"Hva mener dere med likestilling, da?" : overføring av kunnskap om likestilling mellom kjønn i spenningsfeltet mellom ord og handling
2013
Published version of a chapter in the book: Likestilling 2013 : kunnskap og innovasjon på Agder, redigert av Hanne Stousland og Hilde Witsø. Dette kapitlet er et bidrag i debatten om hvordan lærerutdanningsinstitusjoner kan tilrettelegge for opplæring i likestillingsspørsmål. Vi har gjennom et prosjekt fulgt tre studenter som har prøvd ut de likestillingsverktøyene som er utarbeidet av Fritt valg i ungdomsskolen. En modell for taus kunnskap er brukt for å analysere resultatene fra undersøkelsen, og det er funnene fra denne analysen som presenteres her. Det ene funnet er at Fritt valgs likestillingsverktøy er gode metodiske hjelpemidler til å bringe tema om likestilling på banen i skolen. De…
Moral values, empathy and identification with fictional characters: the representative universe at “Cuéntame cómo pasó” (TVE)
2012
En la presente investigación se muestran los resultados de un estudio de base experimental sobre el análisis de los valores morales presentes en la serie emitida por Televisión Española “Cuéntame cómo pasó”. La discusión se centra en los valores morales como el aspecto nuclear de este constructo audiovisual, en especial en su posible correlación con la identificación de los personajes y la empatía ficcional del formato. En el estudio participaron 47 estudiantes universitarios y 36 personas de más edad, quienes fueron sometidos a unos cuestionarios analíticos anteriores y posteriores al visionado de dos capítulos de la serie televisiva. Tras la aplicación pre-test y post-test de la Escala de…
Regional gender inequality in the Norwegian culture of equality
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Gender Issues. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12147-014-9131-0 This research project has its origin in statistical findings indicating that there has been a long-standing regional variation in the attainment of gender equality in Norway whereby the southern region has been identified as the least gender-equal. This is likely to be caused by an interaction of economic, political and cultural structures. Nevertheless, the understanding of this phenomenon remains incomplete since the cultural dimension too often ends up as a residual category or a dependent variable. The project seeks to explore the cultural dime…

A study of women's roles and performances in Vedic rites
Now you see me, now you don’t: applying automated content analysis to track migrant women’s salience in German news
2020
Reading media headlines and articles about migration, one quickly gets the impression that the media discourse is focussed on migrant men. To investigate to what extend this perception actually hol...
Gender Equality and Maternal Burnout: A 40-Country Study
2022
International audience; In Western countries, recent decades have witnessed a revolution toward gender equality. Inequalities have been greatly reduced in areas such as education or employment. Because inequalities lead to distress, this development has largely benefited women. One notable exception is the realm of parenting, which has remained rife with inequalities even in the most egalitarian countries. We hypothesized that experiencing inequality in parenting when one holds egalitarian values and raising a child in a country characterized by a high level of gender equality in other areas, increases mothers’ psychological distress in the specific area of parenting. Multilevel modeling an…
Parental and Familial Factors Influencing Physical Activity Levels in Early Adolescence: A Prospective Study
2020
Parental/familial factors are important determinants of the physical activity level (PAL) in children and adolescents, but studies rarely prospectively evaluate their relationships. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in physical activity levels among adolescents from Bosnia and Herzegovina over a two-year period and to determine parental/familial predictors of PAL in early adolescence. A total of 651 participants (50.3% females) were tested at baseline (beginning of high school education
Roman Women e Public History: la creatività del Web
2018
Partendo dal dibattito sviluppatosi negli USA alla metà degli Anni Settanta sulla condizione femminile nel mondo antico, l’articolo sottolinea che ha contribuito a dare una lettura articolata dell’immagine delle donne romane. Ciò ha inciso non solo sulla storiografia posteriore, bensì oltre, come si ricava da alcuni recenti video YouTube sulle Roman Women, rinvenibili in rete. Essi mostrano la creatività dei loro autori, i loro diversi livelli di conoscenza e capacità tecniche. D’altro lato, proiettano lo spettatore nella vita quotidiana delle donne dell’antica Roma. In tal senso, questo genere di produzione può essere considerato un ottimo esempio di Public History applicata e risultare ef…
Dénonciation, régulation et réforme du droit de la famille par les groupes de pères séparés : ce que nous apprend la comparaison France-Québec
2016
The recent mobilization of estranged fathers in France is the expression of a cause that emerged in the 1970s, following the feminist mobilizations of that time. InEurope, as in North America, these groups denounced a family justice that seemingly favours women by awarding them custody of the children and by relegatingfathers to provider status, in terms of child-support payments. While these fathers hold egalitarian claims in promoting the sharing of a child’s education after the parents’ separation, their actions and discourses effectively support the traditional family unit by denouncing the ‘‘catastrophic’’ consequences of divorce on children. In light of a France-Que´bec comparison, we…
Displaying morally responsible motherhood : lone mothers accounting for work during non-standard hours
2020
This study examined how lone mothers rationalise their work during non-standard hours (e.g., evenings and weekends), which they perceive as problematic in terms of child wellbeing, and thereby as violating the culturally shared moral order of ‘good’ motherhood. The data comprise interviews with 16 Finnish lone mothers, analysed as accounts, with a special focus on their linguistic features. The mothers displayed morally responsible motherhood through: (1) excusing work during non-standard hours as an external demand; (2) appealing to an inability to act according to good mothering ideals; (3) using adaptive strategies to protect child wellbeing; and (4) challenging the idea of risk. Our fin…
