    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.

    There is definitely interest.  I have not found a good textbook for my Women and Men in Business class.  I have used a sociology test (Padavic and Reskin) along with a coursepak with substantive readings from other books.

     

    I would be very interested to see what others are using.

     

    Thanks,

    Dear all,

    I have taught Women's Studies and Gender Studies at a US Business school specializing in entrepreneurship for the last 12 years. I was impressed (depressed!) by the lack of reference material about women and people of color in business, specifically about whether there were different models and modes of doing business pioneered by women and racial minorities so that female and male students could be exposed to more than just the white, male business model. 

    Not finding any suitable texts in entrepreneurship  sociology or women's studies literature, I co-authored a study on minority women entrepreneurs. It is not a textbook, but it does include substantial theoretical frameworks from both business management and sociology, and it includes interviews with minority women describing their business strategies.  Though the study is small and qualitative, it is contextualized in quantitative literature from around the world about how women spend the money they earn.

    My goal was to get women and people of color on the map so that they, too, can contribute to what students learn in the academy and become perceived as (more) normative business owners. 

    In case you are interested, below is a description and the link to the publisher and to Amazon.

    Hope this is helpful

    Best,
    Mary   

    Minority women start new businesses in the U.S. at four times the rate of non-minority men and women. Though minority women entrepreneurs in the United States are thriving, their stories are very seldom told, and few think of minority women as successful entrepreneurs. Minority Women Entrepreneurs gives voice and visibility to this group of business owners.

    The second purpose of this book is to explain what makes these women different from the standard white, male business owners with whom most people are familiar. Through in-depth interviews and firsthand accounts from minority women entrepreneurs, the authors found that minority women use their outsider status to develop socially conscious business practices that support their communities in innovative and exciting ways. They reject the idea that business values are separate from personal values, and instead balance profits with social good and environmental sustainability. This pattern is repeated in statistical evidence from around the globe: women contribute a much higher percentage of their earnings to social good than do men. But, until now, there was no clear explanation of why. Using sociological and psychological theories, the authors explain the tendency for women, especially minority women, to create socially responsible businesses. The findings in this book suggest fresh solutions to economic inequality and humanistic alternatives to exploitative business policies. Herein lays a radically new, socially integrated model that can be used by businesses everywhere.

    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.

    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.

     

    Stacy

    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 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.

    Hello all

     

    Teaches of gender and diversity in organizations should also incorporate a segment on governance/the boards running those organizations noting the lack of women in governance. We know that getting governance experience has to start in the late thirties and forties in order to acquire the "10,000 hours" necessary for appointment to the top boards.  Young women with leadership potential need to be encouraged to see this as a viable career option early in their careers.  This is an important role for educators.  There is a strong school of Women on Boards research based at the Academy. 

     

    Here is a list of five WOB books with a new one due for publication later this year called Handbook of Research on Promoting Womens Careers.

    Hi all,
    with regards to textbooks I would like to draw your attention to a very recent publication focusing on a European perspective. It is edited and written by the CEMS faculty group "gender and diversity management" (which is a network of gender and diversity scholars teaching at schools involved in the CEMS initiative). The chapters cover a broad range of topics and the textbook works very well in class!

     

    "A core text for modules in diversity management that examines concepts, research and practices from Europe and the wider world, in particular to United States, to provide approaches to diversity and inclusivity which recognize the importance of organizational and individual considerations in historical, political, social and cultural contexts"

    All the best for your teaching,
    Julia

    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.
