The Gendered World of Work and Play

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In a world shaped by gender norms and expectations, this book delves into the intricate relationship between gender, work, play, and various aspects of our lives. Drawing upon a range of disciplines, we provide a comprehensive analysis of how gender influences our experiences, opportunities, and life outcomes.

Through historical and contemporary lenses, we explore the gendered nature of work, examining the division of labor, gender segregation in occupations, the gender pay gap, and the challenges of work-life balance. We shed light on the impact of gender stereotypes and expectations on play, highlighting the importance of play for children's development and the role of play in challenging gender norms.

Sports, with its complex gendered history and the marginalization of women, is another area we delve into. We examine the fight for gender equality in sports, the role of sports in perpetuating gender stereotypes, and the power of sports to challenge these norms.

Technology and media are not exempt from gender biases. We analyze the gender gap in STEM fields, the impact of gender stereotypes on women's participation in STEM, and the importance of gender diversity in these fields. We also explore the portrayal of gender in the media, the impact of media on gender stereotypes, and the role of media in shaping gender norms.

Education and health are also examined through the lens of gender. We investigate the gender gap in education, the impact of gender stereotypes on educational attainment, and the importance of gender equality in education. We also explore the gender gap in health, the impact of gender on health outcomes, and the need for gender-responsive healthcare.

Throughout the book, we emphasize the importance of intersectionality, recognizing that gender is not experienced in isolation but rather intersects with other social identities such as race, class, ethnicity, and ability. We explore how these intersections create unique experiences of privilege and oppression, and we emphasize the need for a holistic approach to understanding and addressing gender inequality.

Once you've been admitted to college, the next step is to develop a strategy of how to find your best life there. But for decades, Professor James T. Hamilton has seen students struggle with their college journey. Some avoid challenging experiences, follow a path of familiar expectations, and rely on shortcuts.

Hamilton designs lessons to help you find purpose, manage time, maintain friendships and family relationships, stay physically and mentally healthy, and choose classes, majors, and careers.

LMHC Alex Mammadyarov, Marisa...

If you've experienced profound loss, you may feel numb, disoriented, or despondent. The last thing you want to hear is that "time heals all wounds." It sounds like an empty promise—one that negates the importance of what has passed. The truth is that you may never fully heal—and that is okay. You can still go on to live a rich, meaningful, and vibrant life. This gentle guide will help you transform the overwhelming sadness of grief into validation, hope, and personal growth. 
 
In this book, psychotherapist and death doula Alex Mammadyarov presents a step-by-step, comprehensive, and transformative process to help you cultivate present moment awareness, resilience, and self-compassion after the life-altering shock of a significant loss. You'll learn to ride the ebbs and flows of grief that rear up in the midst of painful anniversaries and events—so you can navigate your new reality, relieve suffering, and grow. You'll also find comfort and clarity as you face the challenges of our insensitive, "get over it" culture that prevents you from being fully seen during this difficult time. 
 
It's time for a new way of looking at grief—one that is honest and vulnerable, and honors what's been lost. With this profound guide, you'll learn to grow around your grief—instead of moving past it—to create more meaning, purpose, and connection.
