Title: Applying feminist deconstruction to research on business and its
environments
Date/Time: Saturday, August 7, 8:00-11:00 a.m.
Location: Queen Elizabeth Hotel, Hochelaga 6
Presenters and Facilitators: Susan S. Case, Case Western Reserve
University; Ante Glavas, University of Notre Dame; Jamie R. Hendry,
Bucknell University; Garima Sharma, Case Western Reserve University
Abstract: Research questions in the realm of business and its environments
can be enhanced by the theories and approaches of feminist research. Using
Feminist Deconstruction to revisit the questions around the relationship
of business and environment is a unique approach. Deconstruction can bring
forth the underlying assumptions, dichotomies and hierarchies implicit in
these questions. Having identified these assumptions a feminist lens can
open alternate meanings to the constructs (like responsibility, norms and
ethics) so that keeping with this year’s theme of Dare to Care, our
research questions are enriched by what Gilligan (1977) describes as an
ethic of care. In this hands-on workshop, participants will be introduced
to theories of feminist deconstruction as a tool to build knowledge. They
will then work on applying these theories to their own research projects.
In particular, we will share examples of deconstructing research questions
that focus on business and its environments. We will then work with the
participants to visit the underlying assumptions of their questions and
experiment with alternate framings using a feminist lens.
