Contextualising Men, Masculinities, Leadership and Management: Gender/Intersectionalities, Local/Transnational, Embodied/Virtual, Theory/Practice

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This article focuses mainly on men, masculinities, and leadership, though connections with management are also considered. This emphasis is partly because there has been more critical attention to the gendering of men and masculinities in management than the more specific area of leadership. Following discussion of the broad fields of, first, organization, leadership, and management, and, second, gendering and non-gendering, a personal reflection on this area is used as a prelude to examining recent developments in Critical Studies on men and masculinities. This is followed by discussion of three neglected aspects or absences: gender and intersectionalities; localization and transnationalization; and embodiment and virtualization. The article concludes with remarks on the importance of the relations of theory and practice.
