Issue 11 (Spring 2008): Social Engagement, Empowerment and Change
eSharp's eleventh issue, 'Social Engagement, Empowerment and Change', examines the social implications and practical applications of theory, as well as how these may empower marginalised social groups or promote social change. The issue reflects a wide variety of topics from Nigerian literature to media representation of asylum seekers in Scotland; from ethics in architecture education to conflict resolution in Afghanistan; from refugee organizations to the child in criminology.
With contributing authors from universities in Australia, the USA and across the UK, eSharp is proud to present this series of articles demonstrating the diversity of approaches to issues of social engagement and empowerment across disciplines.
