It was observed that affluent, educated and urban respondents were more aware of healthy eating habits, while the large chunk of economically and educationally disadvantaged samples were backward in their awareness level and more seriously; such respondents were highly complacent about the healthiness of their diet. All it asks for is a need and behavior based nutrition education intervention especially in rural areas of the district. Address for correspondence: Nihar Ranjan Rout Reader in Population Studies P.

Department of Population Studies, Fakir Mohan University, Nuapadhi, Balasore, 756 020, Odisha, India Mobile: 9437271296 E-mail:niharfmu@gmail.com INTRODUCTION In most part of the developing world, involvement of women in making important household decisions is usually negligible. However, many empirical studies conducted in India suggest that in majority of the households, decision on what to be cooked for daily meals is done predominantly by daughter in laws/women (Routray et al. 2017). Thus, in a given economic structure and environmental setup, nature of food consumption will be largely controlled by the women. As such, knowledge of women about healthy food and eating practices will be a key factor in deciding the actual food consumption pattern and hence, overall health status of the family. It is well known and documented that diet and nutrition play an important role in maintaining health of individuals. As such, diet quality and dietary patterns are poor across much of the world and contribute substantially to the non-communicable disease burden (WHO 2013 cited by Arena et al. 2015). Both medical as well as socio-economic surveys all around the globe have revealed that physical inactivity and poor diet were significantly associated with poor selfreported health (Liu et al. 2017). In fact, in the words of Shelton (2005), people’s health is affected greatly by what they do and do not eat. Although researchers like McCrickerd and Forde (2016) have found that the sensory properties of foods and beverages are operational before, during and after an eating event and thus guide our preference, what we eat and what we do not is in fact, based on the decision affected by several interlinked factors. As listed by Bellisle (2005), such factors include biological determinants (hunger, appetite, and taste), economic determinants (cost, income, availability), physical determinants (access, education, an","PeriodicalId":415880,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Home and Community Science","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125145526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically the study determined: storage facilities and materials used by the women; ways they store different types of clothing articles, clothing practices. The study adopted a survey research design. The area of study was ‘Jhadol’ Tehsil of Udaipur district. A sample of 120 respondents was used for study. Questionnaire, interview and informal discussions were used as tool for data collection. Data were analyzed using frequency and percent. Findings include that clothing selection was highly influenced by socio-religious factors, sixty-three percent respondents bought clothes for themselves, and fifty-one percent purchased clothing from open air market. Tribal women were least aware of brand names. Majority of them were affected by fashion, fitting, colour and price. Iron boxes (85%), ropes string (59%) and storing in tight wrappers (64%) was used for storing purpose. Only twelve percent used mulmul fabric to wrap heavy clothes before storage and similar percent was aware about the importance of clean and dry storage areas. It is recommended that proper guidelines should be given to tribal women through workshops, training programmes to improve clothing storage practices.","PeriodicalId":415880,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Home and Community Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129162201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is an example of training that I have devised and employed in various ways and formats in my work with a range of NGOs and non-statutory organisations in the UK. I offer this overview merely to allow readers to see what gender analysis training might look like, and how it might be planned for a one day training delivery. There are multiple ways one might construct and organise gender analysis training depending on the specific needs and particular remit of a given client. Here I provide one example of such training that focuses particularly on engaging clients in reflecting on their own processes of gendering, how their own gendered positionalities and intersectional identities influence and affect their lived experiences, attitudes towards others and normative understandings of gender roles, responsibilities and, ultimately of power.","PeriodicalId":415880,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Home and Community Science","volume":"76 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120824088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I present findings from research on the translation and transfer of feminist and gender knowledges, drawing from in-depth interviews with gender trainers working in Europe and internationally across private, public and civil society contexts. I outline the use of intersectionality by trainers as a theoretical, analytical and methodological paradigm. These equality actors call for historicization, a recouping of the genealogy of intersectionality and increased attention to the interrelation of systems of power and oppression over time. I apply an emic approach to intersectionality in training scenarios. This is grounded in responsiveness to workshop participants and is supported through affective connection and participatory learning. Dialogue between intersectional subject positions, including that of the trainer, is key to processes of knowledge exchange, reflexivity and social change. Finally, I consider the implications of these insights for engaged pedagogy and transformation oriented praxis.","PeriodicalId":415880,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Home and Community Science","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117085296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After a short introduction of multispecies response-ability and period tracking apps, I pay close attention to my affective and sensory perceptions during the fieldwork. I then identify concrete practices of response-ability and acknowledge the limitations I have encountered in the field.

However to date there has been relatively little such debate pertaining specifically to constructions and experiences of situated masculinities in Bangladesh. Going some way towards filing this lacuna, in this article we explore and articulate constructions of masculinities among and within the households of construction workers in Sylhet, Bangladesh. These workers – both male, and, to an even greater extent, female workers – are particularly situated in a relatively marginal position within Bangladeshi society in terms of their socio-economic, educational and cultural capital. Based on ethnographic research carried out with 40 female construction workers and 20 male construction workers and husbands of female construction workers in Sylhet, Bangladesh, we investigate constructions of masculinities in a patriarchal context which is undergoing rapid socioeconomic transformations.","PeriodicalId":415880,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Home and Community Science","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132759445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Letter illustrates how an English feminist writer and a follower of Mary Wollstonecraft cleverly managed the paradoxes accompanying the emerging discourses of equality during the revolutionary years, which profoundly influenced the British feminism of that time. Likewise, the paper examines the way Robinson advocated for the recognition of women’s literary legacy in British history, as a strategy to counteract the repercussions of ideologies asserting women’s mental weakness. All these aspects are developed through organic methods of critical thought. This comes from the critique and perspective of a gender researcher intrigued by the way the term ‘equality’ has been used historically, and how women writers’ genealogies have functioned as a form of resistance to social and cultural practices that contributed to women’s subordination.","PeriodicalId":415880,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Home and Community Science","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134122895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
