Inhalt: Wie forderten Geschlechterdiskurse vor und nach 1989 die gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse heraus? Wie intervenierten Akteur*innen in machtvolle Ordnungen? Wie werden feministische Visionen in gegenwärtige Aktivismen aufgenommen? Der Band untersucht feministische, queere und künstlerische Widerstandspraxen sowie Mediendiskurse und Selbst- und Fremdzuschreibungen von DDR-Geschlechterbildern aus intersektionalen, postkolonialen und postsäkularen Perspektiven. Zudem wird die Entwicklung der Gender Studies in Osteuropa in den Blick genommen.
The Economics of Gender Equality in the Labour Market : Policies in Turkey and other Emerging Economies
Herausgeber/in:
Yenilmez, Meltem İnce; Kişla, Gül Ş. Huyugüzel
Quelle: Routledge, 2022.
Inhalt: This book evaluates the global labour market in the context of gender equality, and the associated policies and regulations, particularly in developing markets, to recommend measures for encouraging gender equality. It exposes the barriers that women employees encounter as well as some of the societal and workplace policies they, specifically, are subject to. Important themes within this topic include participation rates, the looming gap in hourly pay, availability of part-time and full-time positions, value, and social status associated with jobs held by men and women.
The book examines how global gender policy objectives, such as gender equality in careers, gender balance in decision-making, and gender dimensions in research, can be incorporated into policy frameworks. The book analyzes the gendered nature of assumptions, processes and theories. The juxtaposition between family and work, tradition and modernity, and dependency and autonomy, clearly still seems to be misunderstood. Therefore, the book asks whether work improves women’s positions in society and/or changes their roles in their families. The authors explore and uncover the connections among employment, entrepreneurship, migration economies, and gender global labour markets and provide helpful solutions to the perceptions surrounding women’s status, risks, and inequality that limit their economic participation.
This insightful read provides comprehensive details on a variety of themes and encourages further research on policies that are key to promoting gender equality. The book will appeal to postgraduate students and researchers of labour and feminist economics, the economics of gender, women’s studies and sociology.

Weibliche Genieentwürfe. Eine alternative Geschichte des schöpferischen Subjekts
Herausgeber/in:
Ventarola, Barbara; Köhne, Julia
Quelle: Königshausen & Neumann, 2022.
Inhalt: Ziel des Bandes ist es, Linien einer alternativen Geschichte des schöpferischen Subjekts aufzuzeigen, indem die bislang weitgehend vernachlässigten weiblichen Entwürfe von Genialität ins Zentrum gestellt werden. Ausgangspunkt ist die Beobachtung, dass Frauen schon sehr früh gegen ihren gut untersuchten Ausschluss aus der Genialität aufbegehrt und Alternativentwürfe entwickelt haben, die auf einen Einschluss des weiblichen Geschlechts, ja nicht selten auf eine Überbietung männlicher Geniekonzepte abzielen. Der Sammelband möchte erste Schritte zur Aufarbeitung dieser Parallelgeschichte des Geniekonzepts gehen. Wie können gängige Geschichten der Geniefigur umgeschrieben und korrigiert werden, wenn der Fokus speziell auf die Frage nach dem weiblichen Genie gelegt wird? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, werden unterschiedliche Inszenierungen weiblicher Genialität in den Blick genommen und in die bislang rekonstruierten Diskursgeschichten der Geniefigur sowie die jeweiligen soziopolitischen und epistemischen Kontexte eingebettet. Auf diese Weise werden bislang unbeachtete Einflusslinien und Entwicklungslogiken freigelegt.

Negotiating Gender Expertise in Environment and Development. Voices from Feminist Political Ecology
Herausgeber/in:
P. Resurrección, Bernadette; Elmhirst, Rebecca
Quelle: Routledge, 2022.
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.”
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.

Gender, Power and Higher Education in a Globalised World
Herausgeber/in:
O'Connor, Pat; White, Kate
Quelle: Cham: Springer International Publishing; Imprint Palgrave Macmillan (Springer eBook Collection), 2021, 1.0. 226 S
Inhalt: This book examines persistent gender inequality in higher education, and asks what is preventing change from occurring. The editors and contributors argue that organizational resistance to gender equality is the key explanation; reflected in the endorsement of discourses such as excellence, choice, distorted intersectionality, revitalized biological essentialism and gender neutrality. These discourses implicitly and explicitly depict the status quo as appropriate, reasonable and fair: ultimately impeding efforts and attempts to promote gender equality. Drawing on research from around the world, this book explores the limits and possibilities of challenging these harmful discourses, focusing on the state and universities themselves as levers for change. It stresses the importance of institutional transformation, the vital contribution of feminist activists and the importance of women’s deceptively ‘small victories’ in the academy
The volume is a must-read for anyone interested in fairness and justice around gender". Professor Patricia Yancey Martin, Florida State University, USA
