Hello all,
In answer to Kelly's query:
Here are 2 excellent reports funded by the European Union (one in English, the other in French) which I consider excellent (and absolutely free of charge) references for teaching on gender issues.
Best regards,
Krista

Hi colleagues,
sorry for the delay in making a suggestion but I wanted to pass along another reference book that might be useful for your class Kelly. It's the Wiley Handbook of Gender, Work and Organization (2011) edited by Emma L. Jeanes, David Knights and Patricia Yancey Martin. There are excellent chapters on many topics including those on diversity and globalization as they relate to gender.
best

Hello, Stacy and all,
Thank you for the excellent suggestions. I've taught a management & gender related course since the 1980s and have experimented with a collection of readings and various texts since then.
Most recently, I've used the 5th ed. of Powell's Women and Men in Management (and before that the 4th ed. Powell & Graves text with the same title) along with a textbook by Richard T. Schaefer for a Management, Gender, and Race class. That approach is less than satisfactory, but because I work at a teaching institution with a heavy teaching load, I lack time to revise my own text, Management, Gender, and Race in the 21st Century, published by University Press of America in 2006. That text integrates material on gender, race, and ethnicity throughout.
A reference work that might interest some of you is a 3 volume set, Gender, Race, & Ethnicity in the Workforce, published by Praeger, formerly an imprint of Greenwood Publishing group. (Greenwood was absorbed by another firm a few years ago.) The 3 volume set is costly & was not intended to be a textbook, but it provides a nice overview of the issues facing women and men in the workforce and in management. You will find selections written by well-known academics and professionals who have spent their entire careers studying issues related to gender & management.
Good luck!
Sincerely,
Marge Karsten

Hi All
Kelly, thanks for starting this line of conversation. I teach a course on gender, diversity and leadership at
Simmons College. I also teach a version of this course as an elective at the Indian School of Business in
Hyderabad, India. As I was putting together my course, I too could not find one book that could serve
as the course textbook. I use a course packet of assembled readings and cases.
There are a couple of good books out there that can be used together. I am affiliated with the Center for
Gender in Organizations (CGO) here at Simmons. CGO, under the editorial guidance of Robin Ely, Erica
Foldy and Maureen Scully, put out "Reader in Gender, Work and Organization." This resource is excellent
in terms of exposure to some of the classic pieces like Kanter's "Men and Women of the Corporation" and
Lorde's "The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action." I appreciate that this book addresses
and includes several chapters on women of color (I have a chapter along with dt ogilvie, Stella Nkomo,
Ella Bell, Evangelina Holvino and Marta Calas), is clear that men have gender too (Collinson and Hearn's
chapter on masculinity) and doesn't pretend that gender is the sole domain of women and men in the USA.
This reader is really good-it is just time to give it an update (published in 2003).
There are other good books. I also like Powell and Graves' text. I also use chapters from Barbara Kellerman and Deborah Rhode's "Women & Leadership: The State of Play and Strategies for Change." Marilyn Davidson and
Ron Burke have a broad survey of women in many countries in their book "Women in Management Worldwide:
Progress and Prospects."
I'd be very interested in seeing syllabi for those who are teaching gender classes. I am also willing to share
mine.

Dear Colleagues,
I'm an I/O psychologist who has taught diversity and psych of gender courses as well as directed Women's Studies for a brief time.
The Blau et al., economics book (mentioned in another post) is excellent, but it is an economics book. I have used it with graduate students in a course on compensation.
It deals with compensation, etc., and will be helpful for people who want to understand the wage gap and other financial considerations (eg., family policy, benefit structures, etc.) as they would be seen by an economist. Although I (and I hope my students) learned a lot from this book, I would not think it would be the best choice for ONE text for a more general course about gender at work, esp for undergraduates.
Gary Powell and Laura Graves have done a nice text, "Women and Men in Management," of which I have the third edition (2003). I do not know if there is a later revision. The index lists some treatment of Black, Hispanic, and Asian women. However, I suspect the general dearth of information on women of color in this context is due to the shortage of research.

Dear Colleagues,
Our campus is interested in developing a foundational course for a minor program (Undergraduate) in Women and Gender Studies. The committee would like to build the curriculum around 7 to 10 common texts, appropriately augmented and/or interpreted by the faculty member teaching any particular section.
The burning question is, If you could suggest any one (or two) texts that address central issues of women and gender studies as it pertains (within a business curriculum), what would that be?
Happy to compile the list and repost if there is interest!
Thanks in advance.
