Globalisation, Geopolitics, and Gender in Professional Communication
This edited collection investigates the linguistics of globalisation, geopolitics and gender in workplace cultures in a range of different contemporary international settings.The chapters examine how issues of globalisation, gender and geopolitics affect professionals in different workplace contexts, including domestic workers; IT professionals; teachers, university staff; engineers; entrepreneurs; CEOs of different corporates including locally based businesses as well as multinationals; farmers; co-operative leaders; NGO leaders; bloggers; healthcare assistants and caregivers. Taking different sociolinguistic approaches to exploring language and the geopolitics of gender at work in Dubai, Kuwait, Kenya, Uganda, Morocco, Nigeria, Malaysia, Turkey, Belgium, Switzerland, New Zealand, Uganda, the UK and the USA, each chapter focuses on a range of salient geopolitical issues which often have global applicability, but which may also be subject to more localised socio-cultural variation.The chapters critically discuss issues of gendered language, perceptions and representations of workplace cultures, discrimination, the role of gendered stereotyping and deeply ingrained socio-cultural myths about gender and the importance of examining the intersections of identity – all of which continue to persist as barriers to equality and inclusion in workplaces worldwide. Despite the variation and diversity in professions and geopolitical contexts captured across the chapters, remarkably similar issues of gender discrimination and persisting inequalities are identified and critically discussed, thus pointing to the global nature of these issues.

Software or hardware?
When deciding between software and hardware, it ultimately depends on the specific needs and goals of the user. Software provides flexibility, scalability, and ease of updates, making it ideal for tasks that require frequent changes or updates. On the other hand, hardware offers reliability, security, and performance for tasks that require high processing power or data storage. It is important to carefully evaluate the requirements of the project or task at hand to determine whether software or hardware is the best solution.

'Software or hardware?'
The choice between software and hardware depends on the specific needs and goals of the user. Software provides flexibility and can be easily updated or customized, while hardware offers physical components that may be more reliable and provide better performance for certain tasks. Ultimately, the decision between software and hardware should be based on the specific requirements of the user and the intended use of the technology.

What gender does the ugly gender have?
The concept of an "ugly gender" does not exist. Gender is a social construct that is not inherently tied to physical appearance or attractiveness. It is important to recognize that beauty standards are subjective and should not be used to define or categorize gender.
-
Doesn't the gender thing support gender roles?
The concept of gender is separate from the idea of gender roles. Gender refers to the social and cultural expectations and norms associated with being male, female, or non-binary, while gender roles are the specific behaviors and activities that society expects from individuals based on their gender. While the concept of gender can influence and perpetuate gender roles, it also allows for the recognition and acceptance of diverse gender identities and expressions beyond traditional roles. By understanding and challenging the construct of gender, we can work towards breaking down restrictive gender roles and promoting equality and inclusivity for all individuals.

The Green Revolution : Narratives of Politics, Technology and Gender
This book reviews the Green Revolution, starting with its inception and development from the 1940s to the 1970s, and leading to what is commonly referred to as a second Green Revolution in the 2000s.Building on the historical assessment, it draws insights for contemporary policy debates and demonstrates important lessons for the here and now. ‘Green Revolution’ refers to the technical measures employed to increase food (particularly grain) production, based mainly on improved seed varieties for higher yields and pest resistance.For it to be successful the Green Revolution often required land reform, investments in irrigation and fertilizer supply that were not available to women and marginal farmers.This book analyses three underlying principles that have guided green revolutions: the political environment in which they were set; how they contributed to both the successes and challenges the Green Revolution continues to face; and the systemic institutional barriers for access to these agricultural production advances, with a focus on how gender relations limit the inclusion of women even when they are the principle cultivators and farm managers.The book draws on experiences in Mexico, India and China, examining government policy, the role of the family farm, and key issues around the inclusion of women.In doing so, this book connects the history of the Green Revolution with contemporary policy debates on the developing world, particularly in relation to Africa and Asia, around foreign aid and agricultural research.It also specifically establishes that greater inclusivity for women and other marginalised farming communities will significantly enhance the effectiveness of these programs. Interlinking themes of development policy, gender, and agricultural research, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of agricultural development, food security, and sustainable development, as well as policymakers and practitioners working in international aid and agri-food policies.

Border Frictions : Gender, Generation and Technology on the Frontline
How did Canadian border officers come to think of themselves as a "police of the border"?This book tells the story of the shift to law enforcement in Canadian border control.From the 1990s onward, it traces the transformation of a customs organization into a border-policing agency. Border Frictions investigates how considerable political efforts and state resources have made bordering a matter of security and trade facilitation best managed with surveillance technologies.Based on interviews with border officers, ethnographic work carried out in the vicinity of land border ports of entry and policy analysis, this book illuminates features seldom reviewed by critical border scholars.These include the fraught circulation of data, the role of unions in shaping the border policy agenda, the significance of professional socialization in the making of distinct generations of security workers and evidence of the masculinization of bordering.In a time when surveillance technologies track the mobilities of goods and people and push their control beyond and inside geopolitical borderlines, Côté-Boucher unpacks how we came to accept the idea that it is vital to deploy coercive bordering tactics at the land border. Written in a clear and engaging style, this book will appeal to students and scholars in criminology, sociology, social theory, politics, and geography and appeal to those interested in learning about the everyday reality of policing the border.

Television, Technology and Gender : New Platforms and New Audiences
The way we watch television is changing. While consumption of traditional broadcast television is going down, consumption of non-traditional platform television including subscription viewing, box-set series and online streaming is going up.This is the first study to consider the ways in which recent technologies of television can be understood in terms of the gendering of audiences.Taking a viewer-based approach, Sarah Arnold shows how old claims that television is a female medium are now being called into question, due to changes in the spatial practices of viewing and developments in content.Though film has commonly been characterised as 'masculine' and television 'feminine', this paradigm is now being complicated and challenged.This timely book offers important critical insight into current intersections between gender, television consumption and technology."

What does gender and gender identity mean to you?
Gender and gender identity to me are about how individuals perceive and express themselves in relation to societal expectations and norms associated with being male, female, or non-binary. It is a deeply personal and complex aspect of one's identity that can influence how they navigate the world, interact with others, and understand themselves. I believe that everyone should have the freedom to define and express their gender in a way that feels authentic and true to who they are.
