Studying age, 'race' and gender
This paper is based on reflections concerning the initial stages of a research project focusing on women, 'race' and later life. The paper describes some of the aims behind the project and discusses some of the immediate methodological issues which have arisen.

Gender and ethnicity at the millennium
Three decades of feminist academic work have led to claims about its maturity and "coming of age". This article offers a critical evaluation of feminism's success, particularly in the context of "race" and ethnicity awareness.

However, the global hegemony of Western feminism means t…

Based on a national survey of all Careers Services conducted in 1987, this paper explores the significance afforded to gender discrimination and the nature and content of equal opportunities policies designed to counter it. It draws attention to the differe…
