Abstract

ABSTRACT There has been increasing interest in understanding gendered social norms and how they change. This paper explores change in social norms relating to men’s participation in unpaid care work in Northern Uganda, where mixed-methods data from adults, children and adolescents was collected. Socio-cultural changes, related to a civil war and other influences, have been observed in this region. This paper finds that some men took on more responsibility for care work and described this as socially acceptable where it involved ‘masculine tools’, was perceived to be ‘modern’ or to bring financial benefits. These subtle adjustments do not cause radical change but are important because, over time, they can shift social norms in a more permanent way.

“通过分享工作，我们正在向前迈进”：乌干达北部男性参与无偿护理工作的社会规范发生变化

摘要人们对理解性别社会规范及其变化越来越感兴趣。本文探讨了乌干达北部与男性参与无偿护理工作有关的社会规范的变化，该地区收集了成人、儿童和青少年的混合方法数据。该地区出现了与内战和其他影响有关的社会文化变化。这篇论文发现，一些男性承担了更多的护理工作责任，并将其描述为社会可接受的，因为它涉及“男性工具”，被认为是“现代的”或带来经济利益。这些细微的调整不会引起根本性的变化，但很重要，因为随着时间的推移，它们可以以更持久的方式改变社会规范。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
