‘Women-protective’ language as a tool of exclusion: Debates on oocyte donation in Latvia
2018
‘Women-protective’ language is broadly used as a frame in political discussions on women’s reproductive healthcare and labour rights. This article addresses the use of ‘women-protective’ language in online news articles in the Latvian media about the proposed prohibition of oocyte donation for nulliparous women. The main focus of the recent Latvian debate has not been on the technology itself, but rather on the female body and women’s rationality and decision-making capacity. The results of the analysis show that use of the ‘women-protective’ frame positions women as victims, increases control over the female body and restricts women’s rights to make autonomous decisions. The application of…

Cinematic images of nation-ness: Space, time and gender inYoung Eagles(Estonia) andLāčplēsis(Latvia)
2012
ABSTRACTIn this article, I analyse cinematic time and space and their interaction, in which nation-ness is articulated as a unifying identity in the epic films Lācplēsis/Bear-Slayer (Latvia, Aleksandrs Rusteiķis, 1930) and Noored Kotkad/Young Eagles (Estonia, Theodor Luts, 1927, digitally remastered in 2008). In discussing the timespace organization of nation-ness in these films, I address representations of the political ‘birth of a nation’ and modern national identity. I discuss the ways in which the narratives in Young Eagles and Lācplēsis re-claim a traditional gender binary, predicated on a splitting and differentiating relationship with Otherness, embodied in the sexual threat of male…
Vielfalt* lehren – sexuelle und geschlechtliche Vielfalt im Studium der Grundschulpädagogik
2021
This article takes instances of discrimination and coming out experiences of young queer people as a starting point in order to focus on the field of sexual and gender diversity at the elementary/primary school level. Thus, the author examines laws and regulations of schools and universities regarding their general implementation of sex-education, and in relation to gender and sexual diversity in particular. The article proposes an outline that recommends implementing an interdisciplinary and heteronormative critical sex-education with which gender is posited as an identity marker within a discourse around inclusion and diversity. The article proposes an outline that recommends implementing…
Has the Push for Equal Gender Representation Changed the Role of Women on German Supervisory Boards?
2017
In Germany, an intensive public debate about increasing female participation in leadership positions started in 2009 and proceeded until the beginning of 2015, when the German parliament enacted a board gender quota. In that period, the share of women on supervisory boards for 111 German publicly listed and fully codetermined companies (i.e. those which are affected by the quota law) more than doubled from 10.6 percent in 2009 to 22.6 percent in 2015. In 2016, the first year when the law was effective, the female share increased again by 4.5 percentage points. Using a hand-collected dataset, we investigate whether the rise in female board representation was accompanied by a change in gender…
Sex and Gender Equality Policies in Education in Three Southern European Societies: the cases of Andalusia and Valencian Community (Spain) and Portug…
2020
Gender mainstreaming is an international strategy in Europe relating to gender equality using an intersectional approach. It deals, specifically, with new challenges for sexuality and diversity in education. From within this context, this paper focuses on two goals. The first is to analyse sex and gender equality policies in education, since the 2000s, in three Southern European societies: Andalusia and Valencian Community, in Spain, and Portugal. The second goal is to arrive at some comparative conclusions about the recent developments in sex and gender equality policies in education in these three societies. We end with some comparative conclusions. First, there is the political orientati…

Diversidad en la identidad y expresión de género en Educación Física: Una revisión de la literatura (Diversity in gender identity and expression in P…
2020
La escuela constituye un espacio reproductor de la cultura heteronormativa y de los patrones, roles y normas de género; especialmente desde el área de Educación Física en la que el género suele ser un tema tenido en cuenta diariamente. No todas las personas se identifican con uno de los dos sexos establecidos socialmente: masculino o femenino, pudiéndose identificar con ambos o con ninguno de ellos. El presente artículo tiene por objeto realizar una revisión de la literatura con el objetivo de explorar el momento en el que se encuentra la temática de diversidad en la identidad y la expresión del género en la etapa de Educación Primaria y concretamente en el área de Educación Física.
