We are calling for abstracts for papers to be presented on women, work and collectivism on 22 November 2013 at AUT University.
We particularly welcome academic work and research that draws attention to the nexus between women, collective bargaining arrangements and their wider circumstances. Papers on the following themes are encouraged:
1. Women and collective bargaining (bargaining agenda, women bargaining agents, bargaining processes and outcomes for women, equality bargaining, bargaining in the sectors and industries);
2. Women and unions, and women in unions (women in/and union leadership, women and union policies, roles and structures, women’s self-organising, women and union organising, women’s ‘voice’ in unions;
3. Women and union representation of ‘intersectional interests’ (representation of women's diversity/intersectional interests, 'sub-groups' of women and/or minority groups);
4. Women in ‘unorganised’ workplaces (‘voice’, processes, outcomes at work in unorganised workplaces, jobs and industries);
5. ‘Women's work’ in the sectors and occupations (service sector, private and public sector, gendered occupational and industrial segregation, gendered bargaining processes and outcomes);
6. NGOs and women at work (the role of NGOs representing and advocating for women and women’s workplace experiences with, and instead of, unions);
7. Collective regulation and women’s working conditions and pay (minimum standards, awards and industry agreements, national systems);
8. Political economy and women and work (e.g. political and electoral change, and its workplace impact for women)
9. Emerging developments in work and employment for women (e.g. increased casualisation, non-standard and precarious work).
We encourage papers presenting cross-national studies of any of the above issues and we are keen to draw on work from the Pacific region and beyond. Both empirical and more theoretical research is welcome, as are historical analyses of the themes outlined above.
We also welcome other contributions (e.g. posters; abstracts). Please contact Julie Douglas or Jane Parker to discuss further.
Process
Queries about content, submission of abstract and the logistics of the symposium should be directed as soon as possible to Julie Douglas and Jane Parker (contact details below).
Abstracts of no more than 1,000 words noting aims, method and significance of the proposed paper to be submitted for consideration for presentation at the symposium should be submitted to the organising committee by close of business 31 July 2013 (contact details below). Abstracts must clearly state which of the ‘themes’ outlined above that the proposed paper addresses. The organisers anticipate being able to advise if the abstract has been accepted by 31 August 2013.
A small group of submissions will be chosen for presentation at a symposium to be held at the AUT University on 22 November 2013. Presenters will be expected to submit full drafts for discussion at the colloquium by 31 October 2013 so as to allow papers to be distributed to, and read by, other participants in the symposium (we encourage using APA style).
Publication
Accepted and suitably revised papers will be published in a special edition of the Labour and Industry: A journal of the social and economic relations of work. Submission process is below:
After the colloquium and submission of papers (by 31 October 2013 to Julie Douglas and Jane Parker), all papers will be peer reviewed. Final drafts incorporating required revisions must be completed by close of business 28 February 2014. The articles which ‘make it’ to this stage, will appear in a special edition of the AIRAANZ-sponsored Labour and Industry journal You can find the Journal’s style guide at http://www.airaanz.org/author-guidelines.html
