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.
Care is a human ability we all need for growing and flourishing. It
implies considering the needs and interests of others, and the
quality of how we relate to each other is often defined by care.
While the value of care in private life is widely recognized, its
role in the public sphere is contested and subject to political
debates. In work organizations, instrumentality frequently
overrides considerations for colleagues' and co-workers'
well-being, while relationships are often sacrificed in the service
of performance and meeting organizational targets. The questions
this volume attempts to address concerns the organizational
conditions that make care flourish and how a caring organization
functions in practice. Specifically, we examine what it means to
care for each other and what enhances caring behaviours in
organizations. The volume ultimately focuses on how caring
relations can contribute to making organizations better places. In
this perspective, care involves the recognition of, and the
limitations of, work as a key aspect of personal and social
identity. Because care exceeds the sphere of individual intimacy,
the book will also centre on the necessity for building caring
institutions through a political process that considers the needs,
contributions, and prospects of many different actors. This book
aims to contribute to academic discussions on care in
organizations, care work, business and organizational ethics,
diversity, caring leadership, well-being in organizations, and
research ethics. Managers, consultants, policy-makers, and students
will find reflections about the goodness of care in organizations,
and guidance about the ethical and practical difficulties of
pursuing the project of building caring organizations.
Discussions of feminism and gender in organizations and management
studies, have, with some notable exceptions, become stuck in
something of a time-warp. This lies in stark contrast to the
developments in the fields of feminism and gender theory more
generally. Management and organization studies needs new applied
topical gender theories that challenge the limits on what can be
said about working lives in organizations. Gender and the
Organization: Women at Work in the 21st Century looks to update
management organizational studies with the recent developments in
gender theory, including theories of embodiment, affect,
materiality, identity, subjectification, recognition, and the
intertwining of political, social and the psyche. As well as
looking backwards at existing feminist and gender theory, this
exciting book also looks forward, developing an organizational
feminist theory for the twenty-first century. Exploring what
feminist ethics of an organization would look like, this volume
shows what a revivified feminist organization studies could offer
to gender theorists more generally. This book will be of interest
not only to management and organization theorists, but also more
generally to feminist and gender theorists working across the
social sciences, arts and humanities. It will appeal to
postgraduate and research students and also to established
organization and management scholars working in business schools
across the world.

Bringing together research from critical diversity studies and
organization theory, this edited collection challenges unspoken
norms and patterns of discrimination in organizational bodies. The
authors problematize the management of diversity by focusing on the
differentiations between racialized, aged, gendered and sexed
bodies. By taking a fresh approach and placing the body at the
forefront of power relations, this thought-provoking book seeks to
challenge the homogenizing and oppressive dimensions of
organizational governance, structure and culture that deny bodily
difference. An insightful read for scholars of HRM, diversity
management and organization, Diversity, Affect and Embodiment in
Organizing encourages an active approach to tackling discrimination
and recognizes the diversity of embodied lives.
