- Undoing gender inequalities: insights from the Portuguese perspectivePublication . Schouten, Maria Johanna ChristinaIn Portugal and elsewhere in the world, the movement promoting gender equality has known advances and setbacks over the past century. While acknowledging and outlining the major favourable developments, this paper discusses mainly some tendencies in the opposite direction, in particular those that highlight and encourage, from an early age, differences between men and women, usually to the detriment of the latter. Examples in Portugal include the growing genderization of children’s toys and books (which in one case has triggered a widely-mediatized polemic in September 2017) and the importance of the colours pink and blue. After childhood, differences persist regarding choice of study, professional activities, salary and domestic responsibilities. In this respect, sociological research in Portugal has observed a backlash in the position of women, in particular as an effect of the financial and economic crisis in the period 2010-2014.

- Stress e uso do tempo no espaço domésticoPublication . Schouten, Maria Johanna ChristinaTime-related stress is a biomedical condition with potentially serious consequences for the health of a person. As stated in this chapter, which is based on an overview of relevant literature, this stress, or the feeling of being rushed, derives from a shortage of time available for the activities which should be carried out. However, the inverse situation, a superabundance of time, may also cause stress. Social and cultural circumstances are crucial for the way an individual uses and perceives the time at his or her disposal. The articulation between a paid job and responsibilities in the private or domestic sphere may lead to specific forms of stress, but sometimes have positive effects. Since the requirements of household and care tasks in general are much heavier for women than for men, they take their toll especially on the physical and mental health of women.

- Antropólogos neerlandeses e portugueses em terras de TimorPublication . Schouten, Maria Johanna ChristinaAnálise e contextualização da antropologia praticada em Timor no período 1860‐1940, principalmente por neerlandeses. Em 1859, a divisão da ilha entre portugueses e neerlandeses foi oficialmente estabelecida. Deste modo, os timorenses, conforme a sua zona de residência, foram sujeitos a influências divergentes, vindas de dois estados europeus que não se distinguiam apenas pelas suas línguas e culturas, mas também pelas suas políticas nas respetivas colónias. Estas políticas distintas refletiram-se também na antropologia praticada.
