As a central theme in social science research of work and organisation, the study of gender has achieved contemporary significance beyond the confines of early discussions of women at work. Launched by Blackwell Publishing in 1994, Gender, Work and Organization was the first journal to provide an arena dedicated to debate and analysis of gender relations, the organisation of gender and the gendering of organisations. Now published by Wiley Blackwell, the journal has full ISI listing and is edited jointly by David Knights, Deborah Kerfoot and Ida Sabelis. The Gender, Work and Organization conference provides an international forum for debate and analysis of a variety of issues in relation to management, work and organisation, and to gender studies. The 2010 conference at Keele University welcomed over 330 international scholars from 37 nations. From papers presented at the conference, special editions of Gender, Work and Organization were prepared on topics including: Work/Life Balance, Leadership, Diversity and the Professions, State Employment and the Gender Pay Gap. It is anticipated that further special editions of the journal will be published from papers presented at the 2012 event. Visit: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/(ISSN)1468-0432
