Negotiating Gendered Identities at Work Place, Space and Time

Drawing on the heritage of research that demonstrates the thoroughly gendered nature of work organizations, this book explores a key question that, as yet, remains unanswered: how does gendered organizational life affect individuals' identities as they go about their everyday working lives? This question is explored with theoretical insights from disciplines including sociology, geography, history and gender studies interwoven with a major new empirical study of doctors and nurses working in the British National Health Service.

SUSAN HALFORD is Senior Lecturer and PAULINE LEONARD is Lecturer, both in the Department of Sociology at the University of Southampton.
