Résumé
How can post-foundational research on gender, work and organization inform our understanding of policy? Much of our research has taken a particular focus on questions of change and continuity. Of particular interest have been the key concepts of space, place and time and how these, in multiple and complex ways, shape gendered organizations and gendered working lives. Different spatial and temporal features can combine to produce very different organizational contexts, working lives and identities in the face of ongoing policy change and consequent organizational restructuring. Our more recent research has extended the ways in which space and place can be understood to intersect with gender, as well as other aspects of identity such as race, ethnicity and nationality, regionality, age and social class. In each case, the outcomes are not necessarily those expected, and change is often found to coexist with continuity. Three projects, which show the value of this kind of work, will be discussed before returning to questions of policy.
