“Die tampon gaf me vrijheid”. Participatief verzamelde verhalen en voorwerpen over menstruatiecultuur
No full textDe persoonlijke en praktische omgang met menstruatie was lange tijd onzichtbaar. Dit komt zelfs tot uitdrukking in museumcollecties. Daarom zette het Nederlands Openluchtmuseum een participatief verzamelproject op om voorwerpen en ervaringsverhalen te verzamelen. Dit resulteerde in 162 verhalen over vele aspecten van de omgang met menstruatie in het dagelijks leven. Ook werden 159 relevante voorwerpen toegevoegd aan de rijkscollectie en 183 foto’s en andere documentatie aan de documentatiecollectie van het Nederlands Openluchtmuseum. Samen geven ze een goed beeld van de menstruatiecultuur in Nederland van ongeveer 1950 tot nu
Fifty Key Personal Notes on Maria Shevtsova
No full textIn 2005, Maria Shevtsova Shomit Mitter published a book that became an essential reference in the study and historicization of twentieth-century mise-en-scène: Fifty Key Theatre Directors (Routledge). The current collection of personal notes pays homage to that title
Outsiders in the moral domain: The dark core of personality and moral foundations
No full textThis study is about the relationship between the general dark triad factor and the five moral foundations (care/harm, fairness/reciprocity, ingroup/loyalty, respect/authority, and purity/sanctity). Participants (N = 723) provided ratings on the Dirty Dozen Dark Triad (DDDT) and on the Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ).. A structural validity and reliability test was carried out for the constructs and a structural equation was modeled, relating the general dark triad factor to the moral foundations. The results gave adequate fits for the dark triad, for moral foundations, and for the integrated model, obtaining negative and significant relationships between the general dark triad factor and all of the five moral foundations. It is concluded that there is a negative and statistically significant correlation between each of the moral foundations and the general dark triad factor
Using Reinforcer Sensitivity Theory to predict difficulties in emotional regulation: Data from students in Mexico and the US
No full textThe present study assessed the capacity of revised reinforcement sensitivity theory (r-RST) to predict difficulties in emotional regulation (DER), and in both internalized and externalized anger difficulties. Participants were college students (N = 705) from Mexico and from the US. Regression analyses showed that both the behavior inhibition system (BIS) and impulsivity (IMP) are direct and significant predictors of all three dependent variables, in both samples. Reward interest is an inverse and statistically significant predictor of both internalized and externalized aggression. Although both samples share a common footing regarding the importance of BIS and IMP as predictors of the dependent variables, protection variables differed between the samples. The results of the study suggest that elements belonging to the sensitivity to punishment and sensitivity to reward domains interact to generate DER. Finally, the results suggest that personality theories derived from basic neurobiological processes are not exempt from cultural variations.
Self-presentation of extraversion shifts all the Big Five personality traits in a socially desirable direction
No full textThe internalization of self-presentation (IOSP; Tice, 1992) is a phenomenon where individuals internalize presented traits (e.g., extraversion) and shift the level of their traits in the presented direction. While IOSP predicts self-concept shifts only in the presented traits, this pre-registered study examined whether self-concepts of non-presented traits also shift in socially desirable directions. Based on statistical power analyses, 89 Japanese undergraduate students were recruited. They completed measures of the Big Five personality traits at two time points: 7–10 days prior to and immediately following a task where they wrote a self-introduction designed to convey an extraverted impression. Paired t-tests revealed shifts in all the Big Five traits in the predicted socially desirable directions (Cohen\u27s |dz| = .29–.36). These findings suggest that self-presentation of extraversion influences the self-concept of both presented and non-presented traits, challenging the current understanding of IOSP. Possible mechanisms underlying this phenomenon and implications for future research on personality change are discussed
Design Thinking, social entrepreneurship and cross-cultural dialogue: A case study of a trinational virtual exchange
No full textThis practice report explores the integration of Design Thinking (DT) into virtual exchange (VE) projects to enhance students’ engagement with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Despite increasing interest in VE and SDGs, there is a lack of research on effective DT practices in VE contexts. This paper fills this gap by identifying best practices: integrating intercultural dialogue principles, fostering multicultural collaboration, and assigning coaches to student teams. These strategies were implemented in a VE involving three institutions across the Middle East, North Africa, and the U.S. Results from both a quantitative survey and qualitative reflections indicate that the combination of DT, intercultural dialogue, and effective coaching not only facilitated students’ understanding and engagement with global issues related to SDGs but also enhanced their professional skills such as creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. This paper contributes best practices for educators aiming to leverage DT for SDGs in VE settings.

"Een flinke Vlaamsche en liberale vrouw in Molenbeek." De vergeten erfenis van Marie Stijns-Van Nieuwenhove (1855-1935)
No full textNa een loopbaan van bijna vijftig jaar in dienst van het gemeentelijk onderwijs, legde Marie Stijns in 1921 in Sint-Jans-Molenbeek als een van de eerste vrouwen in België de eed af als gemeenteraadslid. Dit artikel reconstrueert haar parcours en werpt nieuw licht op de vergeten erfenis van een Vlaamsgezind en sociaal bewogen liberalisme in deze arme Brusselse voorstad tijdens de eerste helft van de twintigste eeuw
Liberale vrouwen en genderquota in Vlaanderen en Brussel (1980-2025)
No full textAan de hand van oral history belicht dit onderzoek de complexe houding van liberale vrouwen in Vlaanderen en Brussel sinds 1980 door de uiteenlopende standpunten van vier vrouwelijke politici die een actieve rol hebben gespeeld in de liberale vrouwenbeweging onder de loep te nemen: Annemie Neyts, Marleen Vanderpoorten, Iris Van Riet en Khadija Zamouri
Time and The Diary in Captivity, a Case Study: The Diary of Fela Szeps (1942-1944)
No full textWhen the diarist is free from imminent danger, and has reasonable flexibility in managing a daily routine, clock-and-calendar time helps in organizing the individual’s chosen social roles and responsibilities as well as their private interests, all of which are the building blocks of personal identity. Daily objective time is not bestowed as such with a symbolic meaning but is taken for granted as a point of reference.
In concentration camps, gulags, and prisons, freedom of movement and choice—contact with the outside world, access to information, interactions with others, quality of food and hygiene, privacy—are controlled by the captors. Hence, the inmate’s time and space perception are transformed.
As a literary genre, the diary chains subjective time in cages of objective time, and the two are in a constant state of collision. In this article I analyze the vicissitudes in time perception and a personal modification of public spaces in a diary written by 24-year-old Warsaw University student Fela Szeps, (1918–1945), from the Polish town of Dąbrowa Górnicza. She kept a clandestine diary between April 1942 and November 1944 in the Grünberg forced-labor camp in Silesia, Poland.
Coming Out as a Secular Rite of Passage – a Lived Experience Study Based on Diary Narratives of the Polish LGBTQ+ Community
No full textIn the article I examine whether an act of coming out of an LGBT+ person can be perceived as an existencial equvalent of a religious rite of passage. Paper contains an analysis of fragments of diaries from the collective volume All the Strength I Draw for My Life. Testimonies, accounts, diaries of LGBTQ + people, composed of texts sent to a diary competition organized by the Institute of Applied Social Sciences of the University of Warsaw. To conceptualize the term ‘rite of passage’, I adopt a methodological framework derived from the phenomenology of religion and the theory of Mircea Eliade. A qualitative narrative analysis of the lived experience is conducted in the phenomenological approach to show the similarities between the meaning structures of the coming out act and the phenomenon of initiation. In conclusions drawn from the juxtaposition I prove the point that in researching modern spirituality it is useful to abandon the binary opposition between the sacred and the profane in order to provide a reliable description of the phenomena
