“…Banning (1997) has utilized visual ethnography in multiple higher education settings to assess values, ethics and climate. He has harnessed the power of this methodology to assess campus ecology for messages of sexism (Banning, 1992), messages about Hispanic/Latino culture (Banning & Luna, 1992), homoprejudice (Banning, 1995), and messages about gender (Banning, Sexton, Most, & Maier, 2007). His work has established multiple taxonomies with which to analyze the photograph (Banning, 1997;Banning & Bartels, 1997;Banning et al, 2008).…”

“…To triangulate the analysis another five images were collected at the 2012 summer conference of the American Society of Animal Science and another 41 images were collected from State's College of Agriculture. To further triangulate and add depth to the investigation and the equity assessment, the websites from the three institutions were reviewed for negative case analysis (Merriam, 2002;Banning et al, 2007).…”

IntroductionMy agricultural education did not come from a land grant institution. My agricultural education came instead from the land, specifically the hay fields, fence lines, pastures, and animal pens in southwestern Colorado. As a Latina, Chicana feminist, former farmworker, land grant educated student, and educator who has been embedded in agricultural higher education for over nine years, my lens provides informative insight into the physical artifacts presented in departments of animal sciences at Predominantly White Institutions (Corbin Dwyer & Buckle, 2009;Innes, 2009). While it is easy to find people like me working in animal agriculture, are these same people welcome to study the production of food and fiber? Do they feel invited to become educated agriculturalists? This study seeks to understand the inclusive nature of the lived learning environment of departments of animal sciences at three major land grant universities.Many of us have experienced walking into an environment and immediately feeling a sense of belonging or welcome. In contrast, many of us have also experienced walking into an environment and immediately feeling that we were unwelcome and did not belong (Tienda, 2013;Chang, 2013). In our educational institutions, physical artifacts, the human created cultural objects and representations, communicate important messages about our educational climate and values (

“…The report suggests that the lack of part‐time and flexible work arrangements for women of parenting age has perpetuated the poor representation of women in the Australian mining industry. In a survey of the websites of 13 university mining engineering departments, Banning et al () determined that women were primarily listed as students, whereas men were far more likely to fill roles as instructors or lecturers. This observation supports Faulkner's () argument that the concept of engineering as preponderantly technical rather than social in orientation entrenches its association with ideals of masculinity (Lahiri‐Dutt, 2006).…”

This paper argues that feminisation is beginning to occur in the mining industry, a process associated with an expanded notion of mining as a livelihood in the radically changing political economy of extractive industries. It demonstrates that new gendered geographies are being created as grinding rural poverty pushes large numbers of women into informal mining (also known as artisanal and small-scale mining or ASM)-a fundamentally different type of economic activity from the capitalised, industrialised mining operated by large corporations. Further, it shows that a number of civil society initiatives, industry measures, policy processes and action-research with large-scale mining corporations are currently underway in response to an overall enhanced awareness of gender mainstreaming. It argues that these initiatives, ensued from women's struggles and feminist contributions, are helping to integrate gender more firmly in a wide range of extractive environments, and how these have enhanced the visibility of women and gender in mining. The paper ends by indicating the existing gaps in inquiry and possible directions for future research by feminist geographers into these gendered economic spaces.
