- Description
- 'Author discusses the antecedents and consequences of identification with feminism. First she defines what a feminist actually is. .More technically, the Oxford dictionary says that a feminist is “A person who supports feminism”, and feminism means “The belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities”. There are many definitions of feminism and individuals often define feminism differently. .There are many branches of feminism. Men and women should not be treated as if they are the same because that maintains inequality. Hence, radical feminists challenge social norms and existing social institutions. Other subgroups of feminists call themselves socialist feminists, liberal feminists, lesbian feminists, or Black feminists. Despite their many differences, what all of these branches of feminists have in common is that they are willing to label themselves as a feminist. .Interestingly, some people believe that men and women should be equal, but do not identify as a feminist. Others believe in gender equality based on individual values and self-determination, and therefore call themselves neo-liberals, or egalitarians. .Some people argue that there is more to being a feminist than merely believing that men and women should be equal. For example, being a woman is sometimes seen as a requirement for being a feminist, as is being an activist and actively striving for equal rights. In fact, according to one feminist identity, active engagement in collective action is the final stage of developing a feminist. To conclude, feminism (or feminist) is a multifaceted concept and there is not one definition. In all definitions though there is one corresponding aspect and that is that feminism is about the equality of the sexes.'

- Description
- Young viewers encounter content in the media that they are not able to distinguish from reality are not confined to sexually explicit internet material. That’s the same case with less explicit, but nonetheless unrealistic, sexual content in more mainstream media such as music videos. For example, in a highly publicized case, rap and hiphop culture and its sexually stereotypical music videos in particular, were said to have inspired 13-year old teenagers to engage in sexual assault. That's why politicians and other critical voices from society requested that young people are taught to put sexual media content in perspective. To know whether such requests are warranted and how they can be addressed, however, we first need to understand whether and how sexual media content affects young people, which young people are affected most and which are not. This dissertation aims to contribute to this understanding.

- Description
- 'The aim of this study is to describe the characteristics of female sexual offenders and their offending careers. It is well known that there is variation in various aspects of male sexual offending. Researchers have attempted to address this heterogeneity by developing classifications. Such classifications have been based on the age of the victim (child molesters versus rapists), the age of the offender (juvenile versus adult offenders), the presence of any co-offenders (solo-offenders versus co-offenders), whether there was physical contact with the victim (hands-on versus hands-off offenses) and offenders’criminal careers (versatile offenders versus specialized offenders). Such heterogeneity is arguably also present in female, adult, as well as juvenile sexual offenders. '

- Description
- 'Auteur stelt zich de vraag of het koloniaal feminisme van de 20ste eeuw een vervolg moet kennen in een islamofoob feminisme in de 21ste eeuw. Ervan uitgaand dat in het Westen in een dominant klimaat van neo- .kolonialisme, eurocentrisme en islamofobie leven, vraagt auteur zich af of het Westers feminisme nog steeds .genoegen neemt met het hegemonische referentiekader. Is de evolutie binnen het Westers feminisme er één van toenemende openheid ten opzichte van en dialoog met feministen van buiten het Westen? Net zoals die enkele feministen die in de koloniale tijd de heersende habitus van racisme in vraag stelden, is het .ook nu mogelijk om het hegemonische kader uit te dagen en de nadruk te leggen op de gecontextualiseerde invulling die feminisme wereldwijd moet krijgen, en dus te vertrekken van dialoog en tolerantie in plaats van Westers superioriteitsdenken.'

- Description
- 'This dissertation will analyze representations of Afghan women wearing a burqa and the specific ways in which such images are constructed. I will focus on specific representations that were originally created in the Netherlands, France, Sweden, and the United States. These representations range from media discourses to visual arts and political discourses but they constitute two sets of interventions. In the first part of the dissertation, I focus on representations of the burqa worn by women in Afghanistan (over there, where the archetype sees them as oppressed by their culture), and in the second part of the dissertation, I turn to images that represent the burqa in our midst, within “our” Western world. And this time, the woman is represented as a threat as well as a victim.'

- Description
- In deze bachelorscriptie onderzoekt auteur de weergave van vrouwen in moderne Chinese speelfilms (gemaakt na 2000), in zogenaamde women’s films – films gemaakt door vrouwelijke regisseurs. Dit doet auteur aan de hand van vier films van twee Chinese regisseuses, Li Yu en Ning Ying. De hoofdvraag die auteur stelt is: “Hoe worden vrouwen weergegeven in de moderne Chinese vrouwenfilms Fish and Elephant (2001) en Lost in Beijing (2007) van Li Yu, en I Love Beijing (2001) en Perpetual Motion (2005) van Ning Ying, als het gaat om perspectief, de subject of object positie van de vrouw en agency – het hebben van de vrijheid en autonomie om eigen keuzes te maken – en wat zijn de drijvende factoren achter deze weergave?”

- Description
- Author wants to contribute to new ways of thinking about the 'Arab Spring', that are not based on problematic Orientalist narratives and assumptions that underlie some of the arguments about these topics. Author starts this thesis by historicizing and deconstructing the related concepts of secularism and democracy, to show how the narrative on these issues operates on a very specific preconception of Muslim women. In this thesis author will consider how secularism influences the construction and use of Muslim women and agency (or lack of agency) that is produced in the discourse on the ‘Arab Spring’ and then discusses whether this can be re-thought in a more productive and positive way through use of post-secular theory.

- Description
- 'Dit onderzoek heeft onderzocht hoe huisvaders en parttime werkende vaders de combinatie van werk, zorgtaken en vaderschap ervaren en welke invloed werk, zorgtaken en vaderschap hebben op hun mannelijke identiteit. Er is gebruik gemaakt van een kwalitatieve onderzoeksstrategie, omdat de ervaringen van de vaders centraal staan. De data is verzameld middels semigestructureerde interviews. Vijftien vaders hebben meegewerkt aan dit onderzoek, waarvan zes huisvaders en negen parttime werkende vaders. Dit onderzoek kan concluderen dat werk, zorgtaken en vaderschap vormend zijn voor de mannelijke identiteit van de vaders. Ze ontwikkelen een op gelijkheidgerichte mannelijkheid, waar zorgtaken en vaderschap een belangrijk onderdeel van hun mannelijkheid identiteit vormt. Daarnaast is gebleken dat het traditionele idee van mannelijkheid, waarin het hebben van werk centraal staat, ook nog een grote invloed heeft op hun mannelijke identiteit. De samenkomst, van een op gelijkheidgerichte mannelijkheid en de traditionele mannelijkheid, zorgt ervoor dat er binnen de mannelijke identiteit van de vaders een tegenstrijdige beleving over werk, zorgtaken en vaderschap is.'

- Description
- 'Of the 25 AEX-index listed organizations in The Netherlands only four have women in CEO or CFO positions. At the current rate, gender equality at work will not be reached until 2060 (Stichting de Beauvoir, 2012). These numbers point out a societal problem of female talent going to waste, especially considering the fact that more Dutch women, compared to men, are nowadays earning university degrees and are doing so at a faster rate. Within academia the situation is not any better. Although the percentage of women earning PhD degrees in the United States and Europe has increased and in some fields (e.g., humanities, agriculture, education, health) more than half of the degrees are earned by women, this has not translated into equal numbers of women becoming full professors. It is evident that in terms of gender equality, still a lot needs to be done in the Netherlands.'

- Dissertation Wageningen University & Research. Women play an important role in agricultural production, especially horticulture in Senegal, by managing their own farm and by providing their labour to their husband's fields. This thesis aims to investigate the economic performance of horticultural households in Senegal, using efficiency and profitability as main indicators and adopting a gender perspective. Research questions addressed are the efficiency of the allocation of household resources over men and women, the efficiency of contracts with hired workers, either as wage labourers or as sharecroppers for household profit optimization, risk behaviour across gender, and its effects on the economic performance and the choice of labour contracts. Summary in English, French and Dutch.
