We would like to draw your attention to an interesting division-crossing PDW at the Academy of Management Conference, Vancouver, 2015:
Title: Gendering Governance, Governing Gender
Sponsors: CMS, SIM, GDO.
Time: Saturday, Aug 8th 2015 1:45 PM - 3:15 PM (Pacific Time)
Place: Marriott, Shaughnessy Salon 1,2
Organisers:
- Kate Grosser, La Trobe University, Melbourne.
- Lauren McCarthy, Copenhagen Business School, Copenhagen.
Panelists:
- Marta Calás & Linda Smircich, University of Massachusetts Amherst.
- David Levy, University of Massachusetts Boston.
- Faith Wambura Ngunjiri, Concordia College.
- Charlotte M. Karam, American University of Beirut.
This PDW discusses how governance is gendered, and how gender (as in gender issues, bodies, identities, and relations) is governed. We conceive of governance as pluralistic, multi- faceted and multi-dimensional. Thus, paying attention to the interconnectedness of gender, organizations, governance and global political economy, our PDW champions interdisciplinary conversations on how governance mechanisms are gendered, producing gendered outcomes, and how gender, and gender relations, are governed through corporate, organizational and institutional structures, actors, practices and ideologies.
Given the intersections of gender, race, class and other forms of marginalization, power, difference and exclusion, the focus is not simply on those in leadership roles, but extends to global value chains and interdependencies, particularly with respect to low- wage, low-status labor, for example. We are interested in issues of participation, inclusion and voice, with respect to the power to define governance agendas and outcomes at various levels. In discussing these concerns, we are particularly focused on exploring the relationship between our own research and practice and/or activism around gender, intersectionality, inequalities and global governance, in a move to 'open governance' in the spaces and places which concern us the most.
The session will be divided into a short panelist session followed by a round of breakout discussions. Panelists and organisers will be distributed among the breakout groups as facilitators. Our aim is to get a good amount of debate, brain-storming and discussion going, in line with our aims to incorporate practice into our scholarship.
Pre-registration is required for this workshop and places are limited to facilitate better discussion and interaction. To register online, please visit
