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

英国银幕产业正在寻求解决性别不平等的新方法(见客串，2018；科布，2020；多德，2012；导演的英国，2014；Folders，2016；Wreyford，2018)。对于从事电影和电视制作的人来说，传统举措未能改善妇女的职业机会和工作经验(Eikhof等人)。2019年；宝洁，2013年)。性别不平等在女性工人的职业晋升、保留、认可和薪酬方面得到了证明(例如，Banks，2017；Connor等人)。2015；Dent，2019；O‘Brien，2015；Wing-Fai等人，2015等)作为回应，这个博士的目标是创造新的知识，为电影和电视制作工作中性别平等的创新方法提供参考。这一目标将通过颠覆现有的研究方法来实现。目前的研究重点是妇女在电影和电视制作中的代表性不足(例如，Cobb等人，2019年；Launzen，2019年；Gruguis&Stoyanova，2012年；Wreyford，2018年)。相反，这个项目将研究以女性为主的银幕工作：英国电影和电视行业的服装部门，大约73%的女性和27%的男性(Creative Skill set，2012：5)。由于性别不平等的劳动力参与有利于女性，服装部门是一个有前途的、新的研究场所。该项目以新的实证重点回应了要求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、工作是如何进行和复制的，以及塑造这些经历的组织和部门背景(Eikhof，2017)。

The UK screen industries are seeking new approaches to tackling gender inequality (see CAMEo, 2018; Cobb, 2020; Dodd, 2012; Director's UK, 2014; Follows, 2016; Wreyford, 2018). For those working in film and television production, traditional initiatives have failed to improve women's career opportunities and work experiences (Eikhof et al. 2019; ProctorThomson, 2013). Gender inequality has been evidenced in terms of career promotion, retention, recognition and pay for women workers (e.g. Banks, 2017; Connor et al. 2015; Dent, 2019; O'Brien, 2015; Wing-Fai et al., 2015 etc.) In response, this PhD aims to produce new knowledge that can inform innovative approaches to gender equality in film and television production 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., 2019; Launzen, 2019; Grugulis & Stoyanova, 2012; Wreyford 2018). Instead, this project will research women-dominated screen work: the costume departments of the UK's film and television industry, which comprise approximately 73% women and 27% men (Creative Skillset, 2012: 5). With gender-unequal workforce participation in favour of women, costume departments are a promising and novel site for research.With a new empirical focus this project responds to calls for understanding gender inequality beyond workforce statistics, and for taking into account individual work and career experiences, how work is performed and reproduced, as well as the organisational and sectoral contexts that shape these experiences (Eikhof, 2017).
