''A woman's place...': community-based approaches to gender-based violence in Malawi'
(2017)
Gaynor, Niamh; Cronin, Mairtin
Abstract:
One in five women has experienced gender-based violence in Malawi and its incidence is reported to be increasing. The importance of cultural norms, practices, discourses and behaviours in both driving and addressing such violence is now well recognised. So too is the attendant need to involve men as well as women in community interventions to address this. In this context, this article draws on field research conducted in 2016 in two districts in Northern and Southern Malawi exploring the successes and challenges posed by communitybased approaches (CBAs) to tackling GBV. We find that CBAs have yielded a number of successes – notably a reported reduction in GBV as communications between couples have improved and economic stresses within households reduced. However, we also find that these same CBAs have raised a number of challenges. These centre around resource distribution; the impact on local power dynamics; and CBA’s ability to challenge and interrogate dominant norms, ideologies...

''The Faithful Remnant of the True Church of England': Susanna Hopton and the Politico-Theology of the Nonjuring Schism'

''The Faithful Remnant of the True Church of England': Susanna Hopton and the Politico-Theology of the Nonjuring Schism'
(2021)
Lewis, Simon
Abstract:
Susanna Hopton (1627-1709) is best known for her devotional literature, and her association with the Anglican clergyman and poet, Thomas Traherne (1636-1674). Significantly less scholarly attention, however, has been devoted to her role and influence as a Nonjuring theologian. By analysing some neglected letters and publications, this paper not only illuminates Hopton?s independence as a theological controversialist but also explores her role as an evangelist for the Nonjuring cause. Fresh evidence is advanced to elucidate the ways in which Hopton?s theological trajectory differed from those of Nonjuring divines. Furthermore, by exploring Hopton?s friendship with the prominent Nonjuring divine, George Hickes (1642-1715), this paper enhances our knowledge of clerical perceptions of women theologians during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.

'Doing boy/ girl' and global/ local elements in 10-12 year olds’ drawings and written texts
(2006)
O'Connor, Pat
Abstract:
Irish society has been undergoing very rapid change involving increasing globalisation, potentially declining localisation and changing gender roles (Tovey and Share, 2003; O’Connor, 1998 and 2,000; O’Toole, 2003). There is evidence to suggest that in this context Irish young people are using escapist mood altering drugs (particularly excessive alcohol and cannabis) to a greater extent than their European counterparts (HBSC, 2003; ESPAD, 2004). This study was concerned with looking at texts written by young people aged 10-12 years old in response to an invitation, to ‘tell their life stories’, to write a page ‘describing themselves and the Ireland that they inhabit’ ‘to provide a national data base’ ‘an invaluable archive’, with the option of using the reverse side of the sheet creatively for drawings, poems, songs, or lyrics. This paper is concerned with three issues: firstly with the relationship between the visual content of the drawings and the written texts; secondly with the r...

'Fat is your fault': Gatekeepers to health, attributions of responsibility and the portrayal of gender in the Irish media representation of obesity
(2016)
De Brún, Aoife; McCarthy, Mary; McKenzie, Kenneth; McGloin, Aileen
Abstract:
We investigated the representation of obesity in the Irish media by conducting an inductive thematic analysis on newspaper articles (n=346) published in 2005, 2007 and 2009 sampled from six major publications. The study analysed the media's construction of gender in discussions of obesity and associated attributions of blame. Three dominant themes are discussed: the caricatured portrayal of gender, women as caregivers for others, and emotive parent-blaming for childhood obesity. Men were portrayed as a homogenous group; unaware and unconcerned about weight and health issues. Dieting and engaging in preventative health behaviours were portrayed as activities exclusively within the female domain and women were depicted as responsible for encouraging men to be healthy. Parents, specifically mothers, attracted much blame for childhood obesity and media messages aimed to shame and disgrace parents of obese children through use of emotive and evocative language. This portrayal was br...

'Girls just like to be friends with people: gendered experiences of migration among children and young people in returning Irish families
(2011)
Ní Laoire, Caitríona
Abstract:
The gendered nature of children and young people's experiences of migration are explored in this paper, drawing on research with children in Irish return migrant families. The paper focuses on the ways in which gender dynamics both reinforce and complicate the children's complex social positionings in Irish society. It explores the gendered nature of the children's and young people's everyday lives, relationships with peers and negotiations of identity, through a specific focus on the role of sport, friendship and local gender norms in their lives. I suggest that gender articulates with other axes of sameness/difference in complex ways, shaping the opportunities for social participation and cultural belonging in different ways for migrant boys and girls.

'i woke up after i joined stepping stones': meanings of an hiv behavioural intervention in rural south african young people's lives
(2018)
Jewkes, R.; Wood, K.; Duvvury, Nata
Abstract:
Evaluation of the Stepping Stones human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention programme in South Africa showed sustained reduction in men and women's herpes simplex type 2 virus incidence and male violence, but no impact on HIV in women. Companion qualitative research was undertaken to explore how participants made meaning from the programme and how it influenced their lives. In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 men and 11 women before the intervention (one to three interviews per person). Then 9-12 months later, 18 follow-up interviews and 4 focus groups were held. Stepping Stones empowered participants and engendered self-reflection, in a process circumscribed by social and cultural context. Participants generally sought to be 'better', rather than 'different', men and women. Men shaped a more benign patriarchy, i.e. less violent and anti-social, and sought to avoid potential risks, ranging from imprisonment, witchcraft to HIV. While some women sho...

'I'm not going to be able to leave'; The impact of belonging to the Irish farming community on university students' life experiences and transitions to adulthood
(2014)
Cassidy, Anne
Abstract:
Despite extensive research into family farming culture little attention has been paid to young people raised in this community who do not become full-time farmers. This thesis explores the childhood experiences of university students who grew up in Irish farming families and its impact on their movement into adulthood. It concentrates on their relationship with the farm and the local, rural and farming communities this is situated within. This study focuses on the impact belonging to these institutions has had and continues to have on the lives and choices of farm youth as they build a life potentially leading away from their cultural and familial background. It examines the processes underpinning their transition to adulthood and the role of structural boundaries such as parental strategies, cultural norms and gendered frameworks in the direction of their life, their identity and affiliations. The concept of belonging is unpacked and the nuances, norms and attitudes grounding this ...

Abstract:
Objectives - The purpose of this research is to gain an insight into the online visual marketing of the occupational therapy undergraduate and graduate entry-level courses within Ireland and the United Kingdom. This study examines the specific characteristics of the current visual representations that exist across these university websites. As there are a small proportion of men within the occupational therapy profession, it has become imperative to explore the current practices presented in the recruitment process of online prospectus. Method - The method of research consists of evaluating visual data from 30 university websites across Ireland and the United Kingdom. The data was then recorded onto a specifically designed chart, accounting for necessary information, and analysed using thematic analysis to elicit representative themes. A statistical formula was then constructed to validate the findings of particular themes identified, promoting clarity and reliability. Results - The...

'Practice" makes perfect: locating young people in golf club culture
(2011)
Kitching, Niamh
Abstract:
Given its long history, conservative image, explicit norms and gendered, class-associated practices, golf has been acknowledged as a site for rich sociological investigation. Research demonstrates how golf club culture is classed and gendered, where the institutional nature of the golf club creates communities of affluent people who share in similar amounts of capital, constraining various non-hegemonic groups. This research examines golf club culture in Ireland and the influence of golf club practice on the experiences of young golfers (aged eighteen and under). The investigation is framed by critical feminism, while postmodern perspectives offer potential for new insights into golf club practice. Reflexivity and positionality acknowledge my subjectivity, bias and values in the research, and identify my positions of elite golfer, golf development officer, golf club member and researcher in the field. Along with a national questionnaire to the population of golf clubs, prolonged vis...

'Where do women fit in university senior management? An analytical typology of cross national organisational cultures
(2011)
O'Connor, Pat
Abstract:
Universities present themselves as gender-neutral meritocracies, concerned with the transmission and creation of scientific, objective knowledge. However, it is now widely accepted that they are in fact gendered organisations (Brooks 2001; Collinson & Hearn 1996; Currie et al 2002; Deem et al 2008; Hearn 2001; Morley 1994 and 1999). In this chapter the focus is on the broader organisational culture, focussing particularly on its gendered character as seen through the eyes of senior academic managers.

"I'm fine girl, and how are you?" : The use of vocatives in spoken Irish-English
(2012)
Murphy, Brona; Farr, Fiona
Abstract:
The use of phatic communion and small talk are obvious examples of how interpersonal relationships are built and maintained. This paper explores the use of vocatives, which play an equally important part in the affective realm of communication. This paper uses corpus-based tools and methodologies to explore the use of vocatives across a range of contexts in Irish English, highlighting the strong link between the use of vocatives and casual conversation in particular. Focusing on three high frequency forms (girl, lads and boy) in casual conversation, we investigate how their distribution and functions are conditioned by sociolinguistic variables like age and gender. The paper reveals new insights into interpersonal interaction which has informality at its core.

"Mom, I'm doing boy's stuff with Dad. You just go hang clothes." A Complementary Hegelian and psychoanalytic analysis of the acquisition of gender in childhood and its societal repercussions.
(2012)
Ahearn, Sarah
Abstract:
Gender is so pervasive in our lives that until we encounter a situation which is not the "norm" we hardly question it at all. However, gender constructs carry with them a power which determines the roles of men and women in society. This paper will examine the psychoanalytic work on gender acquisition and complement this with Hegel's master/slave dialectic which shows how even without gender, any two self-conscious beings will engage with each other with force. Both the work of Nancy Chodorow and Sigmund Freud offer a psychoanalysis of early childhood notions of recognition and separation and the tension between the two. This essay will argue how infant relationships with their parents subconsciously influence the child's construction of gender, which they carry through to adulthood permeating through all aspects of adult life. It will also offer suggestions of how the sexes can break free, in some respects, of the bonds of gender.

"Shame makes the world go around": performed and embodied (gendered) class disgust in Morrissey's 'The Slum Mums'

Dillane, Aileen; Power, Martin J.; Devereux, Eoin
Abstract:
Link to published copy; https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/music-as-multimodal-discourse-9781474264426/
This chapter explores how a pop song can become (and remain) a critical site for counter-hegemonic expression, through the creative manipulation of discursive, structural, sonic, and somatic elements. ‘The Slum Mums’, by popular music artist Morrissey, deals with the contempt felt for lone female mothers on welfare in the UK under the New Labour governments of the 1990s and 2000s. Rather than providing a straightforward critique of this ‘contempt’, Morrissey deftly creates a song whose meaning relies on the ambiguous interrelationship between the socio-political context, the lyrical content, and musical structure and sound as they relate to issues of gendered embodiment in particular. To this end, we locate our work within what might be understood as a social constructivist approach, leaning into scholars who argue for embodied perspectives. We argue that it is through ...

"Sie war; sie wurde; sie wurde nichts." Weiblichkeit, Trauma und Suizid in Texten von Arthur Schnitzler, Ingeborg Bachmann und Peter Handke
(2014)
Klapper, Simone
Abstract:
This study investigates the literary presentation of female suicide in Schnitzler's 'Fräulein Else', Bachmann's 'Das Buch Franza' and Handke's 'Wunschloses Unglück', prose texts situated in a period from the beginning to the middle of the 20th century. By exploring the interrelation between suicide, trauma, gender and speechlessness in the framework of Cultural and Gender Studies this dissertation provides new insights into the development of poetic language critique in twentieth century literature. The works discussed suggest a close link between suicide and (psychological) speechlessness. The protagonists' suicide in each text results from violence, marginalisation and traumatic experience. Their suicide can be understood as a response to an aporetic situation and as an act of sovereignty against a social order or cultural practices which render(s) them voiceless. The works also reflect on how suicide can traumatically affect the b...

“Reframing” the postwar moment: the impact of UNSCR 1325 (2000) on gender relations in post-conflict states – the case of Sierra Leone
(2015)
Sicard, Aurelie
Abstract:
This thesis analyses the impact of UNSCR 1325 on post-conflict states using Sierra Leone as a case study. It employs the concept of the “postwar moment” defined as a period of fluidity with the potential to be a time of change, particularly in gender relations. This period has historically been negative for women. UNSCR 1325, which implicitly recalls this negative moment, has been prominent in international discourse on post-conflict reconstruction since its creation in 2000. It is credited with improving the position of women in conflict and in peace processes, and by implication, in post-conflict reconstruction, in this way ameliorating the impact of the postwar moment on women. The study uses a word-counting analysis of two Sierra Leonean newspapers covering 2002-2008 and of national policies documents from 2004-2012 to examine elite discourse on gender. The analysis uses frames drawn from a word-counting analysis of 1325 and related texts. The thesis finds that 1325 has had virt...

A capture-recapture study of the prevalence and implications of opiate use in Dublin
(2001)
COMISKEY, CATHERINE; Barry, Joe M.
Abstract:
Background: To date there have been no studies estimating the hidden prevalence of opiate use in Dublin. Methods: A muftisource enumeration followed by the application of the capture-recapture method with log-linear modelling including age and gender stratification to remove heterogeneity was implemented to provide an estimate of the unknown size of the opiate-using population. Two medical and one legal data sources were used. Results: It was found that the ratio of known to unknown opiate users was 1:1.15 with a total of 13,460 (95% Cl: 12,037?15,306) users estimated in Dublin In 1996. Conclusion: The findings of this study have important ramifications for service delivery.

A Case study of the construction and negotiation of adolescent masculinities in a coeducational school in rural Ireland.
(2011)
Fitzgerald, John
Abstract:
This in-depth case study explored the ways in which adolescent boys, aged 16 to 18 years, explored their identities in relation to the formation of masculinities within the formal and informal spaces of a second-level school. Specifically, it attempted to uncover what is problematic about teenage boys’ understandings of gender identities within the context of a coeducational second-level school environment in rural Ireland. The study draws on young-person-centred interviews with small groups of adolescent boys and girls and individual interviews with male and female teachers. Particular focus is given to the narratives which show how adolescent male identities are constructed, negotiated and policed. This thesis examined the link between peer relationships and emotion practices of adolescent boys and showed that a high percentage of boys associated tough, stoic self-presentations to manliness and assiduously avoided displays of emotional pain and effectively discouraged such display...

A feminist geopolitics of Ryan's Daughter (1970)
(2018)
de la Garza, Armida
Abstract:
This article considers how history and film intersect with gender and ethnicity in Ryan’s Daughter. Taking feminist geopolitics as its theoretical framework, this article examines how gender informs the past as depicted on this film and at the time of its release through the feminisation of space, including through the tourist gaze it elicits. Central to geopolitics is cartography, employed to plot the location of resources, bringing boundaries into existence and often assisting with the strategic planning of invasions. This article analyses Ryan’s Daughter through a feminist geopolitical lens in order to explore how films act as maps, both in their guise of ideological tools and as cognitive schemata to orientate action, and in so doing illuminates the narrative and visual geopolitical gendering of Ireland, both in 1970 and through its construction of 1916.
