New Accelerants of Inequality Regimes: AI‐Hiring Tools and Algorithmic Bias
AI‐hiring technology is becoming increasingly widely adopted, raising important questions about what effect such technology may have on organizational inequality regimes. Although there is a large and growing body of literature surrounding the effects of AI hiring, its impacts, and bias, markedly less is known about who develops, sells, and markets such tools, and what role this may play in the altering and further entrenching of inequality regim…
A narrative review of nursing in Saudi Arabia: Prospects for improving social determinants of health for the female workforce
Integrating Inequality Regimes and Social Cognitive Career Theory: Female Physicians' Resilience in India
This study integrates Acker's institutional inequality regimes and social cognitive career theory (SCCT) to explore career resilience amongst highly qualified women professionals in a developing country context. Despite women undergraduate students outnumbering men in Indian medical schools, female physicians continue to face systemic barriers to long‐term career advancement into executive roles. This research investigates how gendered organizati…
Between Mandate and Morality: Navigating Care Home Recruitment and Mandatory Vaccination during Covid-19
We document the lived experience of Shiv, a care home recruitment manager, during the period of mandated employee vaccination in the COVID-19 pandemic. Care homes in the United Kingdom, as in many parts of the world, became a brutal front line in the battle to mitigate the pandemic’s worst effects. Residents and staff were among the most vulnerable to infection, a risk heightened by failure to test incoming residents and employees. In response to…
Active representation and identity taxation: Unintended outcome of representative labour
Drawing on the theory of representative bureaucracy, which shows that minority bureaucrats will actively represent the interests of minorities from the same sociodemographic group, we argue that institutions could use active representation for institutional performative goals through identity taxation resulting in an unintended outcome of representative labour. We contribute a novel conceptual model of representative labour, enhancing the underst…
Governance and public policies: Support for women entrepreneurs in France and England
We extend the current literature on barriers to women’s entrepreneurship by providing the perspectives of women entrepreneurs’ lived experience of governance and public policies designed to support entrepreneurship, in France and England. The research draws on primary data comprising interviews with 75 French and English women entrepreneurs as well as secondary data. The research suggests that in France the system of governance is relatively more…
A typology of sexism in contemporary business schools: Belligerent, benevolent, ambivalent, and oblivious sexism
The legitimacy of business schools is based on rankings, revenues, branding, and opportunities to support staff and students “to make a difference in the world”. Yet sexism in business schools is endemic. Drawing on Acker's inequality regimes framework and a thematic analysis of reports in Poets&Quants , EFMD's Global Focus and AACSB International's BizEd / AACSB Insights over a decade, this study explores how business schools are dealing (or not…
Athena SWAN: “Institutional peacocking” in the neoliberal university
This paper contributes to understandings of how Athena SWAN (AS) is shaping contemporary equality work in the context of the neoliberal university, and whether it is contributing to performative ways of doing equality work. We center our research on the exploration of the question of how the gender‐agenda is being captured by the neoliberal agenda, drawing on 35 in‐depth qualitative interviews with AS champions across the UK and Republic of Irela…
‘I Wanted More Women in, but . . .’: Oblique Resistance to Gender Equality Initiatives
Despite many interventions designed to change the gender demographics of positional leadership roles in organizations and professions, women continue to be under-represented in most arenas. Here we explore gender equality (GE) interventions through the example of positive discrimination quotas in politics to develop an understanding of resistance to them. Our case is the British Labour Party, analysing interviews with the people who designed, imp…
Ties that bind: An inclusive feminist approach to subvert gendered “ othering ” in times of crisis
The COVID‐19 pandemic, as an ongoing societal crisis, compounds pre‐existing intersectional inequalities. Since the start of this crisis, those on the margins—women, single parents, LGBTQ+, Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic peoples—and those living in precarity and poverty found themselves increasingly “othered.” As a group of academics who encounter gendered reality in disparate ways, we unite through this paper to prioritize a collective ethic …
Breaking the mold: Working through our differences to vocalize the sound of change
This paper orchestrates alterethnographical reflections in which we, women, polyphonically document, celebrate and vocalize the sound of change. This change is represented in Kamala Harris's appointment as the first woman, woman of color, and South Asian American as the US Vice President, breaking new boundaries of political leadership, and harvesting new gains for women in leadership and power more broadly. With feminist awareness and curiosity,…
Knowledge hustlers: Gendered micro‐politics and networking in UK universities
This article explores the role of gendered academic networks in the context of research evaluation, and women’s lived experiences of UK universities. Gendered power is conceptualised as an important aspect of inequality regimes, providing insight into how men maintain power and how power dynamics and informal networks function, characterised in this article as ‘the hustle’. A case study comprising 80 in‐depth, semi‐structured qualitative intervie…
An NHS Doctor's Lived Experience of Burnout during the First Wave of Covid-19
This article offers the lived experiences of an NHS doctor working on the front line in an English NHS Trust during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. The overall aim of the article is to offer a context-specific perspective on the employee experience of burnout by drawing out the interplay of organisational and external/socio-political factors during an atypical time. The narrative also highlights an as yet unexplored pattern of burnout wi…
Theorizing gender desegregation as political work: The case of the Welsh Labour Party
Organization studies offers a detailed understanding of the roots of gender segregation and the obstacles to its dismantling in practice but has not proposed a conceptual framework that can help us understand how radical forms of desegregation may be made sense of and approached, particularly within a hotly contested organizational context. We provide an empirical analysis of the UK's only positive discrimination intervention, in the British Labo…
Reflections on front‐line medical work during Covid‐19 and the embodiment of risk
Drawing on the voice of a woman NHS front‐line doctor during the current COVID‐19 pandemic, we explore her lived experience of the embodiment of risk in the crisis. We explore her struggles and difficulties, giving her voice and mobilizing our writing to listen to these experiences, reflecting on them as a way of living our own feminist lives. Her story illustrates that the current crisis is not only a crisis of health, but a crisis for feminism.…
The curious under‐representation of women impact case leaders: Can we disengender inequality regimes
Universities are increasingly expected to demonstrate the wider societal impacts of academic research. Yet women management scholars were disproportionately under‐represented in leading impact cases in the UK's REF (Research Excellence Framework) 2014. An analysis of 395 REF impact cases for business and management studies with an identifiable lead author revealed that only 25 per cent were led by women, of which 54 per cent were sole authored. B…
