor and philanthropist George Soros to support his foundations in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.

In projects such as the Homeless Vehicle, which he designed through discussions with homeless people, Wodiczko has helped to make public space a place where marginalized people can speak, establish their presence, and assert their rights. Critical Vehicles is the first book in English to collect Wodiczko’s own writings on his projects. Wodiczko has stated that his principal artistic concern is the displacement of tradi- tional notions of community and identity in the face of rapidly expanding technologies and cultural miscommunication. In Critical Vehicles these writings he addresses such issues as urbanism, homeless- ness, immigration, alienation, and the plight of refugees. Fusing wit and sophisticated political insight, he offers the artistic means to help heal the damages of uprootedness and other contemporary troubles. In 1998, Krzysztof Wodiczko was awarded the Hiroshima Prize for his contribution as an artist to world peace. “Krzysztof Wodiczko’s public artworks bring the city to life. Statues, monuments, and buildings speak, questioning power and even declaring rights. The writings in Critical Vehicles place this poetic, disquieting art within the most urgent polit- ical project of our time: the struggle to extend democracy by interrupting certitudes about the meaning of social life.

    Andrew Ranard, chronicler of Burmese painting, dies at 69 - The Washington Post The Washington Post logo Democracy Dies in Darkness Sections Obituaries Andrew Ranard, chronicler of Burmese painting, dies at 69 Andrew Ranard in 1986. (John Ranard) By Matt Schudel February 14 https://www.washingtonpost.com/...g-dies-at-69/2019/02/14/26e42250-306c-11e9-813a-0ab2f17e305b_story.html?utm_term=.9decd19d1c37[2/19/2019 7:14:22 PM] Andrew Ranard, chronicler of Burmese painting, dies at 69 - The Washington Post Andrew Ranard, an expatriate American teacher and writer who became a leading expert on Burmese painting and the author of a definitive book on the subject, died Feb. 1 at a hospital in Tokyo. He was 69. The cause was lung cancer, said a brother, Donald Ranard. Mr. Ranard (pronounced RAY-nard), whose father was a Foreign Service officer, grew up in diplomatic compounds in Asia, spending several years in Burma, now also known as Myanmar, in the 1960s. After serving as an Army medic in Vietnam, Mr. Ranard moved to Tokyo, where he taught English and worked as a freelance writer. After inheriting a Burmese painting from his mother in the early 1990s, he traveled to Myanmar on a writing assignment. He developed a consuming interest in Burmese art, which had documented the country’s cultural history in a traditional style for centuries. He learned that British painters had traveled throughout the country in the early 20th century, painting local scenes and passing on their techniques to students at the Burma Art Club. In the 1920s, Burmese painter U Ba Nyan studied in London and returned to his homeland as a master of traditional, Western-style realistic art.
