How would a case study look from a feminist perspective?Wallin, Ellen January 2016 (has links)
The issue addressed in this article is how a feminist case study would look like. This includes that the one who does the research, the purpose of the study, the content of the study and to whom the case study contributes should have feminist perspectives in order to be a feminist study. The case studies mapped in this article are limited to case studies about leadership, education and organizations. By analysing 20 different case studies with feminist point of views, I concluded that feminist case studies often includes gender inequality issues like acceptation of gender inequalities or gender employment discrimination but some of them cover how feminism ideology in organizations operate.

Choice, Chance, or Circumstance: A Qualitative Study of Never-Married and Once-Married Women's Marriage Beliefs in MidlifeSoukup, Karla S. Jr. 24 April 1998 (has links)
Although previous research on singlehood has often focused on middle-class career women, little is known about the life experiences of non-career path single women. This study examined the core marriage beliefs of never-married and once-married child-free, midlife women and the ways in which those beliefs have evolved over time. The sample consisted of 10 women, 5 never-married and 5 once-married between the ages of 35 and 48. For the purposes of this inquiry, non-career path was co-determined on the basis of occupation and educational background.
The theoretical framework that guided this study combined a life course approach with a feminist perspective. Respondents were recruited through extensive networking and the sampling technique of snowballing. A qualitative methodology was employed utilizing the research strategy of in-depth interviewing. Data were analyzed on the basis of emergent themes and patterns.
This study produced 3 salient findings. First, the process of forming core marriage beliefs is similar between never-married and once-married women. Although an experience of marrying (or an experience of not marrying) may change the way a woman views herself within the context of her marital beliefs, those core marital beliefs do not necessarily change. Second, whether never-married or once-married, single midlife women live ambivalent lives: acknowledging their singlehood status while simultaneously remaining hopeful of attaining a marital union. Finally, women made a clear distinction between getting married and marrying successfully. While most believed that getting married was a choice, having a successful marriage was a result of chance. Despite this appraisal, the ideal of marriage remained pervasive regardless of age or past experience. / Master of Science

Women Recreating their Lives: Challenges and Resilience in MidlifeRogers, Linda Peterson 28 April 2000 (has links)
This research explores how midlife women found the strength and resilience that enabled them to rebound and grow as they negotiated significant life challenges in their marriage, and with their children, parents, careers, and health. Using a family resilience framework grounded in systems theory with a feminist perspective, the researcher conducted in-depth interviews with 18 diverse women between the ages of 40 and 60 years in different regions of the United States. The phenomenological method of inquiry allowed the researcher to gather the experiences of midlife women in order to understand the protective processes of resilience for overcoming adversity.
Three research questions guided this study: (1) How have women dealt with an adverse experience or challenging transition in their adult married life and where did the strength or resilience they needed to rise above it come from? (2) How did they use their resilience in challenging situations? (3) How did this challenging experience influence their marriage and how was the experience affected by their marriage?
Results suggest that the participants' core beliefs facilitated how they made meaning of their struggle and influenced their response to their challenges. The themes they discussed fell into beliefs that were organized as affiliative values, facilitative beliefs and transcendent spiritual beliefs. These belief systems described how they made sense of their challenges.
Themes related to the importance of connectedness and relationships also occurred frequently in the narratives of these midlife women as they developed resilience. As expected, marriage was important to the majority of the women as they discussed the importance of emotional support, but their sense of well-being was also greatly influenced by other close relationships in their communities with friends, family, children, and role models. Work and education emerged as significant themes in the women's appraisal of their challenges, beliefs, and connectedness as they described their sense of resilience. Resilience was fostered when these women made connections between their past, present, and future and integrated their experiences, their beliefs, relationships, and resources. / Ph. D.

Physical Abuse Tendencies Among Males: Initial Development and Validation of the Likelihood to Physically AbuseRiley, Christina Elisabeth 01 April 2018 (has links)
Male-perpetrated intimate partner violence (IPV) against women remains as a pervasive and detrimental issue both in the United States and globally. Researchers, counselors, and others often develop psychological measures to help understand the causes of IPV in an effort to prevent this issue from occurring. Debate still persists within IPV research as to the definitive factors that contribute to the perpetration of IPV. The socio-feminist perspective remains as the predominant theoretical basis that drives IPV research and understanding. Despite this, no psychological measure grounded in this theory that predicts IPV perpetration proclivities has been developed and validated to date. The purpose of the current project was to develop and validate a psychological measure that predicts a likelihood to physically abuse a female intimate partner among heterosexual men – the Likelihood to Physically Abuse (LPA) scale. The development of which followed the methods of previously developed and validated measures of likelihood to rape and likelihood to sexually harass. Two studies were conducted that utilized two, independent and samples of adult, English-speaking American men. Study I involved a review of the literature to develop the LPA scale and initial internal reliability testing. Two hundred men were recruited using Qualtrics and were administered the LPA scale online. In Study II, three hundred men were recuited using Qualtrics and were administered the LPA scale along with other measures related to male-perpetrated IPV online. The purpose of the second study was to further test the internal reliability of the LPA scale and test the construct and external validity of this measure. The results from both studies demonstrated good internal reliability and initial evidence for good construct validity of the LPA scale. The LPA scale was concluded to show promising reliability and validity. However, the external validity results require further investigation. Implications for future IPV research and applications, and limitations are discussed.

Reproductive Injustice: Abortion Restrictions and Maternal Mortality RatesAyala, Calinda Carolina 13 February 2025 (has links)
This research establishes a statistically significant connection between maternal mortality rates and abortion restrictions from a reproductive injustice perspective, integrating the theory of necropolitics. Using a time-series cross-sectional analysis of all 50 U.S. states from 2009 to 2019, this study highlights the impact of restrictive abortion policies during a period of intensified legislative activity, including pre-abortion counseling requirements, TRAP laws, and trigger laws. Data from the Guttmacher Institute's hostility scale and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation's maternal mortality statistics reveal that states with higher hostility toward abortion experienced increased maternal mortality. Notably, a 1% increase in state hostility is associated with a 0.45% rise in overall maternal mortality rates (p < 0.001). The analysis further demonstrates that each marginalized racial and ethnic group examined face heightened risks from higher abortion hostility, with maternal mortality rising among Hispanic women by 0.40% (p < 0.001); among non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaskan Native women increasing by 0.29% (p < 0.05); among non-Hispanic Asian, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacfic Islander women by 0.53% (p < 0.001); and non-Hispanic Black women by 0.39% (p < 0.001) per 1% increase in state hostility. However, the largest increase was found among non-Hispanic White women (p < 0.001). This study contributes to reproductive justice scholarship by incorporating a feminist and sociological perspective on the relationship between abortion restrictions and maternal mortality, particularly as moderated by race and ethnicity. The findings call for urgent policy interventions to dismantle systemic inequities in healthcare access, ensuring the protection of reproductive rights and the reduction of maternal mortality across all communities. / Master of Science / This study explores how abortion restrictions affect maternal mortality rates in the United States, focusing on the period between 2009 and 2019. It shows that stricter abortion laws, such as requirements for pre-abortion counseling, targeted regulations on abortion providers, and laws designed to ban abortion if federal protections are overturned, are linked to higher maternal death rates. States with more restrictive abortion policies had notable increases in maternal mortality, with even greater risks for certain racial and ethnic groups. For example, for every 1% increase in state-level hostility toward abortion, overall maternal mortality rose by 0.45%. The impact was pronounced for Hispanic women, non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaskan Native women, non-Hispanic Black women, and non-Hispanic Asian, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander women. Among non-Hispanic White women, the increase was even greater. By examining the relationship between abortion restrictions and maternal health through a feminist and sociological lens, this research highlights systemic inequalities in healthcare access. The findings emphasize the need for policies that protect reproductive rights and improve maternal health outcomes for all communities, especially those historically underserved.

Mental Health of Coloured Female Teachers Working in Historically Disadvantaged Special Schools in the Cape MetropoleSwartz-Filies, Sylnita Phillippine January 2017 (has links)
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD (Education) / The World Health Organisation defines mental health as "a state of well-being in which the
individual realizes her or his own abilities, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able
to make a contribution to her or his community" (WHO, 2001, p. 1). There is a paucity of
academic research about the mental health status of minority groups, especially women of
colour (Moultrie & Kleintjes, 2006). In South Africa too, this gap in research is evident when
focussing on the mental health of women, especially Coloured women in South Africa.
Women's health and their mental health in particular are often affected by the way society
treats and regards them; often they suffer from emotional, mental and physical exhaustions.
This study investigated the mental health status of Coloured female teachers working in
historically disadvantaged Special Schools in the Cape Metropole of the Western Cape
Education Department. This group designation is the designation that was formally used
during South Africa's Apartheid past policies of segregation in categorising groups
according to pre-determined race categories. Coloureds where then considered to be a
minority grouping in South Africa. Reference is still currently made in democratic South
Africa to the Apartheid race categorisations in contemporary formal policies that seek to
redress the inequities of the past, both in terms of race as well as gender categories
(Conway-Smith, 2011; Stromquist, 1998). Given the intimate association between race and
identity, especially within a socio-historical context such as that of South Africa, it is
reasonable to consider the impact of this association on an individual's mental health status.

Social Change through Decolonizing Entrepreneurship Education : Norm Critical Perspectives in the Swedish University Context / Samhällsförändring genom entreprenörskapsutbildning : Normkritiska perspektiv inom den svenska UniversitetkontextenMasoominejad, Sahar, Stjernquist, Cecilia January 2024 (has links)
Entrepreneurship discourse constructs a specific sphere that prioritizes the dominance of the Western male perspective in Western dialogues. The discourse of how an entrepreneur comes into being has transformed from the perception that an entrepreneur is made from birth, to recognizing that an entrepreneur becomes, through life situations, opportunities and the social and political embeddedness.This study embraces the viewpoint that entrepreneurship is a pursuit infused with ethical and aesthetic dimensions, involving a departure from established norms of normalcy, naturalness, and necessity. The authors seekto explore the intersection of decolonizing pedagogy and EntrepreneurshipEducation within the Swedish university context. By examining the content and pedagogy of an entrepreneurship program through the lens of a norm critical pedagogical perspective, this study aims to contribute to the advancement of inclusive and socially responsible education within the Swedish higher education system. Further on, feminist perspective is used to critically analyze how scientific knowledge and practices have been influenced by and continue to perpetuate gender biases, inequalities, and male-dominated ideologies.The central question guiding this thesis is: How can decolonizing Entrepreneurship Education lead to social change? Using qualitative methods, this study provides a nuanced understanding of Entrepreneurship Education at Linnaeus University and its potential to foster social responsibility and inclusivity. To answer the research question, we conducted interviews with two teachers and a former Program Director at an entrepreneurship program. Additionally, we held a focus group interview with students and an individual interview with one student. With the current EE landscape often perpetuating gender biases, inequalities, and male-dominated ideologies, particularly within Western contexts, it poses significant challenges in creating an inclusive and socially responsible educational framework. The findings, derived from 2thematic analysis, indicate that Entrepreneurship Education is undergoing a transformation. This transformation is challenged by its capacity to drive social progress amidst enduring rigid structures of higher education hindering the implementation of norm-critical pedagogy, which further highlights the need for a deeper pedagogical shift towards decolonization and inclusivit
