What shapes a rural woman innovator? A comparative perspective of the impact of territorial and spatial influences on women's entrepreneurial identities
Research on the factors influencing rural women's entrepreneurs remains theoretically underdeveloped. There is a limited understanding of the impact of different types of rural areas on women's entrepreneurial activities, or how age, education and access to resources shape the type of activities undertaken. The idea of ‘place’ identity for women's entrepreneurial activities is particularly underexplored in literature. This article contributes to …
The mirage of research and research expertise: Reflections on leading Horizon Europe bids
This article offers critical reflections on the process of leading Horizon Europe research bids, drawing from the authors’ experiences with two funded projects: GRASS CEILING and SafeHabitus. It highlights the challenges and opportunities presented by multi‐actor research, which brings together researchers, policymakers, stakeholders and end users. We discuss strategies for developing and managing these partnerships, including approaches to parti…
Power positions in the farm family, marrying in, and negative peer pressure: The Social Relations That Impact Agricultural Practice
In this article, we wish to consider relationships internal and external to the farm household, and how these enable and/or mitigate the adoption of better farm practices. We find that internally, members of the farm household (successors or spouses ‘marrying in’), can influence the future direction of agricultural practice in a positive way, that is more profitable and sustainable. It is not a straightforward process though. Interpersonal househ…
Power and culture: Understanding EU policies on agriculture and gender equality
In this article, we examine how the European Union (EU) acts as an international organisation, developing policies to be implemented by national governments. We focus on agriculture and gender equality. We examine the relationship between the EU and Member States regarding the construction and delivery of policies. It is a complex process, with differential levels of power and other actors in the process, notably lobby groups. We examine how agri…
Agriculture, Covid-19 and mental health: Does gender matter
Agriculture is one of the most precarious professions, being vulnerable to weather extremes and animal disease. As crises hit the agricultural sector, a growing awareness and concern for the mental wellbeing of farmers developed. Economic decline, climate change and culling animals all have a profound impact on affected farmers. To date, research has tended to focus on the farmer, typically a man, and not the farm family. This article considers t…

Is agriculture an occupation or a sector? Gender inequalities in a European context
This article focuses on inequalities in agriculture in the European Union. We examine the mismatch between European legislation on employment and any rigorous interrogation of women's employment position in agriculture. Our central argument is that this occurs because agriculture is seen as a sector rather than an occupation. DG AGRI is responsible for European agricultural and rural development policies. DG EMPLOYMENT does not have oversight for…
Gender and Caregiving
As sociologists, we are interested in social patterns. The fact that women have been and remain the predominant caregivers is a persistent social pattern of interest to scholars of feminism, marriage and the family, the welfare state, labor markets, power, culture, and ideology. When we think of caregiving, we think about caring for young children, older people, and those who are ill. This, in other words, is the “care economy,” where caregiving …
The Performance of Occupational Closure: The Case of Agriculture and Gender
It is generally accepted that gendered occupational closure is a thing of the past and the inequalities that women now experience in the labour market are due to segregation and segmentation of employment. In this article it is argued that agriculture still displays gendered occupational closure. Previous research has considered structural closure, focusing on patrilineal inheritance and exclusion from farming organizations. Here structural exclu…
Why do farm accidents persist? Normalising danger on the farm within the farm family
In the western world, farming is the most dangerous occupation with the highest rates of accidents and fatalities. Farming remains largely a family business and most accidents happen to family members. Why do safety campaigns have such limited success and why do farm families bring this terrible grief on themselves? This article argues that farm accidents are a persistent social pattern requiring analysis of how families are socialised to interac…
Methodological fallacies and perceptions of rural disparity: How rural proofing addresses real versus abstract needs
In 2016, the EU committed to ‘rural proofing’ its policies. Rural proofing has now become a priority across Europe. Prior to this, rural proofing or mainstreaming, the reviewing of universal policies to ensure comparable treatment of rural areas, was relatively unique to England and Northern Ireland. The first case of legislating rural proofing has occurred with The Rural Needs Act (Northern Ireland) 2016. Qualitative data was collected from civi…
Is racism the new sectarianism? Negativity towards immigrants and ethnic minorities in Northern Ireland from 2004 to 2015
Negativity towards ethnic minorities is a serious problem in Northern Ireland. Its history of the Troubles around religious identities makes Northern Ireland a special case in Europe. This paper examines negativity towards Muslims, Eastern Europeans and immigrants in Northern Ireland using data from the Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey and the British Social Attitudes Survey. The results from regressions show that anti-immigrant negativity …
Gender, Migration and Development: Can Advocacy Groups Be More of a Hindrance than a Help
The social world is complex and ever changing. However, to function, we need shared common knowledge for social relations and social interaction. We need categories of people, and assumptions about collective identities. While this is necessary to manage social interaction, it also leads to debates that question the essentialism of collective attributes and identities. In this article we argue that advocacy groups campaigning for the rights of wo…
To Rural Proof or Not to Rural Proof: A Comparative Analysis
Rural mainstreaming reviews policies to ensure people in all parts of a country receive comparable policy treatment. Rural proofing is the method used to ensure that rural mainstreaming is correctly carried out. This article offers a critical analysis of rural proofing. It examines English policies in this area and questions how applicable similar policies might be in an Australian context. We argue that while rural proofing intuitively feels lik…
Informal care-giving and mental ill-health - differential relationships by workload, gender, age and area-remoteness in a UK region
Informal care-giving can be a demanding role which has been shown to impact on physical, psychological and social well-being. Methodological weaknesses including small sample sizes and subjective measures of mental health have led to inconclusive evidence about the relationship between informal care-giving and mental ill-health. This paper reports on a study carried out in a UK region which investigated the relationship between informal care-givi…
Neoliberalism, the University, Public Goods and Agricultural Innovation
After World War II, most industrialising nations adopted some form of welfare-state approach to balance the economic activities of self-interested agents and social welfare. In the realm of scientific research and innovation, this often meant that governments took primary responsibility for funding public research organisations, including research universities and government laboratories. Over the past four decades, however, the significance of p…
Introduction: Rural women in Europe: the impact of place and culture on gender mainstreaming the European Rural Development Programme
Gender relations are socially constructed. Space and culture are key factors in this process. We consider how women's identity is constructed in rural areas of Europe. In particular, we examine the ability of gender mainstreaming to advance gender equality through the EU Rural Development Programme – the single most expensive European policy. We offer both overarching theoretical perspectives and specific case studies
Gender mainstreaming and the Common Agricultural Policy
While there are many case studies looking at gender mainstreaming in national contexts, this article offers a pan-European perspective to examine how a stated commitment to gender equality at this meta-level works in practice. The European Union's (EU) stated commitment to gender mainstreaming the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is critically reviewed. The article reviews theoretical literature on gender mainstreaming, considers the position of …

Sociology, Knowledge and Evidence in Rural Policy Making
Using Evidence in Policy: The Importance of Mediating Beliefs and Practices
This article argues that to understand the use of evidence in policy, we need to examine how meanings and practices in the civil service shape what is accepted as knowledge, and how differences between the beliefs and values of the academy and the polity can impede the flow and transfer of knowledge. It considers the importance of social context and shared meanings in legitimating knowledge. Who counts as legitimate knowledge providers has expand…
The Role of Subjectivity and Knowledge Power Struggles in the Formation of Public Policy
There is a growing incentive for sociologists to demonstrate the use-value of their research. Research 'impact' is a driver of research funding and a measure of academic standing. Academic debate on this issue has intensified since Burawoy's (2004) call for a 'public' sociology. However, the academy is no longer the sole or primary producer of knowledge and empirical sociologists need to contend with the 'huge swathes' of social data that now exi…

The language of EU rural development policy appears more interested in social inclusion and that of US policy more interested in market competitiveness. We seek to determine why policies directed at rural development in the EU and the USA differ. In both contexts new rural development policies emphasize partnership and participation but we find local participation is used to promote social inclusion in the EU and market competitiveness in the USA…
Civil society as a contested field of meanings
Purpose During recent years, the concept of civil society, particularly global civil society, has come to the fore in both academia and policy circles. A key component of recent theoretical and policy research is the attempt to do international comparative research on the meaning of civil society. The purpose of this paper is to argue that the language and the terminology used to describe the agents of civil society are reflective of cultural and…

Are rural development programmes socially inclusive? Social inclusion, civic engagement, participation, and social capital: Exploring the differences
Social or Economic Goals, Civic Inclusion or Exclusion? An Analysis of Rural Development Theory and Practice
Based on research conducted in Northern Ireland, this article examines two aspects of rural development practice. Firstly, it examines the emphasis given to social and civic development alongside economic development. Secondly, the idea that partnerships represent increased democracy and civic participation is explored. The theoretical framework is informed by the social capital debate, with particular reference to the work of Robert Putnam. It i…
Gendered agricultural and rural restructuring: A case study of Northern Ireland
This article focuses on two specific gender related changes that are linked to agricultural and rural restructuring, at least partly motivated by the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The first relates to the increase in part-time farming and women's increasing off-farm work, linked to falling farm incomes and reduced subsidies. The second relates to women's participation in rural development policy and practice. Both part-time farm…
Power Analysis and Farm Wives: An Empirical Study of the Power Relationships Affecting Women on Irish Farms
Farmers' wives: Women Who Are Off-Farm Breadwinners and the Implications for on-Farm Gender Relations
This article examines the fundamental changes that are occurring on farms in Northern Ireland. The income of the agricultural industry shows a dramatic fall every year, and the majority of farms are not viable without some other source of income. This article will demonstrate that it is women's off-farm work that now maintains the farm. The shift to occupying the breadwinner role, and supporting what has been such a traditional industry, allows u…

Women in the Field: Women, Farming and Organizations
One striking feature of farming as an occupation is that there are few women who farm in their own right. The passing of land from father to son means that women rarely own land. Their typical entry to farming is through marriage. Women's route of entry to farming affects interpersonal relationships within the family, and also women's role in the public space of farming. Women are under‐represented in farming organizations, in training programmes…

Stakeholders and Perspectivism in Qualitative Policy Evaluation: A Realist Reflection
This paper examines the epistemological bases for the inclusion of stakeholders in policy research. While it concedes that the input of stakeholders provides essential expert and experiential knowledge for the understanding of complex policies and programmes, it contends that the approach which assumes that all interpretations of policy including those of stakeholders should be afforded equal validity, which we term relativist perspectivism, unde…
Farm Women's Groups: Feminist or Farming or Community Groups, or New Social Movements
The feminist movement is one of social change. The Canadian Farm Women's Network (CFWN) is in many respects a feminist movement and a movement of social change. It has a stated dual mandate of promoting rural community life and sustaining the farm family, while also increasing the recognition of female farm labour, and increasing representation of women on farming boards and in official farming statistics. The CFWN is active at the community and …
