In the modern globalized world of work, society's capitalist and
patriarchal norms perpetuate old and create new differences based
on gender, class, ethnicity, age, and other social categorizations.
This book proposes a novel conceptual framework offering
theoretical and methodological insights for thinking through the
present and future inequality challenges in the globalized world of
work and working life issues in the context of spatio-temporal
relations. Bringing together global feminist studies of
intersectionality and transnationalism, work-life research, and
studies of space, place, and identity, this edited collection
responds to the growing interest in peripheries, rurality, and
other spaces beyond the urban and business market centres. In
crossing the theoretical boundaries between intersectionality and
peripherality, this volume brings these concepts together to
identify how racism, capitalism and heteropatriarchy operate on
bodies in the name of work, particularly as expressed in precarious
labour conditions. It also advocates for transnational solidarity
as part of feminist ethics, while providing an opportunity to
reflect on ways forward for feminist intersectional studies of work
and working life, drawing on embodied relationality and a feminist
ethics of care. Working Life and Gender Inequality explores the
intersectional nature of gender, class, race and other inequalities
from a global and spatial perspective. It will be of value to
researchers, academics, students, managers, consultants, and policy
makers in the fields of organizational studies, leadership,
feminist and gender studies, working life, intersectionality and
transnational feminism.
Positionality and researcher reflexivity – how to account for
one’s subject position – remain as challenges for new
researchers. But they also remain as challenges for experienced
researchers, who are often involved in multiple research projects
simultaneously. Where Am I in the Picture? sheds light on the idea
of researcher positionality through visual methodologies,
particularly in the context of studying rurality in Canada, Sweden,
and South Africa. The book is intended for new and experienced
researchers seeking to decolonize their own perspectives in
research in the social sciences and humanities. It incorporates
photographs, drawings, and memory work to highlight the social
constructedness of what counts as rural. Drawing together
compelling narratives from researchers about their positionality in
studying rurality, the book highlights a need for greater attention
to "where we are in the picture" more broadly. It suggests that
when it comes to the rural, researchers need to rethink the
interplay of dominant images, insider and outsider perspectives,
and what this interplay means in relation to interpretation. Where
Am I in the Picture? presents a new vision of how to take into
consideration positionality in research.

This is the first book to explode the myth of Swedish gender
equality, offering both a new perspective for an international
audience, and suggesting how equality might be re-thought
generally. The authors argue that whilst gender equality in Sweden
has led to a society with increased opportunities for some, it has
also become nationalistic and builds upon heteronormative and
racial principles.

This book brings feminist theories and concepts to the sociology of
risk in an attempt to carve out a framework for intersectional risk
theories in times of ambivalence. The authors purport that risk is
pervasive in the Global North, and is fast becoming a hegemonic
governing principle. In order to understand this crucial aspect of
society, sociological risk theories and risk analysis must go
beyond power and social inequalities, to incorporate an
intersectional risk approach that takes into account gender, race
and other critical perspectives. Their proposed framework will
provide the tools to assess how risk is situated in different
configurations of power, revealing cracks and openings in the weft
of power and rethinking risk governance in contemporary society. By
utilising an intersectional and nuanced analysis, the everyday
understanding, practices and discourses of risk can be explored and
better understood. This book will be of interest to scholars and
students who value the importance of establishing interdisciplinary
networks between risk theory, sociology, politics and more in order
to study the contemporary world.
