Gender, Work and Organization

Aims & Scope

Gender, Work & Organization welcomes theory-driven papers and empirical papers that go beyond mere description, using data as a means of advancing, or reflecting upon theory.

GWO publishes papers that are; sophisticated in theoretical, epistemological and methodological content; mature in their engagement of sociological and/or gender theories; engaged with a broad body of international scholarship and highly developed conceptually.

As such, we aim to provide a forum for papers that go beyond a traditional oppositional-binary or categorical concept of gender.

Papers which are underdeveloped, represent ideas under development or redrafted conference papers will be declined, as will papers which are purely or largely atheoretical, empiricist or descriptive.

Paying particular attention to engagement with and contribution to theory, submissions to GWO should be original in content and style (not under review, accepted, or published elsewhere) and be not more than 9000 words.

Exceptions to word count /length of paper may be made at the discretion of the editorial team in the case of papers reporting qualitative research.
