Greetings! I am currently working on this article for my sociology class. Here is a shorthand bibliography of some of the sources I will be using for this assignment:

How research ethics can impact research on feminism and international relations.^[1]

A comparison between feminists and constructivists and how the two ideals can be used hand in hand to turn an ideology into a reality.^[2]

Feminist critiques of globalization in order to help the feminist voice in global economics.^[3]

These are just a handful of the articles I will be using for editing this page. Thank you for reading and have a great night!

Great Job editing this article! The info is nicely arranged, the resources are inputted well and the content is thorough. You can expand on the Influence in Politics section, such as how a feminist-constructivist would approach different political issues, and more examples would be helpful.

Greetings,

Sorry I've added my information so late. I've been dealing with a family issue and it really absorbed a lot of my time. I've most recently added some information from Locher and Prügl's academic journal on how feminism is highly critical of constructivism. I also added another citation with both authors. However, I noticed that there was a similar citation to mine and I was wondering which one I should edit. Thank you for reading and have a great day.

Hello everyone,

I've added a couple of headings to better organize the article and started to take the article more into the political aspect of the subject. I feel a lot more comfortable with the direction I'm taking my article in now. Thank you for reading thus far.

Sincerely,

Hey everyone,

Today I added a new section titled Influence on Research as well as added a plethora of information to that. Thank you.

Hello there, your article looks good and I look forward to others adding to the concept of feminist constructivism. I would like to see a brief history of the emergence of the theory as the page leaves it vague to the reader. Perhaps I will add it as I am working on the same theory in my international politics course. Cheers Dms152 (talk) 21:52, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sseamusobry! The following will be my review of your edits thus far. Your article has some great content, and is quite well-written, but there is just some room for improvement in your formatting/grammar, as well as room for expanding some of the ideas you've already put forth. Hopefully my comments are helpful! :)

• "It is the communication between two postcolonial theories; feminism and constructivism, and how they both share similar key ideas in creating gender equality globally"-- This sentence could be a little more concise. I think saying that it is "the communication" between two theories makes sense in an academic setting, but is not as effective in this less formal setting.
• I like that you've gone on to explain this idea of communicating theories, but I'm still unsure if it's the best way to describe how they interact? Perhaps 'relationship' would be a better word
• The title headings for each section should have the correct letters capitalized-- i.e "Influence in leadership" to "Influence in Leadership", this just makes the sections look a little more 'put together' and professional.
• For headings, I would suggest using 'on' rather than 'in'-- i.e. "Influence on Leadership", but you might even want to skip using the first two words anyways, and reduce the heading to just "Leadership" or "Leadership and Feminist Constructivism"
• Under your "Influence on politics" section, I think this sentence contains a lot of information that could be condensed into two really concise sentences: "Major critiques in the feminist presence of global politics have not received as much attention in the media, due to more attention being given to the arguments of environmentalists and labor issues at anti-trade rallies, as opposed to those of feminist ideologies". I would start by stating why they haven't received as much attention, and then discuss how other ideologies typically take precedence over feminist theories.
• The "Influence on politics" section does not have very much politically-relevant info, and seems like just two sentences of unrelated information. I understand the link between the two sentences, but that's only because I have a background in political science.
• "Influence on research" section needs to be reworked more than the past sections. Careless grammar mistakes, sentences too long, only one source, use of jargon (an online thesaurus is really helpful when you need a clearer word for phrases like 'measuring out')

Hello,

I cleaned up the page a bit after a hiatus that admittedly took way too long. I love the fact that this page got some traction after I initially discovered it back in 2016 and that it's especially now getting some veteran eyes working on it as well. I originally worked on it for a class project and although some of the points may not be completely concise, I do believe the information given does maintain the academic integrity of Wikipedia itself. I will be returning to it soon armed with some new information from Stanford's own Dr. Cecilia Ridgeway.

Hello everyone,

II’m currently working on this article as part of my Gender Studies class assignment. While I believe the article is already in a strong position, I find it leans heavily toward criticism without exploring potential middle-ground perspectives. To address this, I’d like to introduce the norm literature in constructive theory particularly at the level of international organizations, such as the process of gender mainstreaming. I believe incorporating these aspects will provide readers with concrete examples of how feminist constructivism operates in practice and how it connects feminist and constructivist ideas more cohesively.

Here are some references I plan to use to support this addition:

• Çağlar, G. (2018). Constructivist thought in feminist IPE: Tracking gender norms. In Handbook on the international political economy of gender (pp. 73-85). Edward Elgar Publishing.
• True, J. (2013). Feminist problems with international norms: Gender mainstreaming in global governance. In Feminism and International Relations (pp. 73-88). Routledge.
• Prügl, E. (2004). International institutions and feminist politics. The Brown Journal of World Affairs, 10(2), 69-84.
• Carpenter, C. R. (2003). Stirring gender into the mainstream: Constructivism, feminism, and the uses of IR theory.International Studies Review, 5(2), 297-302.
• True, J. (2019). Gender research and the study of institutional transfer and norm transmission. In Gender Innovation in Political Science: New Norms, New Knowledge (pp. 135-152).

I'm looking forward to hear your thoughts and comments. Have a nice day! Sstunali (talk) 22:45, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
