The 2016 and 2020 U.S. presidential elections will be remembered for years as a fierce clash between polarized views, ideologies, and values embedded in an ongoing political and social conflict. The extreme partisanship of contemporary American politics has deepened an ideological cleavage between liberals and conservatives on a number of topics including gun control, taxes, and abortion, and climate change. The academic community has been working on the notions of political and social conflict for many years. However, this research was never translated into a symbiotic body of knowledge helping scholars and practitioners to understand conflict as an adjustable social construct transformed by the realities of a mediatized society. The Handbook of Social and Political Conflict proposes to fill the gap by making state-of-the-art research available to students, scholars, and practitioners. Including coverage of topical issues such as social justice movements, 'cancel culture' and character assassination, misinformation, and the politicization of science among many others, this Handbook provides a thorough examination of the myriad ways in which conflict is manifested in our mediatized society. Interdisciplinary in approach with coverage of global political conflict and social issues, The Handbook of Social and Political Conflict provides a comprehensive overview of intercultural, international, intergenerational and ideological conflict and its resolution, while providing research to help the reader critically evaluate the effectiveness of methods of response to conflict and develop critical thinking regarding conflict resolution. Suitable for students and scholars of both Communication & Media Studies and Political Sciences, and applicable to many other disciplines touching on social justice, social media, and environmental issues.

The climate crisis has forced us to recognize that we are not separate from nature but are part of the natural world on which we depend: human beings are animals and we must understand much better our place in nature and our impact on our environment if we are to avoid our own annihilation as a species.  And yet we feel nevertheless that we do not entirely fit into nature, that we stand apart from other animals in some way - in what way, exactly?Markus Gabriel argues that what distinguishes humans from other animals is that humans are minded living beings who seek to understand the world and themselves and who possess ethical insight into moral contexts.  Mind is the capacity to lead one's life in the light of a conception of who or what one is.  The undeniable difference between us and other animals defines the human condition and places a special responsibility on us to consider our actions in the context of other living beings and our shared habitat.  It also calls on us to cultivate an ethics of not-knowing: to recognize that, however much we may seek to understand the world, we will never completely master it.  Our grasp of reality, mediated by our animal minds, will always be limited: much is and will remain alien to us, lending itself only to speculation - and to remember this is to stand us in better stead for carving out an existence among the environmental crisis that looms before us all.

Wide-ranging introduction to social theory that carefully avoids simplification of ideas whilst presenting theories in an accessible language for students. Inspired by the authors own teaching and dissatisfaction with current books on the market to provide accessible yet sophisticated guides to social theory.

Multiple times a day, in cities across the US and beyond, a simple yet powerful message is repeated by the well-meaning, the ignorant, and the bigoted: "don't go" - avoid at all costs those Black and Brown disinvested neighborhoods that have become bywords for social disorder and urban decay. This book is a collection of stories and photos that uncover the hidden influence of both subtle and overt "don't go" messages and the segregation they perpetuate in Chicago. Told by everyday people to Tonika Lewis Johnson and Maria Krysan - a Black artist and a White academic who met through their shared passion for anti-segregation work - the stories paint a rich picture of life in a segregated city. One by one, the storytellers upend pessimism with candid, deeply personal, humorous, and heartbreaking tales, and with novel ideas for simple actions that can serve as antidotes to both racism and "place-ism." By inviting readers into the lives of regular people who have ignored the warning to stay away from "don't go" neighborhoods or who live in those very same neighborhoods, the stories in Don't Go illuminate the devastating consequences of racial segregation and disinvestment as well as the inevitable rewards of coming together.
