Item Fertility policy in post-Soviet Russia : policy analysis and prescriptions(2011-12) Dow, Kelsey Lynn; Neuburger, Mary, 1966-; Markovits, Inga SRussia has over the past century experienced a phenomenal drop in fertility. In the post-Soviet period, the birth rate per woman has dropped to one of the lowest in the world, and the population continues to age. While aware of the coming demographic crisis since the 1980s, the state has in the last decade publicly acknowledged the problem and begun drafting policy reforms aimed at increasing fertility. These reforms have included: limitations on abortions, parental leave policies, public competitions and campaigns, and direct transfer payments to parents. These generally unsuccessful programs, however, have suffered from a lack of long-term foresight, steady funding, and an acknowledgement of slowing of and recent reversal of population growth. In order to increase fertility and the health of the Russian population, future reforms will need to address the instability of tax inflows in to the federal budget, acknowledge broader infrastructure issues in the Russian economy, and decrease issues of sexual discrimination, misogyny, and abuse.Item Prediction of gender identity, gender roles, and sexism/misogyny in undergraduate students(Texas Tech University, 1997-05) Pair, Beverly SueThe purpose of this study was to explore undergraduate students' background variables or predictor variables (e.g., the independent latent variables gender, race, SES, religion, political orientation, and family background) and their relationship with the dependent latent variables, gender identity, gender roles, and sexism/misogyny. The final structural model (Model 3) presented was the first model proposed within current research literature to examine the complex relationships among gender identity, gender roles, and sexism/misogyny.Item Trick(ster)ing ain't easy : (re)discovering the black butch and (de)stabilizing gender in street lit(2014-05) Key, Patena Starlin; Richardson, Matt, 1969-The following project serves to question the effects of capitalism upon modes of eroticism, misogyny and sexism by focusing upon the black masculine female (butch/stud) within Street Lit. Chapter one defines Street Lit, its importance, and Trick(Ster)ing as a concept. Chapter 2 is a close analysis of two primary texts utilizing Trick(Ster)ing as a method of survival and resistance in a capitalist society. The final chapter discusses the relationship between black female masculinity and misogyny.
