Alte und Neue Ordnung der Geschlechter Einerseits - so sagt der Neokonservatismus - sind Männer und Frauen völlig gleichgestellt: Chancengleichheit scheint erreicht. Auf der anderen Seite besagt der liberale Individualismus, dass die Unterschiede zwischen den Geschlechtern von enormer Bedeutung sind. Sind dies zwei Seiten einer Medaille? Die AutorInnen analysieren diesen Widerspruch aus pädagogischer Perspektive. Das "Jahrbuch Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung in der Erziehungswissenschaft" basiert auf einer wichtigen wissenschaftlichen und politischen Entwicklung. Die Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung in der Erziehungswissenschaft hat wesentlich dazu beigetragen, dass der Einfluss von Geschlecht und Geschlechterdifferenz nicht mehr ignoriert werden kann. Das Jahrbuch ist vor diesem Hintergrund konzipiert und stellt sich zwei zentralen Aufgaben: Es will erstens die Geschlechterforschung in der Erziehungswissenschaft kontinuierlich dokumentieren und zweitens ein innovatives Forum für wissenschaftliche Diskurse schaffen. Alle Beiträge werden nach dem internationalen Standard für Review-Zeitschriften begutachtet.

Africa has witnessed massive changes in the last fifty years – from independence through structural adjustment, rule by military juntas in several countries and to a period now where the focus is on how best to prioritize their needs based on resources, national goals and human potential. There is general agreement that human capital is important in economic growth and development. There is always the need to ensure that resources and human capital are used appropriately to advance development. Gender disparities, whether in treatment, access to resources, resource utilization and the law, may in themselves retard or slow down development. Resources and human potential in all societies include how best to ensure there is no gender disparity and to fully tap the resources inherent in women for personal, social and national development. Beginning with the women’s suffrage movement, there has been the push to encourage gender equality worldwide. The Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995 embodies the commitment of the international community to implement policies that will enhance the political, social, economic, educational empowerment of women. This book highlights the issues affecting women in Eastern and Southern Africa – what role does custom and patriarchy play in gender disparities in education, access to health, problems in the workplace and family relationships? How have women writers in the last twenty years presented the issues of patriarchy, women’s rights, globalism and women’s holistic development? What are recent developments that have helped improve the situation for some women? These are some of the issues that are covered in this book. The thesis of this book is that there have been policies and strategies developed that have worked to empower women. However, vestiges of sexism, gender disparities in several fields still remain and traditions/customs and patriarchy have aided in still keeping women down. <.

This volume gathers scholars who focus on gender through a variety of disciplines and approaches to Sikh Studies. The intersections of religion and gender are here explored, based on an understanding that both are socially constructed. Far from being static, as so often presented in world religions textbooks, religious traditions are constantly in flux, responding to historical, cultural and social contexts. So too is ‘the’ Sikh tradition in terms of practices, ideologies, rituals, and notions of identity. We here conclude that ‘a’ Sikh tradition does not exist; instead, there are numerous forms thereof. In this volume, Sikhism is presented as a collection of ‘Sikh traditions’. Gender studies—in line with women’s liberation, masculine and feminist studies have long examined and have long deconstructed the patriarchy, but also move to identify other subordinate-dominant relations between individuals. Indeed, there are numerous forms of discrimination and power structures that simultaneously create a multiplicity of oppression. Intersectionality has become the basis of an increasingly systematized production of contemporary discourses on feminism and gender analysis, as is evidenced by the varied contributions in this volume.
