Rhetorical Spaces
This text closes the gap between theory and practice by developing case-by-case analyses of knowing other people in situations where socio-political inequalities create patterns of knowledge, power and privilege. The forms of knowledge that are necessary to inform conceptions of care and empathy are examined. For instance, Code investigates how stereotyping violates the senses of self of the people being stereotyped. She reveals how gossip and story-telling can count as viable sources of knowledge and how testimony can be discounted and discredited in patterns of systematic incredulity. This collection of trenchant essays show how reconfiguring structures of cognitive authority and expertise are matters not just of individual responsibility, but integral to the reconstruction of communities and social orders where people can live well.

Encyclopedia of Feminist Theories
The "Encyclopedia of Feminist Theories" is an accessible, multidisciplinary insight into the complex field of feminist thought. The Encyclopedia contains over 500 authoritative entries commissioned from an international team of contributors and includes clear, concise and provocative explanations of key themes and ideas. Each entry contains cross references and a bibliographic guide to further reading; over 50 biographical entries provide readers with a sense of how the theories they encounter have developed out of the lives and situations of their authors. Areas covered include: traditional taxonomies of feminist theory (eg socialist thought); theoretical subdivisions (eg ecofeminism and feminist spirituality); discipline-specific issues (eg philosophy and anthropology); the conceptual apparatus of gender theory (eg biologism); methodologies (eg deconstruction and narrative theory); intersections (eg with racial theory, queer theory); and political issues (eg citizenship, reproductive rights).

Code
There's a common belief that cyberspace cannot be regulated-that it is, in its very essence, immune from the government's (or anyone else's) control. Code , first published in 2000, argues that this belief is wrong. It is not in the nature of cyberspace to be unregulable cyberspace has no nature." It only has code-the software and hardware that make cyberspace what it is. That code can create a place of freedom-as the original architecture of the Net did-or a place of oppressive control. Under the influence of commerce, cyberspace is becoming a highly regulable space, where behaviour is much more tightly controlled than in real space. But that's not inevitable either. We can-we must-choose what kind of cyberspace we want and what freedoms we will guarantee. These choices are all about architecture: about what kind of code will govern cyberspace, and who will control it. In this realm, code is the most significant form of law, and it is up to lawyers, policymakers, and especially citizens to decide what values that code embodies. Since its original publication, this seminal book has earned the status of a minor classic. This second edition, or Version 2.0, has been prepared through the author's wiki, a web site that allows readers to edit the text, making this the first reader-edited revision of a popular book.
