Sommario/riassunto

Undergraduate research is a high-impact practice that sparks students' interest in learning, and it improves retention, student success, graduation rates, and postgraduation achievement. Many individual campuses have offered these programs for several years, and the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) has partnered with state systems of higher education and public and private consortia to foster the institutionalization of undergraduate research.   This volume illustrates many of the successes that entire systems/consortia and their campuses have achieved, such as:   connecting undergradu

Sommario/riassunto

This book examines the gender dimensions of large-scale mining in the oil industry and how oil exploitation has produced long-term economic, political, social and environmental risks and benefits in developing countries. It also shows that these risks and benefits have been unequally distributed between women and men. This project maps the ongoing dialogue between women's issues and resource management, particularly, oil. The author attempts to answer the following questions: What are the impacts of oil projects on women in oil-rich countries? How can these impacts be explained? How can these impacts be reduced? Maryse Helbert is Assistant Professor, Leiden University College, Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs, Leiden University, the Netherlands.
