“…For Hawkesworth (2005), the study of gender has both substantive and methodological implications. She lays out these methodological advantages clearly in her essay on "engendering" the discipline:…”

The New Research on Gender in Political Psychology Conference brought together new and experienced teachers with interests in gender politics. The conference session “Teaching Gender throughout the Curriculum” generated a great deal of discussion concerning the pedagogical practice of gender mainstreaming. Gender mainstreaming—the integration of gendered content into courses required for a major—was recognized as one of 11 recommendations for reforming the undergraduate political science curriculum in the 1991 APSA report “Liberal Learning an The Political Science Major: A Report to the Profession” (popularly referred to as the Wahlke Report). Little information is available on the prevalence of gender courses in the undergraduate curriculum, but the data that does exist suggest such courses are uncommon (Brandes et al. 2001). We found virtually no data on the practice of gender mainstreaming in political science and little data in the way of assessing the impact of gendered content when students are exposed to it. This absence of data suggests gender mainstreaming has not emerged as a serious priority for curricular reform.

“…The interplay between formal and informal rules is also a dynamic process that changes over time. For example, feminist political scientists have pointed to the ways in which male-dominated political elites have shifted the locus of power from formal to informal mechanisms in order to counteract women's increased political access and presence (Hawkesworth, 2005).…”

“…In other words, feminist institutionalist approaches share a foundational concern in both 'the gendered character and the gendering effects' of political institutions (Mackay, 2011, p. 181;emphasis added). Gender is understood here as a constitutive element of social relations based upon perceived (socially constructed and culturally variable) differences between women and men, and as a primary way of signifying (and naturalizing) relationships of power and hierarchy (Mackay et al, 2010, p. 580; see also Scott, 1986;Hawkesworth, 2005). Gender, therefore, not only operates at the interpersonal level, but is also a feature of institutions and social structures, and a part of the symbolic realm where gender meanings are constructed (Connell, 1987;Acker, 1992).…”

“…Others point to how power in male-dominated political spaces may shift over time from formal to informal institutions, or to different institutional arenas, in order to counteract women's increased access and presence in formal decision-making sites (Hawkesworth, 2005; see also Kathlene, 1995;Puwar, 2004;Holli et al, 2006). For example, Mary Hawkesworth's (2003) study of the 103rd and 104th US Congress highlights the institutional processes and practices involved in constructing and maintaining gendered and raced institutions.…”

“…As a body of literature, FPS is characterized -at a minimum -by three key features (Driscoll and Krook 2009): expanding the definition of 'politics' to include not just formal processes related to government and elections, but also informal actions embodied in social movements and interpersonal relations (Fraser 1989;Okin 1979;Phillips 1998); incorporating 'gender' as a relational concept and an analytic category (Beckwith 2005;Hawkesworth 2005;Kulawik 2009;Lovenduski 1998;Scott 1988); and generating insights that may be used to pursue political change (Hesse-Biber and Leavy 2007;Lovenduski 1998;Waylen 2009). Institutionally focused FPS extends this work by raising fundamental questions regarding the scope and nature of the 'political'.…”
