In what ways does gender intersect with other kinds of disadvantage? How does power work through interactions, emotions and bodies?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eIn this original synthesis of social theory and its application to gender and work, Kate Huppatz draws from classical theory and principles of the 'cultural turn' to explore how feminist sociology dismantles dualistic understandings of gender and scrutinizes the workings of power. In a \u003ci\u003etour de force\u003c\/i\u003e of exposition and analysis of landmarks in the literature, Huppatz reflects upon continuities and departures in cutting-edge research on gender within organizations, unpaid domestic labour, and paid and unpaid care work.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eClose attention is paid to pressing issues such as the intersectionality of inequality in the workplace, relations between micro activities and larger social processes, and the impact of Covid-19 on exposing and exacerbating the gendered inequalities of work. Case examples drawn from North America, Australasia and the UK illustrate social theory in practice. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThroughout, Huppatz emphasizes the importance of theoretical understandings in furthering empirical research about gender and work. She also considers the gendered division of labour within the study of work and employment itself.\u003cbr\u003e This key new addition to the \u003ci\u003eThemes in Social Theory \u003c\/i\u003eseries is an essential read for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers interested in this area of study across a wide range of disciplines.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46636870500510,"sku":"UBD-9781350369924","price":65.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781350369924.jpg?v=1774398251","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781350369924","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
