Gender mainstreaming is portrayed as the next step in the global gender equality landscape and has been widely adopted internationally in a variety of governments and political organisations. However, the radical potential of gender mainstreaming to transform organisations has not been fulfilled. In this article, I explore three paradoxes which are inherent in the intent, implementation and institutionalisation of gender mainstreaming. I argue that we cannot fully understand these global paradoxes without a better understanding of local experiences which underpin them in the everyday working lives of those people involved in advocating gender mainstreaming. Using results from an institutional ethnography of the implementation of the Gender Equality Duty by gender mainstreaming advocates in the Scottish Executive, I show that bureaucratic practices, fossilised norms and the continued reliance on soft measures to promote mainstreaming are reflections at the local level of barriers to the advancement of global gender mainstreaming. By taking seriously the local practices and knowledge of those who do gender mainstreaming, we can reflect on the inherent tensions within gender mainstreaming that prohibit its ability to truly transform the gender landscape at both the local and global level.

“…(Runyan and Peterson 1991: 89) Peterson's work reminds us that a central mechanism of capitalism, so clearly evident in contemporary practices of globalization and the (re)production of hegemony, is 'forgetting' (Joseph 2002: 268). Sifting through seemingly rock solid ideologies of state securitizing practices in western modernity, Peterson exposes the obscured but hugely effective practices of 'forgetting' the human costs of our unreflective reproduction of categories of domination (Peterson 1992b: 38;Zalewski 2005). As her collaborators, teachers and students attest, Peterson strives to 'walk her talk' by challenging these dominations personally and politically.…”

“…Feminist IR scholars encourage us to adopt a "feminist curiosity" (Enloe, 2004, p. 3), investigate "sites of everyday life" (Enloe, 2004, p. 5), challenge disciplinary practices that seek to shape who and how we study (Doty, 2001;Sylvester, 2009;Zalewski, 2006), and regard "theorising as a way of life, a form of life, something we all do, every day, all the time" (Zalewski, 1996, p. 346). The feminist IR literature reminds us to ask: For whom is this theory (Zalewski, 1996)?…”

We are the Process: Reflections on the Underestimation of Power in Students as Partners in Practice

The concept of Students as Partners (SaP) has much merit; however, further reflection on the power embedded in daily SaP processes and relationships is needed. In this article, we use the SaP model articulated by Healey, Flint, and Harrington (2014) to examine three reflections of SaP in practice from two different Canadian post-secondary contexts. Informed by critical pedagogical theory and feminist theory, we highlight sites of harmony and dissonance between the Healey, Flint, and Harrington (2014) model (theory) and our reflections (practice) and highlight embedded power relations in SaP processes and practices. We argue that there is often an underestimation of power in SaP.
