Talking Yourself Into Work: Insights From Sociolinguistics About Gender And The Employment Interview, Mary Barrett
Talking Yourself Into Work: Insights From Sociolinguistics About Gender And The Employment Interview, Mary Barrett
Faculty of Business - Papers (Archive)
This chapter gives a brief critical history of three phases of linguistic research into gender and language: an essentialist phase, a constructionist phase and a post-structuralist phase. It pays particular attention to the post-structuralist phase, which focuses on how meaning is actively constructed by both parties to a speech event such as a conversation, and the consequences of particular judgements by the more powerful participants, especially in 'gate-keeping' conversations such as job interviews. We pay particular attention to research into naturally occurring conversations, which employs conversation analysis (CA), an interactional sociolinguistics technique. Campbell and Roberts's (2007) CAbased study of intercultural …

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an important element in portraying corporate identity and building a positive reputation for firms (Cornelius et al. 2007). While at the overall board level, there have been several studies examining the effect of boardlevel attributes on CSR (Dalton et al. 2003; Bonn 2004; McWilliams and Siegel 2000, Bear, Rahman, and Post 2010), at the individual, director level, there has been little research conducted. This study examines individual characteristics of Australian company directors to identify the contributing factors that shape their attitudes to CSR. In particular, in this study, we examine the impact of spiritual wellbeing, …

More Men Die In Bushfires: How Gender Affects How We Plan And Respond, Joshua Whittaker, Christine Eriksen, Katharine Haynes

The recent bushfires in Western Australia and South Australia are a reminder of the deadly potential of bushfires in this country. Four people lost their lives in the WA fires, and two people are confirmed to have died in the SA fires. It is now well documented that women and men are exposed to bushfire risk in different ways and degrees due to everyday divisions of labour and gendered norms. A range of factors influence how people prepare for, respond to, and recover from bushfire. These include: the type of work they do; responsibilities for children, older and disabled people; …

Children With Gender Dysphoria And The Jurisdiction Of The Family Court, Felicity Bell
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Gender dysphoria is described as ‘[m]ental distress caused by unhappiness with one’s own sex and the desire to be identified as the opposite sex’. Gender dysphoria is distinguished from being intersex, the subject of a recent Australian Senate Committee report, which is referable to physical characteristics. It is also distinguished from gender non-conformism, gender diversity or transsexualism as, in addition to identifying and living as one’s non-natal gender, it involves ‘clinically significant distress’. Unfortunately, children with gender dysphoria (and indeed many gender diverse young people) are almost by definition at a high risk of depression and anxiety, as well as …

Violence perpetrated by and against men and boys is a major public health problem. Although individual men's use of violence differs, engagement of all men and boys in action to prevent violence against women and girls is essential. We discuss why this engagement approach is theoretically important and how prevention interventions have developed from treating men simply as perpetrators of violence against women and girls or as allies of women in its prevention, to approaches that seek to transform the relations, social norms, and systems that sustain gender inequality and violence. We review evidence of intervention effectiveness in the reduction …

The widespread take-up of Internet technologies from the mid-1990s has proven challenging to nation states that seek to limit access to ideas, information or images that the political class considers dangerous or inappropriate for the general population. As a largely deterritorialized technology, the Internet allows access to material that circumvents national legislatures and ignores local ratings systems and in so doing facilitates all kinds of inter-cultural and transnational flows of communication. Different countries have different sensitivities regarding the kinds of material that should not be freely available to their citizens and although the entry of such material is closely scrutinized …
Men And Gender Equality, Michael G. Flood
Men And Gender Equality, Michael G. Flood
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
Our world is a deeply unequal one. Systemic inequalities which disadvantage women and advantage men are visible around the globe. Whether on looks at political power and authority, economic resources and decision-making, sexual and family relations, or media and culture, one finds gender inequalities. These are sustained in part by constructions of masculinity-by the cultural meanings associated with being a man, the practices which men adopt, and the collective and institutional organisation of men's lives and relations.
