Just a few more weeks to sign up to the exciting Gender, Work & Organization virtual conference –<\/strong>Transforming Contexts, Transforming Selves: Gender in New Times.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Launched in 1994, Gender, Work & Organization was the first journal to provide an arena dedicated to debate and analysis of gender relations, the organisation of gender and the gendering of organisations. The Gender, Work & Organization conference provides an international forum for analysis of contemporary debates affecting gender studies.<\/p>\n

The GWO conference was originally scheduled to take place in June 2020 in conventional face-to-face mode but due to the Covid-19 pandemic we had to cancel the event.<\/p>\n

This summer, we are relaunching the Gender, Work & Organisation 11th biennial international interdisciplinary conference as a virtual event, and we are delighted to invite you to what will be a \u2018first\u2019 for Gender, Work & Organisation.<\/p>\n

This will be held virtually via Kent Business School<\/a>\u00a0on 30 June \u2013 2 July 2021. The Conference is organised by the University of Kent\u2019s\u00a0Professor Patricia Lewis<\/a>\u00a0and Professor Ruth Simpson of Brunel University London.<\/p>\n

Keynote speakers at the event include:<\/p>\n

Whatever Happened to Race in Organisational studies? <\/em><\/strong>Professor Stella Nkomo, <\/strong>Department of Human Resource Management in the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences at the University of Pretoria.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professor Nkomo examines explicit and benign efforts to erase \u2018race\u2019 in management and organisation studies which have failed to disrupt its continuing significance.<\/p>\n

Viral Masculinity and New Populisms: A Pandemic Approach to Identity<\/em>. Professor<\/b>\u00a0<\/b>Karen Lee Ashcraft, Professor of Organizational Communication at the University of Colorado Boulder.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aggrieved masculinity is going viral and global under the cover of populism. Ashcraft sheds light on how masculinity delivers a crucial yet overlooked form of identity politics, one that helps it retain its generic, unmarked status as \u201cthe people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Transforming selves in troubled times: Challenging degraded, deranged and debilitating\u00a0 masculinities <\/strong>in the age of a \u2018post-truth\u2019 return to misogyny, nationalism, and racism. <\/strong><\/em>Professor David Knights,\u00a0 Lancaster University Management School and Oxford Brookes Business School.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the era of ‘post truth’, Knights delves into the contemporary backlash against the neo-liberal consensus in Western politics, especially its anti-immigration manifestation and assesses a link between relative deprivation and the intensification of an aggressive masculine.<\/p>\n

A new normal? \u2018Post-gay\u2019 sexualities in and outside the workplace. <\/strong><\/em>Professor Nick Rumens, Business and Management, Oxford Brookes University.<\/b><\/p>\n

Professor Rumens explores a knowledge gap in organisation studies regarding how post-gay sexualities are discursively constituted and organised in the workplace. Sexualities studies research on post-gay sexualities, indicates that lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT+) identity categories are increasingly irrelevant as core identities.<\/p>\n

Streams at the event include: Gender and Entrepreneurship; Inequalities and Discrimination in the Public Sector; Technology, Gender and Working Life, The Afterlife of Lean-In: Neoliberal Feminism and the Ideal of Work-Family Balanc<\/em>e and many more.<\/p>\n
