Abstract

Ökosoziale Transformation ist in aller Munde, aber wie können Praktiker*innen im sozialen Bereich dazu beitragen, und zwar auf eine gerechte und inklusive Weise? Die in diesem Sammelband vorgestellten Beiträge legen nahe, dass Räume, Praktiken und Didaktiken der Transformation dekolonisiert werden müssen, um den gegenwärtigen Status quo in Richtung einer gerechten und regenerativen planetarischen Zukunft zu verändern. Dieser Sammelband stellt Stimmen aus der Praxis vor, die bereits in der Praxis dekolonisierende Transformationsarbeit leisten. Wir bringen Praktiker*innen zusammen, die die Vielfalt sozialer Positionierungen als Schwarze, People of Color, Migrant*innen, queer, aber auch weiß oder cishet widerspiegeln. Gemeinsam präsentieren sie eine Vielzahl globaler Stimmen und Ansichten darüber, wie dekolonisierende Ansätze zur ökosozialen Transformation in einem vielfältigen Europa heute aussehen. Ökosoziale Transformation ist in aller Munde, aber wie können Praktiker*innen im sozialen Bereich auf eine gerechte und inklusive Weise dazu beitragen? Die in diesem Sammelband vorgestellten Beiträge legen nahe, dass Räume, Praktiken und Didaktiken der Transformation dekolonisiert werden müssen, um den gegenwärtigen Status quo in Richtung einer gerechten und regenerativen planetarischen Zukunft zu verändern. Die hier versammelten Stimmen aus der Praxis zeigen, zeigen, dass dies möglich ist und leisten bereits jetzt in der Praxis dekolonisierende Transformationsarbeit. Wir bringen Praktiker*innen zusammen, die das vielfältige Spektrum sozialer Positionierungen widerspiegeln: - Schwarze, People of Color, Migrant*innen und weiß, queer und cisgender, älter und jünger, bildungsprivilegiert und von Klassismus betroffen. Gemeinsam präsentieren sie eine Vielzahl globaler Stimmen und Ansichten darüber, wie dekolonisierende Ansätze zur ökosozialen Transformation in einem vielfältigen Europa heute aussehen. Die Autor*innen dieses Buches laden deshalb auf eine Reise ein zu Zugängen und Praktiken, die die Grundlagen schaffen, um innere und äußere Transformation für eine gerechte Welt zu ermöglichen. Der Sammelband richtet sich an Praktiker*innen, Fachkräfte und Studierende im sozialen und pädagogischen Bereich und an Menschen in Deutschland, die sich selbst als migrantisch, BIPoC, FLINTA* oder queer positionieren und ihre Verbündeten sind, um gemeinsam antirassistische, diversitätskritische und post-humanistische Zugänge in den Praktiken der ökosozialen Transformation Realität werden zu lassen.

Abstract

What is the state of gender equality in science and technology? Gender Equality in Academia - from Knowledge to Change presents the results of a comprehensive research project and program of initiatives at the University of Oslo's Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Researchers have examined gender equality within the department, looking at reasons for imbalance, and at what occurs when measures to promote equality are implemented. The book opens with an in-depth study of careers, gender issues and gender balance within academia. The study, based on questionnaires, interviews and follow-up evaluation, provides a new and updated understanding of the daily lives of academics in Norway. Among the topics covered are perceptions of equality and gender balance, effects of male dominance, sexual harassment, gender with respect to publishing, and the relationship between gender and diversity. In addition to presenting new empirical data, the book is also an innovative contribution to theoretical development within gender equality research. In the second part of the book, the authors present three working models that elucidate current mechanisms recreating gender imbalance, and challenges for gender equality. The book's final part consists of analyses of measures taken to increase gender equality within the department and their effects, and what an organization can do to increase gender equality. The range of topics in this book make it relevant for everyone concerned with gender equality in research and higher education. Researchers, administrators, students, other practitioners, and politicians will all find this book of interest.

Abstract

In addition to holding nearly one-quarter of the world's legal captives, the United States puts them to work. Close to two-thirds of those held in state prisons hold some sort of job within their institution. For them, prison is not only a place of punishment, but a workplace as well. Yet very little is known about work behind bars. To illuminate the "black box" of modern prison labor, Michael Gibson-Light conducted eighteen months of ethnographic observations and over eighty interviews with currently incarcerated men and staff members within one of America's many medium-security prisons. This book pulls together these accounts to paint a picture of daily labors on the inside, showing that not all prison jobs are the same, nor are all imprisoned workers treated equally. While some find value and purpose in higher-paying, more desirable jobs, others struggle against monotony and hardship in lower-paying, deskilled worksites. The result is a stratified prison employment system in which race, ethnicity, nationality, and social class help determine one's position, which shapes their experiences of incarceration and often their ability to prepare for release. Through insightful first-hand perspectives and rich ethnographic detail, Orange-Collar Labor takes the reader inside the prison workplace, illustrating the formal prison economy and labor system alongside the informal black market on which many rely to survive. Highlighting moments of struggle and suffering, as well as hard work, cooperation, resistance, and dignity in harsh environments, it documents the lives of America's working prisoners and the inequalities they face.

Abstract

Attraverso l'adozione del Piano di uguaglianza di genere, l'Università degli Studi di Cagliari si propone quale agente strategico di promozione del principio fondativo europeo della parità di genere, nella sua duplice veste di luogo di socializzazione volto al contrasto delle disuguaglianze e all'applicazione dei principi di equità della cittadinanza sostanziale, e di organizzazione lavorativa caratterizzata da diversità varie che possono tradursi in rischio di disuguaglianze nella distribuzione delle posizioni e nella progressione lungo i percorsi professionali. Il modo in cui la conoscenza scientifica viene generata, infatti, non è disgiunto dal sistema strutturale globale, che riproduce disuguaglianze di genere all'interno delle organizzazioni di ricerca. Un'attività di ricerca non libera da stereotipi di genere può alimentare discriminazioni e limitare le pari opportunità all'interno delle organizzazioni stesse. Il settore della ricerca e dell'istruzione universitaria e postuniversitaria ha una missione formativa peculiare, che rende necessarie azioni specifiche volte a superare i divari di genere. I Piani per l'uguaglianza di genere si inseriscono in questa ottica come strumenti chiave per generare cambiamenti strutturali nelle organizzazioni formative e conseguire il superamento dei divari tra uomini e donne. Il Piano di uguaglianza di genere di UNICA è stato sviluppato nell'ambito del progetto Horizon 2020 SUPERA. Through the adoption of the Gender Equality Plan, the University of Cagliari proposes itself as a strategic agent for the promotion of the European founding principle of gender equality, in its dual capacity as a place of socialization aimed at combating inequalities and applying the equity principles of substantive citizenship, and as a work organization characterized by diversities that can translate into the risk of inequalities in the distribution of positions and progression along professional paths. Indeed, the way scientific knowledge is generated is not disconnected from the overall structural system, which reproduces gender inequalities within research organizations. Research activity that is not free of gender stereotypes can fuel discrimination and limit equal opportunity within the organizations themselves. The undergraduate and postgraduate research and education sector has a distinctive educational mission, necessitating specific actions to overcome gender gaps. Gender Equality Plans fit into this view as key tools for generating structural changes in educational organizations and achieving the bridging of gender gaps. UNICA's Gender Equality Plan was developed under the Horizon 2020 project SUPERA.

Abstract

La question des inégalités (de classe, de statut économique, de genre, ethno raciales...), définies comme une différence d'accès à des biens sociaux jugée injustifiée, est au cœur de la sociologie.Ce manuel a pour ambition de proposer le bilan le plus complet possible des travaux et connaissances sociologiques sur le sujet, et d'ouvrir des pistes de réflexion sur le domaine : quelle est la genèse de la notion d'inégalité ? Pourquoi les inégalités se transmettent-elles et se reproduisent-elles ? Quels sont les rôles respectifs de la famille, du système éducatif, des pouvoirs publics ? Comment et dans quelle mesure l'État parvient-il à corriger les inégalités de départ entre les groupes sociaux ?L'ouvrage est illustré par de nombreux exemples internationaux et des figures originales.Des compléments sont disponibles dans la rubrique "ressources numériques". Ils permettent d'approfondir certains concepts présentés dans l'ouvrage et proposent plus de 500 références en grande partie internationales.
