Download or read book Where the Millennials Will Take Us written by Barbara J. Risman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are today's young adults gender rebels or returning to tradition? In Where the Millennials Will Take Us, Barbara J. Risman reveals the diverse strategies youth use to negotiate the ongoing gender revolution. Using her theory of gender as a social structure, Risman analyzes life history interviews with a diverse set of Millennials to probe how they understand gender and how they might change it. Some are true believers that men and women are essentially different and should be so. Others are innovators, defying stereotypes and rejecting sexist ideologies and organizational practices. Perhaps new to this generation are gender rebels who reject sex categories, often refusing to present their bodies within them and sometimes claiming genderqueer identities. And finally, many youths today are simply confused by all the changes swirling around them. As a new generation contends with unsettled gender norms and expectations, Risman reminds us that gender is much more than an identity; it also shapes expectations in everyday life, and structures the organization of workplaces, politics, and, ideology. To pursue change only in individual lives, Risman argues, risks the opportunity to eradicate both gender inequality and gender as a primary category that organizes social life.
Download or read book II Congreso internacional sobre masculinidades e igualdad Educaci n para la igualdad y co educaci n written by Jorge Cascales Ribera and published by Universidad Miguel Hernández. This book was released on 2023-02-06 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La gran multiplicidad de relaciones que emergen y se establecen a través de los estudios de género, las masculinidades y la coeducación nos enfrentan a un importante reto: conectar analítica, crítica y propositivamente estas tres grandes temáticas. Con este reto en nuestras mentes os presentamos este libro. Un libro pensado para reflexionar, aprender y compartir los saberes que nos han dejado un gran número de compañeras y compañeros. Un libro en el cual encontraréis una amplia variedad de estudios, investigaciones, actividades y propuestas de acción que esperamos os ayudaren a reflexionar, conocer y profundizar en el importante trabajo que se está desarrollando alrededor de la igualdad, las masculinidades y la coeducación. Así pues, este texto es el resultado de las intervenciones seleccionadas y presentadas en las distintas mesas científicas durante el II CONGRESO INTERNACIONAL SOBRE MASCULINIDADES E IGUALDAD: EDUCACIÓN PARA LA IGUALDAD Y CO(EDUCACIÓN) (CIMASCIGUAL II), realizado entre los días 20 y 22 de octubre de 2022, y organizado por el Observatorio de las Masculinidades y el Grupo de Investigación Economía, Cultura y Género (ECULGE), con la colaboración de la Unidad de Igualdad y el Centro Interdisciplinar de Estudios de Género de la Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche (UMH) y el Ayuntamiento de Elche. La importancia de adentrarse en los estudios de masculinidades nos sitúa tras una esfera social que hace referencia a la mitad de la población. Una cuestión numérica que hace evidente la importancia de seguir profundizando en los efectos que se generan desde la producción de las jerarquías sociales que se encarnan, en muchos sentidos, por ser hombres, por el mero hecho de poseer una posición social privilegiada. El reto de conectar esta realidad con el mundo de la educación adentra a los autores y autoras a discurrir por temáticas que conectan con el abordaje de las masculinidades desde la acción socioeducativa, con el aprendizaje y la transmisión de la masculinidad, las prácticas y realidades masculinas desde una mirada interseccional e inclusiva, la importancia de educar para la corresponsabilidad y el cuidado, el repensar las representaciones culturales de la masculinidad, así como, el fomento del activismo de los hombres igualitarios, los proyectos de intervención social con hombres y los nuevos enfoques educativos que inciden en las masculinidades desde múltiples ámbitos. En este sentido, en todas las comunicaciones presentadas se hace plausible la firme voluntad de autores y autoras por explorar, desde múltiples perspectivas, tanto desde las masculinidades, la educación, la diversidad, la atención social, los medios de comunicación o el activismo una temática polifacética, como es y debe ser, el debate científico alrededor de las relaciones de género. Tras esta premisa, el II CONGRESO INTERNACIONAL SOBRE MASCULINIDADES E IGUALDAD: EDUCACIÓN PARA LA IGUALDAD Y CO(EDUCACIÓN) O CIMASCIGUAL II ha tenido el propósito de darle continuidad al trabajo que se empezó en abril del 2019, cuando desde el Observatorio de las Masculinidades y el Grupo de Investigación Economía, Cultura y Género (ECULGE) de la Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche (UMH) y el Ayuntamiento de Elche se lanzó el I CONGRESO INTERNACIONAL SOBRE MASCULINIDADES E IGUALDAD. Esta vez, ya en 2022 y tras una pandemia de por medio, desde el Observatorio de las Masculinidades hemos apostado por la celebración de un evento de forma mixta (online y presencial) con la finalidad de llegar a las redes que hemos ido tejiendo a lo largo de estos años, las cuales han atravesado continentes. Han sido años duros y de mucho trabajo donde, hoy por hoy, podemos hablar de la existencia de una familia académica que ha ido creciendo en cada investigación, en cada publicación, en cada formación o actividad que hemos venido desarrollando. Familia compuesta por el alumnado y el profesorado de las tres ediciones del título de postgrado de Especialista en Masculinidades, Género e Igualdad (UMH), por las personas que participan en los ciclos seminarios conversatorios y por los tantos contactos que hay detrás del trabajo de difusión, consultoría e investigación que realizamos, sumándose cada vez más compañeros y compañeras que se interesan y se sienten parte de lo que hacemos desde el Observatorio de las Masculinidades entendido como una herramienta para analizar desde la academia las masculinidades y los hombres desde una mirada feminista que camine hacia una igualdad real. De este modo, este II Congreso era la forma de conectar este recorrido que se ha venido tejiendo y articulando durante los últimos años. Y en este sentido, del 20 al 22 de octubre tanto presencial como virtualmente, nos hemos reunido de nuevo en la ciudad de Elche (Alicante, España) para seguir debatiendo sobre aquello que entendemos por masculinidades y su papel en el camino hacia la igualdad entre mujeres y hombres. Para ello, el propósito prioritario en esta ocasión (en el que han colaborado numerosas universidades españolas y extranjeras, empresas y fundaciones, ONG, ayuntamientos y mancomunidades, asociaciones de mujeres y de hombres igualitarios, diversos másteres y doctorados de estudios de género, etc.) ha sido dirigir nuestra mirada hacia la educación en su sentido más amplio, hacia el papel que están teniendo las formas de construir las masculinidades en la educación de los niños, adolescentes, jóvenes y hombres adultos, tras la búsqueda de propuestas y trabajos que nos arrojen un poco más de luz en esta temática. Y en este sentido, el texto que ahora os presentamos es el resultado de este encuentro, de este seguir tejiendo saberes de forma activa pro-activa tras la finalidad de no perder el horizonte al que llegar: una igualdad real entre mujeres y hombres.

Download or read book Abortion and Democracy written by Barbara Sutton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abortion and Democracy offers critical analyses of abortion politics in Latin America’s Southern Cone, with lessons and insights of wider significance. Drawing on the region’s recent history of military dictatorship and democratic transition, this edited volume explores how abortion rights demands fit with current democratic agendas. With a focus on Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, the book’s contributors delve into the complex reality of abortion through the examination of the discourses, strategies, successes, and challenges of abortion rights movements. Assembling a multiplicity of voices and experiences, the contributions illuminate key dimensions of abortion rights struggles: health aspects, litigation efforts, legislative debates, party politics, digital strategies, grassroots mobilization, coalition-building, affective and artistic components, and movement-countermovement dynamics. The book takes an approach that is sensitive to social inequalities and to the transnational aspects of abortion rights struggles in each country. It bridges different scales of analysis, from abortion experiences at the micro level of the clinic or the home to the macro sociopolitical and cultural forces that shape individual lives. This is an important intervention suitable for students and scholars of abortion politics, democracy in Latin America, gender and sexuality, and women’s rights.
Download or read book Psychopathology in Women written by Margarita Sáenz-Herrero and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender has a fundamental influence on the human brain, not only by virtue of biological and hormonal differences between the sexes but also because of the impact of gender-specific cultural, social, anthropological and environmental factors. Nevertheless, the relation of gender and psychopathology remains a largely neglected field. Gender perspective has been treated as a paradigm in this book on psychopathology because it determines the way in which a psychiatric symptom is defined, perceived and understood. This conception of gender as being of key importance in the definition of psychiatric symptomatology is exceptional in the literature. The book opens by examining historical and cultural aspects of mental health in women worldwide and the relation of sex, brain and gender, with coverage of both neurobiological and psychosocial aspects. The significance of gender with regard to specific aspects of psychopathology is then addressed in detail. A wide range of psychological disorders are considered, as well as hormonal influences and issues concerning body image, self identity, sexuality and life instinct. It is hoped that this book will make a significant contribution in ensuring that gender perspective receives due attention within descriptive psychopathology.

Download or read book Assessing the Left Turn in Ecuador written by Francisco Sánchez and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the “left turn” in Latin American politics, specifically through the lens of Ecuador and the effects of the Citizens’ Revolution’s actions and public policies on relevant actors and institutions. Through a comprehensive analysis of one country’s turn to the left and the outcomes generated by that process, the authors and editors provide a clearer understanding of the ways in which the popular desire for change (predominant through the region in recent times, as a response to late-twentieth-century neoliberalism) was realized—or not. The particular case of Ecuador further potentiates analysis of the entire region-wide process, considering that the “corrector” cycle is now at an end, and that the economic and international conditions that favored the return of left governments have also changed.

Book excerpt: Diana E. H. Russell, acclaimed author and researcher on sexual violence against girls and women, and co-editor Roberta Harmes have produced a groundbreaking volume on femicide, the killing of females by males because they are female. Dr. Russell has contributed seven provocative original chapters to Femicide in Global Perspective. This anthology includes chapters on woman-killing in Algeria, Australia, Canada, China, Israel, South Africa, other Southern African countries, the United States, and brief testimony from other nations. Together, the authors brilliantly demonstrate how naming femicide helps to expose and bring attention to this most extreme yet neglected form of violence against women, and the urgent need to put femicide on local, national and international action agendas.

Download or read book Motherhood Social Policies and Women s Activism in Latin America written by Alejandra Ramm and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a critical resource for understanding the relationship between gender, social policy and women’s activism in Latin America, with specific reference to Chile. Latin America’s mother-centered kinship system makes it an ideal field in which to study motherhood and maternalism—the ways in which motherhood becomes a public policy issue. As maternalism embraces and enhances gender differences, it has been criticized for deepening gender inequalities. Yet invoking motherhood continues to offer an effective strategy for advancing women’s living conditions and rights, and for women themselves to be present in the public sphere. In analyzing these important relationships, the contributors to this volume discuss maternal health, sexual and reproductive rights, labor programs, paid employment, women miners’ unionization, housing policies, environmental suffering, and LGBTQ intimate partner violence.
Download or read book Can Neighbourhoods Save the City written by Frank Moulaert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-07-12 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, neighbourhoods been pivotal sites of social, economic and political exclusion processes, and civil society initiatives, attempting bottom-up strategies of re-development and regeneration. In many cases these efforts resulted in the creation of socially innovative organizations, seeking to satisfy the basic human needs of deprived population groups, to increase their political capabilities and to improve social interaction both internally and between the local communities, the wider urban society and political world. SINGOCOM - Social INnovation GOvernance and COMmunity building – is the acronym of the EU-funded project on which this book is based. Sixteen case studies of socially-innovative initiatives at the neighbourhood level were carried out in nine European cities, of which ten are analysed in depth and presented here. The book compares these efforts and their results, and shows how grass-roots initiatives, alternative local movements and self-organizing urban collectives are reshaping the urban scene in dynamic, creative, innovative and empowering ways. It argues that such grass-roots initiatives are vital for generating a socially cohesive urban condition that exists alongside the official state-organized forms of urban governance. The book is thus a major contribution to socio-political literature, as it seeks to overcome the duality between community-development studies and strategies, and the solidarity-based making of a diverse society based upon the recognising and maintaining of citizenship rights. It will be of particular interest to both students and researchers in the fields of urban studies, social geography and political science.

Download or read book The Good Mother Myth written by Avital Norman Nathman and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2013-12-31 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of mommy blogs, Pinterest, and Facebook, The Good Mother Myth dismantles the social media-fed notion of what it means to be a "good mother." This collection of essays takes a realistic look at motherhood and provides a platform for real voices and raw stories, each adding to the narrative of motherhood we don't tend to see in the headlines or on the news. From tales of mind-bending, panic-inducing overwhelm to a reflection on using weed instead of wine to deal with the terrible twos, the honesty of the essays creates a community of mothers who refuse to feel like they're in competition with others, or with the notion of the ideal mom—they're just trying to find a way to make it work. With a foreword by Christy Turlington Burns and a contributor list that includes Jessica Valenti, Sharon Lerner, Soraya Chemaly, Amber Dusick and many more, this remarkable collection seeks to debunk the myth and offer some honesty about what it means to be a mother.
