AbstractReligion has historically been a pronatalist force, but because it fosters traditional gender role attitudes, its importance for fertility may wane where gender equity is thought to be emerging as the new natalism. In this study, I used World Values Survey and European Values Survey data from 1989 to 2018 to determine whether more religious Northern countries are slower to develop the widespread egalitarian gender role attitudes associated with fertility recovery. I concluded that the "old natalism" and the "new natalism" do not compete with each other as much as their negative association implies that they might. By tracing the evolution of country‐level gender equity in more‐ and less religious countries of Europe and North America, I showed how country‐level religiosity does not dampen the potential for a gender equity‐stimulated fertility recovery. This paper also contributes by showing that the curvilinear relationship between gender equity and fertility has continued into more recent time periods than covered by previous work.

Questa edizione dei Quaderni offre una panoramica ampia e variegata della storia e della letteratura della Svezia, completando così un'ideale trilogia incentrata sulla Scandinavia, una delle mete predilette di Giuseppe Acerbi. Dai viaggi per mare di Vichinghi e Variaghi tra l'VIII e il IX secolo, alle vittorie militari dell'epoca della Grande Svezia nel Seicento della Guerra dei Trent'anni; dalla regina Cristina "esule" volontaria a Roma dal 1655 alla morte nel 1689, fino a Olof Palme, protagonista della politica estera internazionale della seconda metà del XX secolo, pur dalla sua posizione periferica la Svezia ha sempre interagito strettamente con il resto dell'Europa, come testimoniano, oltre che un panorama linguistico più sfaccettato di quanto comunemente si pensi, le numerose figure di autori svedesi entrati a far parte, e a buon diritto, delle letterature del mondo, dal filosofo e mistico settecentesco Emanuel Swedenborg, al genio multiforme di August Strindberg, dai premi Nobel Selma Lagerlöf, Pär Lagerkvist e Tomas Tranströmer ai talenti precocemente scomparsi di Karin Boye e Stig Dagerman, fino ai più recenti fasti del giallo scandinavo inaugurati da Stieg Larsson.

The United States faces an unusual problem in science education where the unifying theory in the sciences, evolution, is shrouded in controversy among the public and in the classroom. As a result, the teaching and learning of evolution has been described as "the greatest failure of science education in the 21st century". The phenomenon is highly visible in the South, where culture, beliefs, and science intersect in politics, classrooms, and at the dinner table. Research in evolution education in the region provides a vibrant lens through which to view how we approach controversial topics in the classroom and in our communities. Dr. Glaze addresses evolution education in the South and across the country, explores our understandings of the public controversy, and discusses ways of communicating science in and out of the classroom to support science literacy for all.
