Abstract:
This commentary examines the teaching of research methods in Women and Gender Studies in the Gender Studies Unit of the Institute of African Studies, University of Ibadan. It interrogates how the course has increased the awareness of students in the methods of conducting research and how the research they conduct has implications on marginalized populations. The course also highlights the need for a growing body of knowledge that engages the experience of black women in Africa and the African diaspora. The course draws the attention of students to the agency of women through the reading and te

Purpose Ascription theory together with human capital theory both predict that, over time, the scarcity of knowledge and skills in increasingly complex working contexts will “crowd out” the influence of arbitrary characteristics such as gender. The purpose of this paper is to test the extent to which job performance determinants of research productivity differ by gender in their contributions to research productivity, in the developing country (South Africa) context, in which gender and other forms of historical discrimination were previously endemic.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction Chronic insufficient sleep is linked to a variety of adverse health outcomes, with African Americans reporting and objectively receiving poorer sleep outcomes in comparison to their non-Hispanic white counterparts. African Americans live disproportionately in low-income and disordered neighborhoods that increase one’s risk of experiencing a traumatic event and interfere with sleep. It has been demonstrated that posttraumatic stress disorder disrupts sleep in part due to its association with sleep-related fears. However, less research has evaluated the additional contribut

Abstract:
Rapid urbanisation is one of the most dramatic developments on the African continent, often yielding contrasting and shocking images of affluent businesses and residential districts alongside sprawling shantytowns or slums. Urban areas account for an increasing part of the continent’s positive macro-economic development and represent opportunities for employment, education, health, leisure and well-being. However, urban growth is also manifested in emerging conditions of inequality and poverty, rising environmental problems, situations of political instability and riots, as well as persistent

This study contributes towards understanding the complex dynamics that are inherent in the transformation of institutional culture in the higher education environment in South Africa. Innovative use was made of gender-based change as a case study of social transformation in a case institution, the University of Cape Town. A feminist, qualitative approach was used to map gender as a component of institutional culture and to explore how the institution's culture influences the dynamics of gender-based change.

For many Muslim women, their countries’ legal regimes are perceived as continuing to place them at a disadvantage due to their sex, primarily due to gendered assumptions based on the Qur’ān and the patriarchal social frameworks under which legal regimes were instituted and applied. The development of a discourse of gender justice rooted in authoritative Islamic texts finds its greatest challenge in translating into praxis, for which the legal sphere, in which patriarchal authority in the name is Islam is seemingly unshakably entrenched, is one of the arenas in which the challenge has to be met

Abstract:
This chapter explores the music, life, and institutional building of drummer, feminist, and artistic director for the Berklee Institute for Jazz and Gender Justice, Terri Lyne Carrington. Through and examination of her cultural work, this chapter discusses Carrington’s attack on patriarchy in jazz culture through Black feminist thought reflected in her musical practices. Her work exposes the irony of the Black aesthetic values of inclusion at the foundation of African American improvised music in contrast with the patriarchal practice of marginalizing women improvisers. Carrington’s musical arrangement of Bernice Johnson Reagon’s composition “Echo” on The Mosaic Project (2011) is analyzed as linked critique of anti-blackness over and several compositions on Terri Lyne Carrington and Social Science (2019) are analyzed as an intersectional critique of police brutality, gay conversion therapy, celebration of Black feminism, and gender inequity represented respectively in “Bells (Ring Loudly),” “Pray the Gay Away,” “Anthem,” and “Purple Mountains.”

This chapter situates Ebony’s evolving black history content within the broader struggle for black-centred education and the ‘Black Revolution’ on campus during the late 1960s and early 1970s. During this period, Ebony’s historical content presented a militant and, at times, heavily gendered interpretation of the African American past. On an individual level, Bennett’s developing relationship with organisations such as Northwestern University and the Institute of the Black World underscored the uniqueness of his role as Ebony’s in-house historian, and the complexity of his position as both a magazine editor and a black public intellectual.
