Overview

The 2023 Gender, Work and Organization (GWO) conference will be hosted for the first time on African shores in Cape Town, South Africa. The conference theme is Marginalised gender identities – how can intellectual activism transform work and organization? Marginalized gender identities include women, the LGBTQ+ community, and non-normative heterosexual men, which further intersect with race, ethnicity, religion, class, bodily and cognitive ability, nationality, geospatial and socioeconomic origin or placement, educational background, and job type.

Launched in 1994, Gender, Work and Organization was the first journal to provide an arena dedicated to debate and analysis of gender relations, the organisation of gender and the gendering of organisations. GWO provides an international forum for debate and analysis of contemporary issues affecting gender studies at work, in organizing work, and in jobs. In 2021, the GWO conference at Kent University, United Kingdom attracted in excess 600 international scholars from over 30 nations, which was followed by the 2022 conference in Bogota, Columbia.

GWO2023 in Cape Town is an in-person conference with very limited online streams, depending on feasibility.
