ESRC Seminar Series Gender, work and life in the new global economy
The first seminar will take place on February 1st at the London School of Economics beginning with a buffet lunch at 12.45 and the seminar commencing 1.15 at the LSE .
If you would like to partipate in this or subsequent seminars in the series please reply to Hazel at [log in to unmask]
To start the series we will begin with a roundtable discussion of the current state of knowledge as reflected in some key reports published this year: UNDP Human Development, World Bank World Development, UNDESA Economic and Social Development, UNRISD report Gender Equality: Striving for Justice in an Unequal World. This round table will be followed by three more specific papers, one addressing the comparative extent of gender wage inequality, followed by two papers which explore how some of these inequalities are experienced and how workers are organising to redress some of the adverse effects of inequality.
People contributing to the roundtable discussion include Diane Elson, Ruth Pearson, Jo Morris and Jane Parpart
Confirmed papers include:
Wendy Sigle-Rushton - Motherhood and Women's Earnings in Anglo-American, Continental European, and Nordic Countries
Wendy Larner: Theorising Globalisation from the New Zealand Designer Fashion Industry
We are hoping to get someone to speak about how workers are organising to redress some of the adverse effects of inequality
The seminar series has been coordinated by Diane Perrons (LSE), Diane Elson (Essex), Majella Kilkey (Hull), Linda McDowell (Oxford) and Ruth Pearson (Leeds); Seminar administrator Hazel Johnstone.
