Postfeminist claims and lived rural realities
Purpose This paper aims to scrutinise postfeminist claims about gender progressiveness and entrepreneurial equality through exploring the lived realities of copreneurs on green care farms. Through applying a processual approach to gendering and entrepreneuring, we analyse how gendering is manifested, to what extent and how the ongoing gendering tinkers, tailors or transforms traditional gendering, as well as the discrepancies between post-feminis…
Paying lip service to gender inequality – EU rural development policy in Sweden
While research has pointed to the lack of gender mainstreaming in rural and agricultural policy, how rural policy determines what is seen as problems of gender inequality in the first place and how it constructs men and women in relation to rural development remains unexplored. In this article we perform an in-depth analysis of how rural policy constructs gender inequality problems and gendered subjects. We employ the 'What's the problem represen…
Conceptualising feminist resistance in the postfeminist terrain
Purpose In this paper, women entrepreneurs are seen as leaders and women leaders as entrepreneurial, making both groups an easy target of postfeminist expectations, governed by calls to embody the entrepreneurial self. Acknowledging that the entrepreneurial self has its roots in the universal, rational and autonomous subject, which was shaped in a male form during the Enlightenment, the purpose of this study is to conceptualise feminist resistanc…
Working from the heart – cultivating feminist care ethics through care farming in Sweden
In this paper we explore why and how women and men farmers carry out care farming, paying attention to farming being gendered. We engage in geographical research on feminist care ethics to understand care farming by considering the people-place relationships cultivated. We draw on post-structural feminist understandings of gendered farm subjectivities, thereby exploring the emergence of new gender subjectivities. The paper fills research gaps on …
Contextualising the coevolution of (dis)trust and control – a longitudinal case study of a public market
Research into the dynamics of trust–control is still inconclusive. In this paper, we offer an in-depth understanding of how (dis)trust and control coevolve as embedded in multiple dimensions of context. The paper focuses on public markets, a context which is underrepresented in extant studies on trust and control. Our analysis is based on a longitudinal case study of interorganisational relationships (IOR) between boundary spanners representing p…
Women's entrepreneurship, neoliberalism and economic justice in the postfeminist era
Since the early 1990s, there has been investment in women's entrepreneurship policy (WEP) in Sweden, which continued until 2015. During the same period, Sweden assumed neoliberal policies that profoundly changed the position of women within the world of work and business. The goals for WEP changed as a result, from entrepreneurship as a way to create a more equal society, to the goal of unleashing women's entrepreneurial potential so they can con…
Towards a gender-aware understanding of innovation
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to discuss the theory of gender bias in innovation studies, to illustrate the gender bias of innovation studies by using empirical means and to suggest what is needed to reduce such bias. Previous studies on innovation have primarily focussed on male-dominated industries. These studies have been biased and hence unable to capture the range of innovations covered by theoretical definitions. Design/methodology…
Resilient gender order in entrepreneurship
Purpose – The purpose of this article is to use quantitative empirical data to analyse the degree of resilience, as well as change or reproduction of the gender order, in the era of New Public Management. The propositions are constructed based on liberal- and socialist-feminist perspectives, and discussed in light of the empirical results. Design/methodology/approach – We report from a longitudinal quantitative study of female-dominated welfare i…
Studies on women's entrepreneurship from Nordic countries and beyond
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to direct attention to recent research on women's entrepreneurship, focusing on Nordic countries. Design/methodology/approach The paper encourages research that investigates how context, at the micro, meso and macro level, is related to women's entrepreneurship, and acknowledges that gender is socially constructed. Findings This paper finds evidence that recent calls for new directions in women's entrepreneurs…
Masculinisation of the public sector
Purpose The paper aims to explore the consequences of new public management (NPM) inspired reforms in general and outsourcing of traditional public sector responsibilities in Sweden to private organizations in particular. At centre stage are the roles of entrepreneurs, women-owned small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and socially constructed paradigms of gender in this process. The paper's aim is to explore, through a local-level case study, the c…
Cooperation Against All Odds
This article takes an empirical point of departure in a longitudinal study in Tanzania that focuses on the trust formation process in its 'bare' form, i.e. in a context where formal institutions are of little help in curbing opportunistic behaviour. The study's framework suggests a knowledge-based view of trust where the interplay between an individual's subjective knowledge or 'good reasons' for trusting others and inclination to take a 'leap of…
