Cybersexism is rampant and can exact an astonishingly high cost. In some cases, the final result is suicide. Bullying, stalking, and trolling are just the beginning. Extreme examples such as GamerGate get publicized, but otherwise the online abuse of women is largely underreported. This book combines a history of online sexism with suggestions for solutions. Using current events and the latest available research into cybersexism, the author questions the motivations behind cybersexist activities and explores methods to reduce footprints of Internet misogyny, drawing parallels between online and offline abuse. By exploring the cases of Alyssa Funke, Rehtaeh Parsons, Audrie Pott, Zoe Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu, and others, and her personal experiences with sexism, the author develops a method of combating sexism online.

This article seeks to advance our understanding of the care experiences of people living with the effects of disability, ageing and other social locations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on key informant interviews (n = 8) and results from an anonymous online survey (n = 36), this article provides evidence of how people with disabilities and older adults in Ontario, Canada, experienced disruptions in different types of care in their multiple caring relationships. The results describe why they were not able to access the care that they needed during a period when activities began to resume and how their caring relationships had been disrupted. The impact of disruption on people with disabilities, older adults and others in their care relationships was exacerbated by barriers rooted in ableism, ageism and other forms of exclusion. This study demonstrates the importance of addressing unmet care needs by moving beyond the dichotomy of 'carer' and 'cared for'.

Abstract
This paper contributes to the legal and socio-legal literature on long-term care (LTC) facilities (also known as nursing homes) by drawing from the responsive regulation literature and empirical research conducted in 2021 and 2022. Enforcement is an under-explored aspect in the legal and socio-legal literature on LTC. This research asks how the regulator's enforcement activities shape compliance of LTC homes in Ontario. This paper reports the results from eleven semi-structured key informant interviews with associations that represent LTC facilities, advocacy organizations, unions, and professionals, such as lawyers. The current enforcement activities do not appear to evoke responsiveness in at least some of the LTC homes because the regulator's approach is not dynamic: the regulator does not change its mix of "persuasion" and "coercion" in order to respond to the motivations and behaviours of homes. Inspection and enforcement activities have had little impact on how homes respond to rules.

With the help of a database of historical-national monuments, the article will look at monuments' mediating function between the commemorated personalities and the locations of their commemorative presence. An analysis of this dataset offers a new way of studying the relationship between national and regional layers of collective memory. Italy offers an excellent test case to explore the possibilities of this data-driven methodology. The unification of a nationally Italian collective memory corresponds directly with the unification of the Italian state out of the pre-existing, old historical regions with their own, well-established historical consciousness. While a national memory culture becomes apparent in the late nineteenth century, public monuments remain predominantly local/regional in orientation, with only a few memory figures (especially Garibaldi) commemorated on a truly national scale.

The COVID-19 casualties in long-term care homes (nursing homes) around the world are usually described as our collective failure in care towards older adults. The plight of younger long-term care residents appears to be forgotten in the midst of long-term care tragedies. This article summarises a small number of key informant interviews (conducted in 2017) that shed light on why younger adults reside in long-term care homes in Ontario, Canada. To put it simply, the younger residents have nowhere to go. Diverting younger people with disabilities from long-term care will help alleviate pressures on long-term care systems as respective governments race to reform them.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and create journalistic stories highlighting the Yazoo Backwater Pumps Projects relationship to climate change while utilizing narrative storytelling techniques. Before explaining the methodology used for conducting research and interviews, the researcher describes the influence that innovations of mass communication channels have had on the way humans form groups and persuasively advocate for their positions. The researcher describes their historical perspective of mass media innovations that were vital considerations during their discovery and investigation of this politically divisive issue. The researcher more specifically focuses on the innovations that have occurred since the digital information revolution. These innovations the researcher believes have had significant impacts on the way we communicate as a society, especially over ideological and political conflicts. The researcher then details their experiences, thoughts, and methodology utilized during the research and data collection portion of the project. They also explain why certain creative decisions were made when crafting and framing the collection of narrative stories that describe the Yazoo Backwater Pumps Project's history, conflicts, and its relationship to social media and climate change. The results of this project demonstrate the stark contrast of facts and opinions advocated for by the proponents and opponents of the project and how those positions have been affected by the rapid increase in accessibility to information and mass communication channels. It also effectively illustrates the potential risk that the climate crisis has on the Mississippi Delta and its inhabitants.

This article makes a cautious case against unequivocal acceptance of a rights paradigm for carers. The article draws on criticisms of care advanced by disability scholars. It will then utilise the work of Jonathan Herring, who suggests that in a caring relationship, the interests and identities of all parties are intermingled and it is impossible to consider the welfare or rights of any one party in isolation. Examples in the long-term care sector (nursing homes) in Ontario, Canada, will be used to illustrate situations where the use of rights can be respectful for all parties in a caring relationship.
