Jean Morrison, Ruth McKenzie, Harriet Rouillard, Isabel Wilson, and Clare Clark were among the many intellectual women contributing to the birth and growth of the Canadian Association for Adult Education, which was transformative for literacy in the nation. This book provides an in-depth look at the Canadian Association for Adult Education (CAAE), a mid-twentieth century voluntary association that promoted active citizenship through their co-sponsorship of CBC radio programs National Farm Radio Forum and Citizens’ Forum. Focusing on the Association in its heyday (1935-1965), Adult Education scholar, Leona M. English highlights the CAAE’s staff of well-educated women who produced and distributed books and journals and led efforts such as the Indian-Eskimo Association, the first non-native organization to focus on native rights, and the Joint Planning Commission, a one-hundred member voluntary association that shared resources and cooperated with government, business and the non-profit sector for national improvements in education, arts and culture. These women edited the Food for Thought journal, which reached thousands of military personnel during World War II, wrote study club materials for the CBC radio programs, and actively promoted the work of the CAAE. English depicts how through them, the CAAE was able to focus on developing socially minded citizens and contribute to nation building in the mid-twentieth century. Citizens, Scholars, and Friends introduces these gifted contributors to Canadian history.
Criminological Analyses on Global Honor Killing
Honor killing is mainly practiced in South Asian, Middle East and Arab countries but it has global ramifications as citizens migrate to Western European countries and North America. Honor killings and honor related crimes often diminish women’s dignity and the achievements of feminist movements, along with other citizens along the gender spectrum. The socio-psychological issues of honor killings influence further study into gender and sexuality, diversity, culture and population, criminology, and law. A comparative study of the laws of various countries related to honor killing may help showcase the descent of caste and religious prejudices across generations. Criminological Analyses on Global Honor Killing analyzes the impact of honor-based crimes around the world. The book explores the ideology behind honor killing as well as the role of patriarchal societies in enhancing the crime. It also covers socio-cultural based influences while further understanding the complexity of family dynamics, class conflicts, and immigration in relation to this crime. This book covers topics such as criminology, feminism, and sociology, and is a useful resource for criminologists, historians, policymakers, government officials, theologists, feminists, academicians, and researchers.
