Activists, policy makers, and legislators who were concerned with securing greater equality between women and men had made many advances in terms of putting women’s rights on the legislative agenda, but integrating a gen- der perspective into all areas of policy and decision-making was lagging far behind. This was the main impetus for creating the first edition of Gender Mainstreaming in Practice: A Handbook. When this handbook was first tested with practitioners in the summer of 2001, the response was tre- mendous. Acknowledged as a unique collection of practical guidelines and theoretical background information that provided a necessary hand-hold for taking up the challenge of gender mainstream- ing in day-to-day work, the Handbook was translated fully or partially into many languages of the region, including Albanian, Latvian, Russian, Ukrainian, Turkmen, Uzbek, Slovak and Romanian, to name just a few. A modestly updated second edition was published to meet demand. Considerable progress has been made in the area of gender equality in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the CIS since Gender Mainstreaming in Practice: A Handbook was first published. Yet, this has been matched by new circumstances and emerging challenges. This shifting terrain has demanded that our strategies for enhancing gender equality be flexible, innovative, and persistent. It has become clear that the potential of gender mainstreaming is great and that it could be explored in new ways to do an even better job of meeting the needs of users. In addition, the demand from practitioners in both UNDP offices and our government counterpart institutions for effective tools that can facilitate gender mainstreaming has remained high. Therefore, in the summer of 2005, an experts’ group meeting was convened in Bratislava. Based on the results of a survey of Handbook users and the experts’ own recommendations, a major overhaul to the Handbook was initiated. This meeting marked the beginning of a two-year review and revision process made possible by the financial support of the Bureau for Development Policy, Gender Thematic Trust Fund. It is with great pleasure – and with renewed dedication to improving the lives of women and men, girls and boys in the region – that we bring you the third edition of Gender Mainstreaming in Practice. The handbook has been expanded to become a Toolkit to include a larger diversity of tools, as it was acknowledged that not all sections would be relevant in all situations. The Toolkit is divided into two parts: the first of these is comprised of the methodological sections. Part two including the Gender Briefs has been made available to you on CD. In an effort to make the Toolkit regionally specific and practically oriented, approximately 25 actual case studies of experiences in gender mainstreaming and gender initiatives from throughout the region have been collected and integrated into the Toolkit. A revised and expanded Introduction has been included that places gender mainstreaming firmly in the context of gender equality chal- lenges and opportunities in Europe and the CIS. The section on 10 Steps for Integrating Gender Mainstreaming in Your Work has been significantly edited and expanded to include case studies and examples relevant to the region. A new section Gender Equality: Basic Principles has been added as a “primer” for users with less familiarity with the key concepts and theories that ground gender equality policy. Gender Analysis: A Brief Guide is no longer an annex but a section in its own right. It has been substantially reworked and revised, and includes new case studies and exam- ples. The collection of Gender Briefs includes new briefs on HIV/AIDS, Private Sector Development, Energy and Environment and significantly revised versions of Labour, Poverty and Macroeconomics and Trade. The brief on the Military and Defence has been revised to include a wider crises preven- tion and recovery perspective. All of the Briefs have been updated and revised by experts. 4 Gender Mainstreaming in Practice: A Toolkit Finally, we found that the work of collecting case studies and examples in the region was more chal- lenging than expected. While we collected many useful examples of gender interventions, the rare examples of fully mainstreamed projects underscored the fact that we still have a long way to go in mainstreaming gender into the projects and programmes. There is a large need to scale up the work on gender both on the regional and global levels. As you can see from the list of acknowledgements, the production of this toolkit has demanded the work and devotion of many people during its drafting, peer review, and editing phases. We are tre- mendously grateful to everyone who shared their perspectives and skills through comments, feed- back and advice, to make the toolkit into the diverse and rich collection of knowledge that it is.

  • Code-Switching As a Conversational Strategy: Evidence from Greek Students in Edinburgh
    Code-switching as a conversational strategy: evidence from Greek students in Edinburgh Exam number: 0969692 MSc in Applied Linguistics The University of Edinburgh 2010 Abstract Fundamental questions like ‘why do people code-switch’ and ‘what are the functions of this linguistic phenomenon’ have always preoccupied researchers in the field. The present study aims to give an account for these questions examining a group of Greek students in Edinburgh. Ten hours of recorded conversations were analysed for the purposes of the study. Following a conversation analytic approach this project seeks to illustrate how and why Greeks employ code-switching, both when they form a group on their own and when they interact with other non-Greek speakers. It was found that in both situations, the speakers employed code-switching for purposes of quotation, self-repair and for reference to culturally linked items with the one or the other culture; however, in the second situation, CS was used for a variety of different functions, e.g. contextualisation of solidarity; but not only that, as the patterns observed in the participant constellation are very diverse and perplexed. A sequential analysis brings about the meaning of code-switching in the aforementioned situations. Acknowledgements I would like to thank my friends and participants at the same time, who kindly agreed to take part in this study; without them this thesis could not have been written. I am also grateful to my supervisor John Joseph, for his guidance. A great debt of thanks to my fellow classmates, especially Ioanna, Manuela and Maria; their help and encouragement has been invaluable throughout the year.
