The New Civil Rights Research A Constitutive Approach

The New Civil Rights Research A Constitutive Approach

First published in 2006 this book brings together some of the most innovative and important research on civil rights law and legality this book draws on narratives of individuals from a variety of contexts to provide a rich and contextualized understanding of what happens when law interacts with other competing systems or forms of social organization. By privileging the real world experiences of those most influenced by rights the collection moves beyond the traditional polarizing debates and presents a constitutive approach to rights that is not reducible to a simple 'for or against' rights formula. While this complex consciousness approach often contributes to the reproduction of dominant-subordinate social relations it also allows for spaces of resisting existing hierarchical structures embedded in various law-related sites. | The New Civil Rights Research A Constitutive Approach

In this fascinating and practical book Garet Newell and Simon Paul Ogden show how the Feldenkrais Method can be used by coaches and managers as a resource to improve both the performance of individuals and the health and wellbeing of the people they work with. The Feldenkrais Method is based on sound mechanical and neurological principles that are easily accessible through simple practical lessons. Through its emphasis on experiential learning The Feldenkrais Method for Executive Coaches Managers and Business Leaders offers a means to improve many aspects of everyday working life: from sitting and walking more comfortably improving interpersonal relations developing personal impact and presence to performing a highly developed skill more efficiently. By exploring patterns of everyday movement the method encourages the discovery of new possibilities and choices providing a remarkable approach for expanding potential.
