Abstract

"Today, the majority of the world's population lives in a country with falling marriage rates, a phenomenon with profound impacts on women, gender, and sexuality. In this exceptionally crafted ethnography, Sarah Lamb probes the gendered trend of single living in India, examining what makes living outside marriage for women increasingly possible and yet incredibly challenging. Featuring the stories of never-married women as young as 35 and as old as 92, the book offers a remarkable portrait of a way of life experienced by women across class and caste divides, from urban professionals and rural day laborers, to those who identify as heterosexual and lesbian, to others who evaded marriage both by choice and by circumstance. For women in India, complex social-cultural and political-economic contexts are foundational to their lives and decisions, and evading marriage is often an unintended consequence of other pressing life priorities. Arguing that never-married women are able to illuminate their society's broader social-cultural values, Lamb offers a new and startling look at prevailing systems of gender, sexuality, kinship, freedom, and social belonging in India today"-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

"In discussions relating to their role during the Middle Ages, women are typically assumed to only have been “pawns in a political game dominated by men”, or to have primarily acted as intermediaries of power. In this book, however, the varying expressions of power are studied by changing the focus from a political and economic exercise of power controlled by men, to an approach based on interaction and communication between the sexes. In this volume, gender is instead interpreted as a total social phenomenon comprising all spheres of medieval society. This approach provides new opportunities to investigate how power operated on different levels within a societal structure. Thus, power is neither seen as emanating from a centre nor as dominated by only one sex. Instead, it is regarded as an all-embracing societal web, woven through threads of mutual dependence between men and women.In this book, scholars belonging to various disciplines, such as history, history of arts and literary history, discuss how cooperation between the sexes found expression in culture, judicial spheres and social organisation. The contributions do not only consider the Nordic countries, but also how gender constructions were affected by, and transformed through, the influence of contemporary cultural, juridical and ideological currents in Europe.

Abstract

Der Band knüpft an die queertheoretischen Infragestellungen der zweigeschlechtlichen Ordnung an. Im Kontext der Vielfältigkeit geschlechtlicher und sexueller Identitäten sind Prozesse von Bildung, Erziehung und Sozialisation im Spannungsfeld von Normalisierung und Widerständigkeit gegenüber heteronormativen Identifizierungen der Geschlechter zu denken. Wie findet sich die Wirklichkeit queerer Geschlechterverhältnisse in pädagogischer Theorie und Praxis wieder und wie sind gendersensible Bildungskonzepte so zu erweitern, dass sie die Veruneindeutigung von Geschlecht zulassen?

Abstract

EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) disciplines face a gender gap that has been exacerbated during COVID-19. Drawing on research carried out by the Women in Supramolecular Chemistry (WISC) network, this essential book sets out the extent to which women working in STEM face inequality and discrimination. The authors use approaches more commonly associated with social sciences, such as creative and reflective research methods, to shed light on the human experiences lying behind scientific research. They share fictional vignettes drawn from research findings to illustrate the challenges faced by women working in science today. Additionally, they show how this approach helps make sense of difficult personal experiences and to create a culture of change. Offering a path forward to inclusivity and diversity, this book is crucial reading for anyone working in STEM.

Abstract

Wie sollen pädagogische Fachkräfte in Kitas mitdem Thema Geschlecht umgehen? Vor der Folie von frühpädagogischen Geschlechterdebatten bietet diese Studie einen empirischen Einblick in Geschlechterkonstruktionen von Kindern, Fachkräften und Eltern im Alltag einer Kindertageseinrichtung. Des Weiteren werden theoretische und empirische Leerstellen einer frühpädagogischen Debatte um Geschlecht aufgezeigt, die entstehen, wenn diese lediglich vor der Folie von Geschlechtergerechtigkeit mit dem Ziel der Verbesserung von Chancengleichheit geführt wird. Die Studie gewährt viel mehr empirischen Einblick in die Geschlechterkonstruktionen von Fachkräften, Kindern  und Eltern. jugendhilfereport,  01.2017 Es ergeben sich diverse Anknüpfungspunkte für weitere Studien, um das beobachtete milieuspezifische Einzelsetting tiefergehend mit strukturellen Variablen zu kontextualisieren.
