Typology of Women’s Collective Agency In Relation to Women’s Equality Outcomes: Case Studies from Egypt and Beyond
The European Journal of Development Research, 2020Co-Authors: Mariz TadrosAbstract:There is a rich body of scholarship recognizing the important role of women’s Collective Agency and mobilization for gender equality, inclusive development, and politics. In this paper, we interrogate the relationship between women’s Collective Agency on the one hand, and its contribution towards women’s equality outcomes on the other, drawing on empirical work undertaken during over 20 years’ fieldwork on women’s Collective action in Egypt and complemented with a literature review of women’s Collective action globally. A typology is proposed for analyzing women’s Collective Agency in terms of women’s movements, women in movements, feminist, anti-feminist movements, and gender justice movements, which inform an interpretive framework that explores Collective Agency and women’s equality outcomes. First, while recognizing the need to avoid reductionist understandings of women’s Collective Agency exclusively in terms of their agenda on gender equality, this paper argues that Collective Agency and equality outcomes cannot be entirely disentangled. Second, it suggests that women’s membership and leadership in Collective action can have highly varied implications on women’s equality outcomes, both positive and detrimental. The paper concludes with reflections on the implications of the analysis of the relationships between women’s and men’s Collective Agency for praxis.

Nombreuses sont les bourses d’études qui reconnaissent le rôle important de l’action Collective et de la mobilisation des femmes en faveur de l’égalité des sexes, du développement inclusif et de la politique. Dans cet article, nous interrogeons la relation entre l'action Collective des femmes d'une part, et sa contribution à l'égalité entre femmes et hommes d'autre part, en nous appuyant sur des travaux empiriques entrepris sur le terrain pendant plus de 20 ans sur l'action Collective des femmes en Egypte et en les complétant par une revue de la littérature sur l'action Collective des femmes dans le monde. Nous proposons une typologie pour analyser l’action Collective des femmes en termes de mouvements de femmes, de femmes dans les mouvements, de mouvements féministes, antiféministes et de mouvements pour la justice de genre. Cette typologie vient éclairer un cadre interprétatif qui explore l’action Collective et les résultats en matière d’égalité des sexes. Premièrement, tout en reconnaissant la nécessité d’éviter les éclairages réducteurs de l’action Collective des femmes, selon lesquels cette action se cantonnerait exclusivement à leur programme sur l’égalité des sexes, cet article fait valoir que l’action Collective et les résultats en matière d’égalité des sexes ne peuvent être entièrement dissociés. Deuxièmement, l’article émet l’idée que l’adhésion des femmes à l’action Collective ainsi que leur leadership peuvent avoir des implications très diverses en matière d’égalité entre femmes et hommes, à la fois positives et négatives. Cet article se termine par des réflexions sur ce qu’implique l’analyse des relations entre l’action Collective des femmes et des hommes dans la pratique.

Regional Development Through Entrepreneurial Exaptation: Epistemological Displacement, Affordances, and Collective Agency in Rural Regions
Journal of Rural Studies, 2020Co-Authors: Johan Gaddefors, Steffen Korsgaard, Mads Bruun IngstrupAbstract:Abstract The creation of growth and development in rural regions presents a key challenge for both researchers and policy makers. In this paper, we explore entrepreneurial exaptation as a mechanism for creating regional development in rural regions characterised by organisational thinness. Exaptation as a source of innovation involves the adoption of one or more resources for a different purpose than it was originally intended or designed for. Using a longitudinal field study of a region in rural Sweden and a garden-themed new venture based on the exaptation of local resources, we show how exaptation can initiate a positive development path in a hitherto lagging rural region. Through Collective Agency, involving entrepreneurs and locals, the exaptation creates an epistemological displacement that discloses concrete and abstract affordances in local resources. Overall, our study points to the importance of entrepreneurial exaptation as a source of innovation in rural regions and suggests that regional development paths are not determined by lock-in effects and path dependencies related to existing resource bases.

virtually an alternative the medium the message and the user experience Collective Agency in digital spaces and embodied social change
5th LAEMOS Colloquium on Organization Studies Constructing Alternatives: How can we organize for alternative social economic and ecological balance, 2014Co-Authors: Karen ChamAbstract:This paper begins to looks at the digital realm as an alternative space of self organization; one where communities, Collective Agency and social change are in a co-evolving feedback loop - by design. Firstly, by outlining a methodological basis from which to address the topic, setting out why we require new methodology to understand human Agency in digital space based on the concept of ‘user experience design’ (UXD). Then by giving examples from current practice, to demonstrate how UX design parameters are often unintentionally subverted in the social use of digital spaces, giving rise to a type of Collective Agency that would have conventionally been understood in media theory as ‘aberrant decoding’. However, it is argued that Collective Agency in digital space is better understood as a type of 'human noise', a bi-product of the medium of transmission, as it is as often as undesirable as it is beneficial. It is concluded that in digital space, ‘user experience’ is a part of a converged medium/message/effect transaction and proposes how to design responsibly for this, in the knowledge that engagementwith the message, via this medium, will result inembodiedsocial change

Collective Agency among Physics Teachers: A Case in China’s Curriculum Reform
International Journal of Secondary Education, 2014Co-Authors: Samson NashonAbstract:This study explored how secondary physics teachers exercised their Collective Agency in the process of adopting and adapting to a nation-wide curriculum reform in China. Through an ethnographic approach and drawing on Social Cognitive Theory, physics teachers’ Collective Agency was explored and interpreted. The results revealed that Collective Agency was a mediating bridge through which the discrepancies between reform mandates and teachers’ pedagogies and curriculum interpretations were negotiated. Further, Collective Agency helped teachers to cope with uncertainties generated by the reform and offered mental supports. Moreover, the reform mandates undermined the traditional power hierarchy within teachers and thus stimulated teachers’ Collective Agency. The study demonstrates the interdependent relations between Collective Agency and reform environment and has implications for theory, practice, curriculum, and research.
