In the late 1960s and early 1970s the gender divide in American higher education narrowed rapidly as women shifted their aims from homemaking to careers. The dynamic-social-norms hypothesis explains why we observe unexpected and rapid rather than gradual change in women's education and employment. The explanation draws on a theory of social change developed by Timur Kuran that predicts revolutionary rather than incremental shifts in social norms. Critical to the argument is the claim that in some settings the choices of individuals depend in part on the choices of others. In the presence of interdependencies, the potential exists for unexpected and rapid transformations, such as that occurring in higher education between 1965 and 1975.

"This book provides a critically informed, comprehensive and multi-disciplinary entry-level account to human rights and development. The emergence of human rights within development and the evolving relationship has increasingly been brought to bear upon key debates and policies over the last couple of decades. This book provides a multi-disciplinary approach both theoretically and practically grounded and explores three over-arching questions and themes: First, why and how have human rights made this breakthrough? Second, is there agreement on human rights as a concept and how it is being used and understood within diverse development practices at global, national and local levels? Third, how we can gauge its impact upon development outcomes and what does the future hold for human rights and development? The book provides an in-depth understanding of human rights as a development challenge and delineates the responses and alternative critical approaches. Wide ranging in scope, it covers many examples of human rights within development, including global policy initiatives or vulnerable groups such as people living with HIV/AIDS, slum dwellers, victims of extra-judicial executions and indigenous peoples. This textbook will be an essential resource for social science students, particularly in the fields of development studies, human rights and geography. It should also appeal to practitioners in development and human rights"--

⁰́₈What should true community engagement look like? We know it needs to involve a cooperative approach that leads to an outcome that reflects the values of the parties involved. This challenge becomes particularly pertinent when the values in question are those of First Nations Peoples. David Jones⁰́₉ timely book demonstrates alternative ways to engage First Nations Peoples, specifically Traditional Owners, in conventional planning and design processes. It offers a way forward based on the solid foundations of long held and tested First Nations⁰́₉ cultural values. This ground-breaking book should be a bible for all professionals who have, are, or intend to, work in the landscape architecture, architecture, urban design, construction, and planning fields. It is also a ⁰́₋must read⁰́₊ for all the decision makers responsible for our urban environments.⁰́₉ ⁰́₄ Emeritus Professor Darryl Low Choy, School of Environment & Science, Griffith University, Australia Planning for Urban Country addresses a major gap in knowledge about the translation of Aboriginal values and Country Plans into Australia⁰́₉s built environment contexts. How do you ⁰́₈heal⁰́₉ Country if it has been devastated by concrete and bitumen, excavations and bulldozing, weeds and introduced plants and animals, and surface, aerial and underground contaminants? How then do Aboriginal values and Country Plan aspirations address urban environments? In this book, David Jones explores the major First Nations-informed design and planning transformations in Djilang / Greater Geelong since 2020. Included are short-interlinked essays about the political and cultural context, profiles of key exemplar architectural, landscape and corridor projects, a deep explanation of the legislative, policy and statutory precedents, opportunities and environment that has enabled these opportunities, and the how Wadawurrung past-present-future values have been scaffolded into these changes. Dr David S. Jones is Professor (Research) at Monash University, Adjunct Professor at the University of Canberra, and Adjunct Associate Professor at Griffith University, Australia. With academic and professional qualifications in urban planning, landscape architecture and cultural heritage, he has taught, researched and published extensively across these areas over the last 30 years, including in Indigenous Knowledge Systems

"Planning for Urban Country addresses a major gap in knowledge about the translation of Aboriginal values and Country Plans into Australia's built environment contexts. How do you 'heal' Country if it has been devastated by concrete and bitumen, excavations and bulldozing, weeds and introduced plants and animals, and surface, aerial and underground contaminants? How then do Aboriginal values and Country Plan aspirations address urban environments? In this book, David S. Jones explores the major First Nations-informed design and planning transformations in Djilang / Greater Geelong since 2020.
