Why does gender inequality persist in tech--even in workplaces that invest in fixing it? In Networking to Nowhere, sociologist Ethel Mickey uncovers the paradox at the heart of modern tech culture: Networking is hailed as the key to opportunity, yet it systematically works against women. Drawing on ethnographic research inside a top tech firm, Mickey reveals how "ideal" networking practices like informal referrals, after-hours schmoozing, and bro-bonding over sports reinforce old boys' clubs that exclude women and people of color. Women, encouraged to lean into formal events, conferences, and diversity programs, often find these efforts go unrewarded, networking them to nowhere. By exposing how gendered expectations, invisible cultural codes, and even well-meaning corporate DEI programs can deepen inequality, this book offers a powerful new framework for understanding gender and organizations in the contemporary economy--and what it will take to chart a new path forward.

Chinese Rule of Law Discourse System

Palgrave Socio-Legal Studies

This book builds on the scholarship by contributing a critical analysis of the shortfalls of LGBTQ+ laws in Africa and the areas of progress and possible paths forward. It outlines the state of LGBTQ+ rights across Africa and discusses the notion of queering African law. It explores regional approaches towards the protection of LGBTQ+ rights within Africa and the important role of activism in challenging anti LGBTQ+ laws notably through litigation, their successes, challenges and limitations. It discusses the tensions between cultural, historical and other factors that on one hand challenge progress but which on the other hand may also be avenues for advancing rights. In line with the argument of queer theory as relevant in Africa, the chapters draw on queer legal theory which allows for critical analysis that aims to advance “a reformation of legal discourse” on LGBTQ+ rights. This focus is timely given the introduction of harsher anti-homosexuality laws in some African countries. Through multdisciplinary contributions, it offers readers a nuanced analysis of the challenges towards truly queering African law and the possibilities for doing so.&nbsp;Adam D. Dubin

Gendered Inequality and Legal Consciousness

Understanding China

The book comprehensively explores the origins, structure, characteristics, functions, and unique role of Chinese legal tradition within the global scope of legal culture. It adopts a thematic framework that extends across multifaceted dimensions to examine the evolution, features and impact of Chinese legal culture, breaking away from the traditional chronological approach to legal history.


The book seamlessly integrates macro and micro views, bridges ancient and modern, as well as Chinese and foreign perspectives, and combines state law with folk law, and law with ethics. The content covers seven key aspects: the culture of rites and etiquettes, penal culture and practice, the culture of legal philosophies, the culture of a legal system, contractual culture, the culture of mediation, and the culture of justice. The topics encompass the origins of traditional Chinese law, the evolution of legal thoughts, the development of legal systems, the procedures and effects of legal practices, and the relationship between legal development and social change.


This book is primarily aimed at legal scholars, students, and practitioners who are interested in understanding Chinese traditional legal culture. It is also intended for readers with a moderate level of education or higher, who seek to understand Chinese legal history and culture.

Crime Prevention and Security Management

This edited collection synthesises rural criminological issues in Africa. It focusses on rural areas and rural communities in Africa in terms of victimisation, offending, lived experiences of law or being victims, policing, crime prevention, and theories and research methods. The chapters vary from conceptual, to focusing on a specific issue e.g. agricultural crime, corruption or Indigenous policing, a country, region, or all of Africa, with comparisons between countries and regions. Major themes include colonialism, human trafficking, causes and impacts of rural crimes in Africa, corruption, criminological theories in Africa, Indigenous policing in rural Africa, and cross-cutting issues.

This book explores violence in Latin America societies and its social representations in cinema. Just as mass media can legitimize and reproduce patterns and discourses of discrimination, they can also serve to raise awareness and change minds about social issues such as violence and thus enhance citizen participation in social change. This book explores how Latin American cinema portrays its diverse societies, offering theoretical perspectives and research methods for analysing film narratives within their social contexts. The book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the global logics of production and social reproduction of violence in a twentieth-century context, and it discusses issues of civilisation — barbarism and decolonisation in the Global South. It demonstrates that the visibility of violence and vulnerable groups on the screen can make an impact far beyond academia, shaping public opinion regarding these issues and influencing the audiences. It speaks to social sciences academics and researchers specialising in Latin American studies, media psychology, film studies, and cultural criminology.

Kritische Rassismusforschung | Critical Racism Studies

Migrantisierte Menschen erleben die Auswirkungen des Rassismus tagtäglich, insbesondere im Kontakt mit strukturellen und institutionellen Instanzen. In der Mehrheitsgesellschaft hingegen wird Rassismus je nach historischem Kontext und Diskurslage oft unterschiedlich wahrgenommen. Rassismuskritische Ansätze wie die Critical Race Theory, Postkolonialismus, Diskurstheorie, Intersektionalität, und weitere beleuchten vielfältige Facetten des Rassismus. Sie zeigen, wie tief er in sozialen Strukturen verankert ist.
Dieser Sammelband greift die Theorieinstrumente Pierre Bourdieus auf, um diese Perspektiven zu erweitern und neue Impulse für die Rassismuskritik zu setzen. Im Zentrum steht der Begriff der "Symbolischen Ordnung", verstanden in Verbindung mit Konzepten wie "Symbolische Gewalt", "Symbolische Herrschaft" und "klassenbasierte soziale Ordnung". Dabei wird nicht nur analysiert, wie und wo Rassismus sichtbar wird (Manifestationsorte), sondern auch, wie und wo er entsteht und reproduziert wird (Produktionsorte). Die Verknüpfung von Bourdieus Ansatz mit verschiedenen rassismuskritischen Theorien eröffnet neue Perspektiven auf die Mechanismen, die soziale Ungleichheiten und Herrschaftsformen wie Rassismus, Klassismus und Sexismus tief in der Gesellschaft verankern.

Transnational Crime, Crime Control and Security

This book uses a mixed-methods approach to understand the role of technology in facilitating exploitation in the UK’s off-street sex markets. It offers a critical social perspective on a truly complex social phenomenon encapsulating both online and offline spaces. It makes quite complex topics, including web scraping, data mining, and big data analytics, accessible to a wider audience through the careful introduction and discussion of a series of interrelated topics relevant to the trafficking-technology nexus. It synthesises critical social theory with critical data studies to offer a nuanced perspective on the role of technology in facilitating organised exploitation within the sex market. It discusses the practical implications for policing and harm reduction in the context of exploitation in the sex market. In addition to being of particular interest to law enforcement practitioners, researchers, and students of the sex market, exploitation and human trafficking, it will also be of interest as a contemporary case study of digital criminology or computational criminology.&nbsp;
Richard Kjellgren is a researcher at the Salvation Army Centre for Addiction Services and Research in the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Stirling, UK.
