Call for Papers Special Issue Gendered visible and invisible inequalities in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA)

Gender, Work & Organization is the first gender equality journal dedicated to gender relations, the organization of gender and the gendering of organizations. This special issue seeks contributions on micro-level/individual experiences of gender inequality, meso-level organisational adjustments/responses and the role of enduring socioinstitutional norms and public policy interventions in correcting and/or maintaining gender inequalities across the region, thus highlighting intersectional issues that affect women’s participation in the labour market. Our aim is to encourage research on the MENA region that adopts intersectionality as a lens to think about gender inequalities at work by expanding and deepening their analyses of power dynamics in organizations through an intersectional approach. Intersectionality describes the social power dynamics in situations where individuals might have privilege in some situations but are oppressed in others and can be useful for exploring power dynamics within organizations and not limiting inequality to fixed social categories of social identity or location per se. In this special issue, we are seeking both theoretical and empirical papers.
