Myriad potential for mentoring: Understanding the process of transformational change through a gender equality intervention

This article contributes to understanding transformational change towards gender equality by examining the transformational change potential of a mentoring programme for women, a type of gender equality intervention both criticized and praised for its ability to bring about change. Drawing upon an empirical case study of a mentoring programme for women academics in a Dutch university, we explore three dimensions of transformational change: organizational members (i) discussing and reflecting upon gendered organizational norms and work practices; (ii) creating new narratives; and (iii) experimenting with new work practices. Our findings indicate five specific conditions that enable transformational change: cross‐mentoring, questioning what is taken for granted, repeating participation and individual stories, facilitating peer support networks and addressing and equipping all participants as change agents. We suggest that these conditions should be taken into account when (re)designing effective organizational gender equality interventions.     

市场分割、政企关系与异地市场拓展

中国的市场仍旧存在某种程度的分割，如何突破这种市场分割到异地拓展市场是企业要考虑的现实问题。以前的研究主要是从省级层面或国家层面进行宏观分析。文章创新地从政企关系视角入手来考察市场分割情形下微观层面的企业异地市场拓展，也是首先把市场分割（和异地市场）分为省内（本市外）市场、省外市场和海外市场三个不同层面来研究的论文。用世界银行的调查数据从微观企业个体层面检验了企业异地市场拓展的可能。实证研究结果发现，市场分割确实阻碍了企业异地市场拓展，但这仅限于省内市场而不是省外市场。此外，市场分割是有方向性的，从地方保护主义严重的市场里走出来的企业更容易拓展异地市场，但此结论仅适用于国内市场拓展而不适用于海外市场拓展。良好的政企关系是有利于企业异地市场拓展的，但仅限于省外市场，对省内市场以及海外市场是无效的。文章解释了其中的原因，并分析了对于企业实践的启示。     

生态危机的思想文化根源——当代西方生态思潮的核心问题

生态思潮的主要诉求是重审人类文化,进行思想文化批判,揭示生态危机的思想文化根源。人类中心主义、唯发展主义和科技至上观是生态危机的主要思想根源。人文社会科学学者虽然不能直接参与具体的生态治理实践,却能够为挖掘乃至铲除生态危机的思想文化之根作出贡献,为构建环境友好型社会作出贡献。生态思潮的意义和价值就在于此。对于生态文化的重建来说,生态整体主义、生态的发展观和生态的科技观具有重要的作用,它们构成了生态文化的思想基础。

向城市社区居委会跨越性转变——“城中村”转型发展系列研究之二

“城中村”是我国农村城市化进程中出现的一种特殊现象。积极妥善解决“城中村”问题 ,加快“城中村”转型发展 ,使其真正融入城市 ,是城市化发展的迫切需要 ,也是这些村自身经济和社会发展的迫切需要。“城中村”的转型发展 ,关键在于管理体制的转变。传统的路子是从村委会转为居委会 ,但在全国推进城市社区建设的今天 ,不必要也不应该再走这个弯路 ,而应该直接向城市社区居委会跨越性转变。这种转变是必要的 ,也是可能的。要积极探索和采取切实有效的对策和措施 ,促进“城中村”跨越性转变

约翰·福尔斯小说中的“剧中剧”

约翰·福尔斯的小说《魔法师》和《法国中尉的女人》在结构上模仿了莎士比亚《暴风雨》的“剧中剧”设置。这种设置给小说中的人物提供了一个“寻找自我”的舞台，福尔斯借此探索了人的自我本质以及个体自由，表达了存在主义人文关怀的创作思想。     

场域论视角下的城市社区建设

场域论社区发展理论认为,社区的本质是社会互动,社区是地域性社会内不同利益群体为了实现共同利益而整合起来的社会互动场域,社区发展的本质就是地域社会内居民的自组织能力的发展。该理论对发展我国社区建设理论具有建设性的启发和借鉴意义。     

Gender in academic STEM: A focus on men faculty

In this study, we explore how men faculty understand the role of gender in shaping faculty experiences in academic science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and how they position themselves in relation to inequalities disfavouring women. Our data reveal diversity among men in their understandings regarding challenges facing women in STEM. The majority of our participants revealed gender‐blind perspectives and argued that the egalitarian structure of academia does not allow gender to impact attainments in STEM in any significant way. However, a considerable number of them felt privileged compared to women and described subtle ways in which gender shapes opportunities. Our findings show the important implications of men's sensitivity to gender in the ways they perform their professional roles as, for example, mentors, colleagues and teachers in relation to women in STEM. They further call for attention to men's perceptions of gender issues when designing institutional interventions for improving women's conditions in STEM.     

Who owns the trauma? A Kleinian perspective on the dialogue between child protection social workers and the media

The present paper makes use of the developmental model of movement between mental positions that was formulated by psychoanalyst Melanie Klein, aimed at understanding the dialogue that takes place between the media and social workers in the field of child welfare, centring around incidents of murder within the family. The basic concept in the paper is that when working with children who are victims of abuse and with their parents, and when reporting on them as well, the feeling of personal control is severely undermined, being associated with the loss of the hallowed social value known as ‘unconditional love of a parent for his child’. The paper illustrates these theoretical ideas by describing two cases that took place in Israel and recommendations are made regarding ways of promoting the dialogue between the professions.
