Details
Inhalt: This book casts a light on the daily struggles and achievements of ‘gender experts’ working in environment and development organisations, where they are charged with advancing gender equality and social equity and aligning this with visions of sustainable development. Developed through a series of conversations convened by the book’s editors with leading practitioners from research, advocacy and donor organisations, this text explores the ways gender professionals – specialists and experts, researchers, orga2nizational focal points – deal with personal, power-laden realities associated with navigating gender in everyday practice. In turn, wider questions of epistemology and hierarchies of situated knowledges are examined, where gender analysis is brought into fields defined as largely techno-scientific, positivist and managerialist. Drawing on insights from feminist political ecology and feminist science, technology and society studies, the authors and their collaborators reveal and reflect upon strategies that serve to mute epistemological boundaries and enable small changes to be carved out that on occasions open up promising and alternative pathways for an equitable future.”

Details
Inhalt: Pädagogik, Beratung, Wissenschaft – Themen wie Geschlecht, Sex und sexuelle Bildung werden in den verschiedene Professionen in ganz unterschiedlicher Weise behandelt. Dabei findet in den einzelnen Teilbereichen eine zunehmende Abgrenzung und Ausdifferenzierung statt. Der vorliegende Band sucht dagegen nach dem Austausch zwischen den Disziplinen in Praxis und Theorie. Er zeigt die Perspektiven unterschiedlicher professioneller Akteur*innen auf und regt zur Entwicklung interdisziplinärer Zugänge an, die neue Perspektiven auf den jeweiligen Arbeitsalltag ermöglichen.

Every 90 Seconds. Our Common Cause Ending Violence Against Women
Autor/in:
DePrince, Anne P.
Quelle: Oxford University Press, 2022.
Details
Inhalt: Awareness of violence against women has never been greater, yet rates of such violence persist at jaw-dropping levels. In Every 90 Seconds, Dr. Anne P. DePrince argues that to end violence against women, we must fundamentally redefine how we engage with the problem—starting by abandoning the idea that awareness is enough to cause change or that such acts are someone else’s problem. Instead, she argues that we must come to see that we share a common interest in ending violence against women, which diminishes individuals and communities. DePrince traces the links between violence against women and the most important public health and economic issues of our time, including healthcare, education, and legal system reform as well as gun control and immigration. Drawing on research from her own work as well as across disciplines, DePrince explains how violence against women directly and daily affects each of us. In a call to action, the author offers new ways to work together to restore and ensure dignity, fairness, opportunity, and safety for women, girls, and our communities. The book is organized around the connections between violence against women and challenges facing the United States in terms of healthcare (Chapter 1), gun violence (Chapter 2), education access and success (Chapter 3), immigration policy (Chapter 4), economic justice (Chapter 5), and legal system reform (Chapter 6).

Privat – öffentlich – politisch: Gesellschaftstheorien in feministischer Perspektive
Autor/in:
Burkart, Günter; Cichecki, Diana; Degele, Nina; Kahlert, Heike
Quelle: Springer VS, 2022.
Details
Inhalt: Dieser Band bringt ausgewählte Theorien – Gesellschaftstheorien und einflussreiche soziologische Zeitdiagnosen – in einen Dialog mit der feministischen Debatte zum Spannungsverhältnis von privat und öffentlich. Die Begrifflichkeiten öffentlich und privat sind ein eng mit den Geschlechterverhältnissen assoziiertes Ordnungsprinzip gesellschaftlicher Entwicklung und damit hochpolitisch. Der Fokus dieses Bandes liegt auf der Frage, welche Bedeutung dieser Unterscheidung heute noch zukommt – in einer Zeit, in der viel von Grenzauflösungen die Rede ist und damit oft auch eine Auflösung der beiden Sphären gemeint ist

Merit Sticks to Men: Gender Pay Gaps and (In)equality at UK Russell Group Universities

Inhalt: Academic studies of gender pay gaps within higher education institutions have consistently found pay differences. However, theory on how organisation-level factors contribute to pay gaps is underdeveloped. Using a framework of relational inequalities and advanced quantitative analysis, this paper makes a case that gender pay gaps are based on organisation-level interpretations and associated management practices to reward 'merit' that perpetuate inequalities
Payroll data of academic staff within two UK Russell Group universities (N = 1,998 and 1,789) with seeming best-practice formal pay systems are analysed to determine causes of gender pay gaps. We find marked similarities between universities. Most of the variability is attributed to factors of job segregation and human capital, however we also delineate a set of demographic characteristics that, when combined, are highly rewarded without explanation. Based on our analysis of the recognition of 'merit,' we extend theoretical explanations of gender pay gap causes to incorporate organisation-level practices.

Gender Differences in STEM Persistence after Graduation

Inhalt: Much attention is focused on finding ways to encourage females to study STEM in school and college but what actually happens once women complete a STEM degree? We use the UK Quarterly Labour Force Survey to trace out gender differences in STEM persistence over the career. We find a continuous process whereby women are more likely to exit STEM than men. Among holders of STEM undergraduate degrees, women are more likely to obtain a non- STEM master's degree. Then, after entering the labour market, there is a gradual outflow of females during the first 15 years post-graduation so that females are about 20 percentage points less likely to work in STEM compared to their male counterparts. Conditional on leaving STEM, we find that females are more likely to enter the education and health sectors while males are more likely to enter the more lucrative business sector and that this can partly explain the gender pay gap for STEM graduates. Overall, our results suggest that policies that aim to increase the proportion of females studying STEM in school and college may have less effect than expected due to the lower attachment of females to STEM after graduation. Such policies may need to be augmented with efforts to tackle the greater propensity of females to exit STEM throughout the career.

Patterns and Trends of Same-Sex Partner Choice in Germany

Inhalt: This paper analyses the age and educational homogamy of same-sex couples in Germany over a 20-year period from 1996 to 2015. Data of the Microcensus show that cohabiting same-sex couples are less likely to be homogamous than cohabiting different-sex couples, both in terms of age and education. For same-sex couples, gender matters, male same-sex couples being the most diverse. The analyses thus confirm previous results for other European countries. Hitherto, changes in the homogamy of same-sex couples over time had not been studied in Europe, mainly due to data constraints. However, major changes in the visibility and legal acceptance of same-sex couples suggest that their patterns of partner choice are becoming more similar to those of different-sex couples. Our analyses show that the age difference among female same-sex couples has indeed narrowed over time, converging with the age difference among different-sex couples. For male same-sex couples though, there is no clear trend. In terms of educational homogamy, contrary to our assumption, we find a clear decline among same-sex couples of both genders since the 2000s, making them even more dissimilar to different-sex couples.
