Compensating inequalities in secondary education in France: studies from the PISA, CEDRE and TALIS surveys
2017
The fight against educational inequality is one of the foundational principles of education in France. Implementing equal opportunity and the fight against social and geographical inequality are inscribed in the first article in the Code of Education. However, educational inequality persists and has continued to increase these past years. Using data sets from threedifferent international and national evaluations (PISA, Cedre, and TALIS), this dissertation seeks to bring a new perspective on the reduction of inequality for students enrolled in secondary education in France.
Il femminismo islamico in Egitto. Donne, religione e giustizia di genere
2019
نسوية إسلامية، جندر، مساواة، اميمة أبو بكر، مصر La lotta per l’uguaglianza di genere coinvolge donne di tutte le parti del mondo. Una delle manifestazioni di questa mobilitazione globale è il femminismo islamico. Si tratta di un appello aperto che vuole unire donne che si battono per penetrare le mura del discorso religioso dominato dagli uomini. Questo libro racconta l’esperienza delle femministe islamiche con focus sul contesto egiziano e sulla voce di Omaima Abou-Bakr. La ricerca e l’azione di questa studiosa e femminista dimostrano il potenziale esplosivo che le donne musulmane portano con sé in quanto soggetti attivi capaci di produrre conoscenza religiosa alternativa favorevole alla g…

Justice et inégalités: un amendement à la théorie de John Rawls
1992
National audience; On se demande si les principes de justice de Rawls ne sont pas exagérément inégalitaires, malgré leur côté "juste". On examine donc ce qu'il advient de l'optimum de Rawls, le maximin, quand de l'aversion pour l'inégalité" apparaît. Le maximin consiste à se placer sur un certain point de la courbe d'efficience, en admettant une certaine dose d'inégalité, pourvu que l'on donne le maximum possible aux plus défavorisés. On tient compte d'externalités en reprenant la notion d'envie sous la forme d'une aversion pour l'inégalité, essentiellement de la part des plus défavorisés. On ne peut plus raisonner sur la courbe frontière des rémunérations possibles et on démontre la validi…
TOURISM, CHARITY, AND FATHERS’ FUNDRAISING STRATEGIES FOR THEIR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION ON THE KENYAN COAST
2018
Increasing empirical evidence shows that child-raising and children’s formal education are influenced by and embedded in cross-border processes and constellations. In Kenya’s South Coast region, widespread support for children’s education is taking place through the long-term relationships local men and women are establishing with tourists from the global North. In this regard, seemingly casual beach encounters initiated by local fathers — who invite western tourist acquaintances to visit their villages and homes — have become a common parental strategy for engaging with tourists who have the potential to become sponsors for their children. In this article we look at the social, economic, a…
Lisää taitoja ja mahdollisuuksia varhaiskasvatukseen: Tavoitteena tasa-arvoisempi ja kielitietoisempi varhaiskasvatus
2021
Kasvatuksellisen ja koulutuksellisen tasa-arvon toteutuminen monikielistyvässä Suomessa edellyttää entistä kielitietoisempaa varhaiskasvatusta (Puukko ym., 2019). Monikulttuurisuuden kohtaaminen on arvioitu yhdeksi keskeisimmäksi varhaiskasvatuksen tulevaisuuden osaamistaidoksi (Karila ym., 2013), ja monikielisyyden lisääntyminen haastaa ja kannustaa kehittämään entistä sensitiivisempiä, vuorovaikutuksellisia pedagogisia käytänteitä (Karila, 2016). Teimme keväällä 2017 verkkokyselyn, jonka tavoitteena oli kerätä tietoa ja näkökulmia monikielisyyden kohtaamisesta sekä kielitietoisista työskentelytavoista suomalaisessa varhaiskasvatuksessa. Kysely oli suunnattu monikielisessä lapsiryhmässä ty…
Fixed point iterative schemes for variational inequality problems
2018
In a wide class of evolutionary processes, the problem of computing the solutions of an initial value problem is encountered. Here, we consider projected dynamical systems in the sense of \cite{Daniele} and references therein. Precisely, a projected dynamical system is an operator which solves the initial value problem: \begin{equation}\label{PDS}\frac{dx(t)}{dt}= \Pi_{\mathbb{K}}\left(x(t),-F(x(t))\right), \quad x(0)=x_0 \in \mathbb{K}, \, t \in [0,+\infty[,\tag{P}\end{equation} where $\mathbb{K}$ is a convex polyhedral set in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $F: \mathbb{K} \to \mathbb{R}^n$ and $\Pi_{\mathbb{K}}: \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{K} \to \mathbb{R}^n$ is given as follows $\Pi_{\mathbb{K}}(x,-F(x))…
Women in physics: A comparison to science, technology, engineering, and math education over four decades
2016
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Gender in Physics.] The dearth of women in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields has been lamented by scholars, administrators, policymakers, and the general public for decades, and the STEM gender gap is particularly pronounced in physics. While previous research has demonstrated that this gap is largely attributable to a lack of women pursuing physics in college, prior research reveals little in terms of the characteristics and career interests of women who do plan to major in physics or how these traits have evolved over time. To address these gaps, this study utilized nationwide data on first-time, full-time college stu…

Globalization and Female Labor Force Participation in Developing Countries: An Empirical (Re-)Assessment
2017
We investigate the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) and trade, as two measures of globalization, on female labor force participation rate in a sample of 80 developing countries over the time period 1980–2005. Contrary to the mainstream view in the literature, which is mainly based on country-case studies or simple cross-country variation, we find that both, FDI and trade have a generally negative impact on female labor force participation. While the impact is of negligible economic size, it is stronger for younger cohorts, possibly reflecting a higher return to education in open economies. We further find a large degree of cross-regional heterogeneity and that the effect of globali…
