Abstract:

Violence has long been endemic to Pakistan. In the presence of continued political instability, extremism and terrorism, the Government of Pakistan has paid little attention to the role of women in violent extremism and in the radicalisation of society. Policymakers and academics have failed to identify linkages between either the types of education available to women, the lack of justice available to a woman or the grievances woman have against the state and their role in the rise of extremism. The aim of this study is to identify women’s attitudes as either supporters or opponents of violent

Abstract:

This thesis examines the experiences of mature women students who return to learning after a number of years out of the education system. It is a qualitative study based on loosely structured in-depth interviews with forty nine women attending college or university on a variety of courses in and around a northern city. The research, set within a theoretical framework of patriarchy, began as an exploration of the barriers which mature women meet when they return to education. These issues were very real in the women's lives, though they did not necessarily conceptualise them as barriers. In add

This thesis analyses the contribution of women to educational development in the Irish-speaking parishes of Tullaghobegley West and Tullaghobegley East and Rathmunterdoney (later named Cloughaneely and Gweedore), which are located in north-west Donegal during the period 1831 -1960. In the introductory section, an attempt is made to establish the economic, labour and social context in which women's participation in education became possible. In 1831, the geographically isolated area of north-west Donegal was inhabited by a mainly small tenant population. The majority of the children did not hav

Abstract:

Public schools are facing a leadership crisis regarding the lack of women superintendents in the United States. Although, historically, women have dominated the positions of classroom teachers and outnumbered men in receiving administrative leadership certificates, there is a disproportion in the number of men and women superintendents leading the nation's approximate 14,000 public schools. While current researchers describe the complex roles that the superintendency entails, there is little data on gender differences, specifically, how women superintendents achieve longevity in this role.

Abstract:

Female participation in all spheres of society is crucial in the development of a nation. One way of increasing this participation is through education in the formal system because it provides more opportunities in a modernizing society. This study presents the situation of women in education in the context of Tanzania, which has developed policies geared towards equality at all levels of society. Tanzanian educational policies have attempted to equalize opportunities for everyone regardless of race, gender and social class. A few of those policies have succeeded in reducing gender imbalances

Abstract:

Older women are a rapidly growing sector of the Canadian population and will number about 4 million by the year 2031. They are also a group which must be recognized as being at risk in later life for reasons often beyond their control or comprehension. Elderly women experience higher levels of poverty, institutionalization and criminal victimization than older men. While many of the vicissitudes of old age are unavoidable, aging is much more problematic for women due to socially constructed inequities rooted historically in cultural patterns of age and gender relations. Consequently, women's e

Abstract:

Although more women than men are entering higher education worldwide, their representation in senior educational administrative positions is paltry (Oram-Stering, 2015). This is also true in the Gulf state of Oman. Despite the enormous advancement made by women in the field of higher education, their ability to leverage their educational success to obtain senior faculty positions and progress their careers, while navigating the challenges posed by socio-cultural and religious practices and discourses in Oman, appears limited.

Yet, the needs of many people are not being expressed, heard, or addressed adequately. This study focused specifically on gender, one aspect of this pressing concern, offering evidence to demonstrate that AE needs to routinely examine and expand its practices to effectively meet its social claims.

The second chapter will focus on the relationship between language learning and how gender issues can influence second/foreign language acquisition, providing evidence on how knowing more than one language can help

First, it examined the conceptual basis of the presidents' leadership agendas. Second, it provided a comparative analysis of a feminist leadership model to other, more prominent, models of higher education leadership. A feminist research methodology, which extended beyond describing simplified realities of women leaders, was used to determine if women leaders' interpretations of how they practice leader

Many women have negative feelings towards their genitals, and studies show that this may be due to misconceptions about how normal vaginas look and work.

To do this, user research was conducted in the form of two semi-structured interviews and a survey of 112 participants.
