With Home/Bodies, Wendy Schissel brings together a diverse range of voices which explore the concepts of home, gender, and identity. The metaphorical geographies of bodies, places, and spaces are the backdrop for such topics as: transgendered identities; young people and sexual health; kinetic art and disability; adolescent girls and consumer society; palliative care for dying loved ones; women and social activism; and aboriginal and multicultural perspectives. Qualitative research methods are referenced throughout, including interviews, case studies, focus groups, and narrative research.
Home/Bodies includes contributions by several new - generation feminist scholars and researchers, along with established teachers, researchers, and activists in the academy and the community.
Wendy Schissel is the Dean of Humanities at Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham, Oregon, and an adjunct professor at the University of Saskatchewan.
