Lisa Wade

Vi lever lenger. Vi er friskere enn før. Likevel forlater mange arbeidslivet tidlig. Over halvparten av dagens 65-åringer jobber ikke. Presses seniorene ut – eller lokkes de av god pensjon? Gjennom forskning, statistikk og møter med mennesker viser Lisa Wade hvordan arbeidslivet er i ferd med å bli en eldrefri sone – samtidig som antall eldre i samfunnet øker. Hun utfordrer seniorpolitikken, løfter frem ledernes viktige rolle og avslører skjult alderisme. Hva skal til for at flere både kan og vil jobbe lenger? Hvordan skaper vi et arbeidsliv for lange karrierer?

The hookup is now part of college life. Yet the drunken encounter we always hear about tells only a fraction of the story. Rising above misinformation and moralizing, Lisa Wade offers the definitive account of this new sexual culture and demonstrates that the truth is both more heartening and more harrowing than we thought. Offering invaluable insights for parents, educators, and students, Wade situates hookup culture within the history of sexuality, the evolution of higher education, and the unfinished feminist revolution. Using new research, she maps out a punishing emotional landscape marked by unequal pleasures, competition for status, and sexual violence. She discovers that the most privileged students tend to like hookup culture the most, and she considers its effects on racial and sexual minorities, students who “opt out,” and those who participate ambivalently. Accessible and open-minded, compassionate and brutally honest, American Hookup explains where we are and how we got here, asking not “How do we go back?” but “Where do we go from here?”

In the Kingdom of God there are none that are forgotten. Lisa Wade's story is a living testimony of the keeping power of God that delivered her from a childhood of horror to a life of honor. Her life's story demonstrates that God can restore that which has been stolen and reward those who trust in Him.
