Gendered Justice in Comparative Perspective
Flexible Environments for Hybrid Collaboration
The COVID-19 pandemic made visceral for many the fact that virtual forms of collaboration— simultaneously liberating and frustrating—are here to stay. Workers’ frustrations demonstrate that challenges remain for work and its design in increasingly “hybrid” collaboration— work in which some people, interacting face-to-face, are co-located while others with whom they work are remote. Using Buchanan's four orders of design, in conjunction with manag…
Child feeding practices in children with Down syndrome in relationship to ethnicity and BMI
Upliftment', friends and finance
The rapid and massive adoption of mobile money transfer (MMT) services in East Africa, particularly in Kenya, stands in stark contrast to historically low use of formal financial systems on the continent. Its 'fertile grounds' therefore require in-depth analysis to understand the implications for African financial systems. This paper argues for the need to examine the underlying conceptual environment that enables low income and poor people's MMT…
‘ We Don’t Have This Is Mine and This Is His’
In the context of calls for more nuanced understanding of marriage as a dynamic institution, this paper addresses a gap in the literature on intra-household financial management. It examines financial management systems and levels of cooperation among 51 married couples in Kenya. It first presents a typology of intra-household financial management arrangements and then examines how this relates to the nature of cooperation between couples. It rev…
Microfinance and Gender
This special collection examines the claim that microfinance promotes gender equality. The focus is on three areas of the debate: first, the question of how successful microfinance has been in empowering women; second, whether and how negative gender discrimination operates within the sector; third, how power relations within and beyond the household shape the context and outcomes of microfinance initiatives. The papers in this collection demonst…
Indiana women of achievement
This article shares examples of how leadership opportunities, self-directedness, self-efficacy and self-determination developed in professional women who have been recognised as leaders. This study presents six women honoured as ‘Women of Achievement’. Through narrative interviews, each woman described aspects of her life that guided decision-making and her approach to various life situations. Using the narrative examples provided, one may be abl…
Towards a plural history of microfinance
This article reviews different ways of telling the history of microfinance. We first contrast a mainstream and mostly positive narrative with a radical critique, illustrating differences with reference to India. We then argue for a more inductive and plural account, drawing on a set of doctoral research studies to illustrate variation in microfinance experience according to social relations among users, organisational culture of suppliers and the…
Competing visions of financial inclusion in Kenya
Financial inclusion policy has been ignited globally by the rise of money transfer services over mobile phones led by the example of Kenya. This article examines the financial practices of low-income people and the social relational dimensions of debt that underlie these transactions, and contrasts these with widely used services of informal groups and banks’ services. This highlights a “fiduciary culture” where relationships of equality and “neg…
Relations Between Fathers' and Mothers' Infant Engagement Patterns in Dual-Earner Families and Toddler Competence
This study examined the trajectories of time new fathers and mothers in dual-earner families ( N = 178) reported spending in developmentally appropriate positive engagement activities over the first 9 months of their child's life on both work and nonworkdays. We also explored how paternal and maternal engagement patterns in infancy were associated with children's later social-emotional competence during toddlerhood ( M = 25 months). Using latent …
An Oxytocin Receptor Gene Variant Predicts Attachment Anxiety in Females and Autism-Spectrum Traits in Males
A molecular genetic approach was used to investigate the relationship between common variants of the oxytocin receptor ( OXTR) gene and self-reported social functioning in healthy adults. Females with at least one copy of the A allele at OXTR rs2254298 reported greater attachment anxiety than females with two copies of the G allele. Males with at least one copy of the A allele at OXTR rs2254298 reported more autism-associated traits than males wi…
Reconceptualising gardening to promote inclusive education for sustainable development
The ways in which gardening has been interpreted by schools in western societies have changed over the past 150 years. The intended purpose of school gardening with children (aged 5–14) and the pedagogies which teachers have adopted has varied depending on social, cultural and political expectations. This paper argues that a reconceptualised version of school gardening could promote inclusive education in the UK so that it supports new pedagogica…
Financial Access and Exclusion in Kenya and Uganda
Policy emphasis has recently shifted to ‘Finance for All’ given evidence that financial sector development contributes to growth but effects on poverty do not arise from pro-poor provision. We argue that, given this policy goal, analyses of barriers to access must be country specific and go beyond the emphasis on transactions costs to incorporate the effects of social institutions since these contribute to discrimination. This paper uses data fro…
First Contract Arbitration
Newly certified unions often experience difficulty negotiating a first agreement. To remedy this, the Employee Free Choice Act proposes that the National Labor Relations Act provide for first contract arbitration (FCA). Using a panel of Canadian jurisdictions that have introduced FCA legislation at different times over several decades, the author addresses three questions: (1) How does this legislation affect the incidence of first agreement work…
The Impact of Anti-Temporary Replacement Legislation on Work Stoppages
Legislation that prevents the hiring of temporary replacement workers during a work stoppage is controversial. “Anti-temporary replacement worker” legislation (ATR) or “anti-scab” legislation is currently in effect in Quebec and British Columbia and existed for a short period of time in Ontario. This paper uses variation over time (1978–2003) and across provinces to provide empirical evidence concerning the impact of ATR on work stoppages. The re…

Gender Norms in Financial Markets
The Practice of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy
"This second edition of the standard therapeutic manual for emotionally focused couple and family therapy represents a substantial revision and expansion of the enormously influential first edition. Sue Johnson brings up to date the EFT clinical road map that she provided in the highly regarded 1996 edition, incorporating the latest clinical research results, new case studies, a discussion of the growth of couple therapy as a field, and coverage …
Milking The Elephant
Financial liberalization policies in the 1990s were intended to raise formal sector interest rates, enhance competition and expand access for users. This article investigates patterns of provision and use in a local financial market in Karatina, Kenya, at the end of the 1990s after a period of financial and economic liberalization. It takes a holistic approach, examining both formal and informal financial arrangements and microfinance interventio…
The First ‘Designer Baby’
The public do not like, and we do not like the idea of designer babies (Ruth Deech, then Chair of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, quoted in The Independent, 18 October 2000). We are all on the slippery slope-the question we should be asking is: skis or crampons (Professor John Harris, The Centre for Social Ethics and Policy, University of Manchester, in an interview with Susan Johnson). LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL GROUNDING OF THE D…
Canadian Union Density 1980 to 1998 and Prospects for the Future
An examination of the factors that determine Canadian union density reveals long-run decline in union membership growth. A stock-flow accounting analysis decomposes union membership growth into net growth due to "recognition" and net growth due to "economic and other" factors. These components are compared and then each is more closely examined. Net growth due to recognition is dissected to reveal the importance of organizing activity and certifi…

Social Identity and the Romance of Leadership
Previous research by Meindl (e.g. 1993) on the ‘romance of leadership’ suggests that individuals in leadership roles are perceived to be more charismatic to the extent that the organization they lead undergoes a crisis turnaround (e.g. moving from loss to profit) rather than a crisis decline (e.g. moving from profit to loss). Building on a social identity approach to leadership and previous research by Haslam and Platow (in press-a), this paper a…
The language of psychology
The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (4th ed., APA, 1994) is a guide for many aspects of professional writing for psychologists. In this article, the authors propose that APA style involves more than a set of explicit guidelines for presenting information; it also incorporates a variety of unarticulated practices that reflect fundamental attitudes and values of psychologists. The authors examine some of the less obviou…

Card Check or Mandatory Representation Vote? How the Type of Union Recognition Procedure Affects Union Certification Success
Cross-section time-series analysis of nine Canadian jurisdictions over nineteen years is used to identify the effect of mandatory votes/card check on certification success. The results indicate that mandatory votes reduce certification success rates by approximately 9 percentage points below what they would have been under card check. This result is robust across specifications and significant at above the 99% confidence level. This paper provide…

Gender impact assessment in microfinance and microenterprise
This article discusses the reasons for conducting gender impact assessment in microfinance and microenterprise. Although women are increasingly being targeted in microfinance and microenterprise projects, this does not necessarily mean that gender relations are being taken into account. Rather, targeting women raises a host of questions about the context in which women are operating their businesses or handling finance. Assessing gender impact in…
Programme Impact Assessment in Micro-Finance
Impact assessment in micro?finance has focused on the impact of services on users and the ability of the organisation delivering those services to sustain its operations into the future. However, a focus on building organisations capable of long?term provision assumes that they will have a positive impact on the efficiency of the financial market. This is an assumption which impact assessment should also test but which has so far been neglected. …
More Evidence on the Effect of Higher Unemployment on the Canadian Size Distribution of Income
This paper provides evidence that cyclical unemployment is associated with increased income inequality in Canada. The empirical results reinforce the recent findings of Erksoy (1981-1987). Erksoy used a dynamic micro-simulation to model the period from 1981 to 1987. In contrast to his work, my paper takes a macroeconomic perspective and uses an income share model. I examine the period from 1981 to 1992 using data from the "Survey of Consumer Fina…

The relationship between sex-role identity and beliefs in personal control
Stress during Acquisition and T-Maze Choice Behavior in Extinction
4 groups of 5 rats each were trained to turn left or right in a T-maze for food reinforcement, then reversed. 2 groups acquired the right turn with shock in the alley stem. During extinction (no food, no shock) shocked Ss either maintained or regressed to right turns. Frustration theory and elicitation theory interpretations were discussed

The role of internal standards in assessment of written discourse
Writers evaluate works in progress to make critical editorial decisions about content and style. It is proposed that this evaluative process is guided by a writer's internal standards, which define when writing is correct, appropriate, and complete. An analysis of the internal standards concept leads to the prediction that the match between the standards of the writer and the standards of readers should be an important predictor of how the reader…
