Gender Non-Conformity in Elementary Schools: Learning from the Experiences of Children who do not Conform to Gender Stereotypes
DownloadFall 2014
This qualitative research study seeks to understand the educational experiences of elementary aged children who do not conform to gender stereotypes. The study explores the educational experiences of three children who have all identified as transgender while in elementary school. The study also
experience as a separate case and then brought the experiences together to represent a collective case. The data collected consisted of interviews, observation notes, personal narratives and educational documents. The data collected indicates that conceptualizing gender along the binary of male and female
does not allow for the creation of inclusive educational environments for students who do not conform to this binary. Therefore it is necessary to expand the understanding of gender to create a new normativity that accommodates gender diversity. In order to create inclusive educational environments

Why Don’t “Real Men” Learn Languages? Masculinity Threat and Gender Ideology Suppress Men’s Language Learning Motivation
Download2019-01-01
Chaffee, K. E., Lou, N. M., Noels, K. A., Katz, J. W.
Large gender disparities in participation still exist across many university subjects and career fields, but few studies have examined factors that account for gender gaps in female-dominated disciplines. We examine one possible cause: threatened masculinity among men who hold traditional gender
ideologies. Past research has linked endorsement of traditional gender ideologies to gender-stereotypical occupational choices, and threats to masculinity can lead men to distance themselves from femininity. After confirming that 1672 undergraduates stereotyped language learning as feminine, we applied a
threat compared to men whose masculinity was affirmed or who held less traditional masculinity beliefs. Traditional masculine gender roles may lead some men to avoid “feminine”-typed domains such as foreign language learning.

Fall 2018

gender and political leadership and Alberta political culture? To answer this question, I conducted a content and discourse analysis of 154 political cartoons presenting Alberta premiers Rachel Notley, Alison Redford, and Ed Stelmach during their first eighteen months in office. I argue that while

Women are Discriminated Against within Politics in Indigenous Communities Because of their Gender
DownloadFall 2017
The purpose of this study was to prove that women are discriminated against within politics in Indigenous Communities because of their gender. It will demonstrate how the Cree people historically were once an egalitarian society. Even though women were not often seen in leadership roles, such as
, continue to be discriminated against. Yes, the laws have changed to eliminate gender discrimination, but now they face it within their own communities, by their own people. Women continue to be devalued and struggle to be treated as equals. Women have never been elected as chief and continue to be

Professional identity, commitment and gender in engineering: exploring the (mis)match between dispositions and cultures
DownloadFall 2010
Connell’s constructionist perspective on gender, the dominant norms of the profession, the idealized traits and dispositions of engineers, and the impacts of a (mis)match between these broader norms and individual traits on commitment, are examined. The dissertation is structured around chapters that: 1
engineers (or the engineering habitus): a strong work ethic, individual responsibility, and being rational problem-solvers; 5) analyze a primary engineering trait, technical orientation, in relation to retention and gender; 6) describe masculinities enacted in the profession and how they parallel
