Inhalt: "We have seen through many examples that data science and artificial intelligence can reinforce structural inequalities like sexism and racism. Data is power, and that power is distributed unequally. This book offers a vision for a feminist data science that can challenge power and work towards justice. This book takes a stand against a world that benefits some (including the authors, two white women) at the expense of others. It seeks to provide concrete steps for data scientists seeking to learn how feminism can help them work towards justice, and for feminists seeking to learn how their own work can carry over to the growing field of data science. It is addressed to professionals in all fields where data-driven decisions are being made, as well as to communities that want to better understand the data that surrounds them. It is written for everyone who seeks to better understand the charts and statistics that they encounter in their day-to-day lives, and for everyone who seeks to better communicate the significance of such charts and statistics to others. This is an example-driven book written with a broad audience of scholars, students, and practitioners in mind. It offers a way of thinking about data, both their uses and their limits, that is informed by direct experience, by a commitment to action, and by the ideas associated with intersectional feminist thought"--
Inhalt: Nicht erst seit dem Diskursereignis um die Kölner Silvesternacht findet im öffentlichen, medialen, politischen und wissenschaftlichen Raum eine affektbesetzte Auseinandersetzung mit Gefahren und Bedrohungen in der Migrationsgesellschaft statt. Dabei wird von einer vermeintlichen Rückständigkeit und Gefährlichkeit derjenigen ausgegangen, die als »Andere« gelten. In den Diskursen werden ihr Wesen und Körper fokussiert, sodass sich eine Grundlage für die zunehmende Legitimation ihrer Überwachung und Bestrafung ausbildet. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes diskutieren diese europäischen und »westlichen« Praktiken der geschlechterpolitischen Behauptung, Visualisierung und Hervorhebung migrantisierter Anderer und machen ihre Konsequenzen in unterschiedlichen Räumen deutlich.
Inhalt: "This book engages expansively with the concept of motherhood in academia, to offer insights into re-imagining a more responsive higher education. Written collaboratively as international, interdisciplinary and intergenerational collectives, the editors and contributors use various ways of understanding ‘motherhood’ to draw attention to – and disrupt – the masculine structures currently defining women’s lives and work in the academy. Shifting the focus from patriarchal understandings of academe, the narratives embrace and champion feminist and feminine scholarship. The book invites the reader to question what can be conceived when motherhood is imagined more expansively, through lenses traditionally silenced or made invisible. This pioneering volume will be of interest and value to feminist scholars, as well as those interested in disrupting patriarchal academic structures."

Herausgeber/in:
Thomas, Tanja; Wischermann, Ulla
Quelle: Bielefeld: transcript (Critical studies in media and communication, 19), 2020. 420 S
Inhalt: Welches Potenzial hat feministische Wissensproduktion für die kritische Medienforschung? In gegenwärtigen Medienkulturen sind die gesellschaftlich stets umkämpften Prozesse der Herstellung, Legitimierung, aber auch Transformation von Macht- und Herrschaftsverhältnissen unübersehbar mit medialen Repräsentationen, Technologien und Praktiken des Medienhandelns verwoben.
Der Band stellt wegweisende Beiträge feministischer Theoriebildung (u.a. von Adrienne Rich, bell hooks, Donna Haraway und Judith Butler) vor, die von ausgewiesenen Autor_innen in ihrer Bedeutung für eine gesellschaftstheoretisch fundierte Medienforschung gewürdigt werden.

Herausgeber/in:
Aavik, Kadri; Bland, Clarice; Hoegaerts, Josephine; Salminen, Janne
Quelle: Berlin, 2020. 279 S
Inhalt: This book focuses on the multiple and diverse masculinities 'at work'. Spanning both historical approaches to the rise of 'profession' as a marker of masculinity, and critical approaches to the current structures of management, employment and workplace hierarchy, the book questions what role masculinity plays in cultural understandings, affective experiences and mediatised representations of a professional 'career'.
Closing the Gender Pay Gap in Medicine : A Roadmap for Healthcare Organizations and the Women Physicians Who Work for Them
Herausgeber/in:

Inhalt: Women now represent over half of medical school matriculants, almost half of residents and fellows, and over a third of practicing physicians nationally. Despite considerable representation among the physician workforce, women are paid 75 cents on the dollar compared with their male counterparts after accounting for specialty, geography, time in practice, and average hours per week worked. This pay gap is significantly greater than the one reported for US women workers as a whole and has shown little improvement over time. While much has been written about the problem, a robust discussion about how to rectify the situation has been missing from the conversation.
Closing the Gender Pay Gap in Medicine is the first comprehensive assessment of how cultural expectations and compensation methodologies in medicine work together to perpetuate salary disparities between men and women physicians. Since the gender gap reflects a convergence of forces within our healthcare enterprises, achieving pay equity can be an overwhelming undertaking for institutions and their leaders. However, compensation is foremost a business endeavor. Therefore, a roadmap for operationalizing equity within the finance, human resources, and compliance structures of our organizations is critical to eliminating disparities. The roadmap described in this book breaks down the component parts of compensation methodology to reveal their unintentional impact on salary equity and lays out processes and procedures that support new approaches to generate fair and equitable outcomes. Additionally, the roadmap is anchored in change management principles that address institutional culture and provide momentum toward salary equity.
The book begins with a review of the evidence on the gender pay gap in medicine. The following chapter discusses how gender-based differences in performance assessments, specialty choice, domestic responsibilities, negotiation, professional resources, sponsorship, and clinical productivity accumulate across women’s careers in medicine and impact evaluation, promotion, and therefore compensation in the healthcare workplace. The next two chapters focus, respectively, on how compensation is determined - highlighting potential pitfalls for pay equity - and regulatory and legal considerations. Chapters 5 and 6 explore organizational infrastructure, salary data collection and analysis, and culture change strategies necessary to rectify compensation inequities. Chapter 7 offers a detailed account of one medical institution’s successful journey to achieve salary equity. The book’s final chapter emphasizes that closing the gender pay gap is at its essence a business endeavor and recommends that organizations assess progress and cost with the same attention, rigor, and regularity as afforded other operating expenses.
Closing the Gender Pay Gap in Medicine offers a detailed roadmap for healthcare organizations seeking to close the gender pay gap among their physician workforce. This first-of-its-kind book will assist institutions plan courses of action and identify potential pitfalls so they can be understood and mitigated. It will also prove a valuable resource for transformational leadership and systems-based change critical to attaining compensation equity.

Antifeminismen : ›Krisen‹-Diskurse mit gesellschaftsspaltendem Potential?
Herausgeber/in:
Henninger, Annette; Birsl, Ursula
Quelle: Bielefeld: transcript, 2020. 434 S
Inhalt: ›Krisen‹-Diskurse mit gesellschaftsspaltendem Potential? Hinter dem aktuellen Antifeminismus steht eine kleine, aber intensiv vernetzte Gruppe von Akteur*innen, die strategisch um Deutungshoheit kämpft. Ihr Einfluss jenseits des rechten und christlich-fundamentalistischen Spektrums ist jedoch gering – und Gegenmobilisierungen durchaus erfolgreich. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes legen erstmals vergleichende Analysen zum Antifeminismus in Deutschland vor. Untersucht werden dabei Mediendiskurse, Antifeminismus in der Wissenschaft, Mobilisierungen gegen die Reform sexueller Bildung an Schulen, rechte Kritiken an der »Ehe für alle«, Vorstellungen von Mutterschaft sowie Effekte der Projektion von Sexismus auf zugewanderte Muslime in Integrationskursen für Geflüchtete.

Inhalt: Familienverhältnisse werden immer komplexer. Was zunächst fast banal klingt, wird bei genauerem Hinsehen zu einer Herausforderung für familiale Praxen und Alltagsgestaltungen, aber auch für die Forschung, die sich dem Thema Familie widmet. Die Zunahme der Komplexität ist dabei eng verknüpft mit einem Wandel der Geschlechterverhältnisse. Caring Masculinities, Single Moms by Choice, Social Freezing und (queeres) Familienleben jenseits der heteronormativen Kleinfamilie sind nur einige Beispiele für ‚neue‘ oder ‚komplexe‘ familiale Praxen – oder zumindest können sie zu solchen beitragen. Sie alle zeigen, dass Familie nicht (mehr) als solche einfach ‚ist‘, sondern beständig hergestellt werden muss, um nicht von außen oder innen in Frage gestellt zu werden oder an der Organisation des Alltags zu scheitern. Was macht dann Familie zu Familie, wenn alles immer komplexer wird? Wie kommen Familien zusammen, wie gründen sie sich? Wie erleben die Familienmitglieder ihr Zusammensein als Familie? Diesen und anderen Fragen widmet sich der Band, der „komplexe Familienverhältnisse“ als die neue ‚Normalität‘ untersuchen und in den Mittelpunkt stellen möchte.
Engendering Transnational Transgressions : From the Intimate to the Global
Herausgeber/in:
Boris, Eileen; Dawson, Sandra Trudgen; Molony, Barbara
Quelle: London: Routledge (Women's and gender history), 2020. 296 S
Inhalt: Engendering Transnational Transgressions reclaims the transgressive side of feminist history, challenging hegemonic norms and the power of patriarchies. Through the lenses of intersectionality, gender analysis, and transnational feminist theory, it addresses the political in public and intimate spaces.
The book begins by highlighting the transgressive nature of feminist historiography. It then divides into two parts—Part I, Intimate Transgressions: Marriage and Sexuality, examines marriage and divorce as viewed through a transnational lens, and Part II, Global Transgressions: Networking for Justice and Peace, considers political and social violence as well as struggles for relief, redemption, and change by transnational networks of women. Chapters are archivally grounded and take a critical approach that underscores the local in the global and the significance of intersectional factors within the intimate. They bring into conversation literatures too often separated: history of feminisms and anti-war, anti-imperial/anti-fascist, and related movements, on the one hand, and studies of gender crossings, marriage reconstitution, and affect and subjectivities, on the other. In so doing, the book encourages the reader to rethink standard interpretations of rights, equality, and recognition.
This is the ideal volume for students and scholars of Women’s and Gender History and Women’s and Gender Studies, as well as International, Transnational, and Global History, History of Social Movements, and related specialized topics.
Feminist framing of Europeanisation : Gender equality policies in Turkey and the EU
Herausgeber/in:
Süleymanoǧlu-Kürüm, Rahime; Cin, F. Melis
Quelle: Cham, Switzerland: Palgrave Macmillan (Gender and Politics), 2020. 288 S
Inhalt: This book explores the Europeanisation of gender policies and addresses some of the challenges of the debates surrounding the EU's impact on domestic politics. Using Turkey as a case study, it illustrates that Europeanisation needs a feminist agenda and perspective. The first part of the book critically engages with the literature on Europeanisation, the EU's gender policies and gender policymaking, and the interaction between Europeanisation and gender policies to argue that the Europeanisation framework falls short in devising sustainable gender policies due to a lack of feminist rationale and theory.
