Discussion: View Thread

Dear Colleagues –

I am a recent Ph.D. graduate of the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and I am currently living in Zhuhai China. I am
looking for collaborators to work on projects focusing on China (The Peoples Republic of China) with the goal of publishing
in peer reviewed journals. I work near Macau and have access to factory workers in Guangdong province which is the area
near Hong Kong containing a large number of factories. I have more access to factory workers than I have access to white
collar workers. I also have translation services available and Research Assistant support.

I would like to find collaborators who have strong backgrounds in theory development and working on the front end of a
paper as my strengths are in data gathering and data analysis.

I am open to different types of projects but my interests are mainly in organizational behavior and cross cultural issues.

If you are interested in possible collaborations please send an email to:

Call for submissions to a Gender, Work and Organization Special Issue on
Gender, diversity and inclusion in professions and professional
organizations


The professions have historically suffered from poor records on gender,
diversity and inclusion, with many professional associations formally
excluding women well into the 20th century. Of course, over the last 30
years, in the context of broader economic, social and legislative changes
cross nationally, we have witnessed undoubted progress. Most notable, the
participation rates of both women and minority ethnic groups in
professional occupations have increased significantly in all advanced
economies. Across the globe, in certain professions, such as law or
medicine, women are now on course to reach numerical parity with their
male colleagues. Yet numerous academic studies and governmental reports
suggest that if we move on from purely quantitative indicators to consider
the terms and conditions with which women and minority ethnic
professionals experience inclusion a different picture begins to emerge.
To this effect, we encourage theoretical and empirical contributions from
a range of disciplines, including: management, sociology, social policy,
gender and racial studies, law and geography, to explore these issues
further and to map patterns of inequality, segregation and segmentation in
professions and professional organizations. The aim of this special issue
is to cross-fertilize the study of professions and professional
firms/organizations with perspectives, concepts and debates on gender,
diversity, inclusion and intersectionality. We would be interested to
receive contributions to debates on:

1)        The extent to which the boundaries, cultures and working practices
of professional organizations affect the working lives of women, ethnic
minorities and other traditionally marginalized groups of workers;
2)        How access and promotion within professions and professional
organizations create and recreate patterns of inclusion and exclusion
cross nationally;
3)        How organisational dynamics create gendered and
unequal 'opportunity structures' in terms of patterns of progression,
segregation and segmentation within professional occupations and
organizations in different national contexts;
4)        How forms of marginalization combine to shape the prospects and
lived experiences of individual professionals.
