Responding to industry need for innovative insight into gender equality in the UK screen sector, this PhD project will study costume labour in film and television production. With a novel empirical focus it will respond to calls for understanding gender inequality beyond workforce statistics, and for taking into account individual work and career experiences as well as the organisational and sectoral contexts that shape these experiences (e.g. Eikhof, 2017; Wing Fai et al. 2015) This PhD aims to produce new knowledge that can inform innovative approaches to gender equality in screen work. This aim will be achieved by turning existing research approaches on their head. Current research focuses on the under-representation of women in film and television production (e.g. Cobb et al., 2018; Grugulis & Stoyanova, 2012; Wing Fai et al., 2015; Wreyford 2015). Instead, this project will research women-dominated screen work. The UK's costume departments comprise approximately 70% women and 30% men workers (Creative Skillset, 2012). With an unequal gender balance in favour of women, costume departments are a promising and novel site for pursuing two research questions:RQ1: Which work and employment practices and perceptions facilitate women's workforce participation in costume work? RQ2: What is the relationship between increased workforce participation and gender equality? Does this lead to equal career opportunities, and the absence of gendered bullying and harassment? The project's overarching objective is to improve the knowledge base for effective policy and practice, and to thereby contribute to the reduction of gender inequalities in screen work. To achieve this objective, the project will be undertaken in collaboration with key sector organisations (ScreenSkills and BECTU, plus CAMEo's screen sector partners). Research findings will be disseminated to sector organisations, including via joint events and publications, and are expected to influence gender equality practice in the film and television industries.

为了响应英国电影行业对性别平等的创新见解的行业需求，该博士项目将研究电影和电视制作中的服装劳动。凭借新颖的实证重点，它将响应理解劳动力统计之外的性别不平等的呼吁，并考虑到个人工作和职业经历以及塑造这些经历的组织和部门背景（例如Eikhof, 2017； Wing Fai等人。2015）该博士学位旨在产生新的知识，可以为银幕工作中的性别平等提供创新方法。这一目标将通过颠覆现有的研究方法来实现。目前的研究重点是女性在电影和电视制作中的代表性不足（例如Cobb等人，2018年；Grugulis和Stoyanova， 2012年；Wing Fai等人，2015年；Wreyford 2015年）。相反，这个项目将研究女性主导的银幕作品。英国的服装部门大约由70%的女性和30%的男性组成（Creative Skillset, 2012）。由于性别失衡对女性有利，服装部门是一个有前途和新颖的场所，可以进行两个研究问题：RQ1：哪些工作和就业实践和观念有助于女性参与服装工作？RQ2：提高劳动力参与率与性别平等之间的关系是什么？这是否会带来平等的就业机会，并消除性别欺凌和骚扰？该项目的总体目标是改善有效政策和做法的知识基础，从而有助于减少筛查工作中的性别不平等。为了实现这一目标，该项目将与关键部门组织（ScreenSkills和BECTU，以及CAMEo的屏幕部门合作伙伴）合作进行。研究结果将通过联合活动和出版物等方式传播给部门组织，预计将影响电影和电视行业的性别平等做法。
