De-Gendering Gendered Occupations is a groundbreaking collection of essays that delves into the complex interplay between language, gender, and workplace discourse. Drawing from the fields of language and gender studies and workplace discourse, the book aims to challenge and dismantle hegemonic gendered norms that are often associated with traditionally female occupations.
The volume employs a diverse range of theoretical frameworks, including conversation analysis, pragmatics, and interactional sociolinguistics, to analyze data from various professions such as primary education, healthcare, and speech and language therapy across different geographic contexts. By examining mens linguistic practices in the first part and conducting a comparative analysis of male and female discourse in the second part, the book provides valuable insights into the ways in which cultural, professional, and gendered identities intersect for practitioners in these professions.
Through its exploration of these settings, the book offers readers a deep understanding of the complexities and challenges faced by practitioners in gendered professions. It sheds light on the ways in which cultural norms, professional expectations, and gender stereotypes shape discourse and perpetuate gender inequality. Moreover, the book raises important questions about the future of discourse around gendered professions and offers potential avenues for change.
De-Gendering Gendered Occupations is an essential resource for students and researchers in sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, gender studies, cultural studies, and professional discourse. It provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complexities of gendered occupations and offers valuable insights into the ways in which language and gender shape our understanding of work and professional identity.
