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…
Teoría de la educación : educación y cultura en la sociedad de la información
2008
La educación para la igualdad requiere de la implicación de todas y cada una de las agencias que participan de este proceso. En este trabajo hemos querido conocer en qué medida los videojuegos más vendidos y utilizados por la población infantil y juvenil transmiten contenidos que contribuyen a su educación para la igualdad o, por el contrario, la dificultan. Para ello hemos analizado el contenido de los diez videojuegos más jugados por menores y adolescente, atendiendo a los valores y disvalores que transmiten, centrando nuestra atención en la representación de modelos de mujer y roles de género. Por último, hemos tratado de establecer una serie de conclusiones y orientaciones pedagógicas, …
Progress towards sustainable agriculture – Drivers of change
2021
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 calls for global action to “end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture”. Meeting this challenge requires global partnerships to support more productive, nutritious and equitable food systems, while helping to conserve environmental resources and reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions responsible for global climate change. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) offers a global vision for a more sustainable agriculture that encompasses economic, social and environmental dimensions of food and agriculture systems. This technical study examines the key factors driving changes in…

Abstract Objectives To examine how gender functions in the narrative construction of dual career styles, and how these styles impact the (dis)continuation of a dual career pathway. Design Longitudinal qualitative study. Method Life story interviews with 18 talented Finnish athletes (10 cis women, 8 cis men) at four points in time – when they averaged 16, 17, 19, and 20 years of age – followed by an integrative narrative-discursive analysis. Results (a) contrapuntal style was gender-typically female; (b) monophonic style was gender-typically male; and (c) dissonant style was an important pathway to dual career discontinuation through which gender ideologies impacted the emergent adults with …
LGBTIQ+ break-up assemblages : At the end of the rainbow
2020
This article explores Finnish LGBTIQ+ people’s break-ups. The long battle for equal rights has placed LGBTIQ+ people’s relationships under pressure to succeed. Previous studies argue that partners in LGBTIQ+ relationships try to appear as ordinary and happy as possible, and remain silent about the challenges they face in their relationships. Consequently, they may miss out on opportunities to receive institutional and familial support. This study aims to move beyond recurrent frameworks that take the similarity or difference between LGBTIQ+ relationships/break-ups and mixed-sex relationships as a predefined point of departure. The analysis draws on ethnographic observations of relationship …

2014
Tomando como pretexto la teoría política de Walzer, el presente artículo pretende mostrar la necesidad de política en los tiempos y sociedades actuales.

Para ello trataremos de indagar en cuál es el papel de la política y cómo es su relación con la sociedad civil y otras esferas de actuación, poniendo en valor su necesidad. Using as a pretext Walzer’s political theory, this article aims to show the need for politics in our times and contemporary s…
North/south differences among Italian emerging adults regarding criteria deemed important for adulthood and life satisfaction
2016
The main goal of this study was to compare Northern and Southern Italian emerging adult university students, regarding the importance attributed to criteria for adulthood and the levels of life and education satisfaction. Self-report questionnaires were filled by 475 Northern and Southern Italian University students (Age M = 22.91, 76% females, n = 359). Multivariate analysis of variance revealed that Southern emerging adults were more likely to place importance on family capacities, norm compliance, interdependence and role transitions as criteria for achieving adulthood than Northern emerging adults. Regarding gender differences, females were more likely to believe in the importance of no…
The significance of student voice: female students’ interpretations of failure in Tanzanian secondary education

Abstract: In Tanzania, the national examinations are used as the primary tools for selection and transition from lower to upper secondary education. Female students are more likely to fail in the national exams and to drop out from education. This article examines the perspectives of female students concerning their advancement in secondary education. Two sets of qualitative data, responses to a research questionnaire from 100 female lower secondary school students and follow-up interviews with seven mature students enrolled in a non-formal school who had failed in the national examinations, were analysed to identify critical issues influencing the educational advancement of female students…
