This thesis is a result of ethnographic research conducted at the Belgrade Astronomical Observatory in 2015-2018 period, among Serbian astronomers and astrophysicists. The thesis is threefold: it focuses on the intersection of knowledge production, post-socialism and gender issues in today’s Serbia

“epistemic culture” of the Belgrade Astronomical Observatory in terms of performing science in the specific historical and political circumstances: the realities of post-socialist Serbia and the legacy of socialist Yugoslavia. Special attention is given to the issue of gender and women in science, and a

seeming paradox of having a gender balance but still experiencing a strong “glass ceiling” effect at the Observatory. In this thesis, I argue that the Observatory serves as a protective bubble that shields researchers from the chaotic socio-political circumstances of contemporary Serbia. Despite modest

Drawing on the relational developmental systems meta-model and a gender relations theoretical perspective, the present study analyzed data from 1,932 heterosexual couples from Waves 1 and 2 of the Germany Family Panel to answer three questions: (1) What are the longitudinal associations between

competence) on anxiety symptoms and on the co-variation between peer experiences and anxiety symptoms. The fourth goal was to examine gender differences in these associations. These research goals were addressed using a series of two-level hierarchical linear models. Participants were 180 ethnically diverse

adolescents’ friendships did not co-vary with their anxiety symptoms. Furthermore, neither self-blaming attributions nor social competence moderated the associations between adolescents’ anxiety symptoms and their peer experiences. There were also no gender differences in these associations. Overall, these

findings expand current understanding of early adolescent anxiety symptoms by focusing on person-level variability in anxiety. How these findings parse the complex interplay between gender, and peer and individual risk and protective factors are discussed within the context of developmental psychopathology.

and women is pervasive even though gender equality is regarded as a basic human right. Compared to men, the average woman attains lower education, participates less in the formal labour market, receives lower wages, owns fewer resources, and exhibits weaker bargaining positions in household decision

-making processes. In India, women and girls frequently face social and structural barriers. Policymakers regularly employ gender-sensitive measure to attempt to close the inequality gap, but such policies are extremely difficult to implement correctly. Rather, the use of gender-neutral interventions such

reallocation of land from women to men (keeping all else constant) could significantly increase total agricultural production. Therefore, scholars have continually sought to explain if women farmers are inherently less productive then men farmers; or if the gender-differentiated profits can be explained by

approaches: theories of childhood, critical literacy theory, critical race theory and intersectionality. The complexity of identities and inequalities depicted in both Three Wishes and The Breadwinner series proposes an integrated look into categories of gender, class, race, ethnicity. The investigation of

globalized child and universal childhood will be brought into question. Because Ellis’s figurations of the child problematize not only race and culture but gender as well, a large part of this thesis will focus on issues around gender, especially in relation to The Breadwinner series. The issue of burqa and

relation to gender. When it comes to Three Wishes it will be important to consider how the children’s voice is posited within this work, and re-posited outside of it, in a wider political context—are these children perceived as the “Other,” or as universal?

front of it, using photography to explore how travel can be meaningful in relation to gender transition. Travel can serve as a transitional time for anyone, providing an escape from social pressures that allows us to build a sense of self, confidence, and empowerment. A transitional time is especially

important during a literal gender transition, allowing for self-reflection and an escape from the discomfort of local stresses. The need to reconstruct and rediscover the self came with a need to reevaluate my photography — returning to a more physical process aided in this as it allowed for a greater
