Laura Anna Klein widmet sich den Entscheidungen von Individuen im Kontext der Zeugung, während der Schwangerschaft und der Geburt nicht nur auf der Ebene des Verfassungsrechts, sondern bezieht soziologische, ethische, rechtspolitische und internationale Debatten in ihre Überlegungen ein. Mithilfe eines theoretischen Rahmens zu reproduktiven Freiheiten analysiert und reflektiert sie kritisch, wie das Bundesverfassungsgericht und die Rechtswissenschaft den Lebensbereich der Reproduktion bisher verhandeln. Im Anschluss erfolgt eine Darstellung der internationalen Debatte um reproduktive Gesundheit und Rechte, um schließlich für eine grundrechtliche Neujustierung des Lebensbereichs zu plädieren, die menschenrechtliche Gewährleistungen und empirische Erkenntnisse angemessen berücksichtigt. Dabei zeigt sie Handlungsoptionen, Aufträge und Grenzen für gesetzgeberisches Handeln und gesellschaftliche Aushandlungsprozesse auf.
A call to action that promotes K–12 schools and students as key contributors to climate solutions Laura A. Schifter and Jonathan Klein highlight the many ways in which K-12 schools and students have tremendous potential to advance solutions on environmental issues, and they provide frameworks for enacting change, in Students, Schools, and Our Climate Moment. Schifter and Klein demonstrate how the effects of climate change intersect with US public schools on multiple levels—for example, schools must prepare students to face the challenges of an uncertain future, accommodate disruptions brought about by extreme weather conditions, and evaluate their systems’ energy consumption and carbon emissions. Through rousing case studies of climate efforts in schools across the United States, Schifter and Klein show what it means to center children and young people in climate solutions and illustrate how educators and institutions can take comprehensive action. They share step-by-step plans for applying the lessons of these situations to future action, rooting their frameworks in the climate action plan of the Aspen Institute’s K12 Climate Action Commission and the Coherence Framework developed by the Public Education Leadership Project at Harvard University. The tools and key takeaways offered here can help raise climate literacy among students and also foster a climate collaboration mindset within districts, inspire community mobilization toward equity and sustainability, and enact policy change to shift society and mitigate the climate crisis.

Since the colonization of indigenous peoples in North America, the roles of Native women within their societies have been concealed or, at best, misunderstood. By examining gender status, and particularly power, in ten culture areas, this volume, edited by Laura F. Klein and Lillian A. Ackerman, seeks to draw away the curtain of silence surrounding the lives of Native North American women.Power is understood to be manifested in a multiplicity of ways: through cosmology, economic control, and formal hierarchy. In the Native societies examined, power is continually created and redefined through individual life stages and through the history of the society. The important issue is autonomy-whether, or to what extent, individuals are autonomous in living their lives. Each author demonstrates that women in a particular cultural area of aboriginal North America had (and have) more power than many previous observers have claimed.In this volume:""Introduction,"" Laura F.
