identity subjectivity and natural resource use how ethnicity gender and class intersect to influence mangrove oyster harvesting in the gambia
Geoforum, 2016Co-Authors: Ivan R ScalesAbstract:Abstract Environmental policies have paid increasing attention to the socio-cultural dimensions of human–environment interactions, in an effort to address the failures of previous ‘top-down’ practices which imposed external rules and regulations and ignored local beliefs and customs. As a result, the relationship between identity and resource use is an area of growing interest in both policy and academic circles. However, most research has treated forms of Social Difference such as gender, ethnicity and class as separate dimensions that produce distinct types of inequalities and patterns of resource use. In doing so, research fails to embrace key insights from theories of intersectionality and misses the key role of space and place in shaping individual and group subjectivities. In this paper we investigate how multiple types of identity influence resource use and practice among a group of women oyster harvesters in The Gambia. We find that oyster harvesting is shaped by the confluence of an aversion to stigmatised waged labour; gendered expectations of providing for one’s family; and an historically informed and spatially bounded sense of ethnicity. Drawing on the concept of contact zones, we show how new interactions and intra-actions between previously isolated groups of oyster harvesters have broadened conceptions of ethnicity. However, we find that new subjectivities overlay rather than replace old clan alliances, leading to tensions. We argue that new contact zones and emerging subjectivities can thus be at once uniting and divisive, with important implications for natural resource management.

occupation centered analysis of Social Difference contributions to a Socially responsive occupational science
Journal of Occupational Science, 2014Co-Authors: Amber M AngellAbstract:The call for a more Socially responsive occupational science demands critical analysis of occupational injustice. While scholarship has highlighted the role of occupation in Social transformation, less attention has been paid to the role of occupation in perpetuating the hegemonic Social order. This paper explores the mechanisms of Social inequality by arguing that occupation can be a site of reproduction of the Social order such as gender, race and class. I will ground my argument in Black feminist theory and sociological interactional theory, showing how gender, race and class can be experienced as linked systems of oppression. Three developments in occupational science will be outlined as a foundation for an occupation-centered analysis of Social Difference: the increased attention to inequality in opportunity for occupational participation based on Social categories such as gender, race, and class; the development of occupation-centered analyses; and the movement from individualistic to contextual app...

InDifference and queer television studies : distinguishing norms of existence and coexistence
'Informa UK Limited', 2020Co-Authors: Vanlee Florian, Dhaenens Frederik, Van Bauwel SofieAbstract:This paper deploys a case study of the first transgender lead character in Flemish television fiction-Kaat Bomans in the soap opera Thuis [Home] (een, 1995-)-to engage an underexplored distinction between the televisual dissemination of identity norms that regulate the embodied Difference of sexual and gender minorities and ethical norms that prescribe moral modes of interacting with Social Difference. Conceived of as a representation normative to transgender existence, Kaat reifies identity norms that dictate how transpeople may legitimately embody Difference. These reduce the diversity of transgender subjectivities into a singular and stable identity premised on binary gender conformity. Approached as a narrative that produces normative frames for cisgender people too, however, the case study shows that Kaat's storyline propagates ethical norms on moral modes of coexistence and the negotiation of Difference. Prescribing ethical inDifference as a moral framework to negotiate Difference in interpersonal interactions, Thuis invites viewers to acknowledge others' Difference without centralizing it as the central modality to Social interaction. Supplementing identity-based television critique with reflection on ethical frameworks, the essay argues in conclusion, allows scholarship to not only critique what television is doing wrong, but to formulate what television should be doing to make things better

Young people and the rural economy: synthesis and implications
'CABI Publishing', 2021Co-Authors: Sumberg J, Szyp C, Yeboah T, Oosterom M, Crossouard B, Chamberlin JAbstract:This book unites recent findings from quantitative and qualitative research from across Africa to illuminate how young men and women engage with the rural economy and imagine their futures, and how development policies and interventions can find traction with these realities. Through framing, overview and evidence-based chapters, this book provides a critical perspective on current discourse, research and development interventions around youth and rural development. Chapters are organized around commonly-made foundational claims: that large numbers of young people are leaving rural areas, have no interest in agriculture, cannot access land, can be the engine of rural transformation, are stuck in permanent waithood, and that the rural economy can provide a wealth of opportunity. This book: - Engages with and challenges current research, policy and development debates. - Considers Social Difference as a way of examining the category of youth. - Is written by authors from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, providing varied perspectives. This book draws from existing literature and new analysis of several multi-country and multi-disciplinary studies, focusing on gender and other aspects of Social Difference. It is suitable for researchers, policy makers and advocates, as well as postgraduate students in international development and agricultural economics
