1	“It must be fun for you to help a bit on the farm” : A qualitative study of the social, institutional, and economic activities and roles of women and inclusion in livestock farming in southern Sweden Andersson, Julia January 2022 (has links) Farming women have between the year 1950 and the present time had to fight hard to participate in the farming sector in Sweden to the same extent as men. There are old, gendered biases towards women who labour on farms by people both on and outside the farms. Farm labour has been considered a “man’s work” and women were better suited to perform household labour. However, women have been recognised as proper farmers and official owners in recent years. The thesis examines the changes over time for Swedish farming women regarding their economic activities, institutional changes, and social changes that have had an impact on them. The thesis highlights factors that hinder gender equality and empowerment on farms. It also highlights elements that empower women to further establish themselves in farming. Both statistical data which brings concreteness to the research and interviews with farming women which brings a narrative has been included in the research. The findings have been analysed with the reproductive labour theory and the concept of patriarchy. Farming Women Gender Equality Patriarchy Agriculture Reproductive Labour.

2	“A Lifetime of Activism”: doing feminist men’s work from a social justice paradigm Rosenberg, Isaac 04 October 2017 (has links) This thesis focuses on the projects and experiences of social justice organizers who place an emphasis on working to address heteropatriarchy and its impacts, work that I call men’s work. In particular, these are organizers who take an intersectional, social justice approach to this work. In order to recognize who organizers are and the kinds of projects they engage in, I describe four major project themes within men’s work and briefly explore their potentials and pitfalls according to those who are involved in them. I then analyze a number of the various considerations, tensions, and difficulties that arise for these organizers, particularly the personal and interpersonal components. In order to support organizers to be resilient and successful when faced with these issues, I conclude by sharing a variety of ways they may choose to navigate the various complexities they encounter in their organizing and in their communities. / Graduate men masculinity feminism men's work activism social justice qualitative interviews political organizing women's studies action research activist feminist gender gender studies gender-based violence militant research movement-relevant theory violence organizers social justice paradigm thematic analysis reproductive labour men's groups personal work political education
