Gender and Sexuality Studies Workshop
Prof. Amanda Sharkey (Associate Professor of Organizations and Markets, Booth School of Business) is curating the workshop this quarter under the theme, âGender and Work.â
Great progress has been made toward gender equality in the workplace over the last several decades. Yet, significant gender-based disparities in pay and promotions remain. These differences are rooted in a variety of cultural, social and economic structures, but the workplace environment clearly plays a critical and proximate role in shaping womenâs career trajectories, thereby influencing the extent of economic equality overall. This quarterâs workshop will focus on issues of gender inequality in the workplace, with a particular emphasis on understanding key organizational factors (e.g., formal policies and practices as well as informal cultural aspects of workplaces) that either promote or reduce disparities between men and women on the job.
