Macquarie to host 2018 Gender, Work and Organisation International Interdisciplinary Conference

The 2018 Gender, Work and Organisation 10th Biennial International Interdisciplinary Conference will be hosted in Sydney by Macquarie. The conference, organised primarily as a series of streams, will provide an international forum for debate and analysis of contemporary debates affecting gender studies. Expressions of interest for the role of stream convenors at the conference and proposals for stream topics are invited. 

Stream convenors are responsible for:

  • drafting a call for papers for their stream.
  • generating publicity for their call by using their own as well as the GWO networks.
  • refereeing and then selecting papers for inclusion within their stream.
  • attending GWO2018 and co-ordinating the stream during the conference itself.
  • editing a special issue of the journal if such is agreed by the editorial team.

Streams for the 2018 event would be particularly welcome in the following areas: Indigenous Australians, gender and employment; gender, class and race; work and organisation theory, production/reproduction of organising, knowledge in organisations; critical studies of diversity; feminist ecology and organisation; alternative modes of working; gendered organisation/disorganisation; embodiment/disembodiment; identity and consumption; spirituality and religion in organisations; gender, ethics and corporate organising; feminism at work/feminist organisations; gender and entrepreneurship; gender and globalisation; post-colonialism and gender; careers; sexualities and organisation; global organisational politics; men and masculinities; sexuality at work; methodology; gender and technologies; leadership and gender; work/life balance; unequal pay; social exclusion; gender and disability; service work; public management and organisations; professionalism; intimacy at work; migration, gender and organising; affect, aesthetics and gendering; feminist politics; gendered cultures, discrimination and inequality in organisations.
