A Case of Sticky Gender? Persistence and Change in the Division of Household Labor during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Contemporary research finds that gender continues to provide an organizing framework for couples' allocation of household labor. To explain this outcome, scholars focus on how structural arrangements and cultural beliefs contribute to the persistence of gender inequality in domestic labor. Yet scholarship has yet to fully clarify what combination of cultural and structural factors create persistent gender inequality in household labor. We use the…
Not Just They/Them
Gender-neutral pronouns, such as they/them, have been studied as a site of identity affirmation and, at other times, contestation for non-binary individuals. In this study, we draw from interviews with 123 non-binary individuals to better understand the role of pronouns in these individuals' lives. We find that pronoun practices are ontoformative-they actively (re)construct the meanings attached to gender and gender identities. Yet, not all non-b…
Moving Forward

Empirical studies show that though there is more room for improvement, much progress has been made toward gender equality since the second wave of feminism. Evidence also suggests that women's advancements have been more dramatic in the public sphere of work and politics than in the private sphere of family life. We argue that this lopsided gender progress may be traced to uneven changes in gender attitudes. Using data from more than 27,000 respo…

The seminars provided an elite sample of activists, including those who were long-term participants in the zhensovety those newly mobilized in Western-influenced, explicitly feminist groups, and the majority, who were engaged in women's NGOs with a variety of speci…
