This volume presents the first collection of essays dedicated to women as producers of visual and material culture in the Early Modern European courts, offering fresh insights into the careers of, among others, Caterina van Hemessen, Sofonisba Anguissola, Luisa Roldán, and Diana Mantuana. Also considered are groups of female makers, such as ladies-in-waiting at the seventeenth-century Medici court. Chapters address works by women who occupied a range of social and economic positions within and around the courts and across media, including paintings, sculpture, prints, and textiles. Both individually and collectively, the texts deepen understanding of the individual artists and courts highlighted and, more broadly, consider the variety of experiences of female makers across traditional geographic and chronological distinctions. The book is also accompanied by the "Global Makers: Women Artists in the Early Modern Courts" digital humanities project (www.globalmakers.ua.edu), extending and expanding the work begun here

I entered a doctoral program in social work to better understand how to use applied research to address emergent social issues. This case will describe the process of choosing and employing a methodology (ultimately a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods) to answer a newly emergent social question, "Who will care for people in the community who are no longer able to exercise decision-making capacity for themselves?" I knew of a program that recruited and trained volunteers to provide legal guardianship services to people in their community who were no longer able to make important decisions about their lives. Without assistance, people who have illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease may neglect their own health and safety and may jeopardize the safety of people in their community. Assuming legal guardianship is a very responsible task. Most people who chose to volunteer would prefer a less burdensome task, such as coaching, physical therapist assistant (PTA) work, or assisting with a fundraiser. I wanted to understand who accepted this very responsible volunteer task, why they chose to do this, and why they continued in this capacity. Understanding the demographic characteristics and motivations of these volunteers may help to replicate this program in other areas. This case study will help students understand the process of choosing a methodology that will address the research questions and how to engage both an academic audience and the public audience including the research participants in this study.

"Economists agree about many things--contrary to popular opinion--but the majority agree about culture only in the sense that they no longer give it much thought." So begins the first chapter of Cultures Merging, in which Eric Jones--one of the world's leading economic historians--takes an eloquent, pointed, and personal look at the question of whether culture determines economics or is instead determined by it. Bringing immense learning and originality to the issue of cultural change over the long-term course of global economic history, Jones questions cultural explanations of much social
