Elina Penttinen

Gender, Work & Organization > 17 > 1 > 28 - 44

Chris Steyaert

Gender, Work & Organization > 17 > 1 > 45 - 68

To develop and illustrate this argument, the garden and gardening practices of Derek Jarman are described and analysed...

Gender Logic and (Un)doing Gender at Work

Elisabeth K. Kelan

Gender, Work & Organization > 17 > 2 > 174 - 194

Doing gender is a popular concept in studies on work and organizations that is used to show how gender is constructed through interactions in organizations.

Intersections: The Simultaneity of Race, Gender and Class in Organization Studies

Evangelina Holvino

Gender, Work & Organization > 17 > 3 > 248 - 277

This article argues for a reconceptualization of the intersections of race, gender and class as simultaneous processes of identity, institutional and social practice in order to redress the lack of attention to these intersections in feminist organization studies. Grounding my argument on a brief critique of white liberal feminism from the perspective of women of colour, I examine other feminist frameworks...
