Hi, my name is Martha: Using names to measure and mitigate bias in generative dialogue models (2021, background): “Here, we focus only on binary gender, which is clearly an incomplete picture of the range of human self-reference (Butler, 1990; Conrod, 2017; Bjorkman, 2017; Ackerman, 2019; Conrod, 2020).”
Distributional techniques for philosophical enquiry (2012, background): “More recently, Judith Butler (1990) tried to explain how the use of certain concepts – gender, sex, desire, sexual practice – and associated notions were consolidating the dominant, binary distinction between masculinity and femininity.”
Out in the Classroom: Transgender Student Experiences at a Large Public University (2015, background): “Rooted in gender performance (Butler, 1990; West & Zimmerman, 1987), masking is a performance people utilize in situations when they perceive their identity is stigmatized or their safety is at risk (Yoshino, 2007).”
Pimping Climate Change: Richard Branson, Global Warming, and the Performance of Green Capitalism (2009, background): “This notion draws primarily on the work of Butler (1990) , whose concern has been to explain the regulation and propagation of prevailing norms of cultural identity and behavior in realms such as sexuality, class, and race.”
Researching children’s silences: Exploring the fullness of voice in childhood research (2016, background): “Charis’ performativity (Butler, 1990) of his subject positions during this interview encounter is largely reproductive but also to some extent “troubling” in that it does more than simply repeat; he is also unfixing and destabilizing his subjectivity by occupying multiple and contradictory discursiv”
Unbearable Lessons: Contesting Fat Phobia in Physical Education (2008, background): “As Butler (1993) argues in Bodies That Matter, recalling Foucault’s (1978) discussion of reverse and counter discourses in The History of Sexuality, expressions of agency are limited by the very dominant discourses and power relations that necessitate that agency.”
Working Class Masculinity: Keeping Gay Men and Lesbians out of the Workplace (2007, background): “More important, these constructions of masculinity demarcate intelligible circumscriptions of gender (Butler 1990).”
Christchurch, New Zealand (2003, background): “What materials are available placing Butler (1990), Grosz (1994), Connell (1995), and Rubin (1982) at the Journal of Gay & Lesbian Issues in Education, Vol. 1(1) 2003 http://www.haworthpress.com/store/product.asp?sku=J367 2003 by The Haworth Press, Inc.”
A Survey on Gender Bias in Natural Language Processing (2021, background): “Compared to sex, a term that solely refers to one’s set of physical and physiological characteristics such as chromosomes, gene expressions, and genitalia, gender is considered a social construct [Butler 1989; Risman 2004].”
Peer regulation of teenage sexual identities (2004, background): “Drawing on Butler (1990), Nayak and Kehily (1996, p. 218) argue that verbal abuse is a demand for attentionÐwe can therefore suggest that it is part of a claim to public spaceÐand may be a reason for the `loudness' of male sex talk as a performative style.”
