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

In this article, we strive to explore what are some of the causes of the scarcity of women researchers in Czech international relations in comparison to the representation of women students in the field. To answer this question, we analysed a set of semi-structured interviews with international relations students and accessible syllabi using the conceptual framework of Sandra Harding´ s gendered universe, which differentiates between the operations of gender on the individual, structural and symbolic level. W…

Muži do škol? Ano! Ale…: Potřeba mužů v primárním vzdělávání

In recent public discussions in Europe on the advantages of mixed-gender teams, many voices have been calling for more men in primary education. The urgent need to get more male teachers into primary education exists also in the Czech Republic. In a highly feminised environment, the prevailing view is that we need more male role models and male teachers who are already in kindergartens and elementary schools are presented as unique and exceptional. Behind this idea lies the belief that female teachers need to …

Scenes in and outside the library: Continuity and change in contesting feminist knowledge on the semi-periphery

Feminist sociological research is well institutionalised in the Czech Republic with two major departments at the Institute of Sociology of the Czech Academy of Sciences. However, it would be wrong to believe that the knowledge produced by them goes uncontested. In the article, we analyse the de-legitimizing strategies used to discredit and denounce such knowledge in two particular cases that entered the media in 2015 and 2017. In the first case, feminist sociologists criticized an exhibition of photographs of …

Muži učitelé v mateřských školách: konstrukce maskulinity ve feminizovaném prostředí

This article focuses on the topic of men working in feminised jobs and specifically on male teachers in kindergartens, who are in a specific position given that they are relatively few in number. There are several advantages for them in this position: they are accepted with enthusiasm and with expectations of change. This treatment gives them an opportunity to construct their own and relatively 'elite' version of masculinity, which is superior just to the femininity of the female teachers, but also to other ve…

Odlišnosti v komunikaci z genderové perspektivy: "Skutečná" dívka rovná se "slušná" dívka

This article is focused on gender expectations linked with girl's speech. Stereotypical ideas regarding gender-specific behavior are still prevalent in today's society and preconceptions which define "lady-like" character, as well as what constitutes the appropriate speech of a "po-lite girl", still exist. This article detects the expectations linked with girls' speech as perceived by young people in contemporary society and describes the ways in which girls live up to these expectations. Mixed methods were us…

Postavení žen v české vědě. Monitorovací zpráva za rok 2017

Každoroční statistický přehled situace a vývoje v oblasti postavení žen a mužů v české vědě včetně mezinárodního srovnání ukazuje, že situace se sama od sebe pozitivním směrem – tedy k vyrovnanějšímu zastoupení žen a mužů – nemění. Naopak, v řadě oblastí lze konstatovat mírně negativní tendence, tedy pokles zastoupení žen a zvyšování převahy mužů.Autorský tým vycházel z průběžných statistických výkazů Ministerstva školství, mládeže a tělovýchovy…

Neither magic bullet nor a mere tool: negotiating multiple logics of the checklist in healthcare quality improvement

Over two decades, the checklist has risen to prominence in healthcare improvement. This paper contributes to the debate between its proponents and critics, making the case for an STS-informed understanding of the checklist that demonstrates the limitations of both the ‘checklist-as-panacea’ and ‘checklist-as-socially-determined’ positions. Attending to the checklist as a socio-material object endowed with affordances that call upon clinicians to act (Hutchby 2001, Allen 2012), the study revisits the ef…

Od přírody podřadné. Jak se věda mýlila v ženách

Liší se ženský mozek od mužského? Jsou muži od přírody promiskuitnější? Je pro kluky přirozenější hrát si s autíčky a pro holky s panenkami? Měl Charles Darwin pravdu, když považoval ženy za méně vyvinuté a intelektuálně podřadné? Britská vědkyně, novinářka a popularizátorka vědy Angela Saini v knize Od přírody podřadné zkoumá fenomén výzkumů mezipohlavních rozdílů, který od dob Darwina patří mezi nejžhavější témata vědeckého zkoumání.

Exploring biomedicalization through complementary and alternative medicine in a postsocialist context

Drawing on fieldwork in the postsocialist Czech Republic, we explore the transformative processes of biomedicalization, both within and in relation to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). We argue that it would be simplistic to understand evidence of these processes in CAM as a sign that CAM has fallen prey to biomedicine. Instead, we show how particular CAM practices play a groundbreaking role in shaping developments in contemporary health care. In this respect, we question the utility of the concept…
