About this product

Product Information

Exploring the experiences of the growing number of men who have entered 'feminine' service and caring occupations, this book examines how men in these contexts both 'do' and 'undo' gender as they manage the potential mismatch between gender and occupational identity. Part One of the book draws on the theoretical concepts of identity, visibility and emotions to bring together some of the work in the field and to explore new developments. Part Two examines the experiences of men in four occupational contexts through the lenses of identity and space (cabin crew); bodies, embodiment and masculinity (nurses); professionalism and care (primary school teachers) and social identity (librarians). The book highlights some of the complications of managing identity in these contexts as well as the complexities and dynamics of negotiating difference

"[T]his is a book that investigators interested in gender performance, and doing/undoing gender difference, in gendered organizational contexts, will want on their bookshelves. I would also recommed it for advanced undergraduate students and graduate seminars on gender." -Michael P. Carroll, University of Western Ontario, "[T]his is a book that investigators interested in gender performance, and doing/undoing gender difference, in gendered organizational contexts, will want on their bookshelves. I would also recommed it for advanced undergraduate students and graduate seminars on gender." —Michael P. Carroll, University of Western Ontario, 'This is a very welcome book on the field of occupational choice. It is well signposted and written for both undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as a non-academic audience. I have already ordered library copies and included it as a "must-read" addition to reading lists on gender and occupational choice.' - Sue Child, Times Higher Education
