The abandonment of survivors by the state increased precarity and intensified prepandemic slow violence, while heightened uncertainty also intensified survivors' psychological distress. The structural violence experienced during the pandemic is viewed as part of the continuum of violence against forced migrants, resulting in gendered harm.

Summary: This paper examined how elite women coaches of national football teams negotiate and resist the male-dominated power structures in football by engaging in problematization, public truth telling/parrhesia, self-transformation, and creating alternative discourses about gender and football. The findings suggest that women coaches challenge the notion that men are more knowledgeable about women's football and demonstrate their own expertise and experience in the field, highlighting the lack of gender equality in leadership roles within (sport) organizations.

Summary: This article explores senior leaders' perceptions of workplace gender equality in Australia's public sector using system justification theory. The findings reveal that male and female leaders tend to rate the gender equality climate in their agencies more positively compared to lower-level staff, with male leaders showing a strong propensity to defend the status quo. These findings question the effectiveness of change strategies relying on leadership and buy-in from those benefiting from existing arrangements, and challenge the dominant organizational approaches that position senior leaders as effective change agents for gender equality.

Summary: This article presents a new approach to theorize about hermeneutical injustice and argues against the dominant view that focuses on a lack of hermeneutical resources. Instead, it suggests that hermeneutical injustice can also occur when accurate resources are crowded out or preempted by distorting and oppressive concepts. The author proposes a broader analysis that takes into consideration the dynamic relationship between hermeneutical resources and the social and political contexts in which they are implemented.

Summary: Research on political representation shows that historically marginalized groups in political office can impact policies and behaviors. However, the relationship between group identity and representation is complex, as individuals hold multiple identities with varying meanings in different political contexts. Shared identity does influence perceptions of representation, but this impact varies in ways that are both raced and gendered.
