41	Livelihoods and gender: a case study on the coast of Southeastern Brazil Carpenter, Lydia 20 December 2011 (has links) This research explores the gendered intra-household livelihood dynamics of one coastal community in Paraty, Brazil. Exploring gender in the livelihoods context addresses the social context of gender roles and relations as they relate to small-scale agriculture, artisanal fishing, tourism and the larger livelihoods picture in one community. Project objectives included: 1) To examine how people in a small coastal community make their livelihood, 2) To analyze the influence of gender roles and relations and the division of labour in livelihood activities and on gender effects within the household or family unit, and 3) To explore prospects for future livelihood diversification sensitive to the influence of gender. Results show that individual and household livelihood portfolios are diverse and are highly dependent on the natural resource base. Gender relations and bargaining power depended on the diversity and type of livelihood activities practiced at the household and on an individual levels. Gender Geography

44	Gendering Human-Robot Interaction: exploring how a person's gender impacts attitudes toward and interaction with robots Wang, Yan January 2014 (has links) Developing an improved understanding and awareness of how gender impacts perceptions of robots and interactions with them is crucial for the ongoing advancement of the human-robot interaction (HRI) field, as a lack of awareness of gender issues increases the risk of robot rejection and poor performance. This thesis provides a theoretical grounding for gender-studies in HRI, and contributes to the understanding of how gender affects attitudes toward and interaction with robots via the findings from an on-line survey and a laboratory user study. We envision that this work will provide HRI designers with a foundation and exemplary account of how gender can influence attitudes toward and interaction with robots, serving as a resource and a sensitizing discussion for gender studies in HRI. gender HRI
