Women Leaders In The Rwandan Genocide: When Women Choose To Kill, Donna J. Maier

UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

The role of women as perpetrators in the Rwanda Genocide has been documented much more so than that of women in other genocides and crimes against humanity: more than in the holocaust of World War II, than in the massacres of Mayan Guatemala's Indians in 1982, and more even than in the widespread atrocities that accompanied the break-up of the former Yugoslavia which were virtually concurrent with the Rwanda Genocide. It is not entirely clear why this is the case. Testimonies of women perpetrators and victims were collected in the immediate aftermath of the Rwandan Genocide by various human rights …

Is She Real Or Is She Wonder Woman? Finding The Authentic Woman In Graphic Novels And Comic Strips, Michael Welch

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of this study is to discover whether or not women are portrayed in an authentic manner in comic books and graphic novels. This study provides a brief history of comic books and graphic novels from the late 19th Century to early 21st Century. The study then reviews qualitative studies on the gender roles of women in graphic novels, women in prime time television, collection development and graphic novels, children's animated television, young adult's perceptions of televised women heroes, gender and racial stereotypes in newspaper comics, and "wonder women" or women in heroic roles in comic books and television. …

Communication Dimensions Of Supervisor-Subordinate Conflict: Perceptions By Subordinates Of Sex/Gender Differences In Supervisors’ Conflict Strategies, Maria Del Pilar Montoya

UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

My personal interest about conflict in the workplace and its relation with sex/gender started early in my first years as a communication practitioner, and later became a topic for my academic research. After I did not find satisfactory answers among the popular beliefs and perceptions to the inquiries about conflict in the workplace, I turned my search to what the social sciences have investigated. I have to recognize that at the beginning my internal explanations about the reasons why conflict with supervisors happened were biased on traumatic conflict experiences with female supervisors as a participant and an observer, in which …

Mentor's Introduction [To Maria Del Pilar Montoya's Paper], April Chatham-Carpenter

UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

Pilar’s paper was initially developed in a graduate-level Quantitative Research Methods class. She surveyed nontraditional students at a university about their perceptions of sex/gender differences in female supervisor’s conflict strategies. The paper does a good job overviewing the literature in the field and applies an already recognized scale to explore male and female students’ perceptions of their female bosses. This work serves as a foundation for Pilar’s ongoing thesis project, looking at the role of sex and gender in supervisory conflict behaviors.

The Global Gag Rule: Implications For Feminism, Ngo Funding, And Women’S Global Health, Amanda L. Breeden

Graduate Research Papers

This research project examines the effects of the Mexico City Policy on feminism, non governmental organizations (NGOs) funding, and women's global health. The paper argues that the Mexico City Policy, also known as the Global Gag Rule, is a form of hegemonic discursive and cultural imperialism that silences women and NGO voices. In doing so, the policy decreases access to reproductive health care, increases the feminization of poverty, and removes reproductive decision-making from women.

The research maintains this argument through review of the literature surrounding this issue. This literature review includes an examination of the history of the U.S. policy …

Strategies For Bridging The Gender Gap In Technology Use : From Education To The Workplace, Martha Frazier

Graduate Research Papers

This literature review is about strategies for bridging the gender gap in technology use in the classroom and the workplace. The research done on the subject indicates that a gender gap does exist in the classroom and the workplace. Women and girls have not been encouraged to participate in classes or training that will prepare them to make the transition from the classroom to the workplace. The conclusion of this review suggests several methods to aid instructors and employers in bringing about equity in the classroom and the workforce. The implementation of diversity training, mentoring, and role modeling are just …
