Raising a Public Health Concern
The British From Harm to Hope drugs strategy seems limited in gender responsiveness. Evidence is presented from a West Midlands case study where a qualitative participatory methodology with thematic analysis was employed. The project was co-designed by academics, women with lived-experience and third-sector research leaders. To identify community drug and alcohol treatment issues and solutions, interviews and focus groups were conducted with fema…
Women, Addictions, Mental Health, Dishonesty, and Crime Stigma
British drug policies could underserve women with treatment needs, and this paper provides evidence that communication through the words and actions of professionals across drug and alcohol services, health and mental health, social work and the criminal justice sector can leave women feeling stigmatised and failed. Women live with the stigma of 'the lying addict'; however, documents and courtroom statements provided by professionals can misrepre…
Total Inclusivity at Work
Men and Masculinities
Transforming Managers
The connections between men and management are numerous and intense. The historical development of management, and especially management as an identifiable professional group, cannot be understood without naming most managers as men. Indeed, in the early years of the modernizationof management, the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, management was an almost exclusively male social category
Woman as Manager
Much of the women in management literature has, quite rightly, problematized women's relationship to dominant masculinist organizational practices and cultures, these debates being underpinned by extensive data revealing women's extreme numerical marginalization at senior management level across both public and private sectors. One such site where women have long been under‐represented is education management. Recent research, however, indicates …
The Mechanics of 'Failure' in Further Education
This paper explores the phenomenon of the 'failing' further education (FE) college. It does so through a detailed examination of the circumstances, mechanics and financial consequences behind one of the most prominent FE college 'failures' since incorporation of the FE sector in April 1993 - Bilston Community College. When Bilston apparently 'failed' it was castigated by the Labour government as an example of what happens when managements, govern…
The Invisible Gendered Subject
Debates as to the efficacy of a 'new gender order', a place/time where women enjoy social ascendancy having displaced men/masculinity in 'crisis', increasingly inspire both academic and more popularist writings. Whilst recognising the seductive notion of such analysis and the shifts in many women's epistemological and ontological locations, this article considers whether any celebration might be somewhat premature. For whilst profound changes app…

Examining the Crisis of Further Education
Since its incorporation in April 1993, Further Education (FE) in England and Wales has undergone a profound transformation in respect of the introduction of a 'quasi-market' economy. One consequence of the resulting changes in the cultural, organizational, and administrative constitution of FE colleges has been the very public 'failure' of numerous institutions and their managements. Drawing on documentation and interviews across the sector, this…
Hegemonic Masculinity Revisited
From Paternalism to Entrepreneuralism
Disrupted Selves
This article draws on recently completed research undertaken within the UK further education (FE) sector. Theoretically located within (pro)feminist methodological perspectives, the research was concerned with critically investigating the interrelationship between men managers' sense of being male and masculine and the new managerialist discourses of contemporary education. Drawing on three of the research interviews, this article considers the a…
Boys Own' Stuff
The connections between men, masculinity and management remain understated if not largely concealed, despite a critical spotlight being increasingly cast on masculinity by many academic and other writers. In a similar vein, numerous commentators on organisation have charted the rise of new organisational forms and structures, and the management practices which flow from them. With few notable exceptions, however these bodies of work deny or downp…

Book reviews features of the previous volume which made it so successful.Among the others one must list the comprehensiveness of the material, the attention to detail and the way in which these highly regarded experts make complex material comprehensible to a wide non-statistical audience
