Several factors—structural, interpersonal and personal—play a role in the journeys that families undertake in 'making sense' of same-sex sexuality of a family member. The current study employs a qualitative exploratory method to document these familial processes and their complexities along with factors that influence these journeys. Twenty-two family members (parents and siblings) in the city of Mumbai (erstwhile Bombay), India having a gay/lesbian, child/sibling, were interviewed for the present study. Most of the existing research in India is focused on the gay or lesbian persons themselves and familial responses have received attention only through the experiences of the gay or lesbian person. The current study would thus start a dialogue on an area hitherto unexplored.

Using the framework of Feminist Science Studies, I explore the gendered nature of science and offer a suggestion to make it more contextualised and more located in its specific setting. This will be beneficial not only for those excluded from science education but also for the provision of a better science education itself.

We present here an approximate scheme to obtain the complex frequency-dependent local field correction, G (q, co). Using the equation of motion approach we develop here a methodology from which the results obtained by earlier workers, for density-density response function ...

With great determination and courage they set about revealing the many obstacles, humiliations and indignities these women face. They uncovered not only pain, invisibility and silence, but also the pleasures of bonding and the beauty of love.

A dielectric response approach to the dynamic image potential of a charged particle approaching a planar metal surface is formulated. A self-consistent scheme for calculating the instantaneous speed of the particle, and its image potential is also derived. It is shown ...
