Inhalt: En los últimos años han proliferado las acusaciones de acoso sexual en las instituciones de educación superior y la manera en que éstas han respondido ha sido muy variada. Algunas de dichas instituciones han tendido a la pasividad o el silenciamiento, bajo el principio de que las situaciones de violencia de género responden a hechos aislados que deben abordarse individualmente; en otros casos, se optó por dotar a las universidades de mecanismos formales que permitieran atender los casos. Sin embargo, movimientos como #MeTooAcadémicos sacaron a la luz la necesidad de encontrar vías alternativas para la denuncia de los casos de violencia sexual, porque los canales formales parecen no estar respondiendo a las necesidades de las víctimas. Este trabajo analiza los mecanismos institucionales que universidades públicas y privadas de México están empleando para prevenir y atender los casos de violencia de género, y con ello poner en evidencia los retos que enfrentan para lograr frenar este fenómeno.
Perceiving and Deflecting Everyday Poverty-Related Shame: Evidence from 35 Female Marriage Migrants in Rural China

Inhalt: This research examines how poverty is perceived and deflected by a group of female cross-provincial marriage migrants in contemporary rural China. It presents accounts of poverty-related shame in everyday village life. Known as migrant wives, respondents in this research have experienced both absolute and relative poverty over the course of their lives. The personal lament of insufficiency and the social discourse of poverty respectively underpin internal and external poverty-related shame. Correspondingly, migrant wives employ strategies of recounting misery and redefining identity to normalise their poverty and their stigmatised social image, hoping to mitigate the psychological and social impacts of shame. This research contributes an empirical analysis to our understanding about the origin, manifestation, and impact of povertyrelated shame, which is usually a neglected consideration in poverty studies. It also sheds light on the gender-specified risks, burdens, and social expectation that affect migrant wives’ perception and experience of poverty.

Inhalt: This editorial delivers an introduction to the Media and Communication thematic issue on "Communicating on/with Minorities" around the world. This thematic issue presents a multidisciplinary look at the field of communicating on and with different members of minority groups who, based on gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or a background in migration, experience relative disadvantage and marginalization compared to the dominant social group. The contributors to this thematic issue present a variety of professional contexts (i.e., portrayals in journalistic content, in fiction and non-fiction audiovisual content, on social media platforms and in health care). Taken together, the contributions examine various theoretical angles, thereby adopting new research directions through the use of quantitative, qualitative or mixed methodologies.

Inhalt: Interaktionen zwischen männlichen Geflüchteten und alteingesessenen Frauen werden seit den sexuellen Übergriffen in der Silvesternacht 2015 in Köln als problematisch gefasst. Hier wird ein Zugang zur geschlechterübergreifenden Interaktion gewählt, der von positiven Alltagskontakten ausgeht, nämlich der Interaktion zwischen Geflüchteten und ehrenamtlich für sie Engagierten. Leitfadengestützte Interviews mit 26 ehrenamtlich Engagierten werden in Anlehnung an die Grounded Theory analysiert. Die aus dieser Analyse heraus entwickelte Kernkategorie "Separierung der Geschlechter" verweist vor allem auf herkunftskulturelle Zuschreibungen und/oder Sozialisation, aber auch auf weiblich dominierte Unterstützungsnetzwerke und auf geschlechtertrennende Angebote für Geflüchtete. Diese Separierung der Geschlechter führt zu Unsicherheiten bei geschlechterübergreifenden Interaktionen, insbesondere beim Umgang mit Nähe und Distanz. Das Ansetzen von kultureller Differenz wird in der Literatur skeptisch betrachtet. Kritisiert werden ein homogenisierender, statischer und deterministischer Kulturbegriff sowie die Reproduktion und Verstärkung von Vorurteilen und Stereotypen. Dennoch, in der Rekonstruktion von Interaktionen durch die befragten Engagierten spielt kulturelle Differenz eine entscheidende Rolle.
Gendered practices in child protection: shifting mother accountability and father invisibility in situations of domestic violence

Inhalt: This article reports on an exploratory, qualitative, multiple-methods study that included individual interviews and a focus group with child protection services (CPS) workers in a large city in Alberta, Canada. The findings illuminate current CPS worker practices in situations of domestic violence where inclusion and exclusion decisions are made for service provision, and the ways in which documents reflect these day-to-day practices; how service user descriptions are constructed and reconstructed, the social problem of domestic violence conceptualized, and the ways in which professional development training encourages critical thinking about existing practices to create new solutions for families experiencing domestic violence. Thematic analysis reveals three themes about CPS workers' experience: 1) current practices reflect invisibility of men and accountability of women; 2) personal and professional shift in perspectives on who to work with, gender expectations, and how CPS are delivered; and 3) reflexive practice into potential intervention strategies and professional development training. The findings suggest specific recommendations for practice including the need to engage men in child welfare practice, shift perspective about service delivery with families experiencing domestic violence, and account for gender norms and practices in service delivery.

Inhalt: This study looks at the equality challenges and opportunities for women with disabilities in low and middle income countries (LMICs) to participate and succeed in education, employment and motherhood. It is based on a systematic review of the literature from academic and non-governmental organization databases. The search of these databases yielded 24 articles, which were subsequently passed through open, axial, and selective coding. The resulting review found that women with disabilities in LMICs have severe difficulty participating and succeeding in education, employment and motherhood due to a number of interrelated factors: (i) hampered access to education, employment, intimacy and marriage, (ii) stigma and cultural practices resulting in discrimination and prejudice, and (iii) lack of support from family, teachers and institutions - all of which are exacerbated by poverty. Support from families, communities, the government, and non-governmental organizations improves women’s ability to fulfil their social roles (as students, employees and mothers), resulting in a better quality of life. Strategies that create awareness, minimize poverty and facilitate justice may improve the opportunities for women with disabilities in LMICs to participate in education, employment and motherhood, as well as their ability to succeed in these domains.

Inhalt: In diesem Beitrag befasse ich mich mit methodologischen Fragen, die für Minderheitenangehörige entstehen, wenn sie Forschung unter einer "Insider-Outsider"-Perspektive betreiben. Rückgreifend auf Beispiele aus meiner Feldforschung veranschauliche ich, in welcher Weise Klassen- und Genderzugehörigkeit den Forschungs- und Auswertungsprozess beeinflusst haben. Ziel der Studie war es, gemeinsam mit den Teilnehmenden Wissen darüber zu generieren, wie Ungleichheit gelebt wird und infrage gestellt werden kann. Zugang und Rapport wurden durch meine eigene Herkunft aus der Arbeiterklasse erleichtert. Zugleich verhalf mir meine "Outsider"-Positionierung als Forschende und Akademikerin zu einer nuancenreichen Gestaltung der Forschungsbeziehungen. Darüber hinaus wurden mein Frau- und Muttersein wesentlich für die gemeinsame Auswertungsarbeit, woraus zusätzliches Wissen über den Zusammenhang von Klassenzugehörigkeit und Fürsorge erwuchs. Indem ich meine eigenen Positionierungen ins Zentrum stelle, können wichtige Fragen zum persönlichen, beruflichen und politischen Kontinuum für qualitative Forschung und genauer für die kollaborative Wissensproduktion in der partizipativen und Handlungsforschung behandelt werden.
Inhalt: In this article, I examine some of the methodological issues present for minority scholars when conducting research with an "insider-outsider" researcher status. Utilising examples from my fieldwork, I will expose how social class, care and gender identity along with positioning have impact on the research process and analysis. Based on a study that sought to collaboratively produce knowledge about how inequality is lived and challenged, I was able to gain access and build rapport with participants with my insider working class background. With my outsider positioning as a "researcher" and "academic", I encountered more nuanced relations in the research process, showing how one can also be an insider-outsider simultaneously. My additional identity and positioning as a woman and mother became influential factors to the collaborative analysis of the findings, from which I gathered new knowledge about the intersection of class and care. In placing my identity and positioning, in terms of class, care and gender, at the centre of this discussion of methodology, I raise important questions on a personal, professional and political continuum for qualitative research and the production of collaborative knowledge and action within the field of participatory research.

Inhalt: Qualitative Feldforschung mit Gangs ist von besonderen Herausforderungen wie Rivalitäten, territorialen Unzugänglichkeiten, Misstrauen oder ethischen und moralischen Bedenken geprägt. In diesem Artikel gehe ich insbesondere auf geschlechtsspezifische Herausforderungen ein, die mit der Erforschung von männerdominierten gesellschaftlichen Sphären einhergehen. Weiterhin diskutiere ich Vorteile und Gefährdungen, die ich als junge, weiße Forscherin im Umgang mit Gangs im karibischen Trinidad und Tobago erlebte. Entlang der von LEE (1995) entworfenen Konzepte der ambient und situational risks stelle ich die Risiken der Feldforschung mit Gangs dar und erläutere eine Technik, mit der Gruppen in Hochrisikobereichen in einer sukzessiven Annäherung in kurzer Zeit erreicht werden können.
Inhalt: Researching hard-to-reach populations which operate in spheres of illegality and violence is impacted by issues of rivalry, territorial inaccessibility, and distrust, as well as ethical and moral concerns. In this article I discuss the difficulties faced by female researchers carrying out fieldwork with gangs and focus on gender-based and race dynamics, which affect qualitative research in male-dominated spheres. Drawing on LEE's (1995) conceptualization of ambient and situational risks, I outline the risks related to conducting fieldwork with gangs in Trinidad and Tobago's violent outskirt areas. I furthermore stress the researcher's responsibility to survive fieldwork and draw on the privileges I enjoyed and the threats I faced as a young, white female. This study contributes to our understanding of how sampling techniques can successfully reach hard-to-reach populations in high-risk areas and within a limited time frame by introducing a refined sampling technique, the successive approach.

Incorporation of immigrants and second generations into the french labour market: changes between generations and the role of human capital and origins

Inhalt: This article analyses the labour market incorporation of migrants and second-generation minorities in France. Using the 2013-2017 French Labour Surveys and the 2014 adhoc module, we focus on labour market outcomes -activity, employment, occupation and subjective overqualification- and measure the gaps between ethnic minorities and the majority group by origins, generation and by gender. In order to elucidate the mechanisms behind these gaps and explain ethnic disadvantages for immigrants, we take into account different factors, such as education, and factors linked to migration -duration of stay in France, language skills, foreign qualifications, nationality- with additional controls for family, socioeconomic and contextual characteristics. We also investigate the returns to higher education among second-generation minority members compared to the majority population. We show large differences by country of origins, generation and gender. Across generations, most minority members have made clear progress in terms of access to employment and skilled jobs, but ethnic penalties remain for the descendants of North-Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and Turkey. In contrast, Asian second-generation men and women encounter slight advantages in attaining highly-skilled positions. Controlling for tertiary degrees even increases the gap with majority members mostly in access to highly-skills jobs.
