  • Background:

    Older adults experience symptoms of depression, leading to suffering and increased morbidity and mortality. Although we have effective depression therapies, physical distancing and other public health measures have severely limited access to in-person interventions.

    Objective:

    To describe the efficacy of virtual interventions for reducing symptoms of depression in community-dwelling older adults.

    Design:

    Systematic review.

    Setting:

    We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, PsycINFO, and gray literature from inception to July 5, 2021.

    Participants and interventions:

    We included randomized trials (RCTs) comparing the efficacy of virtual interventions to any other virtual intervention or usual care in community-dwelling adults ≥60 years old experiencing symptoms of depression or depression as an outcome.

    Measurements:

    The primary outcome was change in symptoms of depression measured by any depression scale.

    Results:

    We screened 12,290 abstracts and 830 full text papers. We included 15 RCTs (3100 participants). Five RCTs examined persons with depression symptoms at baseline and ten examined depression as an outcome only. Included studies demonstrated feasibility of interventions such as internet or telephone cognitive behavioral therapy with some papers showing statistically significant improvement in depressive symptoms.

    Conclusions:

    There is a paucity of studies examining virtual interventions in older adults with depression. Given difficulty in accessing in-person therapies in a pandemic and poor access for people living in rural and remote regions, there is an urgent need to explore efficacy, effectiveness, and implementation of virtual therapies.

  • Building on recent trends in the humanities and especially on scholarship done under the rubric of cultural transfer, this volume emphasizes the processes by which Americans took up, responded to, and transformed German cultural material for their own purposes. The fourteen essays by scholars from the US and Germany treat such topics as translation, the reading of German literature in America, the adaptation of German ideas and educational ideals, the reception and transformation of European genres of writing, and the status of the "German" and the "European" in celebrations of American culture and criticisms of American racism. The volume contributes to the ongoing re-conception of American culture as significantly informed by non-English-speaking European cultures. It also participates in the efforts of historians and literary scholars to re-theorize the construction of national cultures. Questions regarding hybridity, cultural agency, and strategies of acculturation have long been at the center of postcolonial studies, but as this volume demonstrates, these phenomena are not merely operative in encounters between colonizers and colonized: they are also fundamental to the early American reception and appropriation of German cultural materials.

Gender Equality
  • Dimensions of Women's Equal Citizenship

  • Citizenship is the common language for expressing aspirations to democratic and egalitarian ideals of inclusion, participation and civic membership. However, there continues to be a significant gap between formal commitments to gender equality and equal citizenship - in the laws and constitutions of many countries, as well as in international human rights documents - and the reality of women's lives. This volume presents a collection of original works that examine this persisting inequality through the lens of citizenship. Distinguished scholars in law, political science and women's studies investigate the many dimensions of women's equal citizenship, including constitutional citizenship, democratic citizenship, social citizenship, sexual and reproductive citizenship and global citizenship. Gender Equality takes stock of the progress toward - and remaining impediments to - securing equal citizenship for women, develops strategies for pursuing that goal and identifies new questions that will shape further inquiries.

  • Summary

    This book addresses a basic problem: a commitment to gender equality and to the equal citizenship of women and men features in the constitutional, statutory, and common law of many countries, as well as in international law and human rights instruments. Yet there remains a palpable and, in some cases, stark gap between formal commitments to the equal rights and responsibilities of men and women and against discrimination and subordination based on sex and the gendered realities of women's lives. Few would deny that women around the globe – and the societies in which they live – have made enormous progress toward the goals of gender equality and equal citizenship, but neither would most claim that those goals have been fully realized in life as well as in law. There continues to be ambivalence about and resistance to equality as well as legal, political, and social obstacles to attaining it.

    This book takes stock of the progress toward and remaining impediments to the goals of securing gender equality and the equal citizenship of women and men. It develops strategies for securing such goals and identifies new questions, theories, and perspectives to help shape further inquiries about both gender equality and equal citizenship. It brings together an interdisciplinary group of distinguished scholars in law, political science, and women's studies to investigate several dimensions of women's equal citizenship.

    Why use the language of equal citizenship to guide this inquiry about gender equality and the persistence of inequality?
