Destined to Design? How and Why Australian Women Choose to Study Industrial Design     

Cathy Lockhart  Evonne Miller 《The International Journal of Art & Design Education》2016,35(2):213-228

Despite over three decades of legislation and initiatives designed to tackle the traditional gender divide in the science, technology and design fields, only a quarter of the registered architects in Australia are women. There are no statistics available for other design disciplines, with little known about why women choose design as a career path and who or what influences this decision. This qualitative research addresses this knowledge gap, through semi‐structured in‐depth interviews conducted with 19 Australian women who completed an industrial (product) design degree. Thematic analysis revealed three key themes: childhood aptitude and exposure; significant experiences and people; and design as a serendipitous choice. The findings emphasise the importance of early exposure to design as a potential career choice, highlighting the critical role played by parents, teachers, professionals and social networks.  相似文献   

North Korean women defectors in South Korea and their political participation     

《Int J Intercult Relat》2016

This study examines the political participation intentions of North Korean women refugees. Previous literature tends to highlight the sufferings and difficulties that female refugees experience as they leave their homelands and settle in a new country. Few studies have been directed toward the political dimension of refugee life. The empirical results show that North Korean women defectors hold generally participatory attitudes toward politics and mostly liberal opinions on policy issues. Furthermore, among the socio-demographic variables, age and marital status are generally influential in the intention of political participation among the North Korean women defectors. Among the political attitudinal variables, attitude toward environmental policy consistently affects political participation intention. With respect to defector-specific variables, satisfaction with life in South Korea is influential, whereas cultural adaptation is not.  相似文献   

The international telecommunication regime in the information age     

《普罗米修斯》2012,30(4):399-414

This paper examines recent changes in the international telecommunication regime. The concept of an international regime comes from the field of international relations. Although it is not universally accepted, one of the most widely supported definitions describes an international regime as, ‘implicit or explicit principles, norms, rules, and decision‐making procedures around which actors’ expectations converge in a given area of international relations'.¹ The ‘given area’ of concern here is telecommunication. Telecommunication and the principles, norms, rules and decision‐making procedures which are relevant to it at the international level—which have been studied extensively by communications and development economics scholars²—have only rarely been the focus of international relations scholars.³ The objective of this paper is to use tools from the study of international relations to explore subject matter that has more frequently been the focus of scholars in communications, development economics, and information economics.  相似文献

国际背景下的我国初中化学课程的发展   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

魏冰 《教育理论与实践》2004,(12)

从国际影响的视角看,可将我国初中化学课程在1978年到2001年间的变化划分为四个阶段。在每一个阶段,初中化学课程都受到国际的影响,在不同阶段所影响的内容与程度是不同的,当国际趋势符合国内的教育(课程)政策时,它便能较大幅度地影响化学课程,反之则弱。  相似文献

世界主义的价值诉求——国际关系规范理论的视角   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

张旺 《教学与研究》2006,103(12):60-66

世界主义是一种具有悠久传统的哲学理念,它主张世界是一个单一的共同体,所有人皆为其中的平等成员。近年来随着国际关系规范理论的复兴,世界主义再次走向前台。在当前全球化的背景下,面对国际政治、经济秩序的重大变迁,一系列关乎人类命运问题的显现,以个人主义的价值前提和全球共同体的道德理想为基础,世界主义在人权的普遍性、全球范围的分配正义和世界主义民主等不同领域都表达了自己的道德诉求。然而,作为一种普遍性的价值目标,其在具体实施过程中可能产生的负面影响同样不容忽视。  相似文献   

东北亚能源共同体的宗旨与原则——国际组织法视角的探析     

蒋新苗  张云鹏 《湖南师范大学社会科学学报》2007,36(6):43-48

从国际组织法的角度出发,深入分析建立东北亚能源共同体的必要性、可行性及其意义.东北亚能源共同体应是一个具有独立国际法律人格的国际组织,其宗旨和原则皆围绕促进东北亚能源合作、维持东北亚能源安全这一目标展开.东北亚能源共同体的构建必须符合公认的国际法准则.以国际法的原则、规则和制度为基础构建东北亚能源合作法律新秩序理应成为东北亚各国的共同追求.  相似文献
