Description
Summary:In a recent Gender, Work & Organization article, Patricia Martin & David Collinson (2002) chart the obstacles scholars face in developing an integrated body of research on gender & organization. Arguing that the impediments to such an endeavour far outweigh the incentives, they suggest that gender & organization scholars 'strike out' on their own to establish a new, autonomous field of 'gendered organization'. In this essay, we build on Martin & Collinson's case, suggesting one way that striking out could be realized in its positive (venturing forth) rather than negative (baseball) sense. References.
