The eighth Ontario Symposium brought together an international group of scholars who work in the area of the psychology of values. Among the categories these experts address are the conceptualizations of values, value systems, and value-attitude-behavior relations; methodological issues; the role of values in specific domains, such as prejudice, commitment, and deservingness; and the transmission of values through family, media, and culture. Each chapter in the volume illustrates both the diversity and vitality of research on the psychology of values.
Conceptually, intimacy is emerging across various disciplines as a topic worthy of investigation, yet it has yet to be fully articulated in feminist geography, or geography more widely. This book expands the horizons of how intimacy is understood and approached in feminist geographic work. It argues that engaging with how to access and work with intimacy ethically and politically, in research design, in the field and in the write-up enriches research, and that organizing such individual work through the theme of intimacy can deepen the understandings feminists have of experience, knowledge, and power, and in their relationships to each other.
