Understandings of Women's Disadvantage at Work: Discourses of Discrimination in the Workplace

在分析妇女在工作场所长期处于不利地位的问题时，研究的重点是反歧视法以及政府和公司的平等就业机会政策的不足。对工作场所理解和执行这些歧视规定的各种方式的关注较少。这个项目将在一系列的行业案例研究中考察围绕性别歧视的工作场所话语。它将有助于从理论上更好地理解妇女在工作场所的不利地位是如何在特定的组织背景和文化中形成和谈判的，并为人权机构提供实际指导。

In analysing the persistence of women's disadvantage in the workplace, research has focused on the inadequacy of anti-discrimination law and both government and corporate EEO policies. Less attention has been paid to the myriad ways in which these proscriptions of discrimination are understood and implemented in the workplace. This project will examine workplace discourses around sex discrimination in a range of industry case studies. It will contribute to a better theoretical understanding of the ways in which women's workplace disadvantage is constructed and negotiated within specific organisational contexts and cultures and also provide practical guidance for human rights agencies.
