Not A Yes Or No Question: Critical Perspectives On Sex And Gender In Forensic Anthropology, Greyson Jones
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
For the forensic anthropologist, the estimation of sex comprises the first step in the process of identification of human skeletal remains.

Through the use of critical discourse analysis, I demonstrate how forensic anthropology ideologically conceives of sexual difference in four ways: 1) as reducible to only biology; 2) …

Tense Collaborations And Exchange Interrupted: Gendered Participation In Ecological Agriculture Projects In Post-Neoliberal(?) Bolivia, Jenny J. Cockburn
Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Does Female Directorship On Independent Audit Committees Constrain Earnings Management?, Jerry Sun, Guoping Liu, George Lan
Odette School of Business Publications
This study examines whether the gender of the directors on fully independent audit committees affects the ability of the committees in constraining earnings management and thus their effectiveness in overseeing the financial reporting process. Using a sample of 525 firm-year observations over the period 2003 to 2005, we are unable to identify an association between the proportion of female directors on audit committees and the extent of earnings management.
