You recognize the signs.
People avoiding the colour pink for fear of appearing too feminine. Crying being labelled as a sign of 카지노 게임 컬렉션weakness카지노 게임 컬렉션. Holding attitudes that suggest women are less capable than men.
These are all examples of femmephobia and anti-femininity 카지노 게임 컬렉션 prejudices against femininity and feminine qualities. While some examples of femmephobia can be highly overt, it can also be subtle in how it influences cultural norms.
Rhea Hoskin believes femmephobia and anti-femininity are second nature in society, and their prevalence makes it difficult to conduct research into how this mindset factors into gender-based violence and discrimination. So, her post-doctoral research at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s will aim to develop scales to measure femmephobic attitudes and experiences, and to identify the most likely targets of such attitudes.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Specifically, in this work I seek to connect different types of violence to the ways in which society views femininity,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It is my hope that this research helps us to better understand how attitudes that devalue and regulate femininity fuel other forms of discrimination. And, ultimately, I hope that this work encourages the re-valuing of femininity as a strategy to combat misogyny, sexism, homophobia, transmisogyny, and rape culture.카지노 게임 컬렉션
This promising research topic, coupled with Dr. Hoskin카지노 게임 컬렉션s other contributions to women카지노 게임 컬렉션s health and to science over the past decade, recently earned her a 2019 Ontario Women카지노 게임 컬렉션s Health Scholars Award. The award was established by the Council of Ontario Universities to ensure that Ontario attracts and retains pre-eminent women카지노 게임 컬렉션s health scholars.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I was driving when I got the call notifying me that I had received the award,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she said. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I had to pull over because I was instantly overcome with emotion. In all honesty, I broke out into an ugly cry 카지노 게임 컬렉션 it was a happy cry, but it was most definitely ugly. I immediately called my mother and wife to let them know. We were all ecstatic.카지노 게임 컬렉션
For Dr. Hoskin, who also recently received the Governor General카지노 게임 컬렉션s Gold Medal as one of two of the top graduate students across the university based on academic achievement, this Women카지노 게임 컬렉션s Health Scholars award means she gets to continue pursuing her passion.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I think that many people feel relieved or excited when they finish their PhD, but I mostly felt sad by the thought that I might not get to continue with my research, and this line of research in particular,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she adds. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Not only do I love research in and of itself, but I love being able to research femme identities, femmephobia, and anti-femininity in particular.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Working with Sari van Anders, Canada 150 Research Chair in Social Neuroendocrinology, Sexuality, and Gender/Sex, as her post-doctoral supervisor was a major draw for Dr. Hoskin, as her research requires an interdisciplinary mentor who can understand the complexity of gender and feminist theory and simultaneously work within an empirical realm.
카지노 게임 컬렉션The opportunity to work with Dr. van Anders will uniquely set me up to continue, and strengthen, the trajectory of my research program,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
Dr. Hoskin카지노 게임 컬렉션s hope is, through her research, that she can create fresh understanding around why it is we devalue and demote people and things that are feminine, and how that affects women카지노 게임 컬렉션s health and well-being.
카지노 게임 컬렉션My research centers marginalized people and applies queer and marginalized perspectives to broader social analyses 카지노 게임 컬렉션 thus, to have the importance of this perspective recognized and funded is meaningful,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she adds. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Personally and professionally this award allows me to continue to foster interdisciplinary research collaborations with scholars in Ontario. It is my future goal to continue this programme of research at an Ontario university.카지노 게임 컬렉션
In addition to her research accomplishments and her ambitious agenda, Dr. Hoskin is also the co-chair of and is currently the guest editor for an upcoming special issue on critical femininities in Psychology & Sexuality. She is also an invited guest editor for a special issue on femme theory for The Journal of Lesbian Studies.
