TRACK 1: Gender Equality and Diversity in Management (Standing Track)
Dr Beverly Dawn Metcalfe, Chairwoman, GED, EURAM ACADEMY
Submission of ‘Extended Abstracts /Working and Refereed Papers’
Deadline: 17th January 2011
Track/Programme Chairs:

• Aminu Mamman, University of Manchester,

• Jawad Syed, University of Kent,

The aim of the track is to advance contemporary thinking in the discipline of
equality anddiversity management by bringing together international scholars
with an interest indisadvantaged and marginalized groups in a European and
international setting. We areinterested in papers on equality and diversity
management from all areas of the world, butespecially in papers highlighting the
European case. Within this track, we seek to analyzevarying socio-demographic,
socio-cultural and geopolitical contexts for their implications forwork and
organization processes, including occupational segregation, work-life balance,
wagedifferentials or, more subtle exclusionary practices such as gendered
organizational cultures andthe pre-eminence of hegemonic masculinity within
organizationsInequalities are related to a myriad of difference dimensions,
including gender, race,social-class, age, disability. This difference not only
reinforces social injustice, but alsoencourages exploitation. Current debates in
the area of gender, diversity and developmentmanagement research include: social
theory and inequality, the extent to which globalization hasfacilitated the
spread of western ideas around feminism and justice, and what feminism means
indiverse social-cultural contexts, equality and diversity; the convergence of
legislative and policyapproaches to inequality internationally; and the impact
of labour market changes onemployment equality, particularly in the context of
EU enlargement.
We encourage contributions from scholars from a broad range of disciplines:
economics,management, HRM, psychology, development, public administration,
gender studies, sociology.
We welcome studies of single country and comparative research. We aim to
rejuvenate criticaldebate of the gendered, racialised and classed nature of
organization systems. We encouragefocus on private, public sector, international
organizations and NGO’s. As EURAM 2011 istaking place in Estonia, we are
especially interested in the gendered, racialised and ethnicdynamics prevalent
in transitional or/and post-socialist country contexts and have secured a SI
ofInternational Journal of Public Administration, ‘Gender, Diversity, Governance
and PublicAdministration in Transitional and Post Socialist States’. We
especially invite contemporarypapers on gender and equality in countries
including: Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland,Slovakia and Slovenia for Central
Europe; Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania for the Baltic States;Albania,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo Under UNSC 1244, TFYR
Macedonia,Montenegro, Romania and Serbia for South-East Europe; Belarus,
Moldova, Russian Federationand Ukraine for the Western CIS; Armenia, Azerbaijan
and Georgia for the Caucasus; andKazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan for Central Asia, as well asChina.
We especially welcome scholarly articles on gender, public administration,
reform andgovernance in post-socialist and transitional states. Movements from a
communist led economyto a liberal market system have had profound and impacted
the dynamics of diversity, equalityand inclusion in a myriad of ways. Social
services and public services have been withdrawn orradically altered and are
creating greater divides in everyday working conditions. We are keen toattract
either empirical papers or theoretical papers that examine new governance
regimes andpublic administration changes, new social, HRM, employment and
welfare policy agendas thattackle issues from a gender or diversity perspective.
This is an open call to ensure integrity ofhighest academic standards and we
anticipate high quality submissions for EURAM for SI.
