Gender mainstreaming was chosen as a major strategy for the promotion of gender equality in the Beijing Platform for Action in 2002. This approach has been adopted in research policy in many countries, including Norway. We ask: Has the share of published research that includes sex and/or gender perspectives increased during the last decade in…

The civil rights of transgender and non-binary youth in Texas were the focus of proposed laws during the 87th and 88th legislative sessions. These laws aimed to restrict access to educational resources, healthcare, and transition services. The response from non-profit organizations and youth-led protest movements represented a significant change…

We evaluate the effects of teaching negotiation skills to adolescent girls in economically vulnerable compounds in Lusaka, Zambia ten years later. Treated participants complete 0.27 more years of education. Consistent with greater relational empowerment, they also begin sexual activity later, marry later, have smaller age gaps with their husbands,…

When seeking to explain social regularities (such as gender differences in the labor market) people often rely on internal features of the targets, frequently neglecting structural and systemic factors external to the targets. For example, people might think women leave the job market after childbirth because they are less competent or are better…

This article explores how female university students' abilities to present themselves as 'authentic' engineers are imbricated with discursive constructions of gender and gender equality. The empirical data comes from interviews and video diaries collected with three female engineering students. The analysis demonstrates the power of the Swedish…

Over the past decade, public awareness of transgender people has rapidly increased. Yet people who do not conform to the expectations of their assigned gender often face social prejudice and structural marginalization. Within this context, an increasing number of education researchers have shown interest in taking up questions related to…

In this paper, I argue that the critical capacity of the intersectional perspective is enhanced when it is articulated with the materialist perspective that involves a particular type of practice. This practice read social processes as part of a complex whole structure with tensions, ambiguities, and contradictions. It intervenes conceiving theory…

At a cultural moment in which the horrifying is central, what are the pedagogical options available by which to teach and think with our students? Horror movies, like all media, are mythmakers; media and culture reflect and reproduce but also create or consolidate. Teaching horror leads to new conversations, makes the familiar strange, and gives…

Guidance for schools now includes policy to address sexual harassment and statutory requirements to deliver relationships and sex education, yet recent evidence shows that sexual harassment, in schools and online, remains a pernicious problem. Why does educating for gender equality feel like resistance, and what are educators actually resisting?…

Current global crises (e.g. COVID-19 pandemic and climate change) necessitate changes to mathematics curricula, especially related to using mathematics to solve real-world problems. We begin with the Programme for International Student Assessment's (PISA) framework for mathematical literacy (FML), since it functions as a global guide for…

We investigated how gender is represented in children's books using a novel 200,000 word corpus comprising 247 popular, contemporary books for young children. Using human judgments and word co-occurrence data, we quantified gender biases of words in individual books and in the whole corpus. We find that children's books contain many words that…

With growing attention to youth's efforts to address sexual and gender diversity issues in Gender-Sexuality Alliances (GSAs), there remains limited research on adult advisors. Do advisor characteristics predict their youth members' advocacy? Among 58 advisors of 38 GSAs, we considered whether advisor attributes predicted greater advocacy by youth…

We study the conditional gender wage gap among faculty at public research universities in the U.S. We begin by using a cross-sectional dataset from 2016 to replicate the long-standing finding in research that conditional on rich controls, female faculty earn less than their male colleagues. Next, we construct a data panel to track the evolution of…

Learners' efficacy beliefs are an important determinant of their performance and future study in an academic domain, and recent work has highlighted the complexities associated with promoting learners' statistics efficacy. The current study tested the effectiveness of a course-embedded, activity-driven intervention, grounded in principles of…
