From the Back Cover
This book examines transitions from law school to the legal profession, and their impact on wellbeing. There is a significant body of evidence that suggests law student wellbeing is particularly problematic, partially due to the distinctive nature of law as a discipline. Similarly, there is a growing body of international evidence demonstrating poor levels of wellbeing within the legal profession, with lawyers suffering higher levels of stress, anxiety and depression than the general population. To date there has been no detailed consideration of the impact of these transitions on wellbeing, or discussion of the best ways to ameliorate any negative effects. This edited collection will explore a range of transitions, from entry into law school through to progression to managerial roles within the legal profession. Rather than focusing on discrete areas or chunks of time, this book focuses on the process of transitioning holistically.
"What a thrill! Jones reads Irigaray in a manner that clearly explicates core dimensions of her thought while tackling fundamental questions of ontology, subjectivity, and ethical life. As a study of complex texts and issues, it is sophisticated and illuminating. As a contribution to ethical life, it is a gift."

-John Lysaker, William R. Kenan Professor of Philosophy, Emory University.

"Deftly handling Irigaray's past and recent texts, Emma Jones addresses problems ranging from global political apathy and political tribalism to the everydayness of disempowered living. She powerfully asks what it means to speak to one another, to think within the particularity of our shared space, and to be-together, as if our shared future depended upon it -- because it does."

-Alfred Frankowski, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Southern Illinois University. Author of The Post-Racial Limits of Memorialization: Toward a Political Sense of Mourning and co-editor of Critical Perspectives on African Genocide: Memory, Silence, and Anti-Black Political Violence.
"A pathbreaking account of Irigaray's relational ontology that transforms our understanding of Irigaray's place in contemporary feminist thought. Via original readings of Irigaray's recasting of Heidegger and Aristotle, Jones theorizes sexuate difference as relational limit and reconceptualizes subjectivity as place. Crucially, Jones shows how Irigaray's distinctive emphasis on relation rather than identity can afford an inclusive ethics that counters transphobic gender theories. An insightful, generative book, astutely attuned to the transformative potential of Irigaray's work.
-Rachel Jones, Associate Professor of Philosophy, George Mason University. Author of Irigaray: Towards a Sexuate Philosophy.
