3rd International Interdisciplinary Conference on Gender, Work and Society
 
“Future of Equalities, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in South Asia and Beyond”
 
Venue: LUMS, Lahore, May 21-22, 2022
 
Deadline for submission: April 15, 2022
 

The 3rd International Interdisciplinary Conference on Gender, Work and Society

organised by Centre for Business and Society (CBS) will be hosted at the Suleman
Dawood School of Business (SDSB), Lahore University of Management Sciences
(LUMS) on May 21-22, 2022. The conference, organised primarily as a series of
streams, will provide an international forum for debate and analysis of contemporary
debates affecting gender and diversity studies. Previous conferences, held in 2017 and
2019, attracted a large number of local and international scholars to network and
collaborate gender related research and practices. The present conference aims to build
on the success and legacy of the previous conferences.
 
Conference Scope
 
Gender, work and society provide an avenue of exchange and dialogue about how
understanding gender is imperative to develop understanding of organisation of work
and society. At GWS, gender is broadly conceived as any gender identity and its various
intersections within the fields of organisational and management studies. The issue of
gender remains salient because while women constitute roughly half of our population,
they still face unequal opportunities in access to social services, employment, judicial
justice, political office and even public space. At the same time, millions of donor dollars
are spent annually on gender equity enhancement programmes and public policy
debates vigorously take up the cause of gender justice. Similarly, while several countries
(including Pakistan) have recognised non-binary gender categories, research on the
work, economic participation and organisational experiences of LGBTQ remains scarce.

While there are multiple normative reasons why organisations and businesses must
care for equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), research shows that organisations that
embrace equality, are also more successful creatively, as they recognise the creative
skills and opportunities that diversity and inclusion offer, as well as being more
economically viable and sustainable. It makes good business sense to offer flexible
working environments, to diversify audiences and better reflect the changing population
of world today. Our focus at this interdisciplinary conference is to explore the links
between various gender and identity categories and economic participation,
organisational culture, job satisfaction, organisational performance, entrepreneurship,
leadership and management. We are also interested in understanding the impact of
globalisation, public policy, social movements and social norms on the intersection
between gender, work and society. The conference will present an interdisciplinary
platform for participants to analyse and critique recent trends, innovations, and
conditions related to gender, work and society, broadly defined.  We invite full papers,
developing papers and case studies on the conference theme.
 
This conference will take place in Pakistan which is a country of over 220 million people
with diverse social, ethnic, linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Pakistan and its
neighboring countries in South Asia also provide a unique economic, social and political
context to explore the multiple intersections of gender, work and society. As the global
political economy and businesses shift to the region, it is critical that scholars study the
developments, debates, and discourses around gender, work, and society in the region.
Given this context, this year the GWS conference will focus on the future of equalities,
diversity and inclusiveness in organisations, businesses, and society activists in South
Asia. We are particularly interested in understanding and documenting intersectionality
as a travelling story (Saleem 2016) that is, how intersection of class, race and gender
plays out differently in different contexts. We also want to focus on the role of
researchers and practitioners in responding to the contextual demands of managing
diversity and inclusion.
 
The  conference aims to encourage and highlight both scholarship and praxis around
gender, diversity, work and society. The submissions should therefore be broadly within
this field of research and analysis. Themes can include, but are not limited to the
following:
 

·        Critical approaches to understanding how and why we ‘do’ gender and
diversity in the workplace

·        Postcolonial critiques on EDI

·        Diversity, class and social movements

·        Links and gaps between diversity and inclusion

·        Education and employment – connecting the missing dots

·        Diversity and family business
