Doing Gender in segregated and assimilative organizations ultra orthodox jewish women in the israeli high tech labour market
Gender Work and Organization, 2018Co-Authors: Aviad E. Raz, Gavan TzruyaAbstract:Ultra-Orthodox Jewish (haredi) women in Israel, who are traditionally expected to be both mothers and breadwinners so as to allow their husbands to immerse themselves in religious studies, are recently entering the high-tech labour market in both segregated and assimilate organizations. This segmented labour market allows the constructed and intersectional character of Doing Gender in organizations to be examined, which in turn may also effect the ways in which such labour segmentation continues to develop. In 2014–2015, we administered a questionnaire to 119 haredi women working as computer programmers in assimilative and segregated organizations, and interviewed 42 of them as well as 16 of their managers. We describe the emergence of a dual pattern of employment with its benefits and disadvantages regarding pay, satisfaction, commitment and burnout. Findings are presented concerning the balancing of work and family as well as the professional/social conflict that is accentuated by working in an assimilative organization. Our findings show how the intersection of work, religiosity, class and Gender is central to women's labour trajectories and identities, highlighting both the boundaries of Gendered arrangements and their negotiability. We conclude by discussing how specific strategies of Doing Gender in segmented labour markets play out in/against ‘global’ norms of work and professionalism.

The research methods used in “Doing Gender” literature
International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship, 2015Co-Authors: Jatta Jännäri, Anne KovalainenAbstract:Purpose – This paper aims to study the kinds of methodologies used in studying “Doing Gender” in working life and organisations. To do so, articles that use empirical research materials from different academic peer-reviewed journals have been analysed. By methodologies, both data gathering tools and the analysing techniques using and concerting the data have been largely understood. In the articles analysed, interviews were the main methodological tool in extracting the “Doing Gender”, while studies using naturally occurring data, e.g. historical materials and methods in relation to this type of data were in the minority. The following question has been proposed for further exploration: What impact does the domination of interviews as a research method have on the concept of “Doing Gender”? Design/methodology/approach – Qualitative content analysis, close reading and data were collected from academic peer-reviewed journals with the applied principles of literature review. Findings – The research methodolo...

Doing Gender feminism feminists and research methods in human geography
Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 1992Co-Authors: Linda McdowellAbstract:Recently, there has been a marked growth of interest in research methods in geography. Stimulated in part by the epistemological questions raised by feminist and post-modem critiques of 'scientific' method, this interest took a severely practical turn when the Economic and Social Research Council required a taught component, including methods, to be part of all postgraduate training. This led to the development of courses on alternative methodological strategies in geography and, especially for human geographers, an interest in developing teaching about feminist methods. In this paper, I discuss some of the issues that may arise from the adoption of explicitly feminist approaches to geographical research. Recognition of the positionality of the researcher and her/his subjects and the relations of power between them, as Pile argued in a different context in his recent paper in this journal, raises important questions for geographers that we are just beginning to address.

Doing Gender in Sex and Sex Research
Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2009Co-Authors: Ine VanwesenbeeckAbstract:Gender is central to sexuality, and vice versa, but there are a number of difficulties with the treatment of Gender in sex research. Apparently, it is hard to find a balance between two conflicting needs. First, obviously, it is necessary to make distinctions between women and men, for political as well as research-technical and theoretical reasons. A second requirement, at odds with the first one, is the necessity to understand Gender and its relation to sexuality and the body as much more complex than simplistically referring to two sets of individuals. This is all the more necessary when one realizes the possible drawbacks of exaggerating the differences between the sexes (in particular when they are biologically explained), because of stereotyping, stigmatizing, and expectancy confirmatory processes. This essay identifies and discusses 10 difficulties in the treatment of Gender in sex research, reflects on their origins, and reviews theory and evidence with the aim to (1) consider the relative strength of Gender/sex as an explanatory variable compared to other factors and processes explaining differences between men and women on a number of sexual aspects, (2) inform an understanding of Gender and its relation to sexuality as an ongoing, open-ended, multi-determined, situated, interactional process, with the body as a third player, and (3) argue in favor of a nuanced, well-balanced treatment of Gender in sex research.
