"How much room to manoeuvre do administrators of municipal social services feel they have in meeting organizational objectives? How much latitude do staff in these services have to utilize their own expertise in performing tasks? What challenges do welfare services face due to cultural diversity? Can new ways of working contribute to increased learning for students in the practice field? These are among the questions addressed in this book, in which challenges associated with maintaining society's objectives in municipal health, care and child welfare services are focused on. The goal is to provide the reader with insight into degree of latitude pratictioners have when seeking to utilize their own expertise in the context of their job. The book is a collection of ten scholarly articles that, via new empirical studies and theoretical contributions, shed light on manoeuvering room within the practical fulfilment of professional welfare services in the two main municipal healthcare and child welfare organizations. Both services must comply with public regulatory measures in an increasingly more complex field; both are therefore examined in the same anthology. Latitude in Professional Welfare Administration is directed primarily toward students in nursing, child welfare and social education, but may be of interest to students in other health and caregiving fields as well. Employees within municipal health and family services including child welfare services, and politicians involved in development within this sector, will also find this anthology useful. The anthology's editors are Bente Lilljan Lind Kassah, professor of sociology at UiT The Arctic university of Norway in Harstad; Hilde Nordahl-Pedersen, assistant professor at UiT The Arctic university of Norway in Harstad; and Wivi-Ann Tingvoll, docent emerita at UiT The Arctic university of Norway in Narvik."

The migration issue, which is presented as one of the most current socio-economic and political problems, when combined with the cataclysm produced by the COVID pandemic, acquires new dimensions. We have approached this project of the PAIGH-OAS, knowing that on the one hand it is transcendental for the Inter-American System due to its connotations and implications and that on the other, we do it both as historians and actors. Double challenge for having to analyze the processes in scientific terms and in turn in first person, events that have involved us since their origins and are still valid due to the uncertainty that this complex disease continues to cause in the world.

Consacrer en 2021 un nouvel ouvrage aux Maisons des Sciences de l'Homme (MSH) pourrait être une occasion de s'en tenir à assurer leur promotion, à ré-éclairer « quinze ans après » sous une lumière avantageuse le dispositif décrit en 2006, aux premiers temps de sa mise en place, dans un volume qui exposait les fondamentaux scientifiques et institutionnels à l'origine de la création des MSH et de leur réseau. Mais la tonalité générale des propos tenus et des analyses proposées dans ce livre n'est pas celle de l'autocélébration. Outre la présentation de ce qu'est la réalité actuelle des MSH dans ses diverses déclinaisons, les textes des contributeurs réunis ici offrent à travers des expériences croisées un aperçu précis des potentialités de ce type de structure et des enjeux que ses modes originaux de fonctionnement comportent non seulement pour son propre avenir mais pour celui de l'ensemble de la recherche en sciences humaines et sociales.

This book tells a history of music in Chile from the perspective of labor, which has not been sufficiently explored until now. Instead of prioritizing the work of art, the author puts the work of the musicians and their union organizations at the center. She builds the story from various sources, many of them unpublished and written by the musicians who worked between 1893 and 1940, in Valparaíso, Chile.
