The main body outlines the research de- sign and key findings of the study to illustrate how men and women experience the city differently. The themes address public urban life in relation to entertainment, safety, reputation, accessibility, mobility, comfort and discomfort, privacy, facili- ties, gender separation, and young single men. Af- ter, more practical guidelines are presented as food for thought for the design of more gender-inclu- sive public spaces in Amman. These come with a question pool as well as an ethnographic guide for further independent research. Combined, they are directed to urban practitioners and urban scholars to ensure that a gender lens can be applied to a va- riety of public space projects. Finally, this report is accompanied by a fairly extensive analysis of five case studies, presented as urban ethnographies.

As a female architect and heritage expert that grew up and studied in this city, I am cons- tantly reminded that the newly emerging city of Amman of the sixties managed rather successful- ly to accommodate the diverse groups of urban dwellers and members of a family including their females. My aunts’s accounts of the late sixties and early seventies reflect that they owned and shared their right in the streets of Amman. Pioneer donor-driven projects tackling open space in the heart of our cities and in Amman did not consider seriously the social construct, including gender, and proceeded to look at the need for pu- blic space primarily to accommodate tourists or visitors. Societies were summed up rather as a be- neficiary to an economical asset or lucky dwellers of a physically facelifted open network, with no clear accountability to their cultural, societal nor gender needs. I strongly believe that the topic of gender and space needs to be tackled within a holi- stic social construct that allows for the minorities, youth, and diverse groups to coexist, and any pro- posal needs to respond to their diverse, complex, common, and conflicting needs or rights. I hope that with more research and knowledge the term gender/planning/space does not adopt only a limited viewpoint but approaches space planning - creating or recreating of new or old open pub- lic spaces - with further acknowledgment to our local and cultural context so that it moves from a critique of gender to a more constructive contri- bution. 8 9 FOREWORD BY DR.

She has it on a multiplicity of levels, the social dimension worked on a variety of aspects related to public space and is cur- remains the most intricate. Social structures and rently exploring the dimensions of associated social norms have played a significant gender and transport in Amman. role on how space in general is experienced, howe- ver, and due to both the visual and physical perme- ability of public space, the manifestations of such social dimensions have been easier to observe and thus interpret in the public realm. Looking at public space in Amman - in every sense of the term - may entail a magnitude of effort in order to identify what may constitute as an open space and what may not in the first place accor- ding to the city’s context specifics, especially that the Middle Eastern city of Amman does not repre- sent the typical Western case often demonstrated in the majority of available published work. Thus, further research is constantly in demand to inves- tigate such contexts in order to inform the ‘univer- sal’ understanding for the concept of public space. Similarly, considering gender is a socially const- ructed phenomenon and as male and female users experience public spaces differently, it has been long discussed that the physical and non-physical attributes of public space may contribute to the creation of safer and more inclusive environments and making the shift from ‘gendered’ to ‘just’ spa- ces. In order to achieve such endeavours as part of the larger quest of achieving spatial justice and to bring gender equalities to our cities, however, more awareness is required and more attempts to unravel the public space from a gender lens are be- coming more urgent. 8 9 INTRODUCTION BY RAHEL HERMANN Rahel Hermann is the manager „Incidents of harassment that occur inside [public of the ILCA project.

  • Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts
    Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts Shahnaz Begum Laghari PhD University of York Women’s Studies March 2016 Abstract The aim of this project is to investigate the phenomenon of honour-related violence, the most extreme form of which is honour killing. The research was conducted in Sindh (one of the four provinces of Pakistan). The main research question is, ‘Are these killings for honour?’ This study was inspired by a need to investigate whether the practice of honour killing in Sindh is still guided by the norm of honour or whether other elements have come to the fore. It is comprised of the experiences of those involved in honour killings through informal, semi- structured, open-ended, in-depth interviews, conducted under the framework of the qualitative method. The aim of my thesis is to apply a feminist perspective in interpreting the data to explore the tradition of honour killing and to let the versions of the affected people be heard. In my research, the women who are accused as karis, having very little redress, are uncertain about their lives; they speak and reveal the motives behind the allegations and killings in the name of honour. The male killers, whom I met inside and outside the jails, justify their act of killing in the name of honour, culture, tradition and religion. Drawing upon interviews with thirteen women and thirteen men, I explore and interpret the data to reveal their childhood, educational, financial and social conditions and the impacts of these on their lives, thoughts and actions.

Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL May 2019 Copyright 2019 by Grant C. Hester ii MALE BONDING: A QUEER ANALYSIS OF THE JAMES BOND CANON by Grant C. Hester This dissertation was prepared under the direction of the candidate's dissertation advisor, Dr. Jane Caputi, Center for Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Communication, and Multimedia and has been approved by the members of his supervisory committee. It was submitted to the faculty of the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters and was accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Khaled Sobhan, Ph.D. Interim Dean, Graduate College iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Jane Caputi for guiding me through this process. She was truly there from this paper’s incubation as it was in her Sex, Violence, and Hollywood class where the idea that James Bond could be repressing his homosexuality first revealed itself to me. She encouraged the exploration and was an unbelievable sounding board every step to fruition. Stephen Charbonneau has also been an invaluable resource. Frankly, he changed the way I look at film. His door has always been open and he has given honest feedback and good advice. Oliver Buckton possesses a knowledge of James Bond that is unparalleled. I marvel at how he retains such information.

  • Student Comments About Single Gender Social Organizations
    2016 Harvard College Prepared by HCIR STUDENT COMMENTS ABOUT SINGLE GENDER SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS Survey Comments from AY 2010-2011 through AY 2014-15 Survey Comments about Single Gender Social Organizations Please use the space below to elaborate on any of the questions on the survey and to comment on any other aspect of your undergraduate experience not covered in this questionnaire Socially, Harvard needs to address some social issues that they seem to neglect. I am deeply concerned about the house renovation projects, which, to my understanding, are essentially getting rid of private common rooms (replacing with "public" common rooms). In doing so, the university is naively and unrealistically not giving students ways to engage in social behaviors that college students will undeniably do. This also increases the demand and power of final clubs and other organizations that have great social spaces (pudding institute, lampoon, crimson, etc), which will exacerbate many of the negative social pressures that exist on campus (dynamics between final club students and others, gender-related issues - especially sexual assault, etc). The point is, Harvard needs to be mature about and accept the fact that college students engage in various social behaviors and thus do things to help students do these things in a safer and more accessible way. Pretending like they don't exist simply makes the situation worse and students have a much worse experience as a result. 2013-2014 Senior Male 1) I think there is a strong need for more final club/fraternity-type opportunities for undergraduate students. This experience is currently restricted to only a small percentage of the male student body, and could offer tremendous opportunities for growth.

  • Recensie: Tina Turner****1/2
    Recensie: Tina Turner****1/2 Sportpaleis Merksem donderdag 22 januari 2009 foto © Concertnieuws Recensie: Vernieuwend en indrukwekkend is de ganse show van Tina Turner. 5 Keer doet ze het Sportpaleis in Merksem aan. Ondertussen heeft de kranige 60er al 4 van haar Belgische concerten erop zitten. Op 30 april komt ze nog eens. De ticketverkoop ging ontzettend had vorig jaar. 5 Uitverkochte concerten zijn een knap resultaat en dat terwijl Turner de laatste jaren nauwelijks nieuwe nummers heeft uitgebracht. Hoeveel lokale kopieën van Turner moeten er niet op deze wereldbol rondlopen vraag ik me soms af. Onze eigenste Natalia wordt wel eens de Vlaamse Turner genoemd. Wel, we hebben haar al heel wat soloconcerten zien geven. Conclusie: in vergelijking met Turner is ze klein bier. De promoboys en-girls samen met enkele collega journalisten verzoeken we dan ook vriendelijk elke vergelijking vanaf nu te staken. Hoge veiligheidsvoorschriften in het Sportpaleis. Een zittend middenplein, voor de eerste rijen werd een rood lint gespannen. Het soort lint dat je op luchthavens vindt. Daarachter stond of zat en leger veiligheidsmensen. Ook in de zaal zelf zaten er een aantal of wandelden die rond. Zelfs rond de volgspotters op het balkon stond steevast veiligheidspersoneel. Op de tram hoorde ik enkele West-Vlamingen mopperen en zich vragen stellen waarom de dopjes van de flesjes water werden gedaan. Ook dat was een veiligheidsmaatregel. Bij Livenation die Rock Werchter organiseren, zijn ze de editie van 1991 nog lang niet vergeten. Toen vroeg Iggy Pop aan het publiek om met de plastiek flessen te smijten. Tijdens het concert van The Police en hun nummer "Message in a bottle“ vlogen de flesjes in de lucht.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Judith Smith, dated January 14, 2005.
