Nytt kurstilbud i reindrift ved høgskolen i Finnmark (Studies in reindeer husbandry at the University College of Finnmark, Alta). 9. Nytt kurstilbud i reindrift ved høgskolen i Finnmark (Studies in reindeer husbandry at the University College of Finnmark, Alta). Sammendrag: Kvinnens tradisjonelle arbeidsoppgaver er lite synlige i det offisielle bildet av reindriften. Når kvinner og deres arbeidsoppgaver er lite synlige i det offisielle bilde av næringen, kan konsekvensen bli at kvinner indirekte blir definert utenfor. Kvinners usynlighet i det offisielle bilde av reindriften forsterkes ytterligere når bare 17% av driftsenhetene er registrert på kvinner. Ved å utelate viktige arbeidsoppgaver samt å fremstille reindrift som utelukkende menns arbeid, gis et skjevt bilde av reindriften. Det skjeve bildet forsterkes i tillegg når det gjentas ofte
