Government and organisational policies are not enough to challenge
socially constructed expectations towards gender. Arts based
methods derived from sensemaking, metaphors and storytelling can
support women in modifying behaviours triggered by gender
stereotype threat and help them cope better in the gendered
workplace. The aim of the book is to challenge the contemporary
approach of mainstreaming gender in organisations. Starting with
individuals' life stories and workplace experiences to understand
the common challenges for individuals and organisations, the
authors review how women respond to those challenges through
strategic choice, and consequences both for the individual and the
organisational impact. This book presents two types of arts
inspired workshops: sensory and metaphorical engagement as well as
storytelling theatre. Gender Bias in Organisations: From the Arts
to Individualised Coaching discusses how gender mainstreaming
initiatives have failed and proposes an individualised coaching
approach based on arts-based methodology for mediating gender
stereotype in the workplace. It will be of interest to researchers,
academics, and students in the areas of gender, work and
organisation.
