Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU security governance assesses the effectiveness of the EU as a security actor. The book has two distinct features. Firstly, it is the first systematic study of the different economic, political and military instruments employed by the EU in the performance of four different security functions. The book demonstrates that the EU has emerged as an important security actor, not only in the non-traditional areas of security, but increasingly as an entity with force projection capabilities. Secondly, the book represents an important step towards redressing conceptual gaps in the study of security governance, particularly as it pertains to the European Union. The book links the challenges of governing Europe's security to the changing nature of the state, the evolutionary expansion of the security agenda, and the growing obsolescence of the traditional forms and concepts of security cooperation.

Download or read book Packaging Girlhood written by Sharon Lamb, Ed.D. and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stereotype-laden message, delivered through clothes, music, books, and TV, is essentially a continuous plea for girls to put their energies into beauty products, shopping, fashion, and boys. This constant marketing, cheapening of relationships, absence of good women role models, and stereotyping and sexualization of girls is something that parents need to first understand before they can take action. Lamb and Brown teach parents how to understand these influences, give them guidance on how to talk to their daughters about these negative images, and provide the tools to help girls make positive choices about the way they are in the world. In the tradition of books like Reviving Ophelia, Odd Girl Out, Queen Bees and Wannabees that examine the world of girls, this book promises to not only spark debate but help parents to help their daughters.

Download or read book Designing for Sex and Gender Equity written by Isabel Prochner and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-19 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on original designer interviews, this book explores how design interventions can and do support sex and gender equity and what barriers still stand in the way. Isabel Prochner not only brings attention to sex and gender problems related to design artifacts but also provides a unique overview of creative design responses to these issues. The case studies and designer interviews provide new information about how designers can address these issues and the challenges they may encounter—whether that’s a lack of anthropometric data, trouble finding investment and business support, or even public resistance. Prochner brings together primary and secondary research and the most contemporary theories on sex, gender, and design. This book will be of interest to scholars working in design studies, sex and gender studies, social design, design for health, industrial design, product design, fashion design, and interaction design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide that helps parents focus on their children's unique strengths and inclinations rather than on gendered stereotypes to more effectively bring out the best in their individual children, for parents of infants to middle schoolers. Reliance on Gendered Stereotypes Negatively Impacts Kids Studies on gender and child development show that, on average, parents talk less to baby boys and are less likely to use numbers when speaking to little girls. Without meaning to, we constantly color-code children, segregating them by gender based on their presumed interests. Our social dependence on these norms has far-reaching effects, such as leading girls to dislike math or increasing aggression in boys. In this practical guide, developmental psychologist (and mother of two) Christia Spears Brown uses science-based research to show how over-dependence on gender can limit kids, making it harder for them to develop into unique individuals. With a humorous, fresh, and accessible perspective, Parenting Beyond Pink & Blueaddresses all the issues that contemporary parents should consider—from gender-segregated birthday parties and schools to sports, sexualization, and emotional intelligence. This guide empowers parents to help kids break out of pink and blue boxes to become their authentic selves.

Book excerpt: Barbie or Lego? Reading maps or reading emotions? Do you have a female brain or a male brain? Or is that the wrong question? On a daily basis we face deeply ingrained beliefs that our sex determines our skills and preferences, from toys and colours to career choice and salaries. But what does this mean for our thoughts, decisions and behaviour? Using the latest cutting-edge neuroscience, Gina Rippon unpacks the stereotypes that bombard us from our earliest moments and shows how these messages mould our ideas of ourselves and even shape our brains. Rigorous, timely and liberating, The Gendered Brainhas huge repercussions for women and men, for parents and children, and for how we identify ourselves. 'Highly accessible... Revolutionary to a glorious degree' Observer

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1970s a group of pioneering feminist entrepreneurs launched a movement that ultimately changed the way sex was talked about, had, and enjoyed. Boldly reimagining who sex shops were for and the kinds of spaces they could be, these entrepreneurs opened sex-toy stores like Eve’s Garden, Good Vibrations, and Babeland not just as commercial enterprises, but to provide educational and community resources as well. In Vibrator Nation Lynn Comella tells the fascinating history of how these stores raised sexual consciousness, redefined the adult industry, and changed women's lives. Comella describes a world where sex-positive retailers double as social activists, where products are framed as tools of liberation, and where consumers are willing to pay for the promise of better living—one conversation, vibrator, and orgasm at a time.

Download or read book The Handbook of Developmentally Appropriate Toys written by Doris Bergen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-03-20 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The handbook is composed of chapters by authors who discuss the important features of particular types of toys, provide information related to the developmental importance of this type of toy, discuss social and cultural issues engendered by play with such toys, and review the available research on the characteristics and potential impact on children’s developmental progress of toys of that type. Both traditional toys and technological toys are discussed. The handbook is expected to serve both as a reference for educators, parents, toy designers, and other interested readers, and as a catalyst for further research and ongoing toy development. Its purpose includes helping readers to gain knowledge that enables them to more fully appreciate the value of children’s toy play, find out more about the favorite toys they had in childhood and relive those satisfying play experiences, and learn how to foster the learning, physical development, and social-emotional growth that comes from such toy play.

Download or read book Toys and Communication written by Luísa Magalhães and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-14 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are few scholarly books about toys, and even fewer that consider toys within the context of culture and communication. Toys and Communication is an innovative collection that effectively showcases work by specialists who have sought to examine toys throughout history and in many cultures, including 1930’s Europe, Morocco, India, Spanish art of the 16th-19th centuries. Psychologists stress the importance of the role of toys and play in children’s language development and intellectual skills, and this book demonstrates the recurrent theme of the transmission of cultural norms through the portrayal, presentation and use of toys. The text establishes the role of toy and play park design in eliciting particular forms of play, as well as stressing the child’s use of toys to ‘become’ more adult. It will be beneficial for courses in education, developmental psychology, communications, media studies, and toy design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With radical and innovative design solutions, everyone could be living in buildings and settlements that are more like gardens than cargo containers, and that purify air and water, generate energy, treat sewage and produce food - at lower cost. Birkeland introduces systems design thinking that cuts across academic and professional boundaries and the divide between social and physical sciences to move towards a transdiciplinary approach to environmental and social problem-solving. This sourcebook is useful for teaching, as each topic within the field of environmental management and social change has pairs of short readings providing diverse perspectives to compare, contrast and debate. Design for Sustainability presents examples of integrated systems design based on ecological principles and concepts and drawn from the foremost designers in the fields of industrial design, materials, housing design, urban planning and transport, landscape and permaculture, and energy and resource management.

Download or read book Gender Development written by Susan Golombok and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-01-28 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender Development is the first book to examine gender from a truly developmental perspective and fills a real need for a textbook and source book for college and graduate students, parents, teachers, researchers, and counsellors. It examines the processes involved in the development of gender, addressing such sensitive and complex questions as what causes males and females to be different and why they behave in different ways. The authors provide an up-to-date, integrative review of theory and research, tracing gender development from the moment of conception through adulthood and emphasising the complex interaction of biology, socialisation, and cognition. The topics covered include hormonal influences, moral development, play and friendships, experiences at school and work, and psychopathology.

Download or read book The Toy A/isles written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children's toys are marketed to our youngest and most vulnerable consumers, yet few parents are aware of the powerful messages toys project about personal identity and gender. My project addresses concerns about the increasingly gender-polarized design and marketing of children's toys -- a trend that is currently saturating mainstream toy stores with an overabundance of hyper-masculine toys on one side of the store and hyper-feminine ones on the other. Toy branding uses two distinct visual languages to clearly distinguish boy and girl toys as contrasting objects that are not meant to be intermixed. Children learn from very early ages which area of the store is designated for them. Not only are design elements such as color and typography used in polarizing ways to indicate the intended gender, but children are presented with two extremely opposing play narratives -- adventure and violence for boys versus fashion and caretaking for girls. It has been argued that these are "natural" play preferences between boys and girls, but there is equal evidence that children's understanding of gender roles is highly influenced by the ways these behaviors are encouraged or discouraged. Today's toy market primarily offers play options that reinforce stereotypical and gender-segregated themes and fails to represent modern advances in gender equality. The Toy A/Isles exposes visitors to the underlying social implications of gender-dichotomized children's toys by means of the narrative of a fictional land of toys in an interactive gallery experience. As a graphic designer, I am concerned with the role my profession plays in developing gender-polarized branding that supports this current trend and committed to using graphic design instead as a tool to raise awareness and incite change. Graphic design is a powerful instrument for presenting complex social issues to audiences in accessible ways. This project transforms data collected from toy stores, advertisements, websites, and toy packaging, into narrative panels that both reveal the toy industry's overtly sexist messages and proposes opportunities to resist them. With this information I hope to inspire parents to examine their current consumption patterns, engage in conversations with their children about gender equality, and demand wider and less gender-stereotypical options from toy manufacturers. This project also challenges graphic design professionals to consider the social implications of the products their skills are helping to promote. Through my work, I am both questioning the power of graphic design in shaping this cultural phenomenon of gender divided toys and using graphic design as a tool to spark parents' interest on the topic since they (and their children) have the voices toy companies care about. The Toy A/Isles thesis exhibition, held at the Everett Gee Jackson Gallery at San Diego State University on April 20-25, 2013, offered visitors an opportunity to experience an interpretation of the gender-divided toy market.
