This chapter describes the history and organization of palliative care volunteering in The Netherlands, volunteer roles in different settings, legislative and political influences on palliative care volunteering. Today 200 member organizations are part of the umbrella organization VPTZ Nederland. Together, these member organizations run 87 almost-like-home-houses where medical staff are not employed by the hospice, but visit and care for the patient and family when needed, just as in the home situation, in 18 high-care hospices (with medical staff) and nine palliative care units (units in nurs

Abstract:

This chapter explores the history of volunteers in the founding and development of United Kingdom (UK) hospice services. It considers the changing role and influences of volunteering on services at different stages of development. Evidence suggests that voluntary sector hospice and palliative care services are dependent on volunteers for the range and quality of services delivered. Within such services, volunteer trustees carry significant responsibility for the strategic direction of the organiszation. Others are engaged in diverse roles ranging from the direct support of patient and families

Abstract:

Hospice and palliative care in Central and Eastern European countries benefits from volunteers involved in a variety of services. The variety of volunteering across the region reflects diverse political, economic, and legal situations in post-communist countries. Poland led palliative care in the 1980s with other countries following in the 1990s. Polish palliative care started with volunteers, the Catholic Church and the country’s first non-governmental organizations running home centres with care incorporated into health care systems after the democratic changes of 1989. That brought financin

Abstract:

Chapter 6 takes up a second dimension of congregational culture—giving—and assesses the ways in which joining shapes men’s and women’s involvement both within and beyond their individual congregations. We begin with a review of what clergy would like to see happening within their congregations and move on to explore narratives of involvement, volunteering, and ideas about the articulation of faith to politics and social change. In each of these domains, we assess gender overlap and diversity in giving—whether financially or as volunteers within these congregations’ programs of service, or in b

Abstract:

Unlike previous chapters, which are driven by the primary sources, this one relies on works by scholars and activists. From studies of the US, Australia, and Africa, this chapter finds a sharp break during the early 1990s in perceptions of HIV/AIDS’s social and political consequences. From emphasizing hate, violence, discrimination, and stigmatization, AIDS scholars and activists began focusing on the outpouring of volunteerism, charity, compassion, and successes from political activism: organizational developments (CBIs), volunteerism across communities—gay and straight, creativity in the art

Abstract:

This edited collection explores the temporal dimensions of civil society through examining how different lifecourse stages and events trigger or hinder engagement with civil society. There is increasing concern about declining levels of participation, and fears that young people today are far less civically engaged than older generations. Some believe that an already-weakened civil society looks set to enter a phase of terminal decline. However, these gloomy predictions do not consider the possibility not only that the nature of civic engagement may be changing, but that participation may wax

Abstract:

This chapter explores the history of maternalist mobilization and women’s community politics in the United States. It argues that both “maternalism” and “community” have proved to be highly flexible mobilizing frames for women. Building on the insights of intersectionality theory, the authors suggest that women’s maternal and community politics is shaped by their social locations within multiple, intersecting relations of domination and subordination, as well as their political ideologies and historical context. The chapter begins by discussing the politically contradictory history of maternal

Abstract:

We praise those people who do things for others. But the symbolic power of giving means individuals can take advantage of the glow of ‘goodness’ that charity provides. This book analyses the reality of how charity operates in the social world; how the personal benefits of giving and volunteering are vital for getting charitable acts to happen; how the altruism associated with gifts isn't always what it seems; how charity misbehaviour or bad management gets overlooked; and how charity symbols are weaponised against those who don't participate.

Chapter 9 examines some of the cognitions (i.e., attitudes, beliefs, perceptions) that might be related to flourishing during emerging adulthood. Positive development in emerging adulthood is often examined through the lens of what young people do (e.g., volunteerism, service, political activism, preparation for careers). It may be, however, that the very way in which young people cognitively approach the third decade might influence whether they flourish or flounder. This chapter examines the ways in which beliefs about (a) time, (b) the third decade of life, (c) adulthood, and (d) marriage a

Few causes before or since have inspired such passion, determination and sacrifice than the Spanish Civil War (1936-9). This book explores the many ways in which Scots responded to the war in Spain, covering the activists and humanitarians who raised funds and awareness at home, as well as the hundreds of Scots who journeyed to Spain to fight as part of the International Brigades that fought for the Republican cause. Their stories reflect much larger narratives of the rise of European fascism, the networks and cultures of international communism and the wider modern phenomenon of transnational

Abstract:

Why does the mind matter for joint action? Contentious Minds is a comparative study of how cognitive and relational processes allow activists to sustain their commitment. With survey data and narratives of activists engaged in three commitment communities, the minds of activists involved in contentious politics are compared with those devoted to institutional and volunteering action. The book’s main argument is that activists of one commitment community have synchronized minds concerning the aim and means of their activism as they perceive common good (aim) and politics (means) through similar

Abstract:

The Long Crisis explores the origins and implications of one of the most significant developments across the globe over the last fifty years: the diminished faith in government as capable of solving public problems. Conventional accounts of the shift toward market and private sector governing solutions have focused on the rising influence of conservatives, libertarians, and the business sector. The Long Crisis, however, locates the origins of this transformation in the efforts of city-dwellers to preserve liberal commitments of the postwar period.

This Handbook offers an up-to-the-minute analysis of Islam in America by 30 of the best scholars in the field. It covers the initial growth of Islam in the US from the earliest arrivals through the beginnings of African American Islam, as well as the waves of pre- and post-WWII immigrants when Muslims had little sense of religious identity in relation to their American compatriots. Providing basic information about Sunni, Shi‘ite, sectarian and Sufi movements in America, the volume considers the role of ethnic and racial identity in religious formation.
