A Racialized Capitalism Perspective on the Work and Employment of Black and Minoritized Ethnic Workers Living With Sickle Cell Disorder
Little is known about the employment experiences of Black minoritized ethnic workers in England with sickle cell disorder (SCD). Using Satnam Virdee's concept of racialized capitalism within the context of a critical discussion of intersectionality, we argue that their experiences are usefully understood as shared occurrences of racism determined by structural conditions across three generations. Drawing on in‐depth interviews with 47 individuals…
“Doing the Right Thing” and “Making a Difference”: The Role of Personal Ethical Values in Diversity and Inclusion Consulting
This article focuses on the salience of personal ethical values for diversity work. Theory and practice of diversity management (DM) are located in a wider business ethics agenda which acknowledges the rhetorical value of the business case for diversity, but which also integrates the moral responsibilities attached to people management. Drawing on findings from a qualitative study of external diversity and inclusion (D&I) consultants in the UK, t…
Clean Break Theatre Company
Clean Break Theatre Company is a women-only theatre company that grew out of a prisoner-led drama workshop that took place between 1977–1979 in HMP Askham Grange. In addition to its considerable impact on criminalised women and public understandings of the socio-political impact of their experiences, Clean Break has had a significant but under-acknowledged impact on contemporary British theatre. We examine three areas of Clean Break's theatre mak…
Locked up and down: Incarceration, care, and art in a pandemic
There has been recent criticism of the lack of care in the UK economy, especially during the COVID‐19 pandemic, which has exacerbated inequality and disadvantage faced by those most vulnerable in society. This article focuses on the importance of care in the practices of Clean Break—an internationally recognized theater, education, and advocacy organization that puts the stories of women with experience of the criminal justice system center stage…
The gender representation gap: Implications for workplace union effectiveness
This article investigates how the gender of workplace representatives has implications for three dimensions of union effectiveness: (i) responsiveness to members, (ii) opportunity to influence management and (iii) ability to bring about change. Utilising original analysis of the 2011 Workplace Employment Relations Study, we examine three core elements of workplace employment relations processes that cut across the three dimensions: (i) workplace …
On the possibility of a disabled life in capitalist ruins: Black workers with sickle cell disorder in England
The link between workers with sickle cell disorder (SCD) and employment has until now been seen through the lens of the person's disease, not their relationship to work (paid and unpaid). Using SCD as a case study, we foreground relations of employment, setting sickle cell and work into ecological context. In 2018, two focus group discussions and 47 depth-interviews were conducted with black disabled workers living with SCD across England. The re…
Clergywomen's experience of ministry in the Church of England
The ordination of clergywomen within the Church of England in 1994, and more recently the consecration of women as bishops has generated significant public interest. This paper explores the clergywomen’s understanding of their ministry in light of these changes. This study explores the stories of twenty-one clergywomen in the Church of England who have served, or are currently serving, in stipendiary parochial ministry. Their ages range from twen…
How do we understand worker silence despite poor conditions – as the actress said to the woman bishop
This article considers the customary choice of silence over voice of two groups of UK workers – women clergy and women actors – who routinely tolerate poor quality conditions rather than express dissatisfaction. We argue that a key mediating factor is an expanded version of Hirschman’s (1970) concept of loyalty. The article considers how occupational ideologies facilitate loyalty as adaptation to disadvantage in ways that discourage voice, in fra…
Equal Opportunities
Equal opportunities (EO) is a label for policies and practices in employment based on a principle of non‐discrimination. It is commonly used in the UK, and is directly comparable to Equal Employment Opportunity in the USA, and Employment Equity in Australia. The identity groups usually covered are women, black, and minority ethnic people, disabled people, lesbian and gay people, and younger and older people (under 25 and over 45 years). The liber…
Diversity Management
Diversity management ( DM ) is the most prevalent contemporary label for organizational policy making in the equality arena. The language of DM (or managing diversity) is now commonly used to talk about issues that once would have fallen under labels such as equal opportunities ( EO ). The central tenets of DM are presented, namely the primacy of the business case, a focus on individual differences, and the need for organizational transformation.…
The Cost of a Calling? Clergywomen and Work in the Church of England
This article explores the work of clergywomen in the Church of England within an analysis of the Church as a gendered organization. We highlight the sex discrimination they often face, at the same time as satisfaction with their work and the need to follow their calling regardless of the difficulties. This is explained through an analysis of the significance of religious calling and the requirement for ‘sacrifice’ on their ability to endure their…
Work restructuring and changing craft identity: The Tale of the Disaffected Weavers (or what happens when the rug is pulled from under your feet)
This article explores the changes in worker identity that can occur during manufacturing restructuring - specifically those linked to the declining status of craft work - through an in-depth case study of Weaveco, a UK carpet manufacturer. An analysis of changes in the labour process is followed by employee reactions centred on the demise of the traditional craft identity of male carpet weavers. The voices of the weavers dramatize the tensions in…
New directions in managing women’s trade union careers: Online learning
This article is concerned with strategies for managing the careers of women who work in paid positions in the union movement. Recently there has been some debate about the positive potential offered by the use of ICTs in a variety of areas of trade union activity. We link this to debates about the role of trade union education in developing women’s careers within trade unions by exploring the experiences of participants on a recent British Trades…
Going Against the Historical Grain: Perspectives on Gendered Occupational Identity and Resistance to the Breakdown of Occupational Segregation in Two Manufacturing Firms
This article discusses a process of restructuring of working practices within two manufacturing firms with respect to its implications for gendered occupational segregation. A contextualized, historically situated analysis is presented, which is cast within debates on the nature of gendered occupational identity, equality initiatives and arenas of power and influence for women and men, within what were traditionally male‐dominated organizational …
Advancing Gender Equality: The Role of Women‐Only Trade Union Education
The need to improve the level of membership and the number of women activists has been a central feature of overall ‘renewal’ strategies of many British trade unions. Within this, equality education has been a key part of policy‐making. This research draws on detailed case studies of two trade unions and focuses on their women‐only education courses. We suggest that a greater understanding of the contribution of different types of trade union edu…
