SIG: GENDER EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY IN MANAGEMENT
TRACK 1: Gender Equality and Diversity in Management (Standing Track)
Dr Beverly Dawn Metcalfe, Chairwoman, GED, EURAM ACADEMY
Submission of ‘Extended Abstracts /Working and Refereed Papers’
Deadline: 17th January 2011
Track/Programme Chairs:
• Beverly Dawn Metcalfe, University of Manchester,

The aim of the track is to advance contemporary thinking in the discipline of equality and diversity management by bringing together international scholars with an interest in disadvantaged and marginalized groups in a European and international setting. We are interested in papers on equality and diversity management from all areas of the world, but especially in papers highlighting the European case. Within this track, we seek to analyze varying socio-demographic, socio-cultural and geopolitical contexts for their implications for work and organization processes, including occupational segregation, work-life balance, wage differentials or, more subtle exclusionary practices such as gendered organizational cultures and the pre-eminence of hegemonic masculinity within organizations Inequalities are related to a myriad of difference dimensions, including gender, race, social-class, age, disability. This difference not only reinforces social injustice, but also encourages exploitation. Current debates in the area of gender, diversity and development management research include: social theory and inequality, the extent to which globalization has facilitated the spread of western ideas around feminism and justice, and what feminism means in diverse social-cultural contexts, equality and diversity; the convergence of legislative and policy approaches to inequality internationally; and the impact of labour market changes on employment equality, particularly in the context of EU enlargement.
We encourage contributions from scholars from a broad range of disciplines: economics, management, HRM, psychology, development, public administration, gender studies, sociology.
We welcome studies of single country and comparative research. We aim to rejuvenate critical debate of the gendered, racialised and classed nature of organization systems. We encourage focus on private, public sector, international organizations and NGO’s. As EURAM 2011 is taking place in Estonia, we are especially interested in the gendered, racialised and ethnic dynamics prevalent in transitional or/and post-socialist country contexts and have secured a SI of International Journal of Public Administration, ‘Gender, Diversity, Governance and Public Administration in Transitional and Post Socialist States’. We especially invite contemporary papers on gender and equality in countries including: Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia for Central Europe; Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania for the Baltic States; Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo Under UNSC 1244, TFYR Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania and Serbia for South-East Europe; Belarus, Moldova, Russian Federation and Ukraine for the Western CIS; Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia for the Caucasus; and Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan for Central Asia, as well as China.
We especially welcome scholarly articles on gender, public administration, reform and governance in post-socialist and transitional states. Movements from a communist led economy to a liberal market system have had profound and impacted the dynamics of diversity, equality and inclusion in a myriad of ways. Social services and public services have been withdrawn or radically altered and are creating greater divides in everyday working conditions. We are keen to attract either empirical papers or theoretical papers that examine new governance regimes and public administration changes, new social, HRM, employment and welfare policy agendas that tackle issues from a gender or diversity perspective. This is an open call to ensure integrity of highest academic standards and we anticipate high quality submissions for EURAM for SI.
