A multilevel conceptual framework for navigating gendered career trajectories in the architectural profession
Gender inequalities in careers often unfold gradually. Whilst individual events are important, longitudinal studies of careers offer insight into how gendered advantage and disadvantage can accumulate and compound over time. This article describes a novel multilevel conceptual framework for understanding gender in architectural career trajectories. It integrates three conceptual theories: gendered life course perspective, feminist institutionalis…
“Building the Plane as We Fly It”
This article examines how gendered institutional arrangements in Australian sport shape the reporting of gender‐based violence (GBV) against adult women and gender‐diverse people. Using feminist institutionalism, we analyze the formal and informal rules that structure sport integrity systems and the gendered power relations they reproduce. Drawing on semi‐structured interviews with 18 policy administrators and integrity staff, we show how GBV is …
Policy responses to reports of gender-based violence against women by Australian sporting organisations and best-practice principles
Gender-based violence (GBV) against women remains a persistent issue in Australian sport. The safety of sport participants, known as safeguarding and member protection within sport integrity policy in Australia, is increasingly recognised as a priority for government, violence prevention and response services and sports organisations. Best practice in responding to reports of GBV against women in sport is poorly understood with no overarching pri…
From burnout to growth
In contrast to previous studies focused on the negative impact of teacher stress and burnout, recently there has been a shift towards processes which help to support teachers’ wellbeing and mental health. The objective of the present study is to examine the status of the job satisfaction, wellbeing, and mental health of schoolteachers in Maltese schools and examine the interrelations between these key variables. A total of 351 primary and seconda…
The gendered effect of gender-neutral anti-doping policy
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 …
Psychological Issues Among Spanish Adolescents and Young People when Coming out of the Closet to Their Families
Some social settings may make the process of "coming out" more difficult for gay males and lesbian females, and the decision to do so may be even more problematic for adolescents and young people. As a result, some may choose to hide their sexual orientation, leading to emotional suffering. This study aims to analyze the differences in perceived stress, life satisfaction, happiness, and psychological distress experienced by both coming out and cl…
When Following the Rules Is Bad for Wellbeing
The construction industry is known to be highly masculinised and to have work practices detrimental to employees' wellbeing. Drawing on feminist institutional theory and a rapid ethnographic approach in two construction multinationals in Australia, we examine the relationship between the gendered nature of construction and workplace wellbeing for professional women and men employed in the industry. The findings reveal that adhering to the gendere…
Male‐dominated workplaces and the power of masculine privilege
Increasing women's representation in male‐dominated work sectors remains a persistent problem. This paper reorientates the focus from women's underrepresentation to male overrepresentation and privilege, to identify and compare the causal mechanisms between the overrepresentation of men in two traditionally male‐dominated work places in Australia: politics and construction. By applying feminist institutionalism, masculinities, and privilege, it a…
The gendered dimensions of informal institutions in the Australian construction industry
The construction industry is the most male‐dominated in Australia, despite companies implementing formal policies and initiatives to address this. While previous research has examined the role of workplace culture as a barrier to women in the industry, our research investigates the role informal institutions play in obstructing gender equity in construction. We examine the gendered dimension of informal institutions (practices, narratives and nor…
(De)constructing the Masculine Blueprint
Men are overrepresented in most legislatures of the world. However, in parliaments in which women reach a “critical mass” or even approach parity with men in terms of numbers, they still must contend with and adapt to the symbolic representation of men. Using the cases of the Australian and Polish parliaments, we point to the need to deconstruct the parliamentary standard by shifting the theoretical and empirical focus from women's disadvantage i…
