Language: English and French

This session will focus on the marginalization of women workers due to race, ethnicity, national origin, and/or (im)migrant status. Papers will explore workplace and labor market structures and processes that produce and reinforce multiple and intersecting inequalities. We especially welcome papers that critically engage with or apply theories and concepts of intersectionality; this might also include intersections with class and/or sexuality along with gender and race/ethnicity. Possible areas of investigation, which might be in local, national or global contexts, include: the needs and/or impact of legal rights and protection; effects of corporate, state and development policies on women’s wellbeing (or exclusion); economic recession; labor market segregation; labor organizing; informalization of female labor.

On se penchera sur la marginalisation des travailleuses à cause de leur race, origine ethnique, origine nationale et/ou statut d’(im)migrante. Les communications aborderont les lieux de travail et les structures et processus du marché de travail qui produisent et renforcent des inégalités multiples et en intersection. Les communications qui, dans une perspective critique, explorent ou se servent des théories et concepts de l’intersectionnalité, seront particulièrement bienvenues. On peut intégrer des intersections avec la classe et/ou la sexualité, en plus des rapports sociaux de sexe et de race/ethniques. Dans des contextes locaux, nationaux ou globaux, on pourrait aborder : les besoins et/ou l’impact des droits légaux et de protection ; l’impact des politiques corporatives, étatiques ou de développement sur le mieux-être des femmes (ou leur exclusion) ; la récession économique ; la segmentation du marché de travail ; l’organisation des travailleurs/euses ; l’informalisation du travail des femmes.
