Analysing the Dynamics of Change: Using longitudinal, panel and cross section...futureagricultures
This document introduces three types of studies - longitudinal, panel, and cross-sectional - that examine dynamic social, environmental, and technological change over time. It provides examples from the Future Agricultures Consortium's APRA Programme, which uses mixed-methods longitudinal and panel studies to analyze the differential impacts of agricultural commercialization on livelihoods in multiple African countries. Preliminary findings from APRA panel studies in Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe suggest agricultural commercialization may be reducing income poverty, though the results are early and limited.

The Gender Budgeting in Andalusia: understanding pro-equity policies in the age of austerity, by Vanessa Puig-Barrachina, Marisol Ruiz, Davide Malmusi, Esther Sánchez, Lluís Camprubí, Imma Cortès, Lucía Artazcoz, M. Mar García-Calvente, Pat O'Campo, Carles Muntaner, Carme Borrell. Presented at the 7th European Public Health Conference: "Mind the gap: Reducing inequalities in health and health care". Glasgow, 20th to 22nd November 2014.
Three individuals at York University received the President's University-Wide Teaching Awards for demonstrating exceptional and innovative teaching methods. One of the recipients was Krista Hunt, an adjunct professor in the Department of Political Science and a learning specialist. Hunt was recognized for providing outstanding experiential learning opportunities and creating an inclusive and empowering learning environment in courses about violence against women and gender and development. She developed an online education tool called Teach.Learn.Change as a classroom resource and takes an approach to teaching that promotes diversity, engages different learning styles, and challenges assumptions.
The Effect of Culture on Public Library Use in New-Comer PopulationsCILIPScotland
Rachel Salzano is a PhD student researching the effect of culture on public library use among newcomer populations. She conducted a pilot study using an online questionnaire and follow-up interviews with international students from non-Western backgrounds studying in a Western country. Her preliminary findings suggest that accessibility, economic status, and social status may influence public library use based on cultural factors. She plans to further analyze the pilot study data, refine her research tools, and conduct a full study in 2021 to better understand how culture impacts public library use among newcomer groups.
Prior to Islam in pre-Islamic Arabia, women had some freedoms but were still subordinate to men. They played important economic roles but did not have equal status. With the rise of Islam, Muhammad established teachings of equality before Allah and strengthened women's rights, such as in inheritance, divorce and banning female infanticide. However, over time as the Abbasid dynasty became more decadent, women's status declined with practices like veiling, seclusion in harems, and restrictions on their movements outside the home.
Gender planning aims to ensure equality and equity between women and men through empowering women in developing societies. It focuses on the relationship between gender and development, formulating gender policy, and implementing gender-sensitive planning practices. Fairness demands that everyone, regardless of gender, has equal opportunities. Gender planning can be conceptualized in three ways: as target-group planning focusing on women; as participatory planning that shapes identities and needs; and by addressing how planning reproduces social categories like gender. Case studies from Namibia, India, and Tunisia show how gender analysis and participatory research methods were used to inform agricultural and development policies to make them more responsive to women's roles and needs.
This document outlines a gender training module that covers various topics related to women's empowerment. The module contains 12 sections that address issues such as gender sensitization, gender planning, policies and programs for women, the girl child, women and law, economic empowerment of women, and political empowerment. Each section includes multiple sub-modules that provide objectives, contents, and training methods for workshops addressing different gender issues. The document also includes a bibliography and descriptions of 122 short films that can be used as audio-visual aids in gender training.

"Quality Standards to Quality Assured Indicators: The End-to-End Process", presentation delivered by John Varlow (Director of Information Services - HSCIC) and Nick Baillie (Associate Director, Indicators, Health and Social Care Quality Team, NICE), at the Healthcare Efficiency Through Technology Expo 2013.
The document discusses concepts of leadership including defining leadership as influencing others to achieve goals. It outlines qualities of effective leaders such as being visionary, good communicators, and motivators. The document also examines theories of leadership including the Great Man Theory that leaders are born not made, Blake and Mouton's managerial grid theory, and trait theory focusing on inherent leader traits. It distinguishes between the roles of leaders who focus on vision and goals versus managers who focus on efficiency and productivity. In conclusion, the document states that great leaders inspire and motivate the best in others.
Social Exclusion and Social Inclusion of Transnational Migrants in Actioncomparsociology
This document discusses a sociological analysis of social inclusion and exclusion of transnational migrants in St. Petersburg, Russia. It has three main sections. The first discusses theoretical frameworks around social inclusion/exclusion and defines key concepts. The second examines Russia's immigration regime and policies, as well as trends in transnational student migrants. The third describes field research methods used to study everyday life practices of migrant students in St. Petersburg from 2009-2012, including interviews and observations. It aims to understand exclusion processes and identify challenges for sociological perspectives in exploring migrant integration.

This document discusses the shift in migration studies from examining "sites" to studying "fields" through a transnational lens. It outlines three main points:
1) Transnational theory considers migrants as both immigrants and emigrants, examining sending, transit, and receiving contexts as well as social, economic, and cultural flows between places.
2) Research focuses on dispersed social fields rather than geographic locations, requiring multi-sited fieldwork across places. This revives comparative approaches and makes ethnography transnational.
3) Practicing multi-sited research involves following actors and objects across places, balancing between sites, and piecing together different local ethnographies while managing challenges of access and cultural competence.

In de UK is het veel gebruikelijker dat bewoners en bedrijven (mede)verantwoordelijk zijn voor hun directe leefomgeving. Premier David cameron maakt zich hard voor het ontwikkelen van de "Big Society" om locale gemeenteschappen meer kracht te geven. Onze hoofdspreker Steve Clare van Locality, een Britse netwerk van vijfhonderd buurtbeheerorganisaties, vertelt ons over zijn praktijkervaringen in de UK. Hoe zijn de locale bewoners actief in het beheer van hun buurt? Wat levert dat de buurten en de gemeente op? Met welke wetgeving en organisatievormen hebben ze dat voor elkaar gekregen? En wat kunnen wij in Nederland van hen leren? Doen wij al veel aan bewonersparticipatie, of staan wij pas aan het begin van een onomkeerbare verandering...?
Teletalk Bangladesh provides mobile phone services in Bangladesh. The report discusses five key dimensions of service quality - reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and tangibles - and provides recommendations for how Teletalk can improve their performance in each dimension. A SWOT analysis identifies Teletalk's strengths as having low costs and being the only indigenous GSM provider, while weaknesses include a lack of network development and promotional activities. Improving service quality across the five dimensions can help Teletalk increase customer loyalty and satisfaction.
Transnationalism refers to connections and exchanges across national borders through economic, political, social, and cultural ties. It involves individuals and groups maintaining relationships with friends, family, institutions, and communities in both their country of origin and destination. Factors like globalization, improved transportation, and communication technologies have made it easier for migrants and other groups to develop and sustain transnational networks and identities. Transnational communities are formed through cross-border interactions and shared interests rather than attachment to a single territory, though migrant communities are often the most significant examples.
This document contains the proof of two problems using the Inclusion/Exclusion Principle (IEP). For the first problem, it is proven that if the size of the union of two finite sets A and B is less than the sum of their individual sizes, then their intersection is empty. For the second problem, a formula is derived for the size of the union of a finite set A and the complement of another finite set B within a universal set U. The formula obtained is the size of U minus the size of B plus the size of the intersection of A and B.
This document discusses theories of change and how they are being used at ILRI to guide planning and ensure accountability. It provides an example of a theory of change diagram for an index-based livestock insurance project. The key points are:
1. Theories of change emphasize how research outputs will translate into impacts and explain the assumptions behind this causal logic.
2. An example theory of change diagram for an index-based livestock insurance project is presented, showing how research, products, outcomes, and impacts are linked.
3. Theories of change need to clarify the evidence supporting the causal pathways, assumptions being made, and how change will occur at different levels and spheres of influence.
This document introduces an online tool called UNDP Gender Made Easy that provides resources to help mainstream gender into work. The tool offers quick overviews on including women and men in programs and projects, partnership and advocacy for gender equality, and creating a gender-sensitive office environment. Users can also access learning materials, take quizzes, and share resources. The document encourages visiting the tool's website and contacting the gender team for hands-on training sessions.
Transparency and Accountability: Civil society calls for reformsStavros A. Zenios
Presentation at the LSE-London School of Economics conference on "The Cyprus Recovery Plan: A Midterm Assessment".
Where I make two points: First that the narrative presenting Cyprus as a money-laundering-tax-haven is an unsubstantiated exaggeration used to facilitate depositor bail-in in dealings during the Cyprus crisis; second, that Cyprus civil society is mobilizing against corruption, demanding transparency and accountability from its political system. Concrete proposals made by civil society groups and the successes so far are discussed.
The document discusses the seven Army core values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage. It provides the definition of values and defines each of the Army values. The document then tells the story of PFC Stuart S. Stryker who demonstrated duty, personal courage, loyalty, and honor when he voluntarily led a charge against enemy positions, inspiring his platoon until he was killed. PFC Stryker was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions.
This document provides an overview of CEDAW (the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women) and the human rights-based approach to achieving gender equality. It discusses how CEDAW establishes gender equality as a human right and outlines state obligations to eliminate discrimination against women. CEDAW's monitoring and reporting process involves states submitting regular reports to the CEDAW Committee, which then engages in a dialogue and issues concluding comments to provide guidance on further implementing gender equality.
Social awareness involves understanding the problems faced by societies and communities on a daily basis. It is important for better understanding and improving society. Advertisements can help spread social awareness by focusing on social issues, developing empathy, and learning how to be assertive to address problems faced by communities as a whole.
This document discusses capacity building and knowledge creation in organizations. It defines capacity building as developing skills, abilities, and resources to help organizations adapt and thrive. Capacity building can occur at the individual, institutional, and societal levels. It is important for innovation, efficiency, effectiveness, stability, and survival. However, capacity building does not happen naturally and requires recognizing needs, strategies, and investing time and money. Knowledge is at the base of capacity building and exists in both formal and informal ways. It can be created through participation and reification using a knowledge spiral process of socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization. For educational institutions, knowledge creation can occur through curriculum reforms, continued learning opportunities, knowledge services, dynamic
The document discusses the concept of transparency at the individual, team, and organizational levels. It defines transparency as the ready availability of explicit information. At the individual level, transparency means being able to bring one's full candid self to work and share information openly. At the team level, transparency involves writing all plans, roles, projects, policies, and progress publicly. At the organizational level, transparency could become a new workforce expectation and strategic approach, but it cannot be dictated from the top and requires building trust through open sharing of information. Overall, transparency is said to create intimacy, enable feedback, and may be a new cultural norm in the future.
The document discusses factors that influence self-esteem and types of attributions people make about themselves and others. It identifies lack of awareness, egoism, and fear of change as barriers to developing self-esteem. Relationship in family, peers, intelligence, socioeconomic status, nicknames, and appearance are noted as influencing self-esteem. Stable, global, and internal attributions are also mentioned as ways people attribute causes of events.

This document provides an overview of a research paper on the topics of peace and political conflicts in the era of globalization and digital capitalism. It discusses how globalization can generate cultural, social, and political conflicts as people become part of a global community. It also examines how technological changes have impacted notions of truth. The research paper aims to analyze key determining factors for peace or conflict, the role of political leadership models, and the impact of technology. It outlines the research methodology, which takes a qualitative, descriptive and analytical approach through literature review on concepts of information, peace, conflicts and leadership. The theoretical framework discusses relevant philosophical and scientific concepts pertaining to the research topics.

Lesson 3 Gender and Sexuality As a Subject of Inquiry (1).pdfClaireAndreaBaldoza
Sexual orientation is about who you’re attracted to and want to have relationships with. Sexual orientations include gay, lesbian, straight, bisexual, and asexual. Sexual orientation is about who you’re attracted to and who you feel drawn to romantically, emotionally, and sexually. It’s different than gender identity. Gender identity isn’t about who you’re attracted to, but about who you ARE — male, female, genderqueer, etc.
Debate on Political Leadership,in the era of Digital CapitalismAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: In this article, the leadership of political formations is described in the era of Digital Capitalism.
The history of political formations corresponds to the way in which collective spaces of action, between
politicians and citizens of each country, geographical region or world political organization, which is the
expression of a "we" resulting from the interactions and conflicts of the actors (politicians, political
organizations, state and citizens). Knowledge and information are determining factors of social transformations,
not only of their distribution in the social space, but also of collective agents possessing knowledge and
information, with the support of information and communication technologies (ICT's).
This issue arises, as relevant due to the accelerated development of Information and Communication
Technologies, and its dissemination among people, which is contributing to the globalization and development
of the Knowledge Society in the digital age. We have new types of issues, especially about the relationship
between action / technology / society. As we will argue, a new way of understanding the world, human beings
and the relationship between them is coming up.
Keywords: Information, Knowledge, Political Leadership, Political Decision, Digital Capitalism.

Glossary of gender related terms and conceptsiesjacaranda
This document provides definitions for key gender-related terms used in development work. It defines sex as the biological characteristics that define humans as male or female. Gender is defined as the socially constructed roles, relationships, and attributes ascribed to the two sexes. Other terms defined include gender equality, gender equity, practical gender needs, strategic gender interests, and gender mainstreaming. Gender analysis and how projects can be designed to be gender-neutral, gender-sensitive, or gender-transformative are also summarized.
This document summarizes the methodology and preliminary findings of a research project analyzing how issues related to sexuality and gender are taught in Argentine universities. The researchers conducted interviews with 23 professors, focus groups, and surveys of 349 students. They found that while interest exists, sexuality and gender are not widely incorporated into curricula due to institutional, ideological and disciplinary obstacles. Disciplines like social sciences and humanities take a more critical approach while fields like medicine and law tend to be more conservative. Further dialogue is needed to overcome divides between paradigms and disciplines.

Making Rights Matter – Feminized Migration and Political Transnationalism by ...NIAS
This document discusses feminized migration and political transnationalism. It notes that while migration is often feminized, the term itself is a misnomer. Many countries now see large percentages of female migrants, especially in sectors like manufacturing and care work. Migrant labor is transforming labor relations as non-profits fill institutional gaps in organizing female and migrant workers. Temporary migration policies can politicize workers and foster "political remittances" between origin and destination countries. Collective activism across borders aims to make migrant rights portable and matter in practice through transnational networks. Future research on gender and rights could analyze these networks from the perspectives of participating individuals.
Race racism and racists: An epistemological critiqueHamish Robertson
Racism is a belief system not based in scientific evidence. Race is a social construct with no biological basis, yet it persists due to beliefs that are reproduced through social and political systems. Racists believe in race regardless of evidence, inverting the causal relationship between racism and race. Academia contributes to perpetuating racist beliefs by producing knowledge framed as though race is real without sufficient critique. Dismantling racist discourse requires unpacking the language of race rather than reifying it through research.
Shifting landscape of lgbt org researchArushi Verma
This document provides an overview of organizational research on LGBT individuals from the late 19th century to present. It identifies four dominant frames that have shaped this research: 1) a medical abnormality frame that viewed LGBT people as abnormal and focused on etiology; 2) a deviant social role frame that studied how deviant roles were enacted; 3) a collective identity frame focused on rights, equality, and strategies for visibility and addressing discrimination; and 4) a social distinctiveness frame that examines what makes LGBT workers and organizations distinct. These frames significantly influenced the scope and questions of LGBT organizational scholarship over time.

Chapter 6 Qualitative Research Typologies.pptPatrickLlamas2
The document provides an overview of different qualitative research methods, including phenomenology, ethnography, case study research, grounded theory, historiography, hermeneutics, narrative analysis, participatory action research, and secondary analysis. For each method, it describes the research purpose, typical data collection approaches, data analysis techniques, and expected narrative report focus. The document aims to educate readers on the key dimensions and approaches used in various qualitative research designs.
From the different worldviews between these groups, we discuss positionality and access to data, i.e. the ways characteristics such as socio-economic, education, social status, and gender influence the research. The idea is not to set ‘rights’ and ‘wrongs’, but to ponder on how successful (or not) were our attempts and reflect on unforeseen effects of our own work.
This document provides a literature review and background on a study examining factors influencing the political participation of students at the University of Johannesburg. It discusses the following key points in 3 sentences:
The study aims to understand why political participation has declined among South African youth by examining how students' demographic characteristics and perceptions of the ruling ANC party influence their participation. The literature review covers political participation in general, and how race, class, and perceptions of the ANC have been found to shape political involvement. The document provides context on the study which used a survey to quantitatively measure how factors like race, class, and views of government affect the political participation of students at the University of Johannesburg.
Political Activity of Women and Men – the Psychosocial Determinants of Conven...Przegląd Politologiczny
This document summarizes a study on the psychosocial determinants of political activity among women and men. The study surveyed 1048 Polish university students in 2004, 2010, and 2014. It found that gender differences in political activity are slowly decreasing over time. The study measured levels of conventional political activity, hierarchies of political values, beliefs about the importance of political activity, satisfaction with democracy, and individualism vs. collectivism. It aimed to determine how these factors influence political activity levels among women and men. The results showed that convictions about the significance of political activity and satisfaction with democracy were the most important predictors of women's political engagement.
This document summarizes a presentation on gender and climate change discourses in policy and research. It notes that while gender is gaining attention in climate change policies due to adaptation and vulnerability, the premises for integrating gender are based on weak evidence. It also critiques recent research on gender and agroforestry that tabulates gender-disaggregated data but lacks careful gender analysis. The presentation proposes using feminist political ecology as a conceptual framework and discourse analysis to better understand power relationships around environmental narratives and their social impacts. It highlights issues with simplistic gender stereotypes and instrumental uses of gender in policy that may weaken credibility and reproduce inequalities.

This document provides an overview of large marine ecosystems (LMEs) and efforts to implement ecosystem-based management (EBM) of LMEs. It notes that LMEs produce 80% of global fisheries catches and contribute $12.6 trillion annually to the global economy. The document outlines the five module assessment approach used for LMEs, including productivity, fish/fisheries, pollution, socioeconomics, and governance. It discusses how the Global Environment Facility has provided $6.01 billion since 1994 to support EBM planning and implementation projects in 22 LMEs. The LME approach is now the cornerstone of the GEF's ocean management strategy.

This document provides information about governance analysis as part of the TDA/SAP process. It defines governance as the process of decision-making and implementation. Governance analysis examines the key aspects of political, economic, and civil society processes. It focuses on the dynamics of these relationships. There is no agreed approach, and the type of analysis will depend on the cultural, political, and social structures of the countries involved. The governance analysis should consider the decision-making, institutional, policy, and civil society arrangements that influence economic and political decisions affecting the issues being analyzed. The document provides advice to go beyond formal structures and understand informal dynamics and relationships.

achieve gender equality
• Gender training
► transformative
► deeply political (resistances)
► highly contextual
2. Contextualising gender training
►Gender machinery (internal/external):
existence of loci designated to care for
gender (or gender+) equality policies
►Other influential voices: other political
actors like NGOs or other segments of
civil society, or political parties, unions and
similar organisations, think tanks
3. Contextualising gender training (2)
►Equality climate: socio-cultural climate
(media, science and culture) and
institutional climate.
►Gender mainstreaming history: past
gender mainstreaming efforts, or diversity
management activities, or variations of
both, and what status such activities were
given in the overall political framework.
4. Contextualising gender training (3)
►Gender expertise: level of available
gender expertise.
► Gender data: availability of gender data
6. Gender in research content
