Reworking gender

"Reworking Gender: A Feminist Communicology of Organization examines the place of gender and feminist scholarship in contemporary critical organization studies. Departing from the common view of gender as a specialized branch of organization scholarship, authors Dennis K. Mumby and Karen Lee Ashcraft reposition feminism in a communication centered model that integrates recent developments in feminist, critical, and postmodern organizational studies. Linking theory to practical projects, the authors address many of the complex and often contradictory concerns of critical organizational scholarship, including issues of discourse, subjectivity, power, race, and class." "With its interdisciplinary approach, Reworking Gender: A Feminist Communicology of Organization will be of interest to scholars and graduate students in such fields as organizational communication, management and organization studies, sociology, and gender studies."--Jacket.
