Top Research Papers on Gender Studies

In this article, the author argues that a decolonial perspective on gender means conceptualizing it as always already trans. The object of investigation is gender as a category and gender studies as a field of knowledge. To discuss what decolonizing trans/gender studies in Europe could mean, the author aims to bring different strands together that have been held apart so far: resistance against global attacks on gender studies, resistance against transphobic feminism, and the “decolonising the curriculum” movement in the United Kingdom. A critical focus on Eurocentric knowledge and truth cla...

Territoriale Grenzen und Geschlechtergrenzen sind zunächst weitgehend getrennt voneinander erforscht worden. Standen in den Border Studies Staatsgrenzen im Mittelpunkt, befasste sich die Geschlechterforschung mit begrenzenden sozialen Rollenzuweisungen. Die Infragestellung binärer Oppositionen durch postmoderne wie postkoloniale Theorien ließ biologisch fundierte Geschlechtergrenzen wanken und machte Figuren des Dritten Raums , der Differenz bzw. der Mestiza Platz. Als sich damit auch der Begriff von Grenze in den Border Studies weg vom territorialen Paradigma den abstrakteren Dimensionen symb...

Evaluated gender detection tools that allow the uploading of files containing first names, are usable by researchers without advanced computer skills, and are at least partially free of charge found Gender API and NamSor were the most accurate tools.

Several gender‐based differences exist or are perceived to exist among interventional cardiologists in Italian Cath‐Labs and joint strategies addressing Cath‐Lab abstention and radiation exposure education should be developed to promote gender equity in interventionalCardiologists.

The author considers and critiques the affirmative model of care for gender dysphoric youth in light of this case of a young woman who pursued a gender transition and returned to identifying as female after almost two years on testosterone.

This paper uses text analysis to measure gender bias in cities through the use of street names. Focusing on the case of Spain, we collect data on 15 million street names to analyze gender inequality in urban toponyms. We calculate for each Spanish municipality and each year from 2001 to 2020 a variable measuring the percentage of streets with female names over the total number of streets with male and female names. Our results reveal a strong gender imbalance in Spanish cities: the percentage of streets named after women is only 12% in 2020. We also observe substantial intra-urban differences,...

The challenges that I faced in following feminist and queer approaches to gender while conducting fieldwork on the gendered norms and values produced through undergraduate computer science education in Singapore are discussed.

According to female perspective the male mentality about them in culture, is the mentality based on narcissism, which is a social reality.  On this basis, we can also study languages that, according to women perspective or feminist theory, retain their gender and differentiate between word meanings and grammatical rules based on gender.  In these languages, there used to be Avestian and Persian, which now leaves behind gender in the language. now it is Pashto, which still retains gender and differentiates linguistic rules and trends based on gender.  In Pashto, gender is dominated by two areas...

The purpose of this study is to examine gender differences in entrepreneurial competencies and self-efficacy among middle school students in an entrepreneurship program. Research shows entrepreneurship is perceived as a male domain, yet girls exhibit strengths in skills like collaboration, creativity, and practical planning that predict entrepreneurial success. However, lower self-efficacy among girls undermines entrepreneurial interest despite proficiencies. Assessing multidimensional competencies beyond narrow metrics reveals overlooked potential in girls. This study evaluates teamwork, inno...

Established in 2020, the Kurdish Gender Studies Network (KGSN) is an online epistemic community that brings together activists and scholars dedicated to advancing knowledge in Kurdish gender and sexuality studies. This paper aims to introduce the network to a larger public while situating the formation of the KGSN in relation to the growth of Kurdish gender studies (KGS), and the increasing influence of women and queer scholars in Kurdish studies (KS) since 2010. It highlights that both KGSN and KS have been greatly influenced by the conditions shaped by the colonial legacy surrounding Kurdi...

“Doing Gender,” Candance West and Don Zimmerman’s famous 1987 article, has become a folk concept—a trope or commonsense resource within the sociology of gender. Yet at the same time, most gender scholars overlook its ethnomethodological premise, visible in both poststructuralist misunderstandings of its argument outside the discipline of sociology and what I term a realist misunderstanding of it in the study of structures and identities within the discipline. Reading West and Zimmerman queerly while clarifying ethnomethodology’s ontology, I refocus attention for critical scholarship on ethnome...

The purpose of this study is to explore the gender distribution of researchers in the field of gender studies. We used bibliometrics methods on a dataset of gender studies from Web of Science between 2007 and 2019. The results show that unlike other fields in scientific communities, gender studies are dominated by female researchers. The majorities of gender study communities come from North America and Europe, which are both dominated by female researchers.

This study develops and evaluates several Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) classifiers that automatically detect gender reviews (i.e., reviews that contain discussions about gender), and qualitative analysis of a randomly selected 388 out of 620 gender reviews shows that gender discussions in app reviews revolve around six topics.

Women are more undecided than men about their vote choice, with around 20%–30% of female respondents giving a ‘don’t know’ response to vote intention survey questions in Britain. In this article, we employ a mixed methods research design to explore why women are more likely to be undecided about their vote choice than men. Using survey data, we find that the gender gap in ‘don’t know’ responses is associated with gender gaps in political engagement and perceptions of policy representation. In focus groups, we find differences between men and women in how they want to be represented, and gender...

Studi gender lebih menekankan pada aspek maskulinitas (masculinity) atau feminitas (femininity) seseorang dan juga lebih banyak berkonsentrasi kepada aspek sosial, budaya, psikologis, dan aspek-aspek non biologis lainnya. Islam sebagai rahmatan lil alamiin rahmad untuk semua makhluk yang ada di muka bumi. Allah swt menciptakan manusia laki-laki dan perempuan. Islam tetap sama dalam memandang peranan laki-laki dan perempuan sebagai Abdullah dan tugas sebagai khalifah dimuka bumi. Peranan Islam mengubah harkat martabat perempuan yang dulu hanya di pandang sebelah mata dan tidak dapat kedudukan d...

Pendahuluan Fokus bahasan dalam tulisan ini akan mengkaji lebih lanjut urgensi dari keberadaan kampus berperspektif gender ditengah maraknya kasus terkait relasi gender yang timpang di perguruan tinggi. Disorotnya respon kampus yang beragam dalam merespon permasalahan terkait gender, seperti pelecehan seksual antara mahasiswa maupun dosen dengan mahasiswa membuat wacana kampus berperspektif gender menjadi penting untuk ditelisik. Gender atau jenis kelamin sosial adalah adalah sebuah cara pandang dalam melihat dan memahami sifat – sifat laki – laki dan perempuan yang sifatnya berasal dari konst...

Abstract Objectives: This study sought to examine the association between perpetrator gender and victim gender and the use of sexually aggressive tactics (e.g., persistent enticement, verbal pressure, taking advantage of the inability to consent, and ignoring explicit non-consent). Methods: Participants were recruited from research panels to complete an online survey. They were asked to indicate which, if any, of 39 sexually aggressive tactics—representing four categories and nine subcategories—they had used to obtain sex, answering based on the gender with whom they most often have sex. Parti...

This article, concentrating on trends in the field of gender and sexuality studies of the last decade or so, makes a case for expanding both the geography and the methodology for early modern gender studies, broadly conceived. Themes considered here include the intermingling of the intimate and the imperial as well as marriage, law, slavery and labor, freedom, settler colonialism, intersectionality, queer studies, mothering, and reproduction. This topic, and article, also point to the need to make use of material culture and to interrogate the silence and violence of the archive remaining.

With an increasing visibility of non-binary individuals, a growing number of language-specific strategies to linguistically include all genders or neutralize any gender references can be observed. Due to this multiplicity of proposed strategies and gender-specific grammatical differences across languages, selecting the one option to translate gender-fair language is challenging for machines and humans alike. As a first step towards gender-fair translation, we conducted a survey with translators to compare four gender-fair translations from a notional gender language, English, to a grammatical ...

Findings may have implications as regards training in responsible conduct in research; however, without further investigating larger cohorts and a better understanding of underlying mechanisms, it would be premature to draw any firm conclusions at this stage.

As a collaboration between the two authors, this essay first addresses each author’s individual perspective on language and gender studies, particularly as it has taken shape in the US context, and then offers a jointly developed argument regarding the field’s history and trajectory. We write from the respective standpoints of our lived experiences within and beyond the academy. Mary is a white cis female-identified linguistics professor who was deeply involved in the Berkeley Women and Language Group in the 1990s and has conducted research on language and gender throughout her career, especia...

Masyarakat sering bandingkan kaum adam dan hawa berdasarkan fisiologis dan biologis sehingga menyebabkan bias gender. Bias gender kebanyakan berdampak diskriminasi, kekerasan dan pelecehan dengan anggapan perempuan itu lemah. Pemikiran ini banyak terjadi ditengah masyarakat hasil dari kontruksi sosial-adat. Perbedaan kedua kaum tidak mencorakkan untung disatu individu maupun kelompok. Akidah Islam menjaga hak kaum hawa sehingga memberi kepedulian dan posisi tehormat. Praktek menjadi tidak wajar terhadap perempuan karena ajaran serta bimbingan Islam tidak di implementasikan, disebabkan tradisi ...

A framework for alleviating gender dysphoria in service provision and to develop a framework for application in health and other areas that can be used by researchers and service providers to design study protocols, assess organisations and enhance everyday practice in ways that are sensitive to TGD people’s experiences is proposed.

Many studies on plagiarism have suggested that there exist gender differences in the extent of plagiarizing in education. It is therefore the purpose of this paper to determine the different reasons why students engage in plagiarism and to describe any gender differences in the reasoning of the students. In this present paper, a total of thirty college students (fifteen males and fifteen females) of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), University of the Philippines Manila were included. A semi-structured survey questionnaire was used in this study and descriptive statistical tools were used...

Gender studies education in Kazakhstan is facing many challenges that impede its progress and efficacy. This paper delves into the current issues plaguing gender studies education in Kazakhstan, providing an overview of the country's educational framework. A review of the education system was undertaken from a gender perspective with a focus on the higher education level. In 2019, the Directory of gender education in higher educational institutions of the Republic of Kazakhstan was issued by the Institute of social and gender research of the Kazakh National Women’s Teacher Training University....

Globally, women remain underrepresented in STEM. Our lab-in-the-field study delves into parental influence on adolescents' perceptions of scientific versus humanistic aptitude. We find that thinking about parental recommendation affects students' beliefs on their comparative advantage in a gender-stereotypical way. Girls are 23 percent less likely to choose math when they think about their mothers' recommendation before selecting their field. The paper underscores the critical role that parents play in shaping gender-specific beliefs about academic strengths, highlighting potential avenues for...

This research critically discusses the impact of this gender-based shift in medical training, considering how models of medical training are still ill-suited to supporting equity and inclusivity within the workforce, with particular impacts for women despite this gender shift.

AIMS This paper adopts a gender role socialization theoretical lens to analyze how different types of bullying techniques are heavily influenced by indirect passive aggression strategies usually considered normal "women's behavior". BACKGROUND Workplace bullying as an organizational phenomenon has so far been examined within gender-neutral parameters. This study tries to overcome this existing lacuna within the literature on gender and workplace bullying. METHOD The study integrates dialectical phenomenology and in-depth interviews with nine nurses from the nursing field to examine the gen...

: This article provides an overview of critical issues and scholarly developments pertaining to music with gender.

The underrepresentation of women in some quantitatively oriented academic fields such as STEM, business, and economics is widely seen across U.S. colleges and universities. Among potential explanations for this gender imbalance, some scholars have noted that the average grade levels in these fields tend to be substantially lower than in others, and have hypothesized that female students are generally characterized by relatively greater sensitivity to the grades they receive. This paper undertakes an examination of these questions using a rich Indiana University Learning Analytics dataset, whic...

In this paper, we investigate an ongoing change in the grammatical gender system of Norwegian. Previous research has shown that the feminine form of the indefinite article is quickly disappearing from several dialects, which has led to claims that the feminine gender is being lost from the language. We have carried out a study of the status of the feminine in possessives across five age groups of speakers of the Tromsø dialect. Our findings show that the prenominal possessives are affected by the change to the same extent as the indefinite article, while forms that have been argued not to be e...

Alcohol consumption, purchasing preferences and harm show strong gender patterns among adult drinkers in England and alcohol pricing policies are estimated to be more effective at reducing consumption and harm for men than women.

Financial inclusion (FI) for vulnerable populations, such as women, is critical for achieving gender equality, women’s empowerment, and thereby, inclusive growth. Sustainable development goal 5 considers gender equality as a fundamental right and views the empowerment of women as a necessary step. Access to finance is a significant means to empower a person. In this regard, the use of digital financial services is of particular significance for women as it allows them easier access to financial products for business and household needs. For implementing policies to reduce financial exclusion o...

Women’s and gender studies in the twenty-first century have transformed the question of theory and praxis across the globe. As a discipline, it is waging its struggle against diverse forms of power and patriarchy. Women’s studies in India started its own unique trajectory from the 1970s onwards. However, Dalit feminism critiqued the metanarrative of Indian feminism in the 1990s. Dalit feminists argued that they are oppressed on the basis of caste, class and gender. Dalit feminism subverted the internal and external patriarchy through its own powerful methodology and tropes. It debunked the par...

Even in highly screened samples of children and adolescents seeking a GD diagnosis and gender-affirming medical care, outcome pathways follow a diverse range of possibilities.

Findings suggest that peer review and editorial processes do not penalize manuscripts by women, and increasing gender diversity in editorial teams and referee pools could help journals inform potential authors about their attention to these factors and so stimulate participation by women.

In the past thirty years, the study of sociolinguistic variation has moved its focus ‘inside’ the speaker – from macrosocial categories to local categories, to the personae that inhabit categories and to the stylistic practice in which personae entangle themselves in the social landscape. This latter stage has commonly been called the Third Wave and is indeed inspired by third wave feminism, as the focus has turned from the gender binary to the range of gendered personae. This article traces my participation in these developments, beginning with the Berkeley Women and Language Group conference...

As we are moving further into the third decade of the twenty-first century the ideological tensions, in and around gender studies, including masculinity studies, are increasing and decreasing in parallel. We are currently, and have for quite some time been, under heavy attack from different expressions of anti-genderism, and especially from ethno-nationalist and alt-right movements (see for instance Verloo, 2018). No cease-fire in sight here it seems, but rather a continuously raised tone, and seemingly small prospects for any common understanding, as joint understanding is not the vocabulary ...

We are said to be the people of the modern age where we understand our rights and enjoy our freedom, but is this the real case? As we all live in a society or a community of people where we are expected to be someone in a framework of that particular community-based defined guidelines, this can be the case with religion, caste, or gender such situation can be called or defined as stereotypes, in simple we can define stereotypes as a particular type of person. Similarly, in the case of Gender, a gender stereotype is something that categories a person as a male or female or other just on the way...

In Western countries, recent decades have witnessed a revolution toward gender equality. Inequalities have been greatly reduced in areas such as education or employment. Because inequalities lead to distress, this development has largely benefited women. One notable exception is the realm of parenting, which has remained rife with inequalities even in the most egalitarian countries. We hypothesized that experiencing inequality in parenting when one holds egalitarian values and raising a child in a country characterized by a high level of gender equality in other areas, increases mothers’ psych...

Abstract:This paper concerns gender aspects of children's play in nature environments. In an ethnographic study, children between 1 and 6 years in a Swedish outdoor preschool were videotaped during time for free play. Four different play themes were particularly popular among the children: war and superhero play, family play, animal play and physical play. Each one of these themes has been analyzed from two perspectives: how nature resources are used and which gender positions they provide. Within the themes, nature's affordances are used in various ways. Similarly, a range of gender positions...

This case study examines transfer effects in the acquisition of grammatical gender in L3/Ln. A learner of L3 Swedish, who had previously acquired two grammatical gender systems: one in his native Polish and the other in his non-native Norwegian, participated in three tasks: an online gender decision task, an offline gender decision task, and a speeded acceptability judgement task on determiner phrases (indefinite article + noun). Accuracy scores in all three tasks reveal robust transfer from Norwegian, but not from Polish. The transfer from Norwegian determines two processes inherent to gramma...

The aim of this research is to compare the hermeneutical models of Amina Wadud and Farid Esack. Hermeneutics is known as a new interpretive model used by Muslim feminist scholars, to reinterpret verses of the Koran that are interpreted textually and with gender bias. This research is qualitative research with the type of library research. Then the data collected in document form was analyzed using descriptive-comparative figures against Amina Wadud's hermeneutical model. The results of the research show that there are similarities and differences between the two hermeneutics. One of the most o...

ABSTRACT We investigated effects of tracking students into higher, more academic, and lower, less academic, school types immediately after primary school (early tracking) instead of having a comprehensive secondary school system (late tracking) on school gender segregation and gender gaps in achievement outcomes. We assumed that, in early tracking countries, girls are more frequently selected into more academic school types, which leads to more school segregation by gender and achievement advantages of girls over boys. In a differences-in-differences design, we compared secondary-school-level ...

The past quarter century has seen a resurgence of research on the controversial topic of gender differences in variability, in part because of its potential implications for the issue of under- and over-representation of various subpopulations of our society, with respect to different traits. Unfortunately, several basic statistical, inferential, and logical errors are being propagated in studies on this highly publicized topic. These errors include conflicting interpretations of the numerical significance of actual variance ratio values; a mistaken claim about variance ratios in mixtures of d...

The Asian Baby Girl (ABG), a racialized and gendered social label, is a recent social phenomenon occurring within the Asian American community. It is a new Asian American archetype amongst the Dragon Lady, China Doll, and Lotus Blossom that targets and constructs racialized femininity. Hinging on its visual appearance, the ABG is a persona whose performance evokes positive and negative connotations due to its ability to subvert Asian American stereotypes and create a hybridized Asian American persona, while also creating new and restraining stereotypes imposed onto Asian American women. This s...
