The gendered effect of gender-neutral anti-doping policy: Women athletes and their lived experience
The World Anti-Doping Code, which shapes the lived experiences of athletes, is considered ‘gender-neutral’ and is deemed to be applied equally to men and women. Applying Feminist Institutionalist theory to data from 30 interviews with women athletes, support personnel, and anti-doping experts and executives, we find that the Code produces gendered effects on women athletes. Further, we argue that ‘gender-neutral’ rules applied equally to men and …

Lebanese Women at the Crossroads: Caught between Sect and Nation
Thirty years after the end of the civil war, Lebanese women are still struggling for gender equality. This study builds on recent scholarship on women’s activism in the Arab world, in the context of the Arab Spring. It examines how discourses of secularism and equal civil rights have informed the contemporary Lebanese women’s movement in their campaigns for a domestic violence law, women’s nationality rights, a women’s quota in parliament, the re…
A Question of Personal Status
Amid an enduring political deadlock in Parliament, the first civil marriage contracted in Lebanon in 2013 received significant media coverage in a country where the personal status law of eighteen recognized religious sects governs marriage. This case study examines the debate on civil marriage reform and the implications for women’s rights in Lebanon. For advocates, the recognition of civil marriage legalizes interreligious marriages, strengthen…
The higher education paradox: Towards improving women’s empowerment, agency development and labour force participation in Bangladesh
While expanding higher education is an important component of women’s agency development, subsequent employment in the labour market remains an impediment to realising gender equality in many developing countries. In Bangladesh, while the rate of women’s higher education completion has steadily increased, employment has not kept pace, resulting in a paradox of declining female labour force participation rates amongst graduates. Therefore, this pa…

No Arranged Marriages Here: Migration and the Shift from Relations of Descent to Consent in the Lebanese Diaspora
Although frequently debated in the media, few ethnographic studies have examined the dynamics between arranged and love marriages in immigrant communities in Australia. Drawing on Sollors' theory of Consent over Descent and Bourdieu's theory of Masculine Domination, this paper examines the cultural transformation brought about by second-generation daughters in Maronite, Lebanese immigrant families from Hadchit who increasingly choose their own sp…
