Gender Equality Observations in the Swedish Research Council's Review
A GENDER-NEUTRAL PROCESS – GENDER EQUALITY OBSERVATIONS IN THE SWEDISH RESEARCH COUNCIL’S REVIEW PANELS 2016 SWEDISH RESEARCH COUNCIL 2017 A GENDER-NEUTRAL PROCESS – GENDER EQUALITY OBSERVATIONS IN THE SWEDISH RESEARCH COUNCIL’S REVIEW PANELS 2016 VETENSKAPSRÅDET Swedish Research Council Box 1035 SE-101 38 Stockholm © Swedish Research Council VR1709 ISBN 978-91-7307-353-0 A GENDER-NEUTRAL PROCESS – GENDER EQUALITY OBSERVATIONS IN THE SWEDISH RESEARCH COUNCIL’S REVIEW PANELS 2016 Lisbeth Söderqvist Patrik Baard Anders Hellström Camilla Kolm PREFACE One of the Swedish Research Council’s principal tasks is to fund basic research of the highest quality. Gender equality is a quality issue for the entire research system and the Research Council has a duty to promote gender equality within its own area of operations. Over the course of several years, the Research Council has built up its knowledge of how efforts to increase gender equality in conjunction with research funding can be conducted. One tool that the Research Council is using is gender equality observations. These have been conducted every two years since 2012. The aim of these observations is to review, from a gender equality perspective, the meetings at which experts discuss applications for research grants that the Research Council has received. These meetings are a central aspect of the Research Council’s research grant allocation process. The observations are part of wider gender equality efforts within the Research Council that also encompass the development of other parts of the evaluation process in order to achieve the Research Council’s gender equality objectives. Previous gender equality observations have resulted in recommendations that, together with an internal development process, have led to improvements to the Research Council’s procedures. -
Gender Neutrality and the Definition of Rape: Challenging the Law’S Response to Sexual Violence and Non-Normative Bodies
GENDER NEUTRALITY AND THE DEFINITION OF RAPE: CHALLENGING THE LAW’S RESPONSE TO SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND NON-NORMATIVE BODIES ELISABETH MCDONALD* In 2005 the legislature of Aotearoa New Zealand chose for the second time, the first occurring in 1986, to retain the offence of rape as one of the ways in which the crime of sexual violation may be committed. The current definition of rape means that only those with a penis can be guilty of this offence, and only those with female genitalia can be a victim of such a crime. Despite use of the term in public vernacular being wider than the legal definition, little advocacy has been focussed on reforming this law, although those in the trans and intersex communities recognise their experiences are not reflected in the description of rape. In this piece I note the importance, and difficulty, of making visible within the legislative framework both the gendered nature of sexual offending as well as the vulnerabilities of those who have non-normative bodies. By considering the theory and critical analysis which informed the debates and law reform undertaken in other jurisdictions, I conclude that it is time to reconsider the actus reus of rape in Aotearoa New Zealand, with the aim of extending its scope so as to be responsive to all communities’ experiences of sexual violence. I INTRODUCTION Beginning with reform which took shape primarily in the mid-1970s, most common law jurisdictions have now adopted revised definitions of varying types of sexual offences. Early advocates for change were primarily concerned with the limited scope of the traditional crime of rape, including the requirement for force and the marital exemption.1 Feminists also agitated for * Professor, School of Law, University of Canterbury. -

5 weaPons of mass seduction Performing Pop Masculinity To all intents and purposes Harry Styles, unofficial frontman of internationally renowned boy band One Direction, could easily be mistaken for a young Mick Jagger (see Figure 5.1). The men’s good looks, broad smiles, matching windswept hair styles and shared fashion sensibilities bridge a 51-year age gap. Both are singers who have enjoyed the adoration of a passionate fan following, yet in terms of the version of masculinity each represents, the two could not be more different. While Jagger is openly admired by both sexes, few men admit to being fans of Harry Styles whose following is commonly depicted as restricted to teen and pre-teen females. Unlike the older man, Styles radiates a wholesome, good humoured exuberance, appears to genuinely like female company and is never happier than when exalting the women in his life. He also differs from the Rolling Stones leader in showing a marked preference for older female partners, whereas Jagger figure 5.1 Harry Styles. 84 Weapons of Mass Seduction is always seen in the company of much younger women.1 Jagger’s androgy- nous charm is tinged with danger and more than a hint of misogyny: he has a reputation for treating his partners callously, and from the outset, chauvinism themes of mistrust permeated the Rolling Stones’ songbook.2 The younger singer is also androgynous but his failure to comply with core characteristics of normative masculinity underscores much of the antipathy directed towards by critics, highlighting deeply entrenched prejudice against those who fail to comply with accepted expressions of gender. -
Contemporary China: a Book List
PRINCETON UNIVERSITY: Woodrow Wilson School, Politics Department, East Asian Studies Program CONTEMPORARY CHINA: A BOOK LIST by Lubna Malik and Lynn White Winter 2007-2008 Edition This list is available on the web at: http://www.princeton.edu/~lynn/chinabib.pdf which can be viewed and printed with an Adobe Acrobat Reader. Variation of font sizes may cause pagination to differ slightly in the web and paper editions. No list of books can be totally up-to-date. Please surf to find further items. Also consult http://www.princeton.edu/~lynn/chinawebs.doc for clicable URLs. This list of items in English has several purposes: --to help advise students' course essays, junior papers, policy workshops, and senior theses about contemporary China; --to supplement the required reading lists of courses on "Chinese Development" and "Chinese Politics," for which students may find books to review in this list; --to provide graduate students with a list that may suggest books for paper topics and may slightly help their study for exams in Chinese politics; a few of the compiler's favorite books are starred on the list, but not much should be made of this because such books may be old or the subjects may not meet present interests; --to supplement a bibliography of all Asian serials in the Princeton Libraries that was compiled long ago by Frances Chen and Maureen Donovan; many of these are now available on the web,e.g., from “J-Stor”; --to suggest to book selectors in the Princeton libraries items that are suitable for acquisition; to provide a computerized list on which researchers can search for keywords of interests; and to provide a resource that many teachers at various other universities have also used. -

Shadowrun: Hong Kong
SHADOWRUN HONG KONG MEL ODOM BASED ON A STORY BY HAREBRAINED SCHEMES PROLOGUE RAYMOND BLACK The Redmond Barrens Seattle United Canadian and American States 2044 I’ll never forget the night I met Raymond Black, mostly because I’d believed Duncan was going to die and leave me all alone. Raymond Black changed that. He changed a lot of things. Me and Duncan, we’d been alone for a long time. I was a couple years older than him, so I could remember back farther than he could, but every time I did, all I could recall were the foster homes I got bounced out of regularly. The longest I’d ever stayed in one was with the Croydon family for two years. They taught me how to pick pockets, hotwire a car, fight with a blade, and pick a lock. When I turned thirteen, I used those skills to get away from them and escape into the shadows. A few months after that, I found Duncan Wu living on dumpster food in an alley. He hadn’t run away from his foster home to find something better. He’d run for his life. His foster parents had set up a deal to sell him and the three other kids to a sex slave ring. He was the only one who’d gotten away. Part of me wanted to leave him there, but I couldn’t because I knew from the shape he was in, starving and covered in sores, he wouldn’t make it on his own. So I’d taken him with me, fed him, sheltered him, and gotten him as healthy as we could be under the circumstances. -
Shirt Movements in Interwar Europe: a Totalitarian Fashion
Ler História | 72 | 2018 | pp. 151-173 SHIRT MOVEMENTS IN INTERWAR EUROPE: A TOTALITARIAN FASHION Juan Francisco Fuentes 151 Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain [email protected] The article deals with a typical phenomenon of the interwar period: the proliferation of socio-political movements expressing their “mood” and identity via a paramilitary uniform mainly composed of a coloured shirt. The analysis of 34 European shirt movements reveals some common features in terms of colour, ideology and chronology. Most of them were consistent with the logic and imagery of interwar totalitarianisms, which emerged as an alleged alternative to the decaying bourgeois society and its main political creation: the Parliamentary system. Unlike liBeral pluralism and its institutional expression, shirt move- ments embody the idea of a homogeneous community, based on a racial, social or cultural identity, and defend the streets, not the Ballot Boxes, as a new source of legitimacy. They perfectly mirror the overwhelming presence of the “brutalization of politics” (Mosse) and “senso-propaganda” (Chakhotin) in interwar Europe. Keywords: fascism, Nazism, totalitarianism, shirt movements, interwar period. Resumo (PT) no final do artigo. Résumé (FR) en fin d’article. “Of all items of clothing, shirts are the most important from a politi- cal point of view”, Eugenio Xammar, Berlin correspondent of the Spanish newspaper Ahora, wrote in 1932 (2005b, 74). The ability of the body and clothing to sublimate, to conceal or to express the intentions of a political actor was by no means a discovery of interwar totalitarianisms. Antoine de Baecque studied the political dimension of the body as metaphor in eighteenth-century France, paying special attention to the three specific func- tions that it played in the transition from the Ancien Régime to revolutionary France: embodying the state, narrating history and peopling ceremonies. -

INTRODUCTION By Diana Nyad For two decades, the GENDER IN TELEVISED SPORTS report has tracked the progress— as well as the lack of progress—in the coverage of women’s sports on television news and highlights shows. One of the positive outcomes derived from past editions of this valuable study has been a notable improvement in the often‐derogatory ways that sports commentators used to routinely speak of women athletes. The good news in this report is that there is far less insulting and overtly sexist treatment of women athletes than there was twenty or even ten years ago. -
