International Seminar "Diversity and Inequality in Contemporary Organizations" 11-12/09/2012
An EqualDiv@Work International Seminar
Diversity and Inequality in Contemporary Organizations
September 11th: Keynote speeches by two international scolars
- 14:00-15:15 Donald Tomaskovic-Devey (University of Massachusetts, Amherst) "Relational Inequalities"
All inequalities are produced in and through social relations. This talk outlines some key processes that generate inequalities, argues that they operate in concrete social fields, and that we should expect inequalities to be institutionally, interactionally, and historically contingent. These ideas are illustrated with comparisons of gender inequality in the US and Japan in 1980, class inequalities in the US and Australia today, the impact of financial conceptions of the firm on capital-labor inequalities in the US, and long-term institutional changes in gender and racial segregation in the US private sector over the last half century. - 15:15-15:45 Coffee Break
- 15:45- 17:00 Speech by Ahu Tatli (Queen Mary Business School, University of London) "Researching intersectionality: A Bourdieuan emic approach"
There is a dominant tendency of using etic approaches in equality and diversity research. One possible outcome of etic approaches is a pecking order between various categories of difference leading to overtly or covertly universalistic claims, ahistorical and contextual accounts. In this talk, I propose an emic approach in order to unpack the complexity of intersectionality of difference. The suggested approach operationalises Pierre Bourdieu's theory of capitals, which allows researchers to have power relations rather than fixed categories of difference as their starting point. - 18:00 Social dinner in Hasselt
September 12th, PHD-seminar
- 10:00-12:00 PhD seminar: discussion of two papers in progress
- 12:00-13:00 Lunch
- 13:00-16:00 PhD seminar: discussion of three papers in progress
Please contact Patrizia Zanoni at patrizia.zanoni@uhasselt.be if you are interested in presenting and discussing your work on diversity at work during this session by September 3rd, 2012.

Zwangere topmanager is unicum in VS
Marissa Mayer, die deze week benoemd werd tot nieuwe CEO van internetbedrijf Yahoo! , is zwanger. Ze verwacht in oktober een zoontje, zo liet ze zelf weten aan het zakenblad Fortune. Dat een groot beursgenoteerd technologiebedrijf in de Verenigde Staten een zwangere topvrouw aanwerft, is ongezien. Het wakkert alvast het debat aan over het combineren van carrière en gezin.
De 37-jarige Mayer was vicepresident bij Google en kondigde deze week haar overstap aan naar concurrent Yahoo!. Dat bedrijf verkeert in financiële problemen en heeft het strategisch moeilijk om stand te houden tussen internetgiganten Google en Facebook. Mayer krijgt er echter nog een uitdaging bij: in oktober verwacht ze een eerste kindje.
Enkele weken out
Maar de vrouw meent dat de gezinsuitbreiding geen grote impact zal hebben. "Ik wil mijn werkritme behouden. Mijn zwangerschapsverlof zal slechts enkele weken duren en ik zal in die tijd ook aan de slag blijven", verklaarde ze aan Fortune, al was het om de aandeelhouders gerust te stellen.
Zeldzame zaak
Een vrouw aan het hoofd van een technologiebedrijf is sowieso al zeldzaam in de VS, slechts 19 van de 500 grootste Amerikaanse bedrijven worden geleid door een vrouw. Een zwangere topmanager is al helemaal een unicum. Het debat over het combineren van carriere en gezin, wordt hiermee geopend.
Lof
"Laat ons hopen dat ze bedrijven zal aanzetten om betere oplossingen te vinden voor alle werkende mama's", twitterde actrice Mia Farrow, zelf moeder van dertien kinderen. "Ik kan Marissa Mayer alleen maar feliciteren, uitstekend nieuws", liet Anne-Marie Slaughter weten. Zij is professor aan de universiteit van Princeton en moeder van twee. Slaughter verliet eerder wel haar post van diplomaat bij Buitenlandse Zaken om meer tijd te hebben voor haar gezin.
Ook kritiek
Maar er is ook kritiek op het voornemen van Mayer om te blijven werken aan een hoog tempo. "Doen alsof men het werkritme behoudt, is geen rekening houden met een realiteit die we moeten aanvaarden: baby's hebben nood aan aandacht en moeders moeten tijd met hen doorbrengen", aldus een bloggende moeder uit New York.
Mayer zal door haar royale loon wel makkelijk een beroep kunnen doen op hulp van buitenaf. Het zwangerschapsverlof in de VS duurt twaalf weken, maar wordt niet betaald.

Equality Diversity and Inclusion Conference 2012
5th Equality, Diversity and Inclusion International Conference, 2012, Toulouse, France

Conference theme: country and comparative perspectives on equality, diversity and inclusion
The 5th EDI conference will be held in Toulouse, Southwest France, 23-25 July 2012. It will provide an exciting forum for encounters and publication projects in a stimulating intellectual, cultural and historical environment.A wide range of streams is being welcome about all types of research questions and strands of diversity. However, regardless the area and research question of the stream, at paper submission stages, authors of empirical papers will be invited to provide a section albeit brief, about the country or countries of data collection. Transnational streams and papers involving multiple countries will be welcome to this conference. However the indications above should not be seen as limitative in terms of stream themes and approaches.
There will be a doctoral workshop under the supervision of Professor Judith Pringle and Annie Cornet.
The 2012 edition also welcomes pre-conference workshops to be held July 23.
Publication partnerships of EDI 2012 Toulouse conference

Stream organizers alongside participants to their stream may also want to write a summary comparative paper which might then qualify for this book project. See call http://www.viadeo.com/fr/event/006gnzvl84zvhv0/diversity-and-equality-international-research-project
Stream organizers are also advised that the book series Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at Work (Book series by Emerald) headed by Professor Mustafa Özbilgin is associated to the conference and relevant stream proposals will be eligible for this book series subject to acceptance decision by professor Özbilgin who will attend the conference.
