The interplay of gender discourses with structural dimensions are analysed to see how these work to uphold ideals whilst posing contrary demands on mothers. Part of the focus has thus been to look at how discourses are adhered, aligned and adjusted to in various ways as strategies for survival in the context of p

Abstract:

Despite multiple reforms, the education system of the United States continues to leave students behind, particularly those from marginalized groups. Student empowerment is defined as a process by which students gain more control over their lives and develop empowered academic outcomes including competence, self-determination, and a sense that their voice is heard. The current study expands the literature on school climate and applies the literature on empowering settings to an urban, public high school with the goal of identifying characteristics of schools which are related to student empower

Abstract:

The frequent occurrences of unprecedented natural disasters continue to pose the greatest threat to many countries around the world. The ‘shock’ that these natural disasters give has taken a toll especially on developing countries’ economies. Many vulnerable groups within these countries are the most severely affected by disasters. Among them, women face many difficulties during the post disaster phase. Apart from poverty, environmental degradation and different needs of men and women, the marginalised role of women in post disaster reconstruction further contributes to women's vulnerability i

This study offers an exploration of the drama which contains Aboriginal people's effort to attain a visible reality based on cultural and political rights.

Though the study considers a large number of playtexts written by the Indigenous playwrights from 1970s to the present, it explores playtexts written by non-Indigenous playwrights as well. Here, the chief concern is to explore the discursive features of the texts, the items both linguistic and drama

Abstract:

Worldwide, there is a low representation of women in elected political positions compared to men. Several studies have shown that women are more concern about women’s and children’s issues. Given that women make up a larger share of the poor, helping women could be one possible way of fighting poverty. The context in which women live can be challenged and changed by empowering women politically. Past studies conducted to analyze the impact that women politicians have on policies and investments they make will be explored in this research study. Specifically, how giving greater political power
