The seminar aim is to present introduction to the debate on the relation between gender and work with an intersectional approach. In the course we will analyse the gendered division of labour, the masculinized and feminized jobs and gender segregation on the labour market, mechanisms of discrimination and gendering organization in its various aspects – barriers, glass ceilings and walls, communication, negotiations and leadership, and opportunities for diversity and change. We will discuss gender with regard to class and race in order to see the variety of gendering mechanisms in the economy, on labour market and in organizations. We will study different sectors and different jobs, discuss the relation between production and reproduction, role of the state in gendering work and the terrains of struggle – gendered character of workers’ organizing. We will discuss the opportunities and obstacles for more equality at the workplace. Students will be expected to prepare short presentations with use of various sources – texts, films or pictures.
