Ewa Batyra, Luca Maria Pesando, Andrés F. Castro Torres, Frank F. Furstenberg, more

Population, Space and Place > 29 > 5 > n/a - n/a

Studies on global changes in families have greatly increased over the past decade, adopting both a country‐specific and, more recently, a cross‐national comparative perspective. While most studies are focused on the drivers of global changes in families, little comparative research has explored the implications of family processes for the health and well‐being of children. This study aims to fill...

GENDER AS A MEDIATION BETWEEN WORLD LITERATURE AND NATIONAL LITERATURE

Fatima Festić

World Literature Studies > 2023 > 15 > 3 > 34 – 44

This article approaches the discussion on world and national literature from an interactive gender angle, pointing to a hybrid multi-scaling of their components. It probes Anna Akhmatova’s and Ingeborg Bachmann’s gender and language performance within two (re)imperializing post-World War I/II structures, the socialist Bolshevik and nationalist Austrian ones, and how these two writers rewrite these...

It draws on official records, publicity material, print media, memoirs and oral histories for an analysis of the gendered dynamics of the wartime management of the dairy herd, focusing on...

Who pays the penalty? Implications of gender pay disparities within top management teams for firm performance

Yoshio Yanadori, Carol T. Kulik, Jill A. Gould

Human Resource Management > 60 > 4 > 681 - 699

Despite the expected advantages of appointing women to corporate leadership roles, empirical evidence provides mixed support for the positive relationship between women's representation in the top management team (TMT) and subsequent firm performance. Considering the evidence that female TMT members are often paid less than their male colleagues, this study examines the implications of a gender pay...

Perceptions of gender dynamics in small‐scale fisheries and conservation areas in the Pursat province of Tonle Sap Lake, Cambodia

Y.K. Eugenia Kwok, Krishna Bahadur KC, Jennifer J. Silver, Evan Fraser

Asia Pacific Viewpoint > 61 > 1 > 54 - 70

The Tonle Sap Lake of Cambodia is one of the most productive ecosystems in the world, supporting millions of small‐scale fisher livelihoods. Women's contributions in these fisheries are often overlooked due to socio‐cultural expectations of roles and responsibilities. This is a crucial omission since climate and anthropogenic influences increasingly threaten lake inhabitants. Addressing these challenges...

Benjamin Reynolds, Meagan Tyler

Australian Journal of Public Administration > 77 > 4 > 529 - 541

This paper provides an historical and cultural context, from a feminist perspective, of the Prepare, Stay and Defend or Leave Early (PSDLE) bushfire safety policy, colloquially known as ‘Stay or Go’, in Australia. We examine the historical, cultural, and political factors that have devalued and marginalised women's experience and knowledge of bushfire preparedness and response. The central tenet of...
