Does gender shape how a meeting is run and whose voices are heard? The Silent Sex shows how the gender composition and rules of a deliberative body dramatically affect who speaks, how the group interacts, the kinds of issues the group takes up, whose voices prevail, and what the group ultimately decides. It argues that efforts to improve the representation of women will fall short unless they address institutional rules that impede women's voices.Using groundbreaking experimental research supplemented with analysis of school boards, Christopher Karpowitz and Tali Mendelberg demonstrate how the effects of rules depend on women's numbers, so that small numbers are not fatal with a consensus process, but consensus is not always beneficial when there are large numbers of women. Men and women enter deliberative settings facing different expectations about their influence and authority. Karpowitz and Mendelberg reveal how the wrong institutional rules can exacerbate women's deficit of authority while the right rules can close it, and, in the process, establish more cooperative norms of group behavior and more generous policies for the disadvantaged. Rules and numbers have far-reaching implications for the representation of women and their interests.Bringing clarity and insight to one of today's most contentious debates, The Silent Sex provides important new findings on ways to bring women's voices into the conversation on matters of common concern"-- Corporate meetings Women Social participation Social interaction Social groups Social psychology SOCIAL SCIENCE / Women's Studies bisacsh Mendelberg Tali https://www.degruyter.com/openurl?genre=book&isbn=9781400852697 Uni Basel: Volltext https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/unibern/detail.action?docID=1689374 Uni Bern: Volltext https://www.degruyter.com/openurl?genre=book&isbn=9781400852697 Uni Bern: Volltext BK020053 XK020053 XK020000 De Gruyter PDA SSH eBooks De Gruyter PDA STM eBooks E-Books von 360MarcUpdates Ebook Central All Subscribed Titles PDA Package: All eBook Content, incl.
