Inclusion of persons with disabilities into projects of Czech development cooperation
Janušová, Nela ; Novotný, Josef (advisor) ; Komanická, Daniela (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of inclusion of persons with disabilities in development cooperation projects. The first part of this thesis justifies the importance of the chosen topic. Based on the sources available and their analyses, the thesis discusses concepts and approaches to the issue of inclusion of disabled people, which is also one of the declared cross-cutting principles of development cooperation. The objective of the empirical part was to find out whether and to what extent Czech non-profit organizations take into account disabled people in their projects. The empirical part uses qualitative methods of evaluation of eleven semi- structured interviews with employees of selected non-profit organizations.

The research starts from theoretical concepts of gender studies and uses discursive analysis as a method to help reveal the mechanisms of function and maintenance of a woman's last name change at marriage. Analyzing the comments in these discussions, I was primarily interested in the attitude of the website participants towards the last name as symbolic source of one aspect of identity. In the second part of my analysis, I follow up with the dynamics stemming from the direct exchange of website discussion participants with the issue of woman's last name. My research is concerned with the historic emergence of the issue of woman's last name at marriage, the gender view of Slovak and Czech legislation dealing with the woman's last name at marriage, and my own location - all of which I see as an important part of feminist research. Key words: birth name, change of (woman's)...
