- How do we portray women in political propaganda? The representation of the female roles in the Spanish political posterPublication . Cabezon, Marta Seijas; Ferreira, Célia Cristina Correia; Barreto, Luísa Maria PiresThis project will analyze how women are represented in political posters in Spain. We’ll take a look at the way they were depicted in the Republic, throughout the Spanish civil war, Franco’s dictatorship, and democracy looking at posters, and how the social-political design has changed since then in Spain. It will be a study about the correlation between all the periods to observe how the design has changed. What stereotypes of women are used now versus the ones that were used back then? Which ones have changed? Which ones have stayed the same?
- Understanding students' future intention to engage in sustainability accounting: the case of Malaysia and the PhilippinesPublication . Eugénio, Teresa; Carreira, Pedro; Miettinen, Nina; Lourenço, Isabel Maria Estima CostaPurpose – The study investigates whether the level of sustainability concerns of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Malaysia and the Philippines is positively associated with accounting students’ intentions to engage in sustainability accounting through its effect on students’ attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control regarding environmental sustainability practices. Design/methodology/approach – This empirical study relies on a structural equation model computed using data collected through a questionnaire and data collected from the HEIs websites. Findings – The findings show that the willingness to engage in sustainability accounting is determined by students’ subjective norm and perceived behavioural control, but it is not determined by attitude regarding environmental sustainability practices. The authors also found that the greater the concern with sustainability of the HEI in which a student is enrolled, the greater his/her attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control towards environmental sustainability, and, indirectly, the greater his/her intention to engage in sustainability accounting. Originality/value – These findings add to the literature on higher education and sustainability accounting by high-lighting the importance of the HEIs sector in promoting sustainability policies and practices, in acting as role models regarding sustainability issues, and in preparing students for building a sustainable society.
