The purpose of this study is to investigate the meaning of heteronormativity within the elementary special school. With the hope to contribute to an increased understanding of teachers work against heteronormative within the primary special school. The investigation is based on a phenomenographic research approach where the results are based on semi-structured qualitative interviews which have then been interpreted and analyzed with the help of the previous research and queer theory and crip theory. The previous research creates a image of a heterosexual elementary special school, where issues related to gender, family constellations, sexual orientation and LGBTQ issues are deprioritized in teaching. The main result shows that the teachers in this study is carrying out a constant norm-critical work regarding issues concerning gender, family constellations, sexual orientation and LGBTQ issues. Where the teachers strive to protect the students identities and the school's work to promote everyone’s special characteristics. However, it cannot be ignored that heteronormativity has a presence within the primary special school, mainly through an unawareness of heteronormativity within the teaching staff, but that there is indirect work against the heteronormativity with great development potential. Above all, the responsibility for the teaching of rights, the socialization task must be distributed more among all the subjects regarding the issues concerning gender, family constellations, sexual orientation, and LGBTQ issues. This is to be able to increase awareness of heteronormativity even more and to promote the norm-critical work within the primary special school.     Keywords Keywords: Social studies, Elementary special school, Intellectual disabilities, Gender, Family constellation, Sexual orientation, LGBTQI, Queer theory, Crip theory and Heteronormativity / Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka innebörden av heteronormen inom grundsärskolan så som det kommer till uttryck i lärares tal om sin undervisning. Där förhoppningen är att bidra till en ökad förståelse om lärares arbete mot heteronormen inom grundsärskolan. Undersökningen utgår ifrån en fenomenografisk forskningsansats där resultatet är baserat på semi-strukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer som sedan har analyserats med hjälp av den tidigare forskningen, samt queerteorin och cripteorin.   Den tidigare forskningen framhäver en bild av en heterosexuell särskolan, där frågor som berör genus, familjekonstellationer, sexuell läggning och hbtqi-frågor bortprioriteras i undervisningen.  Det huvudsakliga resultatet visar att lärarna i denna studie bedriver ett ständigt pågående normkritiskt arbete gällande frågor som berör genus, familjekonstellationer, sexuell läggning och hbtqi-frågor. Där lärarna eftersträvar att värna om elevernas identiteter och i synnerlighet, skolans arbete att främja varje enskild individ särskilda egenart. Det går dock inte bortse ifrån att samhällets heteronorm har en närvaro inom grundsärskolan, främst genom en omedvetenhet om heteronormen inom lärarkåren, men att det sker ett indirekt arbete mot heteronormen med utvecklingspotential. Där medvetenheten om hur genus, sexuell läggning, familjekonstellationer och hbtqi-frågor framhävs i undervisningen behöver ökas. Men där framför allt ansvaret för rättighetslärandet, fostransuppdraget måste fördelas mer bland samtliga ämnen gällande frågorna som berör genus, familjekonstellationer, sexuell läggning, samt hbtqi-frågor. Detta för att kunna öka medvetenheten om heteronormen än mer och främja det normkritiska arbetet inom grundsärskolan.      Nyckelord Nyckelord: Samhällskunskap, Grundsärskola, Intellektuella funktionsnedsättningar , Genus, Familjekonstellation, Sexuell läggning, HBTQI, Queerteori, Cripteori och Heteronormen.

This thesis aims to analyze and trace gender normativities and stereotypes in the testimoniesfrom the #metoo call #nödvärn (2017) and #nödvärn 2.0 (n.d) in Sweden within the policedepartment. This thesis includes a qualitative thematic analysis of the material combined witha positioning theory. The analysis is based on testimonies from #nödvärn and #nödvärn 2.0regarding harassments inside the Swedish police force. The theoretical framework in thisthesis are based on queer theory with concepts like gender norm, normativities andstereotyping that are illuminating in the material. The thesis also includes an intersectionalapproach to understand the hierarchical perspective between gender and sexuality that areconsisting through the material. This thesis contributes to research due to the missing LGBTQperspective. The analysis shows clearly stated gender stereotypes in both genders, but alsodifferent stereotypes according to status and sexuality in the testimonies. This with a strongconnection to the macho norm that are consisting throughout the previous research andanalysis, with other normativities illustrated such as gender normative and heteronormativity.Finally, there is a hierarchical level illustrated in the analysis related to inclusion andexclusion by categorization.

Although studies examining sexual assault among college students are vast, the literature is somewhat lacking in discussions of contextualized sexual assault predictors and their relationship with sexual assault prevention. The purpose of this study is to examine whether demographic factors, contextual factors, and behavioral factors effect sexual victimization on college campuses. In this examination, I hope to show that the presence of these factors may be related to sexual victimization; however their existence does not necessitate the use of victim blame. By reviewing sexual assault prevention programming on college and university campuses across the United States, I provide alternate explanations and possible solutions to the sexual victimization of students in higher education. This study used data from the American College Health Association Fall 2011 survey. In addition, a comparison is made to these data from an Executive Summary for Mississippi State University from the Spring 2013 ACHA survey period.

Selfministered mail questionnaires were sent to a stratified sample of 1,000 male and 1,000 female Mississippi resident licensed hunters to determine effect of gender on hunting motivations and substitutability of hunting. Exploratory factor analysis and analysis of covariance were used to analyze hunting motivations. Logistic regression was used to determine effects of 14 independent variables on probability of resident hunters reporting a substitute activity. Males and females differed on achievement-oriented “social recognition” and “seeking stimulation” motivations and on affiliative-oriented “family togetherness” motivations. Gender had no significant effect on resident hunter probability of reporting substitute activities. Age and importance of hunting as an outdoor activity had significant effects on probability of reporting substitute activities, with each being related positively to the response variable. Fishing was the most frequently reported substitute activity for males and females. However, females reported more substitute activities than males.

The literary criticism of the so-called cult of Southern femininity in the fiction and drama of Southern writers is well established. However, there is little criticism regarding these figures in Southern poetry. In response to this gap in scholarship, this study examines the changing representations of the belle or lady in Southern poetry from the early nineteenth through the mid-twentieth century. She appears in poems written by white and African American men and women from three distinct historical and literary periods in the South: the antebellum period, the post-bellum period, and the twentieth century. This study examines the manner in which these different groups of poets in each period represent her. The overall trend of Southern poetry’s portrayal of women through these periods is that it moves from an idealized and mythical image in the antebellum period to a more realistic image in the twentieth century.
