Die Gleichstellungsarbeit an Hochschulen in Deutschland weist vor dem Hintergrund hochschulischer Reformprozesse Merkmale eines Professionalisierungsprozesses auf. Anhand eines Mixed Methods Ansatzes wird in dem vorliegenden Buch die Ausprägung der soziologischen Professionskriterien untersucht. Während die quantitative Untersuchung einen positiven Zusammenhang zwischen wissenschaftlichem Geschlechterwissen und dem Professionalisierungsgrad nachweist, zeigt die qualitative Interviewstudie die Heterogenität unterschiedlicher Akteurinnentypen und deren Bezug zu diesem Wissen. Für den (weiteren) Professionalisierungsprozess sind das wissenschaftliche Geschlechterwissen und der Transfer dieses Wissens in die Gleichstellungspraxis fundamental.

Based on a study of three Hindu Indian religio-cultural organizations whose members live in and around a metropolitan area in California, this article examines the central role played by gender in the creation of ethnic communities and cultures among Hindu Indian immigrants. Gender relations and constructs are reworked during the course of immigration and settlement and are crucial to the Hindu American ethnicity developed in the United States. The author argues that migration and settlement result in an interrelated but distinct sequence of gendered processes at three analytical levels—the household, the local ethnic community, and the pan-Indian umbrella organizations. The processes occurring at the three levels intermesh in a complicated and contradictory dynamic. The contradictions are manifested in the construction of gendered ethnicity and in gender practice, particularly at the organizational level.

This article exposes the role of expressive culture in the rise and spread of late twentieth-century Hindu identity politics. I examine how Hindu nationalism is fuelled by an affective attachment to the Indian classical dancer. I analyse the affective logics that have crystallised around the now iconic Indian classical dancer and have situated her gendered and athletic body as a transnational, globally circulating emblem of an authentic Hindu and Indian national identity. This embodied identity is represented by the historical South Indian temple dancer and has, in the postcolonial era, been rebranded as the nationalist classical dancer—an archetype I refer to as the modern courtesan. I connect the modern courtesan to transnational forms of identity politics, heteropatriarchal marriage economies, as well as pathologies of gender violence. In so doing, I examine how the affective politics of 'Hinduism' have functionally weaponised the Indian dancing body. I argue that the nationalist and now transnationalist production of the classical dancer-courtesan exposes misogyny and casteism and thus requires a critical feminist dismantling. This article combines ethnographic fieldwork in classical dance studios in India and the United States with film and popular media analysis to contribute to critical transnational feminist studies, as well as South Asian gender, performance and media studies.

Gender is one of the core dimensions upholds the collective identity which is noticeably pertinence to the context of Muhammadiyah known as the modern Islamic organization in Indonesia. As the continuum of the above selection of dimensions, gender ideology of Javanese priyayi which reflects senior junior partnership is made available as the stock of knowledge for its identity, not only governs the micro-context of family relation but more obviously operates as the backbone structure of the organization. The endurance of such a structure is laid by the background of its founders who were mainly the elites of the Javanese santri-priyayi in its inception era and politically sustained by the macro-structure of the Indonesian state which has been primarily dominated by the Javanese priyayi . This reciprocal influence is made possible for such a gender regime to operate within this organization over a hundred year existence with the legitimacy of religious teachings which is arbitrarily a selective mechanism of normative ground.

Abstract"In an era of intense anti‐transgender legislation attacking the rights of transgender adolescents, it is more important than ever to examine how transgender and nonbinary persons make claims of legitimacy. Transgender childhood narratives have historically been used as a tool to make one's transgender identity intelligible to others and legitimize claims to a specific gender (e.g., "I have always known I am actually a girl, not a boy"). Nascent gender identification demonstrates that one's gender is predetermined by forces outside of their control. This essentialist logic provides a "natural" and "acceptable explanation" for transgender identity and transition. The integration of these childhood tropes into diagnostic criteria and popular media has established them as markers of "legitimate" transgender identity. Failure to use these narratives, even if they do not align with personal experiences, risks one's access to medical, legal, and social resources. This article explores transgender childhood narratives in‐depth, detailing their historical roots and the theoretical frameworks that give them legitimacy. I examine their continued importance in demarcating both transgender and nonbinary authenticity and review literature that highlights the influence of these narratives across various realms of social life, including health and healthcare, public perceptions, and social recognition and support."

Der Beitrag zeigt, wie Männer und Jungen mit Essstörungen in einer Onlinecommunity die durch die intersektionale Verschränkung der sich gegenseitig beschädigenden (bzw. ausschließenden) Kategorien 'Männlichkeit' und 'Essstörung' entstehende prekäre soziale Identität kollektiv bearbeiten und durch verschiedene kommunikative Muster stabilisieren und normalisieren. Dabei wird diskutiert, wie eine an Gattungsanalyse und Membership-Categorization-Analysis nach Harvey Sacks angelehnte Methode zur Untersuchung solcher Prozesse des Identitätsmanagement in virtuellen Räumen genutzt werden kann.

This essay explores the significance of political and ideological context as well as experimental culture for the participation of women in radioactivity research. It argues that the politics of Red Vienna and the culture of radioactivity research specific to the Viennese setting encouraged exceptional gender politics within the Institute for Radium Research in the interwar years. The essay further attempts to provide an alternative approach to narratives that concentrate on personal dispositions and stereotypical images of women in science to explain the disproportionately large number of women in radioactivity research. Instead, the emphasis here is on the institutional context in which women involved themselves in radioactivity in interwar Vienna. This approach places greater importance on contingencies of time and place and highlights the significance of the cultural and political context in a historical study while at the same time shedding light on the interrelation between scientific practices and gender.
