Research Paper

Education as an arena for anti-feminism: devaluation of femininity in primary education

This paper is about how broader trends of anti-feminist politics and anti-feminist backlash are gradually being introduced into education as well. This article presents two case studies, Germany and Czechia. In conclusion, three re-masculinization strategies used to devalue femininity in education are presented. All strategies share an antifeminist core because they all devalue women and femininity and reinforce the current gender order.

Post/socialist chemical research: a gendered politics of visual representation

This paper explores changes to the strongly gendered politics of representation in applied chemical research using visual material from company magazines of Czech-based chemical plants (1969–2000). The focus on visual representations gives us a novel perspective on the intersection of technology, gender and geopolitics. A detailed visual discourse analysis reveals that this visual representation is less about applied chemical research and more about femininity defined around a singular understanding of motherhood.

Research paper

International Relations in the Czech Republic: Where Have All the Women Gone?

In this paper we explore what are some of the causes of the scarcity of women researchers in Czech international relations. We analysed a set of semi-structured interviews with international relations students and accessible syllabi. We identified some gendered barriers that might be blocking women researchers' access to the field, that are further exacerbated by the local circumstances of the foundation of the discipline, which shaped it as a predominantly masculine field with a specific gender-blind version of doing research and academic careers.

Research paper

MEN TO SCHOOLS? YES! BUT… : The need for male teachers in primary education (in Czech)

The aim of the paper is to identify the problematic assumptions underpinning the discourse on the shortage of male teachers. This paper is based on qualitative ethnographic research conducted in kindergartens and elementary schools in the Czech Republic. The urgent need to get more male teachers into primary education is connected to the stereotypical belief that female teachers need to be 'complemented' by male teachers, because female collectives can be harmful without the presence of men.
