Item “Fun,” but “scary”: an analysis of the gendered nature of alcohol culture(2019) Peckford, Kailey; Angus, FionaMany social traditions involve alcohol consumption whether it be through a glass of wine with dinner in an upper-class home, or a pint of beer in a tavern for a working-class man. In both cases, social norms indicating which drinking habits are acceptable, and which are not, are dictated by gender and social class. This qualitative research project uses a triangulation of methods to analyze the way gender dynamics operate in public drinking establishments in Edmonton, AB. The themes of gendered safety, visual culture, and hook-up culture are explored through this analysis.Item The impact of hegemonic masculinity on Fort McMurray, Alberta(2019) Fortier, Rebekah; Angus, FionaThis essay discusses the impact hegemonic masculinity plays in the presence of the oil sands in Fort McMurray, Alberta. It investigates the ways in which hegemonic masculinity is shaped and maintained by the workplace, how hegemonic masculinity shapes a sense of “community” in towns surrounding the oil sands, and the ways in which hegemonic masculinity impacts the management, safety, and functioning of the workplace and community itself. Originally written for an upper-level sociology course at MacEwan University, this work appears in an open textbook entitled Navigating an Undergraduate Degree in the Social Sciences: Tips and Strategies as a sample paper in Appendix 1.
