Gender, Development and Environmental Governance : Theorizing Connections
A major challenge in studies of environmental governance is dealing with the diversity of the people involved at multiple levels – villagers, development agents, policy-makers, private resource users and others – and taking seriously their aspirations, conflicts and collaborations.This book examines this challenge in two very disparate parts of our world, exploring what gender-equality, resource management and development mean in real terms for its inhabitants as well as for our environmental futures. Based on participatory research and in-depth fieldwork, Arora-Jonsson studies struggles for local forest management, the making of women’s groups within them and how the women’s groups became a threat to mainstream institutions.Insights from India, consistently ranked as one of the most gender-biased countries, are compared with similar situations in the ostensibly gender-equal Sweden.Arora-Jonsson also analyzes how dominant ideas about the environment, development and gender equality shape the spaces in which women and men take action through global discourses and grassroots activism. Questioning the conventional belief that development brings about greater gender equality and more efficient environmental management, this volume scrutinizes how environmental imaginations are key to crafting gender relations.It shows gender to be at the heart of environmental negotiations while at the same time making a case for environmental sensibilities as integral to gender relations.At the confluence of development, environmental and gender studies, the book contributes to a much-needed dialogue between these fields, proposing new futures in environmental management.

What gender does the ugly gender have?
The concept of an "ugly gender" does not exist. Gender is a social construct that is not inherently tied to physical appearance or attractiveness. It is important to recognize that beauty standards are subjective and should not be used to define or categorize gender.

Doesn't the gender thing support gender roles?
The concept of gender is separate from the idea of gender roles. Gender refers to the social and cultural expectations and norms associated with being male, female, or non-binary, while gender roles are the specific behaviors and activities that society expects from individuals based on their gender. While the concept of gender can influence and perpetuate gender roles, it also allows for the recognition and acceptance of diverse gender identities and expressions beyond traditional roles. By understanding and challenging the construct of gender, we can work towards breaking down restrictive gender roles and promoting equality and inclusivity for all individuals.

What does gender and gender identity mean to you?
Gender and gender identity to me are about how individuals perceive and express themselves in relation to societal expectations and norms associated with being male, female, or non-binary. It is a deeply personal and complex aspect of one's identity that can influence how they navigate the world, interact with others, and understand themselves. I believe that everyone should have the freedom to define and express their gender in a way that feels authentic and true to who they are.

Globalisation, Geopolitics, and Gender in Professional Communication
This edited collection investigates the linguistics of globalisation, geopolitics and gender in workplace cultures in a range of different contemporary international settings.The chapters examine how issues of globalisation, gender and geopolitics affect professionals in different workplace contexts, including domestic workers; IT professionals; teachers, university staff; engineers; entrepreneurs; CEOs of different corporates including locally based businesses as well as multinationals; farmers; co-operative leaders; NGO leaders; bloggers; healthcare assistants and caregivers. Taking different sociolinguistic approaches to exploring language and the geopolitics of gender at work in Dubai, Kuwait, Kenya, Uganda, Morocco, Nigeria, Malaysia, Turkey, Belgium, Switzerland, New Zealand, Uganda, the UK and the USA, each chapter focuses on a range of salient geopolitical issues which often have global applicability, but which may also be subject to more localised socio-cultural variation.The chapters critically discuss issues of gendered language, perceptions and representations of workplace cultures, discrimination, the role of gendered stereotyping and deeply ingrained socio-cultural myths about gender and the importance of examining the intersections of identity – all of which continue to persist as barriers to equality and inclusion in workplaces worldwide. Despite the variation and diversity in professions and geopolitical contexts captured across the chapters, remarkably similar issues of gender discrimination and persisting inequalities are identified and critically discussed, thus pointing to the global nature of these issues.

Father Involvement and Gender Equality in the United States : Contemporary Norms and Barriers
This book focuses on issues of family, work, and gender, with a focus on gender inequality.Women are disadvantaged in both paid and domestic work, due in large part to being primarily responsible for duties within the domestic sphere.The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated these inequalities, making the issue of reducing gender inequality even more pressing.Fathers play an important role in contributing to, and perhaps reducing, gender inequality, but barriers to their involvement in family life have received less attention than detailing challenges that mothers face.If men were equally involved in all aspects of domestic life (i.e., were fully engaged dads), women's burdens would be reduced and perceptions of who is responsible for parenting may change, resulting in greater gender equality.Father Involvement and Gender Equality in the United States focuses on the key issue of father involvement, seeking to understand why fathers are less involved at home than mothers despite an increased desire for fathers to be more engaged parents.This book utilizes recent national survey data, interviews with fathers, and insights from the author’s personal experience as a father to identify current norms of fatherhood within the United States, barriers to father involvement, and strategies to overcome these barriers.Overall, this book argues that by establishing the expectation that fathers will be fully engaged dads as a cultural norm, and by providing structural opportunities for fathers to meet this cultural standard, greater gender equality can be achieved within the United States.The arguments presented in this book are valuable for scholars in the areas of family, work, and gender, policymakers and business leaders who seek to promote gender equality and work-family balance, and parents who are interested in achieving a more egalitarian division of labor within their own families.

Gender and Community Care : Social Work and Social Care Perspectives
Are there differences in the way that men and women care?Are the care needs of women and men perceived as being different?What do we mean by community? Is being cared for always a positive experience? How can social workers and social care workers work positively with individual differences?Much has been written about both the formal and informal provision of community care, and women's role within this.However, less attention has been paid to the users of community care services.Usually described in terms of being old, disabled, or experiencing mental health problems, service users are assumed to fit into homogeneous groups, their race and gender made invisible by the needs or problems they present. This book takes the experiences of users of community care services as its starting point.Drawing on feminist theory it documents the gender assumptions behind social work practice and community care policies, and reveals how these impact on women and men as both providers and recipients of community care.In doing so it provides an outline of the developments in practice and policy, and illustrates how particular constructions of gender have influenced both.This important text challenges assumptions that caring is always a positive experience for women and men. To conclude, a comprehensive overview of the literature about user groups is provided.This informs the author's argument that practitioners in social work and social care have to be attentive in their interventions to the way that identities are constructed and experienced, in order to ensure that services reflect both caring and justice.

Are specific gender-specific things expected of women and girls in your community?
Yes, in my community, there are specific gender-specific expectations for women and girls. Women are often expected to take on traditional roles such as caregiving, homemaking, and nurturing, while girls are expected to be polite, obedient, and focused on their appearance. These expectations can limit opportunities for women and girls to pursue their own interests and goals, and can perpetuate gender stereotypes. However, there is also a growing movement to challenge these expectations and create more opportunities for women and girls to pursue their own paths.
