Engaging our diverse students in all class formats is crucial to our societal well-being, yet we may not feel equipped to do so. Join us to explore theoretical frameworks and practical strategies that allow us to welcome and support all our students in equitable and inclusive online and in-person classes.

Menopause and the workplace: new directions in research

by

Professor Joanna Brewis,
Open University      

Wednesday 13 November 2019

1pm – 2.30pm

Lecture Room 3, School of Management,

The Gateway North Haugh, St Andrews, KY16 9RJ

Abstract
This presentation will focus on the importance of future research adopting an intersectional, political economy approach to menopause, in order to better understand the considerable differences between how women going through menopause transition experience work. It will offer arguments ranging from the macro through the meso, down to the micro level of these differences, in doing so, setting an agenda for the work to come on this very significant issue.

Menopause Cafe

by

A Menopause Café aimed at breaking down the taboo around menopause, increasing awareness of the impact of the menopause on those experiencing it, their family, friends and their colleagues and reflecting on the ‘third stage of life’, is being held on Wednesday 20th November 2019. The Menopause Café is open to both male and female participants of all ages.

Menopause Cafe was founded by Rachel Weiss in Perth, Scotland. Following the World’s first Menopause Café in 2017, a number of Menopause Cafés have been organised throughout the UK, including in some workplaces. Rachel Weiss of Rowan Consultancy, who founded Menopause Café commented,

“The Menopause Café is aimed at women and men of all ages who would like to come along and talk about the menopause, to share their stories, experiences and questions, all made that little bit easier with tea and cake. Unfortunately, many women feel that they should just ‘get on with’ the Menopause, with some never talking to their friends or family about it, but the reality is that it affects all women eventually, not forgetting those who live and work with them. People can come along and just listen, or join in on the discussions, hopefully leaving with a clearer sense of the impact of the menopause on those who are experiencing it, alongside their families, friends and colleagues.”

Analysing Ageism and Age Discrimination (at work)

by

Professor John Macnicol,
University College London (UCL)

Research seminar, University of St Andrews

Wednesday 12 June 2019

12.30pm – 2pm

Professor Macnicol presents a seminar entitled “Analysing ageism and age discrimination (at work)”. In the last twenty years, there has been much discussion of ageism and age discrimination in employment in the UK. Many argue that age should join class, gender and race as protected characteristics in any modern, civilised society. However, there are intriguing problems with the timing of this renewed interest, and in many ways both concepts have been under discussion for a very long time. It is possible, for example, to see interest in age discrimination in employment as far back as the 1930s. The question is, therefore, why these disadvantages have re-appeared on the public policy agenda, and to what extent they have been used to justify a workfarist agenda which may not be in the best interests of older people.

From sex roles to gender as a social structure: Implications for organisational change

by

Professor Barbara Risman,
University of Illinois Chicago

Research seminar, University of St Andrews

Wednesday 30 May 2018

12.30pm – 2pm

Professor Risman presents a seminar entitled “From sex roles to gender as a social structure: Implications for organisational change”.  In this talk, Professor Risman presents a theory for understanding gender inequality that goes far beyond defining gender as identity.  Instead, she argues that gender is a structure that includes individual level identities, but also the interactional expectations linked to sex category, institutional policies which embed expectations into organizations, and cultural logics which legitimate inequality.   The only way to decrease inequality is to address each level of analysis, and do so with attention to the material reality and cultural beliefs. The public policy and organizational implications of understanding gender as a social structure will be highlighted.  A discussion of this new generation of workers, Millennials, will be included in the conversation.
