"This timely volume brings together a range of international scholars to analyse cultural, political, and individual factors which contribute to the continued global issue of female underrepresentation in STEM study and careers. Offering a comparative approach to examining gender equity in STEM fields across countries including the UK, Germany, the US, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Africa, and China, the volume provides a thematic breakdown of institutional trends and national policies that have successfully improved gender equity in STEM at institutions of higher education. Offering case studies that demonstrate how policies interact with changing social and cultural norms, and impact women's choices and experiences in relation to the uptake and continuation of STEM study at the undergraduate level, the volume highlights new directions for research and policy to promote gender equity in STEM at school, university, and career level. Contributing to the United Nations' (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, this text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in science education, higher education, and gender equity in STEM fields. The text will also support further discussion and reflection around multicultural education, educational policy and politics, and the sociology of education more broadly.

This book compares perspectives on gender equality in Norway and Japan, focusing on family, education, media, and sexuality and reproduction as seen through a gendered lens. What can we learn from a comparison between two countries who stand in significant contrast to each other with respect to gender equality? Norway and Japan differ in terms of historical, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Most importantly, Japan lags far behind Norway when it comes to the World Economic Forum's Gender Gap Report. Rather than taking a narrow approach that takes as its starting point the assumption that Norway has so much 'more' to offer in terms of gender equality, the authors attempt to show that a comparative perspective of two countries in the West and East can be of mutually benefit to both contexts in the advancement of gender equality. The interdisciplinary team of researchers contributing to this book cover a range of contemporary topics in gender equality, including fatherhood and masculinity, teaching and learning in gender studies education, cultural depictions of gender, trans experiences and feminism. This unique collection is suitable for researchers and students of gender studies, sociology, anthropology, Japan studies and European studies.

Inclusive language remains a hot topic. Despite decades of empirical evidence and revisions of formal language use, many inclusive adaptations of English and German continue to be ignored or contested. But how to convince speakers of the importance of inclusive language? Rewriting Language provides one possible answer: by engaging readers with the issue, literary texts can help to raise awareness and thereby promote wider linguistic change. Christiane Luck analyses five iconic texts from a literary, linguistic and sociological perspective. She shows how Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness and Verena Stefan’s Häutungen highlight the issues inherent in the linguistic status quo; Marge Piercy’s Woman on the Edge of Time and June Arnold’s The Cook and the Carpenter explore the possibilities and challenges of linguistic neutrality; and Gerd Brantenberg’s Egalias døtre reverses linguistic norms to illustrate the link between language and imagination. A focus group study provides empirical evidence for the effectiveness of the literary approaches and shows how literary texts can sensitise readers to the impact of biased language. Particularly in the context of education, Luck concludes, literary texts can be a valuable tool to promote inclusive language use.

Hinter dem aktuellen Antifeminismus steht eine kleine, aber intensiv vernetzte Gruppe von Akteur*innen, die strategisch um Deutungshoheit kämpft. Ihr Einfluss jenseits des rechten und christlich-fundamentalistischen Spektrums ist jedoch gering - und Gegenmobilisierungen durchaus erfolgreich. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes legen erstmals vergleichende Analysen zum Antifeminismus in Deutschland vor. Untersucht werden dabei Mediendiskurse, Antifeminismus in der Wissenschaft, Mobilisierungen gegen die Reform sexueller Bildung an Schulen, rechte Kritiken an der »Ehe für alle«, Vorstellungen von Mutterschaft sowie Effekte der Projektion von Sexismus auf zugewanderte Muslime in Integrationskursen für Geflüchtete. »Insgesamt handelt es sich beim vorliegenden Sammelband um einen interessanten Beitrag zum Forschungsstand. Für die Gender Studies sind insbesondere die empirischen Studien zu Antigender-Diskursen in unterschiedlichen gesellschaftlichen Feldern von Relevanz. Damit empfiehlt sich der Band für all jene, die sich über neue empirische Ergebnisse aus einer herrschaftskritischen Perspektive informieren wollen.« Daniel Lehnert, Soziopolis, 13.04.2021 »Der Band bietet eine Fülle von spannenden Erkenntnissen und hilfreichen Informationen für den Kampf gegen Antifeminismen, wo immer ihnen begegnet wird.« www.frauensolidaritaet.org/www.centrum3.at, 2 (2021) O-Ton: »Wie der Begriff ›Gender‹ zum Reizwort geworden ist« - Annette Henninger im Interview beim Deutschlandfunk am 11.01.2021.
