Dissertation Research: Technological Change, Gender and Class Formation

冰岛的渔业和城镇正在实现工业化。这对工作过程、家庭关系和男女角色产生了不同的影响。在这个项目中，研究人员将观察冰岛两个村庄的变化，其中一个村庄由商人精英统治并严密控制，另一个村庄由工人合作社控制。她将观察这些不同的社会和经济组织是否会影响男性和女性如何应对渔业变化造成的家庭内部紧张局势。这项研究将增加我们对技术和工业发展时期的性别和家庭关系的理解，并将有助于确定不同经济组织对这一进程的影响。

Icelandic fisheries and towns are industrializing. This has affected the work process, family relations, and the roles of men and women differentially. During this project the researcher will look at changes in two villages in Iceland, one of which has been dominated and closely controlled by a merchant elite and the other which has been controlled by a worker's cooperative. She will see if these different social and economic organizations affect how men and women respond to the tensions created within families by changes in the fishing industry. This study will increase our understanding of gender and family relations during periods of technological and industrial development and will help define the effect of different economic organizations on this process.
