- Description
- This book provides a comprehensive look at gender gaps across time and various issue areas completed since the 1980s. It provides a theoretical framework for explaining the causes of gender gap emergence that incorporates both nature (biology) and nurture (socialization) and provides the basis with which to predict the attitudes on which gender gaps will likely emerge. The book explores the causes of gender gaps in foreign and social policy and introduces a new way of conceptualizing biology based on emerging research in the hard sciences.

- Description
- In this publication, the author exposes racialized rhetorics of violence in politics and charts the development of gender as a category in U.S. asylum law. Starting with the late 1980s, when gender-based requests first emerged in case law, she analyzes gender and sexuality-related cases against the backdrop of national and transnational politics. She reviews the claims, evidence, testimony, and message strategies that unfolded in these legal arguments and decisions, and illuminates how legal decisions turned gender into a political construct vulnerable to U.S. national and global interests.

- Description
- Auteur onderzoekt welke vrouwen aan de UGent er in het recente verleden toch in slaagden om het glazen plafond te doorbreken en op welke manier ze dit deden. Haar focus ligt op de vrouwelijke emeriti van de UGent en niet op de nog actieve vrouwelijke professoren. De emeritae van UGent zijn een duidelijk afgebakende groep en zijn getuigen van een recent verleden, namelijk de situatie aan de UGent tijdens de tweede helft van de 20e eeuw. .Het levensverhaal van vrouwelijke hoogleraren aan de UGent tijdens de 20e eeuw staat centraal in deze scriptie. De ervaringen van deze vrouwen – die aan het licht komen via mondelinge getuigenissen – worden in hun historische context geplaatst. Er wordt ook gekeken naar de mogelijkheden voor vrouwen wat betreft de uitbouw van een academische loopbaan tijdens de 19e en vooral de 20e eeuw.
