Doing, Undoing, or Redoing Gender?
Gender and Society - Tập 24 Số 1 - Trang 31-55 - 2010
Catherine Connell
Drawing from the perspectives of transgender individuals, this article offers an empirical investigation of recent critiques of West and Zimmerman’s “doing gender” theory. This analysis uses 19 in-depth interviews with transpeople about their negotiation and management of gendered interactions at work to explore how their experiences potentially contribute to the doing, undoing, or redoin...... hiện toàn bộ
Circumventing Discrimination
Gender and Society - Tập 20 Số 2 - Trang 177-206 - 2006
Johanna Shih
This article compares the experiences of U.S.-born white women, Asian men, and Asian women immigrant engineers in Silicon Valley. It focuses on two particular characteristics of the region’s economic structure: the norm of job-hopping and the centrality of networks to high-skilled workers’ career livelihoods. While these characteristics might be assumed to exacerbate ethnic and gender ine...... hiện toàn bộ
Making Gender Fit and “Correcting” Gender Misfits
Gender and Society - Tập 24 Số 2 - Trang 213-236 - 2010
Julie A. Kmec, Steve McDonald, Lindsey B. Trimble
This article highlights the extent to which finding a job without actively searching (“nonsearching”) sustains workplace sex segregation. We suspect that unsolicited information from job informants that prompts fortuitous job changes is susceptible to bias about gender “fit” and segregates workers. Results from analyses of 1,119 respondents to the 1996 and 1998 waves of the National Longi...... hiện toàn bộ
Children’s Surnames, Moral Dilemmas
Gender and Society - Tập 24 Số 4 - Trang 499-525 - 2010
Colleen N. Nugent
This content analysis examines online accounts of choices of marital and child surnames to understand the predominance of exclusively patrilineal surnames. I demonstrate how surnaming processes present the classic tension between commitment to self and others as moral dilemmas of self versus family, children, and spouse. Social and cultural mechanisms create an either/or exclusive framing...... hiện toàn bộ
PAMELA'S PLACE
Gender and Society - Tập 10 Số 5 - Trang 505-526 - 1996
Debra Gimlin
This article draws from field research in a Long Island beauty salon to explore the ways that female beauty work constructs gendered, classed identities. Stylists use their attachment to beauty culture to nullify status differences between themselves and their clientele, and to imagine themselves their customers' friends and social equals. However, the emotional ties stylists profess forc...... hiện toàn bộ
“I’ll Be Like Water”
Gender and Society - Tập 27 Số 6 - Trang 777-798 - 2013
Gowri Vijayakumar
This article examines the ways in which ideologies of aspiration, inclusion, and women’s empowerment associated with India’s globalizing knowledge economy are re-framed by young women workers in a small-town business-process outsourcing (BPO) center two hours outside of Bangalore. Drawing on forty in-depth interviews, I show that, in contrast to their managers’ expectations of individuali...... hiện toàn bộ
Purple-Collar Labor
Gender and Society - Tập 29 Số 2 - Trang 169-194 - 2015
Emmanuel David
This article examines new patterns of workplace inequality that emerge as transgender people are incorporated into the global labor market. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 41 transgender call center employees in the Philippines, I develop the concept “purple-collar labor” to describe how transgender workers—specifically trans women—are clustered, dispersed, and segregated in the workp...... hiện toàn bộ
REPLACING HOUSEWORK IN THE SERVICE ECONOMY
Gender and Society - Tập 12 Số 2 - Trang 219-231 - 1998
Philip N. Cohen
Using data from the 1993 Consumer Expenditure Survey to examine housework-related service consumption, the author finds that spending on housekeeping services and meals out—which helps relieve women's housework burden—is affected by dynamics within marriages as well as by family class and race-ethnicity. Other things equal, families in which women have more relative power, as reflected in...... hiện toàn bộ
“JUST EVERY MOTHER'S ANGEL”
Gender and Society - Tập 9 Số 4 - Trang 408-431 - 1995
Karen A. Joe, Meda Chesney‐Lind
Few studies of gangs have explored both ethnic and gender variations in the experience of gang membership. Based on an analysis of interviews with 48 youth from a number of ethnic gangs in Hawaii, this article explores boys' and girls' reasons for joining gangs. The results suggest that although gang members face common problems, they deal with these in ways that are uniquely informed by ...... hiện toàn bộ
Hierarchies of Categorical Disadvantage: Economic Insecurity at the Intersection of Disability, Gender, and Race
Gender and Society - Tập 33 Số 1 - Trang 64-93 - 2019
Michelle Maroto, David Pettinicchio, Andrew C. Patterson
Intersectional feminist scholars emphasize how overlapping systems of oppression structure gender inequality, but in focusing on the gendered, classed, and racialized bases of stratification, many often overlook disability as an important social category in determining economic outcomes. This is a significant omission given that disability severely limits opportunities and contributes to c...... hiện toàn bộ
