Title: Complex Inequality and Working Mothers.
Speaker: Dr Clare O'Hagan, FESTA, UL
Abstract
For women who combine motherhood with paid work, Ireland is no country for working mothers. Drawing on research with thirty 'working mothers', this seminar reveals that a complex inequality occurs at the intersection of motherhood with paid work, which creates difficulties for women who attempt to combine the two. In Ireland as elsewhere, changes in the male breadwinner model, with women's participation in paid work, have not been matched by changes in society, polity and economy to support gender equality. Policies for supporting unpaid care work are undeveloped compared with labour market activation measures. Families are currently combining working and caring in many different ways, but with little social support. Women make heroic efforts in combining motherhood with paid work as if they are 'ideal workers' in the workplace, and full-time-in-the-home mothers and attempt to meet the demands on women in both spheres. Current ideas about 'ideal mothers' and 'ideal workers,' are promoted in dominant discourses, which reveal the operation of power and its effects on social policy, legislation, employers' and women's practices.

Title: Breaking the Academic Glass-Ceiling: How Sweden Became the Country with the Highest Proportion of Women University Presidents in Europe.
Speaker: Dr Helen Peterson Associate Professor, Department of Sociology and Work Science University of Gothenburg
Abstract
The intent of this seminar is to contribute to a discussion on how the academic glass ceiling can be shattered. Sweden stands out as a country with a significantly higher proportion of women Vice-Chancellors (i.e. University Presidents) than other countries. In 2010, 43 per cent of the Swedish Vice-Chancellors were women, compared to the average 10 per cent in the 27 EU countries (European Commission 2012). In 2015, 8 of the 16 Swedish Universities have women Vice-Chancellors and only 4 out of 12 University Colleges (higher education institutions which are less research intensive than the Universities) have men as Vice-Chancellors. This is a dramatic change from 1990 when there were no women Vice-Chancellors at any University and only two women Vice-Chancellors at the University Colleges. In my presentation I will identify several factors that can explain this increase in women Vice-Chancellors, taking into consideration national policies and women's networks as well as changes in skills requirements. The appointment process and the recruitment profiles are particularly investigated. I have examined documents reporting on 69 different Vice-Chancellor appointments at 28 Swedish higher education institutions between 1983 and 2015. An in-depth comparison between the 27 cases when a woman was appointed Vice-Chancellor and the 42 that resulted in the appointment of a male Vice Chancellor reveals that there are notable divergences in how the "ideal" University President is described and conceptualized - that could explain the different outcomes.

Title: Gender, Development and the Media since 1945: It is not a man's world!
Speaker: Dr Jairo Lugo-Ocando, Associate Professor in the School of Media and Communication University of Leeds
Abstract
The issue of gender is of pivotal importance when it comes to how the media represents poverty and development. Nevertheless, it is an area widely under researched in journalism studies. Therefore the paper asks why women are represented in a certain way and what effects does this has on the articulation of news about development. The paper explores gender as a core element in the construction of strategic narratives about development and modernisation, the symbolic appropriation of women's bodies by development policy and how the regimes of pity have been historically set around gender. In so doing, it discusses issues such as the representation of reproductive rights and masculinity in the presentation of development policy to the public and how modernity has been used to advance further restrictive policies towards women.

Seminar: The Sex Purchase Ban in Sweden and Norway: evaluating law-in-action
May-Len Skilbrei,
University of Oslo, Norway.
Date : Friday September 11th
Venue : Room THB1001, First Floor, Hardiman Research Building, NUI Galway
11.00 - 12.30
Abstract
Much is said about the unilateral sex purchase ban in Sweden and Norway - called the Swedish or Nordic model - in debates on prostitution policies elsewhere. Claims about the laws made in these debates make it necessary to critically assess the evidence of their effects, and to understand how they operate in a larger context where social welfare provisions and other sets of legal and administrative instruments also apply.
In her talk, Skilbrei goes beyond the ideological arguments and pragmatic reasoning behind the Sex Purchase Act in both countries, to explore how the Acts are argued for and put to work today. She argues that the explicit intentions behind the acts are counteracted by how their implementation works in practice and that they have been repurposed to meet new goals. Both these aspects of prostitution law-in-action need to be considered in debates over whether or not to 'export' similar Acts to new contexts.
Biography
Professor May-Len Skilbrei, Department of Criminology and Sociology of Law, University of Oslo researches prostitution and prostitution policies, labour and migration. In the last decade, her research has dealt mainly with human trafficking and prostitution policies in the Nordic countries. She published a book (Ashgate 2013) on prostitution policies in the Nordic countries with Charlotta Holmström. She is Vice Chair of the European network of prostitution scholars, COST Action "Comparing European Prostitution Policies: Understanding Scales and Cultures of Governance (ProsPol)", and is as co-editor of the Routledge book series Interdisciplinary Studies in Sex for Sale.
This seminar launches the first all-Ireland network for researchers critically engaged in the area of commercial sex and its attendant politics. A further one-day series of workshops will be held in University of Limerick on November 27th 2015. For further details contact annmarie.joyce@ul.ie

Title of Lecture: Narratives from a Nottingham council estate: A story of white working class mothers with mixed-race children
Date : 3.00 - 4.30 pm, Thursday, 12 February
Venue : B1005A (behind Starbucks, Main Building)
Abstract
This paper introduces a group of white working class women living on a council estate in the UK drawing on an ethnographic study conducted between 2005-2009, examining the impact of class inequality and a stigmatised living space in an ethnically diverse urban neighbourhood. All of the women are mothers and have mixed-race children; they reside on the St Ann’s estate in Nottingham, an inner-city neighbourhood which has been subject to poor housing, poverty, and unemployment for many generations. The women who live on this estate say they suffer from negative stereotypes and stigmatisation because of the notoriety of the estate, because they are working class and because they have had sexual relationships with black men. However, there is a sense of connectedness to the estate, and there are strong cultural meanings which are heavily influenced by the West Indian community. This paper then highlights the importance of place when focusing upon families, class inequality, and inter-cultural relationships.
