2020
The present study explored how the organisational and cultural experiences of a trainee Sport Psychology Consultant (SPC) working in professional football shaped her identity and professional development. Drawing on Cultural Sport Psychology (CSP) and gender performativity as guiding frameworks, we explored the first author’s identity development as a sport psychology practitioner-researcher within one professional football club over a 3-year duration. Traditional ethnographic data collection methods were employed, including, field notes and a reflective journal. Through creative non-fiction vignettes, we show that the traditional masculine discourse in professional football shaped the firs…
Zagraniczne migracje kobiet a problem rodziny i małżeństwa
2019
W artykule na podstawie badań jakościowych (wywiady, listy) i ilościowych przedstawiono refleksje i wspomnienia kobiet migrantek dotyczące ich rodzin i małżeństwa. Podejmując się analizy teoretycznej tych badań, wzięto pod uwagę teorię roli jako narzędzie do wyjaśniania zjawisk. Teoria ta została zmodyfikowana poprzez dodanie innych, pozaludzkich (non-human) partnerów roli, wobec których rola migrantki jest konstruowana i odgrywana. Wyjazd za granicę nie rozwiązuje konfliktu między rolami rodzinnymi, małżeńskimi a zawodowymi, może go jedynie nasilać.

Gender violence in migration: Voices of migrant women in Sicily
2015
Migrant women constitute a growing reality in Italy, also with reference to violence among family members. In particular, violence endured by the foreign female takes on a character of ‘dual violence,’ the violence experienced within the relationship is supplemented by the violence from the social context, which often isolates her, or even expels her following her ‘coming out into the open.’ The article presents extensive reflections emerging from the results of research carried out in 2012 in Sicily, aiming to explore the experience and perception of family violence and the possible influence of the migratory experience on changes in the forms and implications of family violence. The refle…
The Samjiyon Orchestra as a North Korean Means for Gender Based Cultural Diplomacy
2020
In 2018 it appeared that a peace process on the Korean Peninsula had got underway. Lots of publicity was produced on inter-Korean relations and many types of messages and diplomatic actors started to move across the border with South Korea. One important element in this process was cultural diplomacy, conducted partly by athletes and cheering squads during the Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games, and partly by musical ensembles. Selection of the Samjiyon Orchestra for the Pyeongchang events sheds light on the kind of image the North Korean leadership wanted to display of the country on the international stage. This article analyses the characteristics of the orchestra, where it came from, and …
Shifting notions of gendered care and neoliberal motherhood: From the lives of Latvian migrant women in Guernsey
2014
Synopsis In this article I analyse how socioeconomic constraints structure the geographical mobility of Latvian migrant women working on the island of Guernsey. A shifting notion of gendered care is revealed through a time-geographic investigation of distant emplacements of workplace and home, and through the neoliberal-informed evaluations by the mothers themselves. Their justifications emphasise the belief that care from a distance should be prioritised over physical proximity to those in need of care. With examples from interviews with mothers who have provided care during their movements between Latvia and Guernsey, I demonstrate how the outcomes of shifting notions of gendered care are…

La búsqueda se realizó partiendo de tres áreas –actividades físico-deportivas, prisión y mujer– la cual finalizó con 33 estudios de los cuales se seleccionaron 27, que analizaban los beneficios y/o las barreras de las presas, mediante un análisis de contenido.

A la vez, ciertos estudios revisados apuntan que las actividades físico-deportivas pueden ser beneficiosas para la futura …
