Gender equity in Commonwealth higher education
Quelle: Women's studies international forum, Vol. 28 (2005) No. 2-3, S. 209-221
Inhalt: 
"This article explores emerging themes from the literature on gender and higher education in low-income Commonwealth countries. It attempts to engage with a range of unpublished or 'grey' literature and to identify aspects of gender inequality that universally disturb and discomfort. The dominant literature in the field of gender and higher education is from the UK, USA, Northern Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Yet there is considerable gender equity activity also in low-income Commonwealth countries. But the nature of gendered change or obstacles to gender equality in higher education have not been systematically mapped across the Commonwealth and there has been an absence of multilateral dissemination. The article highlights how gender has been excluded as a category of analysis in writing on the changing political economy of higher education and the development of borderless provision."

Science, gender, and women's liberation : an argument against postmodernism
Quelle: Women's studies international forum, Vol. 21 (1998) No. 2, S. 133-146
Inhalt: "In much contemporary feminist discourse, the concepts of 'science' and 'gender' are
discredited as tools for analysing women's situation. Postmodernist debates criticise
the whole positivist enterprise that underlies 'the scientific method' and is reflected
in 'quantitative' and 'experimental' ways of knowing. Gender as a social construction
conceptually distinct from a 'biological' division into female and male has also been
called into question by postmodernist theories. This paper argues the desirability
of rehabilitating both the concepts of science and gender within a feminist discourse
committed to the practical liberation of women. Two current problems in women's health
care-cervical cancer screening and hormone replacement therapy-are examined as a case
study." (author's abstract)|
