Theories of gender justice in the twenty-first century must engage with global economic and social processes. Using concepts from economic analysis associated with global commodity chains and feminist ethics of care, Ann Stewart considers the way in which 'gender contracts' relating to work and care contribute to gender inequalities worldwide. She explores how economies in the global north stimulate desires and create deficits in care and belonging which are met through transnational movements and traces the way in which transnational economic processes, discourses of rights and care create relationships between global south and north. African women produce fruit and flowers for European consumption; body workers migrate to meet deficits in 'affect' through provision of care and sex; British-Asian families seek belonging through transnational marriages.

Six years after the National Gallery of Ireland was opened in 1864, the Governors and Guardians, at the suggestion of the then Director of the Gallery, Henry Doyle, decided to form a collection of Irish National Portraits. The impetus for such a collection came from a loan exhibition of national portraits which took place in Dublin in 1872 and the Gallery set about acquiring some of those pictures for the new collection. Since that time the National Gallery of Ireland has assembled a large and representative collection of portraits, which in the words of the first catalogue published in 1875, comprise not only the portraits of eminent Irishmen and Irishwomen, but also of statesmen and others who were politically or socially connected with Ireland, or whose lives serve in any way to illustrate her history, or throw light on her social or literary or artistic records . From this collection Ann Stewart has selected fifty portraits ranging from The Fair Geraldine (d.1589) who is immortalised in the poetry of the Earl of Surrey to a portrait of James Joyce painted in 1934. The people depicted in the portraits include soldiers and statesmen, poets, playwrights and patriots and some who were famous for no reason other than being beautiful. All are illustrated in colour and in the accompanying text the author describes the lives of the sitters and the circumstances of the time in which they lived.Ann Stewart is Librarian at the National Gallery of Ireland.Cover: detail of Portrait of James Joyce by Jacques-Emilc Blanche.

* Explores the correlation between gender and access and choice in higher education for young women and men in India, asking key questions in a context where higher education is massifying and gender parity of enrolment has been reached at undergraduate level. * Relates the Indian context to international research on widening participation with global implications for the ways in which gender is analysed and framed in widening participation research and policy. * Fills a gap in the existing literature by combining access to higher education with gender in an Indian context that offers both a in-depth look at India while enabling recommendations to be extrapolated for similar contexts.
