Travestie show v kontextu sociální změny
Číslo bulletinu Gender, rovné příležitosti, výzkum, které se vám dostává do rukou, není tentokrát monotematicky zacíleno.

Tím prvním je sféra soukromého života – rodiny, partnerských vztahů a sexuality. Jedná se zejména o článek Kláry Kubíčkové o mateřských, pečujících otcích v České republice, o článek Mar…

Reasons for post-1989 childcare in Czech society (and other postcommunist countries contradicting declination of male breadwinner) are rooted in past. Current development in Czech society strengthens misrecognition of care and class and gender bias in citizenship.…
