Book Synopsis Gender Representation in Learning Materials by : Abolaji S. Mustapha
Download or read book Gender Representation in Learning Materials written by Abolaji S. Mustapha and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representations of gender in learning materials convey an implicit message to students about attitudes towards culturally appropriate gender roles for women and men. This collection takes a linguistic approach to exploring theories about gender representation within the sphere of education and textbooks, and their effects on readers and students within an international context. In the opening section, contributors discuss theories of representation and effect, challenging the conventional Althusserian model of interpellation, and acknowledging the challenges of applying Western feminist models within an international context. Following chapters provide detailed analyses focusing on a number of different countries: Australia, Japan, Brazil, Finland, Russia, Hong Kong, Nigeria, Germany, Qatar, Tanzania, and Poland. Through linguistic analysis of vocabulary associated with women and men, content analysis of what women and men say in textbooks, and discourse analysis of the types of linguistic moves associated with women and men, contributors evaluate the extent to which gendered representations in textbooks perpetuate stereotypical gender roles, what the impact may be on learners, and the ways that both teachers and learners interact and engage with these texts.

Book Synopsis Gender and the Media by : Rosalind Gill
Download or read book Gender and the Media written by Rosalind Gill and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-10-02 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in a clear and accessible style, with lots of examples from Anglo-American media, Gender and the Media offers a critical introduction to the study of gender in the media, and an up-to-date assessment of the key issues and debates. Eschewing a straightforwardly positive or negative assessment the book explores the contradictory character of contemporary gender representations, where confident expressions of girl power sit alongside reports of epidemic levels of anorexia among young women, moral panics about the impact on men of idealized representations of the 'six-pack', but near silence about the pervasive re-sexualization of women's bodies, along with a growing use of irony and playfulness that render critique extremely difficult. The book looks in depth at five areas of media - talk shows, magazines, news, advertising, and contemporary screen and paperback romances - to examine how representations of women and men are changing in the twenty-first century, partly in response to feminist, queer and anti-racist critique. Gender and the Media is also concerned with the theoretical tools available for analysing representations. A range of approaches from semiotics to postcolonial theory are discussed, and Gill asks how useful notions such as objectification, backlash, and positive images are for making sense of gender in today's Western media. Finally, Gender and the Media also raises questions about cultural politics - namely, what forms of critique and intervention are effective at a moment when ironic quotation marks seem to protect much media content from criticism and when much media content - from Sex and the City to revenge adverts - can be labelled postfeminist. This is a book that will be of particular interest to students and scholars in gender and media studies, as well as those in sociology and cultural studies more generally.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled "Gender in Textbook Dialogues: Textual Analyses and Classroom Practices" submitted by Au Mei Yan Florence for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in August 2004 The field of language and gender reflects a widespread monolingual and monocultural bias since the textbooks and edited volumes in the field rarely incorporate bi-/ multilingual and second language learning studies. On the other hand, gender studies related to teaching material and classroom research in second or foreign language education, a major topic in multilingualism, often fail to consider the specification and contexts of research. This study of teaching materials and classroom practices adopts a feminist post-structuralist approach, a more context-sensitive, multifaceted, complicated and flexible approach to examine gender issues in EFL or ESL education in the multilingual society of Hong Kong. It clarifies the relationship between gender-biased texts and students' language learning, in terms of language learning opportunities and the acquisition of gender knowledge of the language. It also contributes to the studies of language and gender by elucidating gender issues in second or foreign language classrooms in a multilingual Asian society. It recognizes the complexity of second and foreign language education, sometimes downplayed in previous studies, by placing in its proper context, the interplay between teachers, students and teaching materials in language classrooms. The study first analyses gender representation in English textbook dialogues in terms of language functions, speech amount and content, primarily focusing on married couple and parent roles. It generally shows that husband/father and wife/mother roles are portrayed in stereotypical ways. Husbands and fathers lead, give factual information, and make decisions, whereas wives and mothers are passive agents on most conversational occasions, but experts on cooking, housework, child rearing and instructing. But multiple perspectives, including both negative and positive views, can be identified towards such gender representation. The research goes beyond simple textual analysis and examines how teachers and students use such sexist dialogues in the classroom. Interviews and observations demonstrate that many teachers and students reinforced the gender biases in textbook dialogues by role-playing same sex characters in the classroom, but there are some cases in which both teachers and students are against the stereotypes and diversity can even be found in the enforcing treatments. Based on the gender biases in the textbook dialogues and teachers' and students' treatments of them, it is possible that male and female students have unequal language practices in class. Subsequently, the students may even build up misconceptions on the gendered nature of verbal behavior in English-speaking societies but notably, such impacts may be varying to students even in the same class.

Book Synopsis Quality education by : Muchativugwa L. Hove
Download or read book Quality education written by Muchativugwa L. Hove and published by AOSIS. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the intersections between education, social justice, gendered violence and human rights in South African schools and universities. The rich and multifarious tapestry of scholarship and literature emanating from South African classrooms provides a fascinating lens through which we can understand the complex consequences of the economies of education, social justice imperatives, gendered violence in the lives of women and children, and marginalised communities. The scholarship in the book challenges readers to imagine alternative futures predicated on the transformational capacity of a democratic South Africa. Contributors to this volume examine the many ways in which social justice and gendered violence mirror, express, project, and articulate the larger phenomenon of human rights violations in Africa and how, in turn, the discourse of human rights informs the ways in which we articulate, interrogate, conceptualise, enact and interpret quality education. The book also wrestles with the linguistic contradictions and ambiguities in the articulation of quality education in public and private spaces. This book is essential reading for scholars seeking a solid grounding in exploring quality education, the instances of epistemic disobedience, the political implications of place and power, and human rights in theory and practice.

Book Synopsis Gender Representation In American Made English Language Learning Textbooks: A Multi-Modal Study by : Amy Simpson Burden
Download or read book Gender Representation In American Made English Language Learning Textbooks: A Multi-Modal Study written by Amy Simpson Burden and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using Critical Discourse Analysis and computational linguistics in the present study, I investigated the discursive representations of gender in two series of English Language Development textbooks in the largest markets in the USA Texas and California. In addition, I examined the pictorial gender representations within images of these two series adhering to Critical Image Analysis. I also engaged in previously unnavigated realms of learning material study by examining the linguistic and pictorial gendering of non-human characters as well as examining types and tokens of gendered language. I also investigated the roles genre played in gendered messaging in both series. Finally, I investigated how diversity, design, and access give power to some and not to others in these two series, employing Janks Interdependent Theory of Critical Literacy as my framework. The results indicate that while overt sexism has been removed from current US texts, more subtle forms of bias exist linguistically and pictorially that place males in positions of supremacy and suppress the accomplishments of females. These texts promote traditional gender and family roles while overrepresenting males and underrepresenting females when compared to US Census Data. Stories place males in adventurous, aggressive, and competitive environments that are not open to female agents. Female agents are most often seen at home or going home and appear confident within domestic spheres. Females are materialist while males are pragmatic. Through an investigation of non-humans, I found that females are small, underestimated, and unintelligent while males are big, cunning, and drawn as the norm. Female non-humans often are othered pictorially through adornment, facial features, and coloring.In addition, these texts lack genuine diversity or design, giving power and supremacy to white males while suppressing the voices of females. The texts do present multiple hybrid identities which allow males and females to access several varieties of discourse. Implications at the school, institutional, and societal level are discussed, and recommendations for challenging gender bias in teacher training and classroom discourse are given as well as a discussion of future research..
Book Synopsis Higher Education in Saudi Arabia by : Larry Smith
Download or read book Higher Education in Saudi Arabia written by Larry Smith and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first academically rigorous description and critical analysis of the Higher Education system in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and of the vision, strategies and policy imperatives for the future development of Saudi universities. The government of Saudi Arabia has recognized in both policy and practice the necessity of developing its university system to world-class standard. Significantly increasing access and participation in Higher Education across a range of traditional and non-traditional disciplines is directly relevant to the future social and economic growth of the country. This book addresses the way in which Saudi Arabia is moving to develop a quality university system that balances the need for students to gain the knowledge, skills and ‘ways of doing’ necessary to operate effectively on the world stage while simultaneously maintaining and demonstrating the fundamental values of the Islamic religion and culture. The book provides a description and critical analysis of the key components of the Saudi Higher Education system, and of system-level responses to the challenges and opportunities facing Saudi universities. It is written by a team of Saudi academics and authors of international standing from non-Saudi universities so as to provide both internal and external perspectives on all issues and to place information and ideas in the context of the international Higher Education scene.
