‘I Definitely Don’t Want to Work with Seven People Who Are the Same as Me’: Gender and Senior Managers in Swedish Industrial Mining
This article focuses on gendered organizational structures in the Swedish mining industry, drawing on empirical material from interviews with 16 senior managers. Understanding these managers as occupying a position of “firstness” in an industry recognized for its economic and geopolitical value for Sweden, the article analyzes managers’ accounts of gender, exploring how they describe and make sense of gender (in)equality and gendered practices in…
Det här fina ordet omställning som kan betyda lite allt möjligt”: Diskurser i svensk gruvindustri
Tidigare forskning har visat att relationen mellan klimatomställning och gruvdrift inte är så entydig som gruvindustrins marknadsföring ofta gör gällande. I den ryms historiskt förankrade konflikter om ekologiska värden och kolonialism. Den här artikeln riktar fokus mot gruvindustrins ledare. Med stöd av ett diskursteoretiskt angreppssätt analyseras 16 semistrukturerade intervjuer med högt uppsatta ledare inom områden såsom ekonomi, teknik och hå…
Good girls? Ideal workers in online retail warehousing
Online retailing challenges the traditional male coding of warehousing. Based upon an ethnographic study at two Swedish online retail warehouses, this article seeks to understand why certain warehouses are numerically dominated by women. Employees express that men are less focused and more careless and easily bored than women, and hence not desirable for the goods‐handling work. The warehouses extend to hard‐working women driven by the shame of d…
Bortom servicefronten. E-handelsarbetets platser och ojämlikhetsmönster
The digitalization of retailing is restructuring consumption as well as retail work. Unlike front-line service work in stores, online retail work is defined by indirect service work at a distance from customers at warehouse sites. The rapid pace of change means that knowledge about online retail workplaces and its employees is still fragmentary. Empirically drawing on Swedish national statistics and an ongoing study of five online retail warehous…
There's Nothing Strange: Language Policy and Racialisation at Warehouse Workplaces
Sweden is a country where racial/ethnic power relations reflect and reinforce the marginalisation of groups of people. Research has shown that language makes part of such racialised processes through makings of the Swedish language into the norm and a consequent stigmatisation of the ‘non-Swedish’ others. This article explores the role of language in racialisation at the workplace level of online retail warehousing. The empirical material compris…
