University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Vanderslice. This seminar will explore the intersection of gender and organizational behavior as it has evolved and in the current social and economic context in this country. We will examine the social, cultural and structural dynamics within organizations that differentially affect women and men, as well as the gender-linked resources each brings to organizations. Discussion will also focus on how gender-linked resources can be better used and responded to in organizations. Topics that will be addressed include gender and power, gender and class, gender and leadership, the social construction of organizational structure and restructuring organizations to better meet the needs of women and men in today's culture. We will also examine phenomena such as the "glass ceiling," the "Mommy track," organizational responses to parenting needs, the flight of executive women from large organizations and the "pink collar" ghetto.
