Doing Gender
Tập 1 Số 2 - Trang 125-151 - 1987
The purpose of this article is to advance a new understanding of gender as a
routine accomplishment embedded in everyday interaction. To do so entails a
critical assessment of existing perspectives on sex and gender and the
introduction of important distinctions among sex, sex category, and gender. We
argue that recognition of the analytical independence of these concepts is
essential for understa...
HIERARCHIES, JOBS, BODIES:
Tập 4 Số 2 - Trang 139-158 - 1990
In spite of feminist recognition that hierarchical organizations are an
important location of male dominance, most feminists writing about organizations
assume that organizational structure is gender neutral. This article argues that
organizational structure is not gender neutral; on the contrary, assumptions
about gender underlie the documents and contracts used to construct
organizations and to ...
The Gender Revolution
Tập 24 Số 2 - Trang 149-166 - 2010
In this article, the author describes sweeping changes in the gender system and
offers explanations for why change has been uneven. Because the devaluation of
activities done by women has changed little, women have had strong incentive to
enter male jobs, but men have had little incentive to take on female activities
or jobs. The gender egalitarianism that gained traction was the notion that
women...
Framed Before We Know It
Tập 23 Số 2 - Trang 145-160 - 2009
In this article, I argue that gender is a primary cultural frame for
coordinating behavior and organizing social relations. I describe the
implications for understanding how gender shapes social behavior and
organizational structures. By my analysis, gender typically acts as a background
identity that biases, in gendered directions, the performance of behaviors
undertaken in the name of organizati...
Normative Discrimination and the Motherhood Penalty
Tập 24 Số 5 - Trang 616-646 - 2010
This research proposes and tests a new theoretical mechanism to account for a
portion of the motherhood penalty in wages and related labor market outcomes. At
least a portion of this penalty is attributable to discrimination based on the
assumption that mothers are less competent and committed than other types of
workers. But what happens when mothers definitively prove their competence and
commit...
OVERCOMING PATRIARCHAL CONSTRAINTS:
Tập 6 Số 3 - Trang 393-415 - 1992
This article examines how gender shapes the migration and settlement experiences
of Mexican immigrant women and men. The article compares the experiences of
families in which the husbands departed prior to 1965 to those in which the
husbands departed after 1965 and argues that the lengthy spousal separations
altered (albeit differentially for each group) patterns of patriarchal authority
and the t...
Doing, Undoing, or Redoing Gender?
Tập 24 Số 1 - Trang 31-55 - 2010
Drawing from the perspectives of transgender individuals, this article offers an
empirical investigation of recent critiques of West and Zimmerman’s “doing
gender” theory. This analysis uses 19 in-depth interviews with transpeople about
their negotiation and management of gendered interactions at work to explore how
their experiences potentially contribute to the doing, undoing, or redoing of
gend...
“JUST EVERY MOTHER'S ANGEL”
Tập 9 Số 4 - Trang 408-431 - 1995
Few studies of gangs have explored both ethnic and gender variations in the
experience of gang membership. Based on an analysis of interviews with 48 youth
from a number of ethnic gangs in Hawaii, this article explores boys' and girls'
reasons for joining gangs. The results suggest that although gang members face
common problems, they deal with these in ways that are uniquely informed by
gender an...
Gender Inequality and Time Allocations Among Academic Faculty
Tập 24 Số 6 - Trang 769-793 - 2010
This article focuses on faculty members’ allocation of time to teaching and
research, conceptualizing these—and the mismatch between preferred and actual
time allocations—as examples of gender inequality in academic employment.
Utilizing data from the 1999 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty, I find
that (1) women faculty members prefer to spend a greater percentage of their
time on teaching, ...
GENDER ROLE ATTITUDES IN THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES
Tập 9 Số 6 - Trang 744-756 - 1995
It is widely believed that gender role attitudes are more traditional in the
southern United States than elsewhere in the nation. We examine this notion,
using eight gender-related questions from the NORC General Social Survey data.
Responses to these questions suggest that Southerners tend to hold more
conservative opinions on questions about women in politics and employed women.
On questions of ...
