‘I’m Not Expected to Know This’ – Engaged Male Faculty Positioning Gender Knowledge in Engineering Education
This paper examines how senior male engineering faculty at a Swedish technical university who have introduced gender knowledge into engineering coursework position this knowledge in relation to engineering knowledge, and what such positionings mean for change efforts. Drawing on positioning theory and interviews with program directors and course coordinators – who are neither feminist scholars nor formally expected to engage with gender knowledge…
Med Agnes i ryggen. Om separatistiska metoder i jämställdhetsarbete
The purpose of this paper is to develop our theoretical understanding of the transformative potential of separatist methods in gender equality work by studying a women-only programme at a maledominated higher education institution in Sweden. The analysis explores in what way a separatist method, that has an interactive design and content with a power perspective, can support change leadership. Extant research has criticized women-only programmes …
Gender and corporate boards
The question of gender on corporate boards has been a topic of debate for many years now and countries have been taking different policy measures to increase the number of women board members. While some countries such as Norway and Germany have adopted different types of legislated quotas, others like Sweden and the UK have introduced voluntary measures (see, e.g., Mensi-Klarbach & Seierstad, 2020; Seierstad, Gabaldon, & Mensi-Klarbach, 2017).

Executive search as ethnosociality
In this article, we explore how executive search consultants in Austria, Finland and Sweden address ethnicity. Our findings suggest that while consultants working in these different sociocultural settings may attribute different meanings to ethnicity, they share a tendency to evade questions of ethnicity with regard to the search process. We specify three discursive practices that serve to eliminate questions of ethnicity from executive search: c…

And then there are none
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the ways in which gender is "done" in executive search. The authors uncover how the ideal candidate for top management is defined in and through search practices, and discuss how and why women are excluded in the process
Recruiting Managing Directors
This article examines homosociality in the context of top management recruitment in Sweden, drawing on interviews with chairmen of the board and three recruitments of managing directors. The analysis suggests that homosociality is done through two main practices: (re)defining competence and doing hierarchy, resulting in a preference for certain men and the exclusion of women. It is argued that the preference of men can be understood as an unrefle…
Gender, Management and Market Discourse
In this article we present a comparative study of media texts in Sweden and Finland, two societies traditionally viewed as Nordic welfare states. Focusing on the controversial question of introducing gender‐based quotas on the boards of companies, we analyse how representations of gender and management are affected in Sweden and Finland by contemporary market discourse. We argue that market discourse takes different forms in the two societal cont…
Homosociality as a gendered process
Gender and National Identity Constructions in the Cross‐Border Merger Context
In this article we explore ways in which vertical gender inequality is accomplished in discourse in the context of a recent chain of cross‐border mergers and acquisitions that resulted in the formation of a multinational Nordic company. We analyse social interactions of ‘doing’ gender in interviews with male senior executives from Denmark, Finland and Sweden. We argue that their explanations for the absence of women in the top echelons of the com…
