内容説明

Making Gender Work analyses both the broad economic, legal and cultural frameworks of equal opportunities and assembles first-hand accounts from pioneers in the field. This integration of academic and practical expertise represents a major contribution to the management of equal opportunities and analysis of organizations. For a growing number of people gender is their work whilst, for others, it is the reason why they get less (or more) pay, training and recognition at work. This book is a response both to the rise of jobs or careers in equal opportunities and to the conditions which make such jobs necessary. Both trends indicate that gender expertise needs to become professionalized and not remain a purely academic or analytical skill. This book indicates how those skills might be developed and the sort of broad background knowledge practitioners will need if they are to be effective change agents.

内容説明

"Making gender work" analyses both the broad economic, legal and cultural frameworks of equal opportunities and assembles first-hand accounts from pioneers in the field. This integration of academic and practical expertise represents a major contribution to the management of equal opportunities and analysis of organizations. For a growing number of people gender is their work whilst, for others, it is the reason why they get less (or more) pay, training and recognition at work. This book is a response both to the rise of jobs or careers in equal opportunities and to the conditions which make such jobs necessary. Both trends indicate that gender expertise needs to become professionalised and not remain a purely academic or analytical skill. This book indicates how those skills might be developed and the sort of broad background knowledge practitioners will need if they are to be effective change agents.
