Inhalt: In order to reflect about methods that can generate social justice and democratization, this article emphasises on practical implementations, connected to gender conscious pedagogy. Gender conscious pedagogy aims at overcoming the myth of objectivity, and by questioning through teaching what is considered as common sense and "normal". This entails acting and reflecting on breakthroughs, for example about an understanding of how gender codes influence everyday instances as well as working life. The collected data is based on narratives from alumni students who were asked to memorise and reflect on their gender studies and particularly about how useful this type of knowledge is in connection with everyday and working life - as politician, lecturer, IT-manager, doctoral student etc. The aim of this article is to focus on how teachers support students to be gender confident and as a consequence of that, becoming gender actors outside the university, in working life. Some central questions are: how are gender issues represented and integrated in the different areas of studies; what can teachers do in order to generate equality in the classroom; in what way and how are students given possibilities of understanding, internalizing and discussing gender issues.

Vom Feminismus zum Genderkonzept : Mädchenarbeit im Wandel von Gesellschaft und Politik

Inhalt: "Mädchenarbeit wurde von feministischen Sozialarbeiterinnen in den 1970er-Jahren als Gegenkonzept zu einer patriarchalen Gesellschaft und einer Jugendwohlfahrt entwickelt, die Mädchen nur als Randgruppe betrachteten. Feministische Mädchenarbeit wollte Mädchen stärken und ihre individuellen und gesellschaftlichen Benachteiligungen bekämpfen. Ziel war nicht weniger als die Abschaffung patriarchaler Gesellschaftsstrukturen. 35 Jahre später hat sich Mädchenarbeit ihrer politischen Zuschreibungen als 'parteilich' und 'feministisch' weitgehend entledigt. Übrig geblieben ist eine Mädchenarbeit, die im Kontext von politischen Gleichstellungsstrategien wie Gender Mainstreaming und pädagogischen Konzepten von Gender ihren Platz neu finden muss. Fest steht: Der Feminismus ist nicht länger der gemeinsame Referenzrahmen der Mädchenarbeit. Fest steht aber auch: Der neue einende Referenzrahmen muss noch im Kontext von Genderdebatten und neuen politischen Gleichstellungsstrategien entwickelt werden." (Autorenreferat)

Die neue Geschlechter(un)ordnung : eine feministische Perspektive auf die Familie
Titelübersetzung:The new (dis)order of gender : family in a feminist perspective

Inhalt: "A major characteristic of the European family today is a new plurality of forms of private living with an increasing number of one-parent households as well as patchwork families, homosexual couples or intergenerational networks of reliable relationships. The growing number of private lifestyles is especially due to marriage's loss of significance, which is no longer a prerequisite for either sexual partnership or for parenthood. In feminist perspective these structural changes, the remarkable cultural change in gender relations and in family law are not to be lamented as family decay or loss of solidarity, since they also mean more freedom and equal rights of women and children. However, there are still deficits in family policies as regards the division of labour and care responsibilities. The contribution discusses the delays and contradictory consequences of German family policies and legal reforms in exemplary respects: the incessant problems of working mothers, the recent legal reform of maintenance for a spouse after divorce, and the legal recognition of registered homosexual couples. The feminist argument is that there is no Opposition between love and gender justice, on the contrary, that love even presupposes a practice of equal rights in all forms of private living."

The effect of priming gender roles on women's implicit gender beliefs and career aspirations

Inhalt: "The authors investigated the effect of priming gender roles on women's implicit gender stereotypes, implicit leadership self-concept, and interest in masculine and feminine careers. Women primed with traditional gender roles (e.g., a male surgeon and a female nurse) showed increased automatic gender stereotypes relative to controls; this effect mediated their reduced interest in masculine occupations. By contrast, exposure to nontraditional roles (e.g., a female surgeon and a male nurse) decreased women's leadership self-concept and lowered their interest in masculine occupations, suggesting that female vanguards (i.e., successful women in male-dominated careers) can provoke upward comparison threat, rather than inspire self-empowerment. Thus, priming either traditional or nontraditional gender roles can threaten progress toward gender equality, albeit through different mechanisms (stereotypes or self-concept, respectively)."
