Sweden is often hailed as a pioneering country regarding gender equity, but it still has gender equity issues to deal with,
and gender stereotyping is sometimes mentioned as one of them. Since the 1990s, Sweden has seen the emergence of many gender
pedagogy projects, not least in pre-schools. With gender equity projects among adults yielding limited results, the focus
has shifted to children to see if gender stereotypes can be countered in childhood. This article aims to provide an overview
of the gender pedagogy projects that have been carried out in Swedish pre-schools. The article covers background, methods
and insights gained.

Knowledge organisation, embodiment of knowledge and knowledge representation are important issues for an anthropology of technology,
which seeks to explore the ways in which people find and shape everyday solutions to social and technical challenges. This
article discusses the impact of skill and of risk prevention on women’s decision-making, as well as on the domestication and
appropriation of new technologies. Particular attention is paid to non-synchronicity as a retarding factor and to the obsolescence
of skills as a critical moment in the transformation of socio-technical systems in twentieth century rural northern China
as elsewhere.

This article examines birth control as practice and discourse in 1920s and 1930s Korea under Japanese colonial rule and explores
links with family planning and reproductive practices in post-1945 South Korea. The control of women’s reproduction held critical
implications for meanings of domesticity, marriage, sexual relations, and new womanhood. While a woman-centered position did
emerge regarding birth control, the parameters of the discourse, concerns of gynecology, and the material culture of birth
control ultimately tied the bodies and health of women to their biological and social roles as mothers.

The existence of a “boy crisis” in the United States is a topic of public policy debate. This study examines the state of
American boyhood, using not only the commonly reviewed indicators of school achievement but also mental health, premature
death, injury, delinquency, and arrests. Boys are in trouble in many areas: low rates of literacy, low grades and engagement
in school, high dropout from school, and dramatically higher rates of placement in special education, suicide, premature death,
injuries, and arrests. Girls, however, suffer from other problems, especially depression, suicidal ideation and attempts,
and eating disorders, and are less likely to achieve at the very highest levels in mathematics and science. This study argues
that both boys and girls suffer from characteristic problems, but the issues affecting boys are serious and neglected.

Whether immigrant women’s introduction to paid labor empowers them with greater autonomy or exacerbates their oppression has
been debated variously in the scholarship on gender and migration. In this paper, the author examines Korean immigrant women’s
perspectives on work outside the home after migration. Based on in-depth interview data, the paper emphasizes Korean women’s
own interpretations of work and motherhood, and highlights the ways in which they define and redefine work in relation to
other aspects of their post-migration experiences. The analysis finds that income producing work is not empowering in and
of itself, but contingent upon other post-migration challenges such as economic downward mobility and women’s changed roles
as working mothers. Furthermore, women’s perception of work fluctuates over time. The findings suggest that paid work should
not be simply interpreted as an empowering change, but the linkage between work and other aspects of immigrant women’s post-migration
realities needs to be more closely examined.

Using technology domestication theory as the analytical framework, this paper discusses the findings of ethnographic interviews
with middle class families in China and South Korea, comparing how they incorporate information and communication technologies
(ICTs) into their lives. It analyses how family priorities, cultural values and social pressures influence the ways in which
ICT use is woven into their lives, in the process invigorating traditional forms and networks of communication like guanxi for the Chinese and Cheong for the Koreans. It also pays special attention to supervision of ICT use and considers how the societal valorisation of
academic excellence influences parental strategies in this regard.

In this article, I analyze interviews with a diverse group of 30 women aged 46–71 to understand how they experience signs
of aging, such as weight gain, gray hair, and facial hair, in everyday life. I find that some women’s responses are in line
with normative femininity and appearance norms. Others, however, focus on different gendered meanings of the body that are
connected to care-taking, work, ageist treatment, and past abuse. I argue that feminists should apply the theoretical concept
of femininity more broadly than appearance and attraction issues to gain a deeper understanding of the multiple meanings of
living in an aging female body in a gendered society. In the conclusion, I discuss the implications of this study for public
health policies as well as future research on gender and the body.

Studies in the last decades show that perception of role conflict has changed in advanced societies so that (1) multiple roles
may be beneficial rather than conflictual and (2) men, too, are subject to incompatible role demands. This study examines
whether the same shift may be observed in a less developed society (Israel), and how perceptions of role combination and work
satisfaction influence the work concessions made by women and men who work in occupations that are typical or atypical for
their gender. The main assumption is that multiple roles lead to role conflict only if individuals fail to make concessions
that allow them to regulate time and energy in both spheres. The findings show that women still make more concessions than
men; work satisfactions strengthens the perception that combining family and work is possible; and only for women, the perception
that combining family and work is possible reduces the number of concessions they make.

Race-Class-Gender Theory: An Image(ry) Problem 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Ivy Ken 《Gender Issues》2007,24(2):1-20
For over 100 years, but particularly since the 1980s, scholars have heavily relied on images of race, class, and gender as
“intersecting” and “interlocking” forms of oppression and disempowerment. This imagery has helped feminists develop the empirically
grounded theoretical premises that (1) race, class, and gender are social structural locations, (2) structural locations shape
perspectives, (3) no individual is all-oppressed or all-oppressing, (4) the meanings of race, class, and gender are localized,
and (5) race, class, and gender depend on and (6) mutually constitute each other. In this article I synthesize these premises
to reveal some opportunities for theoretical development that may inspire a new generation of race-class-gender scholarship.
I argue that while intersection is fairly limited as a conceptual image, the interlocking imagery can help us identify how
the relationships among these structures of oppression have become institutionalized.

This study examines the relationship between gender and mathematics achievement among students in China and the United States,
with an emphasis on the gender gap among mathematically talented students. The results show that in neither the US nor China
are there gender differences in eighth grade math-achievement test scores. In China, there are no gender differences in mean
college entrance examination math scores among high-school seniors, while in America, the mean SAT-Math score among male high-school
seniors has been consistently higher than those of their female counterparts. In both the US and China, there are gender differences
among the top math performers on college entrance examinations; boys are over-represented. The Chinese national mathematics
curriculum, well-trained teachers, beliefs by students and their parents that academic achievement is more a product of effort
than of natural ability, a gender-neutral parental expectation for children’s education, and generous family spending on the
education of girls are suggested as possible factors underlying the comparable performance of the Chinese female and male
students. The sorting system at Chinese secondary school level and a cultural stereotype favoring boys in mathematics are
suggested as possible contributors to the math-achievement gender gap found among the top Chinese high school seniors.

The paper aims to develop a framework to understand the variant use of part-time work by employed mothers in the UK and US.
In particular, this paper seeks to explore how diversity in the use of part-time work can be explained when both countries
are associated with a neo-liberal form of capitalism (Hall and Soskice, Varieties of Capitalism: the institutional foundations
of comparative advantage, 2001) and welfare regime (Esping-Andersen, The three worlds of welfare capitalism, 1990). It is
argued here that by combining aspects of the Varieties of Capitalism (VoC) and welfare regimes literatures with Gender Regime
theory (Walby, Social Politics, 11(1):4–29, 2004), a gender centred analysis of both the causes and consequences of divergent
working-time patterns can be more adequately achieved.

Many Korean women felt strongly positive about donating their eggs for Hwang Woo Suk’s research, in spite of the fact that
Hwang was accused of fraud. It is said that there is a kind of unique ‘egg donation culture’ among Korean women, which urged
them to donate their eggs for his research. However, positing such a Korean ‘egg donation culture’ does not seem to give a
sufficient explanation of why so many Korean women were seemingly willing to provide their own eggs for Hwang’s research.
Instead, we suggest that egg donation issues in the Hwang affair can be interpreted under the paradoxical context, in which
Korean women are situated in the age of biotechnology. On the one hand, the invisibility of women as subjects in the public
sphere led to their lack of social control over ova trafficking and made it possible for a huge number of eggs to be supplied
secretly for Hwang’s team. The patriarchal structure of family, the myth of economic growth, and the restricted activities
of feminist organizations are possible contributors to the invisibility of Korean women. On the other hand, in the practices
of bodily technologies such as cosmetic surgery and reproductive technologies, Korean women have been highly visible. With
the help of those technological instruments, women have been empowered to own their own bodies and to have them at their disposal.
We argue that these dualistic realities of women as egg owners can explain the egg donation culture among Korean women in
the Hwang affair.

The peasantry is probably the last social category that researchers of technology and society readily associate with the use
of high technologies such as the Internet. But in China recently, tens of thousands of peasant entrepreneurs, engaged in a
unique form of rural tourism popularly called nongjiale (delights in farm guesthouses), have adopted the Internet as a medium for advertising their farm guesthouses. This paper
is an anthropological study of how Chinese peasant entrepreneurs’ adoption of the Internet is engrained in the broader material
and symbolic orders of contemporary Chinese society. By exploring the way in which the Chinese peasants are idiosyncratically
involved with the Internet, it also questions whether STS (Science, Technology, and Society) concepts such as users and non-users,
developed essentially within Euro-American contexts, are adequate to explain the symbolic appropriations of high-tech in pursuit
of modernity in China today.

Using data collected during a 4 year ethnography, this paper examines how the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) has impacted homeless women in San Francisco who are also victims of domestic violence. Specifically
this paper looks at how the behavior of abusive men prevents homeless women from successfully navigating the new welfare-to-work
requirements and maintaining stable employment. Findings indicate that despite the discourse touting the success of welfare
reform, the 1996 PRWORA has further disenfranchised an already devastated population systematically forcing them further onto
the margins of society.

Women and minorities have consistently experienced marginalization and inequality in the United States, with low-income, immigrant
and refugee women experiencing the most severe forms. This paper explores how we can restructure one area in which disparities
exist, the primary healthcare system, to provide respectful, compassionate, accessible and adequate care to refugee and low-income
women who are medically at-risk during pregnancy. This will be done by reviewing the Priscilla Project, an inner-city program
that serves at-risk pregnant women in Buffalo, NY, including the history and persistence of disparities in healthcare, activities
and impact of the program, and the uniquely contextualized program paradigm.

The overall ‘problem’ in early accounts of science and/or medicine in China seemed to center upon whether or not China possessed
or could acquire modern Western science. However, in the twenty-first century there is now little debate over whether or not
China has science. Yet, questions and concerns about science in China linger. The ‘problem’ of science in China has moved
away from a paradigm focused on possession or capability, to that of the correct or ethical application of Chinese science
and technology. In this essay, I will argue that the shifting of the so-called problem of Chinese science reflects larger
Western concerns about the definition and control of science itself, the rise of China as an international power, and the
ability to 'compete' in a global market predicated on the creation and application of new science and technologies.

In Korea, scientific excellence has been perceived as one of the key elements of modern nation-building. Moreover, from the
late 1990s to the early 2000s, the government represented biotechnology as the future engine of the economy. Hwang succeeded
in representing himself as the hero of Korean science by appropriating the public eagerness for scientific achievement. However,
he relied on nationalist rhetoric too often against criticisms, which eventually made a considerable part of the public turn
skeptical about his integrity. Although various forms of techno-nationalism are still pervasive in Korea, Hwang’s scandal
has given a valuable chance for reflection on the relationship of science and nationalism.

My goal in this paper is to revisit interaction ritual theory as a theoretical underpinning of West and Zimmerman’s ‘doing’
gender paradigm in order to develop a more nuanced understanding of what is taking place inside the interactions of men and
women as they ‘do’ gender. Recent work in ritual theory, specifically the work of Bell (Ritual theory, ritual practice, 1992) and Collins (Interaction ritual chains, 2004) expands the role of the individual in the ritual process by conceptualizing ritual as a form of ‘practice’ that can be mobilized in the pursuit of emotional energy. Through the narratives of 24 married couples, I explore how domestic labor functions
as an interaction ritual that is driven by ‘emotional energy’. This emotional energy shapes the localized intentions of men
and women as they ‘do’ gender thus transforming gender into something that we ‘use’ as well as ‘do’. These emotions and intentions
can be seen most clearly through a new ‘window’ of ritual.
