The irritated supervisor in this film shows up again in The Grapevine. To license this film and get a higher quality version for broadcast/film purposes, contact A/V Geeks LLC .

Work life and personal life are two sides of the same coin. Increasing work burdens, globalization and industrial development have made it an issue with both the sexes, all professionals, working across all levels and all businesses throughout the world. The banking industry is one which is fronting the force of the threat of work- life imbalance. Work limits are getting snugger and the individual’s jobs are not only to contest with targets but also to give worth productions. Due to this work...

Generally, this article examines the complicated relations between gender and sexuality. More specifically, it couches gender and sexuality in the field of queer studies and education and argues that whatever gender and sexuality might mean, these concepts must include discussions around queerness, otherwise gender debates get aligned with heteronormative assumptions. Finally, it talks about queer life and school culture and argues teachers need to understand what queer life is like for young...

Although a number of female students in the entry-level of tertiary education has increased substantially in recent years, the proportion of incoming females in the fields of science and technology is low. Government and non-government organizations encourage females to enter tertiary level education for career development. However, judging by women's participation in the scientific community, it seems that for incoming female students some of the disciplines are not attractive and rewarding...

Faculty gender ratios vary considerably across institutions, and past research has shown that certain characteristics of institutions have a significant effect on these gender ratios. Understanding the drivers of faculty gender ratio variation is important since the concentration of women in particular types of institutions contributes to gender differences in earnings, career patterns, and employment outcomes. This study tested the hypothesis, drawn from theories of organizational behavior,...

The gender gap - what is it? After all these years of gender equity in schools, does the gap still exist? Can it be closed? The answers to these questions are both simple and complex. For instance, there are still gender gaps between girls and boys in various aspects of achievement and other performance outcomes in schools. In some areas, girls once performed consistently lower than boys on standardized math and science tests, while recently that is no longer the case. But, in middle and high...

This book provides a practically oriented reflection on gender equity in higher education and offers insights on how to achieve such equity. Equity, rather than "equality," is the focus of the discussion, which refines the discussion of gender and higher education to go beyond traditional ideas of equal provision and the mathematical equality of outcomes. The discussion includes equal treatment or treatment that is different but considered equivalent in terms of rights, benefits, and...

The purpose of this study was to determine the prior knowledge of students regarding scientists and their work. Students' depictions of scientists in pictures were compared to their responses in agreement or disagreement to statements about scientists and their work. The 124 seventh grade students drew a picture of a scientist and told why they agreed or disagreed with certain statements. Pictures were analyzed using the stereotypic features attributed to scientists as reported in earlier...

Since traditional epistemology has not been able to present a generality but rather has represented a male perspective as if it is general, neutral, and inclusive of women, then there is the possibility of offering a feminist epistemology. Thus, the critique of the tradition has to come first, to create a space where feminists can begin to actually do constructive and reconstructive work in epistemology. That work is just beginning to emerge, and this paper's goal is to contribute to that...

The expectation of educators for more than a decade has been that they would be aware of and attend to gender issues. The British Columbia Visual Arts Curricula states "Gender-equitable education will initially focus on girls in order to redress historical inequities." However, it is important to be informed about the issues that adversely affect the males in art education. This theme issue contains seven articles: (1) "Editor's View" (Sharon McCoubrey); (2) "Gender...

In this article we offer a research-based response to and critique of approaches suggested to address boys' literacy and pedagogical reform. Our aim is to open up a dialogue by examining the conceptual limits imposed by casting boys as particular sorts of literate subjects. We argue against officially sanctioned literacy practices that fail to engage with research-based literature that raises serious questions about gender reform initiatives. We suggest caution and further informed dialogue in...

Intercollegiate athletics have struggled with the concept of same-sex coaches, asking the question of whether or not those who coach women or men should be of the same gender. With the advent of Title IX, the conversation has grown particularly acute in non-revenue sports, such as women's golf. The current national study profiles NCAA Division I women's golf team coaches and their attributes. The profile shows a highly educated, Caucasian group who are moderately compensated and have a wide...

This review of recent literature suggests that there exist gender-based problems in counselor training supervision. Several of these problems are discussed in this paper. Though opinions of counselors appear, for the most part, to support stereotypes, actual measurements of supervisor behaviors suggest that stereotypical definitions may not always be based in fact. While some female supervisors may misunderstand power in the supervisor role, some male supervisors appear to misunderstand the...

More than a decade after the provocative writings of French feminist writers Julie Kristeva, Luce Irigaray, Helene Cixous, and Monique Wittig first appeared, the exploration of sexual and gender differences continues to draw controversy. Their work has been considered mostly in regard to literature, philosophy, and feminist theory, but their theories could make valuable contributions to American interpersonal communication scholarship. They are intrigued by basic questions that are also at the...

This paper explores representation of "Woman Question" in Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll's House" and George Bernard Shaw's "Candida." The paper argues that unlike many studies that have read Candida and Nora as two disparate characters, they can be considered as the same "New Woman" represented only from different perspectives. In the previous studies, Candida is usually labelled a philistine who chooses to stay at home in order to defend blindly the convention...

This essay explores the questions that women faculty in institutions of all kinds have been pondering. What would be the attributes of a higher education system that provides opportunities for growth and advancement to women that are equal to those provided for men? What aspects of academic culture would have to change to create a more equitable distribution of opportunity for women and men? Women now make up a substantial share of the academy, but the efforts and achievement of women, who are...

The differences between early African American narratives written by women and those written by men can be seen in a comparison of Harriet A. Jacobs's "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Written by Herself" and Frederick Douglass's "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave." A comparison of these works offers the greatest contrast of issues found throughout gender and autobiographical studies--issues of voice, content, ideology, and form. Douglass...

This study explored the nature and performance of masculinity portrayed in popular young adult novels featuring female protagonists.

This paper contends that anyone who teaches English or who wants to write or publish must be sensitive to the issue of gender equity in language, whether in the use of police officers, not policemen, flight attendants, not stewardesses, or the exclusive use of the masculine pronoun, which was the standard years ago. Writers can avoid gender bias by making a gender-neutral noun plural which allows for the use of the plural pronoun which is gender neutral. The use of "they" or...

Gender bias can have many detrimental effects in education, including effects on teacher behavior, student performance, and the subject choices made by students. Various studies have shown that teachers tend to provide more specific and instructive feedback for boys and that males are likely to receive more teacher attention, most of it corrective. Teachers are unaware of their actions, and old habits are hard to change when they do become aware of their actions. Students themselves have...

The literature on the male gender role portrays real men as lacking weakness, need, doubt, or any of the "female" values such as sympathy, concern, or empathy. It is contended that Western society develops, reinforces, and maintains gender roles by the emotion shame; many males are motivated in part by an effort to avoid or escape shameful feelings. Shame is basically the felt variation between one's real self and one's idealized self--the feeling of not measuring up. Shame arises in...
