Gender, Participation and Inequality in the UK's film & TV costume workforce

响应行业需要创新洞察性别平等在英国屏幕部门，这个博士项目将研究服装劳动在电影和电视制作。随着一个新的实证重点，它将响应呼吁了解性别不平等超越劳动力统计，并考虑到个人的工作和职业经验，以及组织和部门的情况下，塑造这些经验（例如Eikhof，2017; Wing Fai等。这一目标将通过改变现有的研究方法来实现。目前的研究重点是妇女在电影和电视制作中的代表性不足（例如，Cobb等人，2018; Grugulis & Stoyanova，2012; Wing Fai等人，2015; Wreyford 2015）。相反，这个项目将研究女性主导的屏幕工作。联合王国的服装部门约有70%的女工和30%的男工（Creative Skillset，2012年）。随着有利于妇女的不平等的性别平衡，服装部门是一个有前途的和新颖的网站追求两个研究问题：RQ 1：哪些工作和就业的做法和观念促进妇女的劳动力参与服装工作？RQ 2：提高劳动力参与率与性别平等之间的关系是什么？这是否会导致平等的职业机会，以及没有性别欺凌和骚扰？ 该项目的总体目标是改善有效政策和做法的知识基础，从而促进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）合作开展。研究结果将通过联合活动和出版物等方式传播给各部门组织，预计将影响电影和电视行业的两性平等做法。

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.
