“Just take it off, where’s the problem?” How online commenters draw on neoliberal rationality to justify labour market discrimination against women wearing headscarves
In this article we demonstrate how online commenters apply neoliberal rationality to defend the labour market exclusion of Muslim women wearing headscarves. Applying a thematic analysis, we identify the arguments of a debate in an online forum that discussed job market difficulties of Muslim women wearing headscarves. These arguments did not acknowledge the existence of discrimination but blamed the women for not adapting to the labour market. Th…
A lesson from 'Cologne' on intersectionality
Analysing feminist responses to the (mainstream) media coverage of the sexual assaults of New Year's Eve 2015 in Cologne, this article shows how a theoretical concept that is used to frame feminist arguments can influence the strength of those arguments. German-speaking media extensively reported on the large number of sexual assaults against women that happened during that night in Cologne. The dominant narrative in those media reports dwells on…
The Effect of Photos and a Local-Sounding Name on Discrimination against Ethnic Minorities in Austria. A Field Experiment
A large body of research documents the existence of discrimination against migrants and ethnic minorities in the labour market. This study experimentally investigates for Austria, to what degree employment discrimination against ethnic minorities is mitigated, when they abstain from following the Austrian norm of including a photograph to their job application that would make their ethnicity salient or when they hold a local-sounding name. We app…

Often, second wave feminists do not agree with this interpretation of the famous feminist catchphrase, which initially meant to call for collective political responses to personal experiences of gender inequalities. This article investiga…

Invisible feminists? Social media and young women’s political participation
Considering insights from ‘third-wave’ literature, this paper examines the impact of young women’s online activism on the visibility of feminist engagement in New Zealand. Drawing on 40 interviews with women of all ages who are concerned with women’s political issues in New Zealand, I identify a generational divide in the ways these women participated in feminist activities and I argue that online activism is a key form of participation for many …
