Esta coletânea reflete a riqueza dos diálogos interdisciplinares que se dão no cotidiano de um programa de pós-graduação feminista formado por pesquisadoras, pesquisadores e estudantes de formações acadêmicas variadas.

Reivindicado por segmentos do Serviço Social como importante campo de estudos para aprimoramento e reconhecimento sobre os usuários dos serviços e, mesmo, sobre o perfil dos sujeitos assistentes sociais, o estudo sobre as "questões raciais" não ganha notoriedade como em outras áreas das ciências humanas e sociais. O livro Reveses da ausência trata do percurso e da expressão do tema "questões raciais", na literatura acadêmica, do ponto de vista histórico e contemporâneo no Serviço Social no período de 1936-2013. Nele, analiso como o ambiente acadêmico do Serviço Social inibe e/ou promove, motiva e/ou hesita as iniciativas na produção de pesquisas e estudos sobre as "questõ...

This is a compilation of contributions to the study of the Portuguese playwright Gil Vicente (1465–1536) which appeared between 2005 and 2015. Entries are grouped under three main headings: Editions and Adaptations, Translations, and Critical Studies. The scholarly interest in the father of the Portuguese theater continues unabated, as it can be seen in the great numbers of scholarly works, both editorial and critical, which appeared in the decade under question. The modest aim of this work is to alert scholars as to which of Gil Vicente’s works have not received adequate critical attention. New names are constantly added to the list of established vicentistas and new ways of looking at the dramatist’s works are introduced.

This book provides a comprehensive view of the origin and evolution of the plants of an entire oceanic archipelago.
The Atlantic Ocean is the second-largest of the world's oceanic divisions. It is bounded by the continents of America, Europe and Africa and at its pole wards margins by the Arctic and the Southern Oceans. Different climatic patterns can be observed along its large latitudinal domain, which extends from the equator to sub-polar regions. Thus, different tropical and extra-tropical meteorological systems may have some influence on the characterization of precipitation regimes observed surrounding the basin, such as the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), tropical monsoon systems, westerly storm tracks and atmospheric rivers. The subtropical regions of the Azores and South Atlantic high pres...
Recent worldwide education policy has reinvented teachers as agents of change and professional developers of the school curriculum. Academic literature has analyzed changes in how teacher professionalism is conceived in policy and in practice but Teacher Agency provides a fresh perspective on this issue, drawing upon an ecological theory of agency. Using this model for understanding agency, Mark Priestley, Gert Biesta and Sarah Robinson explore empirical findings from the 'Teacher Agency and Curriculum Change' project, funded by the UK-based Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). Drawing together this research with the authors' international experiences and perspectives, Teacher Agency addresses theoretical and practical issues of international significance. The authors illustrate how teacher agency should be understood not only in terms of individual capacity of teachers, but also in respect of the cultures and structures of schooling.
