“…Studies have also looked at the gender differentiated success in school (das Dores Guerreiro, Caetano, and Rodrigues 2014;Carvalho 2015;Moguerou and Santelli 2015;Ellis 2017), choice of majors as well as career expectations (Erwin 1997;Fathi 2018) and examined them in the light of family and educational institutions as agents of 'gender socialisation' (Foroutan 2018).…”

Gender inequality in education has been well documented in the literature, in light of family and school socialization. We build on this literature and focus from a micro sociological perspective on the emergence of 'critical reflexivity' in the specific case of a group of university scholarship students in Lebanon. Through observations and in-depth interviews, we identify gender differentiated prior dispositions that influence university experiences of those students and their career plans and demonstrate that critical reflexivity involves a process of negotiation between two fields. Family control was associated with success in studies at the expense of the social aspects of university.Gendered norms also reflected on their choices of major. Furthermore, in examining cases of emergence of reflexivity, we find that prior socialization experiences, namely degree of social conservatism, experience of change as well as social heterogeneity, influence the development of 'critical reflexivity' as students encountered a new social environment.

“…There have also been Norwegian studies of children's more general conceptions of family (Haldar and Waerdahl 2009;Waerdahl and Haldar 2013). In a broader context, some studies rely on children's own perspectives through interviews and texts exploring the gendered role of parents, norms of gendered parenthood and family life in general Eld en 2016;Guerreiro, Caetano, and Rodrigues 2014;Wardman et al 2013). Our analysis also uses texts written by children, but takes a slightly different perspective, not focusing on children's own cultures or children's conceptions about parents.…”

This article examines how different Norwegian families display family and parenthood ideals in one of the most genderequal countries in the world. Empirically, the article is based on an ethnographic material in the shape of so-called 'travel diaries'. The diaries are written by Norwegian school children and their parents with the purpose of describing how everyday family life unfolds. The diaries are analysed within a discursive framework and by the use of analytical concepts like display, performativity, text circulation, repetition, habit etc. We discuss how gendered family display are spatially and temporally organized. We argue that normative standards and cultural codes for what seems to be a 'good family life' are created and maintained by a kind of social circulation, and that the family is a place where gender relations confirm existing welfare state policy. Gender equality and reciprocity are central values doing parenthood, and further the family is a transmission-belt between private and public gendered subject positions. By displaying family in a text-correspondence, this article also reveals how mothers participate in the construction of modern fatherhood as an intimate caregiver.
