Women’s Place in the National Park Service
In most workplaces, women earn less than their male counterparts. The gender pay gap has multiple, complex, interrelated causes. Federal organizations follow several best practices to work to reduce pay inequity based on gender, but some of these practices risk institutionalizing tendencies toward gendered organizational structures and confounding maleness with the constructions of idealized workers. The National Park Service (NPS) is the context…
Business as usual is not working for women in business schools
Despite growth in the number of women pursuing business and entrepreneurship careers, dominance of masculine traits associated with these occupations persists. If business schools use language that subconsciously reinforces gendered stereotypes, students might perpetuate sexist expectations. Using a natural language text processing tool to analyze the written responses of 247 undergraduate students in a US‐based university, we found that student …
Women and the weight of a pandemic
In the initial months of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States, people struggled to adjust to the new normal. The burden of managing changes to home and work life seemed to fall disproportionately to women due to the nature of women's employment and gendered societal pressures. We surveyed residents of four western states in the first months of the outbreak to compare the experiences of women and men during this time. We found that women wer…
Agriculture in Shifting Climates
The international community has advocated the adoption of climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) as lower‐income countries deal with the negative consequences of climate change. Scaling up such policies, practices, and programs successfully will require support from a variety of local stakeholders. Such support requires alignment between CSA solutions and the problem understandings of stakeholders. However, problem understandings can differ across indiv…
Analysis and action
Addressing complex social problems requires the implementation of public policies in support of positive social change efforts. Both political will and public will are crucial elements of such efforts. This article details an approach for analysis and action consistent with other action research approaches that facilitators can use in analyzing and subsequently helping to build political will and public will to address social problems. This artic…
Strategically Mean
In this chapter we draw connections between current research on relational aggression in psychology, education, new media studies, and communication to make a case for extending the study of relational aggression by communication scholars. We also challenge the prevailing conceptualization of relational aggression as a pathological trait specific to young girls, arguing that it should be studied as a situation-specific communication strategy, emp…
Defining Public Will
Scientific elaboration of “public will” would enhance the concept's analytical usefulness and contribute to improved understanding in various fields, including political science and public policy. Previous work has utilized the term but has jumped the crucial stage of formally defining public will as a conceptual variable. This project constructs a definitional system that breaks the concept into components and offers operationalizations and asse…
Defining Political Will
Although frequently invoked as a rhetorical tool in political discussions, “political will” remains ambiguous as a concept. Acknowledging the centrality of political will to policy outcomes, the authors propose a pragmatic and systematic approach to definition. This approach facilitates analysis by identifying particular shortcomings in political will. This identification in turn permits the application of appropriate theoretical frameworks from …
The Future of Religion in American Politics
In this volume, editor Charles W. Dunn brings together twelve essays, in addition to his introductory one, on the subject of politics and religion in the United States. This book adds to what is now a burgeoning literature on religion and politics, though the interest of political scientists in this topic has been a relatively recent development, beginning in the 1980s. These essays are unique in their breadth and diversity. Methodologically, the…
