Pivoting and positionality: entrepreneurship, care, and the Covid-19 pandemic in Czechia and the U.S.A.

Our research reveals how family and business pivot opportunities and decisions are intertwined and shaped by respondent social positionality in two country contexts—the USA and Czechia. Our findings underline the need for intersectional, contextual, and comparative analyses as they relate to positionality and entrepreneurship generally as well as to specific women SEBOs’ Covid-19 survival strategies. We offer policy insights for supporting women as diverse SEBOs, with a specific focus on crises influencing…

“This doctor knows shit about you, but the first thing he says is, ‘you need to lose some weight’”: Anti-fat bias and the contradictory effects of fat medicalization in Czech healthcare

The anti-fat bias that is built on the premised principle antagonism between a fat and a healthy body remains entrenched in healthcare. Despite evidence that being fat is conditioned by many factors beyond a person’s control, fatness is often seen as a result of irresponsible behavior and moral failure and fat patients report being exposed to mistreatment, discrimination, and shaming in healthcare. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and written testimonies, we examine the experiences of people with fat em…

Malé modulární reaktory pohledem veřejného mínení

Téma jaderné energetiky se v příštích letech přesune do centra veřejné diskuse. Tento vývoj loni předznamenalo dění kolem připravované výstavby nového bloku Jaderné elektrárny Dukovany a kolem zúžení počtu zvažovaných lokalit k umístění hlubinného úložiště v ČR na čtyři. Politické postoje k jádru střední Evropu rozdělují: státy V4 jádro vnímají jako součást přechodu k nízkoemisní energetice, Německo a Rakousko naopak energetickou budoucnost spatřují mimo j…

Measurement Invariance of Subjective Social Status: The Issue of Single-item Questions in Social Stratification Research

Measures of objective and subjective social status are commonly used in social stratification research. While objective measures have been extensively examined for cross-national comparability, subjective indicators have received less attention. This study aims to address this research gap by investigating the measurement invariance of the three most commonly used single-item measures of subjective social status across many countries. Using a Bayesian approximation approach, we analysed data from three waves o…

Gender and eco-domesticity: Are sustainable consumption and a return to the home emancipatory in Czechia?

Recently, there has been renewed interest in homemaking and domestic practices and the revival of domesticity has become related with pro-environmental values and sustainable lifestyles in Western societies. The turn to domesticity tends to be associated with women. While some authors warn of a return to traditional gender roles within the household, others view eco-domesticity as a feminist project that values domestic practices. This article considers the gender-specific aspects of the revival in a post-soci…

Research note: Gender and educational differences in childcare time: Evidence from the Czech Republic

This study explores the gender and educational differences in the time spent on childcare in the Czech Republic. In particular, we ask how gender and educational gradients in parenting time intersect and whether they vary by the child’s age. We consider the time parents spend in basic, interactive and focused childcare care as a way to address the intensive parenting model. Prior research has documented an increase in parental time investment in childcare associated with changes in gender roles and the sprea…

We draw on literature that critiques the individualised and masculine conception of entrepreneurship as focused on innovation and profit. Our analysis reveals the diversity of entrepreneurial strategies for coping with pandemics. The choice of strategies has often been interpreted with an…
