“…Secondly, in order to augment knowledge on how social innovations can trigger action towards gender equality, we adapted the theory of Fraser [18] on gender justice. The theory connects gender justice to the redistribution of (1) economic resources (corresponding to redistribution struggles and classes), (2) cultural resources (corresponding to recognition and status), and (3) political resources (corresponding to framing struggles and representation) (see also Sabsay [19]). Regarding their impacts, the three types of resource redistribution in Fraser's theory come close to the three levels of social innovation impacts identified in previous social innovation literature [15,16].…”

Reconstructive Social Innovation Cycles in Women-Led Initiatives in Rural Areas

Social innovations can tackle various challenges related to gender equity in rural areas, especially when such innovations are initiated and developed by women themselves. We examine cases located in rural areas of Canada, Italy, Lebanon, Morocco, and Serbia, where women are marginalized by gender roles, patriarchal values, male dominated economy and policy, and lack of opportunities for education and employment. Our objective is to analyze five case studies on how women-led social innovation processes can tackle gender equity related challenges manifested at the levels of everyday practice, institutions, and cognitive frames. The analyses are based on interviews, workshops, literature screening, and are examined via the qualitative abductive method. Results summarize challenges that rural women are facing, explore social innovation initiatives as promising solutions, and analyze their implications on gender equity in the five case studies. Based on our results we propose a new concept: reconstructive social innovation cycle. It refers to is defined as cyclical innovation processes that engage women via civil society initiatives. These initiatives reconstruct the existing state of affairs, by questioning marginalizing and discriminative practices, institutions, and cognitive frames that are often perceived as normal. The new concept helps with to assessing the implications that women-led social innovations have for gender equity.

“…With this in mind, it is maybe unsurprising that the research texts identified emanated overwhelmingly from the UK, the USA and Australia. This over‐representation of researchers based in Anglo‐Saxon countries is also likely to reflect broader patterns in terms of global redistributive justice (Fraser, 2013), including the deeply unequal allocation of research funding, and of the linkage between the global North scholar and academic excellence (Connell, 2007).…”

“…This may also explain the modest body of work exploring care work linked to the elderly, nearer to the end of their life, compared with younger children, ultimately encouraging us to challenge the normative, anthropocentric, neoliberal frameworks which render some lives more lose‐able than others (Redmalm, 2015). These hierarchies have implications which apply more broadly to care giving and to care receiving—not only do they cement the view that some beings are more deserving of being cared for than others but they risk constructing the lives of caregivers themselves as little deserving in a societal context which values productive work over reproductive work and constructs the paid worker as the ideal citizen (Fraser, 2013).…”

“…Capturing the diversity of care work among the academic population and more broadly also requires challenging binaries and hierarchies which construct some lives as less ‘lose‐able’ and thus less worthy of care work (Butler, 2009). These binaries are deeply entrenched in Western cultures, with humans given more value than animal and the environment, and some humans given more value than others (i.e., in the case of neoliberal Western cultures, the contribution, current or future, to the economy has become the currency against which lives are dis/valued) (Fraser, 2013). We also need to ensure that the important theoretical and empirical developments that have emerged in the field lead to the transformation of mainstream literature of HE—a transformation that needs to go beyond a simple ‘add and stir’ approach, with a radical rethinking of the paid/unpaid, productive/reproductive, masculine/feminine binaries at play in academia and elsewhere.…”

Through a glass, darkly: Gazing into the field of carers in academia

Carers in academia is a young but growing field, which has quickly expanded since the 2000s and has gained new momentum during the Covid‐19 pandemic and the accompanying disruptions of personal and professional lives. It is also one which, through its associations with reproductive and women's work, remains relatively marginalised. This article examines the English language research literature on carers in academia. Drawing upon feminist poststructuralist theories, we contend that, because the literature is not ‘out of the discourses’ of care and academic work and, instead, contributes to construct the objects it speaks of, the state of the field is a matter of cognitive and social justice. Following the presentation of the methodological and theoretical frameworks and a discussion of the authorial voices framing the field, we consider the relative in/visibilities of various groups of care/rs. Drawing on a review which identified 158 relevant texts, we find research in the field broadly ignores male, disabled, BME and LGBTQ+ carers, as well as ancillary workers and professional groups other than academics, and forms of care work other than parenting healthy, abled children. We then move to discussing the liminalities of care, noting the absence of studies of care work in academia related to non‐humans and to end of life. We conclude by pointing out the need for further reflexivity in terms of how processes of knowledge production include and exclude in ways that are complex and fluid.

Ambivalente afsløringer – jobkonsulenters erfaringer med diagnosers betydning for psykiatribrugeres deltagelse på arbejdsmarkedet

Forskelssætninger er betydningsfulde og legitime i allokeringen til arbejdsmarkedet i et differentieret samfund. De bidrager både til udnyttelse af samfundets arbejdskraft og til kvaliteten af den enkeltes arbejdsliv. Forskelssætninger indgår samtidig i konfl ikter om ressourcetildeling og privilegier, og de kan danne grundlag for diskrimination. Denne artikel fokuserer på den modsætningsfyldte funktion af diagnoser i en specialiseret beskæftigelsesindsats for psykiatribrugere. Afsættet er jobkonsulenternes arbejde med at støtte psykiatribrugere på arbejdsmarkedet med metoden individuelt planlagt job med støtte. Målet med artiklen er, for det første, at vise empirisk, hvordan differentieringen af psykiatribrugere ud fra deres diagnose indgår i forhandlinger mellem professionelle, brugere og arbejdsgivere, hvilket er anledning til ambivalenser blandt jobkonsulenterne. For det andet at fremskrive en teoretisk begrundet analyse af psykiatribrugeres deltagelse på arbejdsmarkedet, som kan forklare jobkonsulenternes ambivalenser om at afsløre diagnoserne. Med afsæt i Nancy Frasers begreb om en bivalente kollektivitet viser jeg, hvordan afsløringen af diagnoserne har betydning for jobkonsulenternes deltagelse, status og relationer til brugere og arbejdsgivere – og dermed for deres muligheder for at understøtte psykiatribrugeres arbejdsmarkedsintegration. Afslutningsvis fremhæves nødvendigheden af at medrefl ektere både kulturelle og økonomisk forankrede marginaliseringsdynamikker i forståelsen af psykiatribrugeres situation.
