Gender and Human Occupation
30 August 2024
Human Occupation Routledge
Schneider J, Hoshino A, Swiatek D, Liedberg GM, Björk M, Baglee H, Monzeli GA, Brown TBy the end of this chapter, the reader will be able to describe gender perspectives and concepts within historical and cultural contexts, and the relationship of those concepts to occupation and health. The reader will be able to explain factors that may impact cisgender occupational roles, habits, routines, identities, and repertoires, and discuss potential challenges related to cisgender occupational issues. The reader will be guided through an exploration of the relationship between transgender and gender-non-conforming people’s experiences beyond gender norms and explore the subsequent impact on occupation. Heteronormative standards and gender stereotypes are also discussed, in order to provide recommendations for holistic and inclusive occupational therapy. The aim of the chapter is to develop a greater understanding of the dynamic relationship between human occupation and gender and to suggest measures to provide inclusive occupational therapy for individuals who experience occupational disadvantage due to their sexuality and/or gender identity.
