A great article in @wesjnl.bsky.social by @emmabanister.bsky.social et al. on how digitalisation of work has reshaped or maintained the #idealworker norm maniesfesting differently for men and women -using #FlexibilityParadox as one of their theoretical framework! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
Video recording of my plenary talk at the recent Adapt conference on what workers want. The talk was based on my book The #FlexibilityParadox and what flexible working means for inequalities youtu.be/W5nEQ2zpWLM
It was a pleasure to present at this year's ADAPT conference on the theme of what do workers want. I've given a plenary talk on my book #FlexibilityParadox. Didn't realise my face wasn't shown while I was talking. 🤪
Grateful for @manyeekan.bsky.social and @sociologyoxford.bsky.social for hosting me yesterday to speak about my book the #FlexibilityParadox. We had a greart discussion with ideas around redefining "the worker", "work" and the future of society and work.
#FlexibilityParadox by @heejungchung.bsky.social - a must read for anyone interested in #flexibleworking #worklifebalance #genderequality research!
Prof @heejungchung.bsky.social gives a talk on her book #FlexibilityParadox at a @sociologyoxford.bsky.social seminar. #flexibleworking #genderequality #worklifebalance
Everyone at @ox.ac.uk - I'm giving a talk on my book the #FlexibilityParadox hosted by the lovely @manyeekan.bsky.social Monday 2nd of December 12pm at the Sociology Department seminar - so come join if you can!!
Updated list of my #FlexibilityParadox book tour of 2024. Okay most are done but some still left. See some of you in these events!
It was a great pleasure to give the plenary speech for this event. Great to see many trade unions working to provide workers with better access to, and better use of flexible/remote working arrangements so that it does not lead to further exploitation as I've noted in my book #FlexibilityParadox.
The #flexibilityparadox theory argues that flexible working can lead to workers working harder/longer, in both paid/unpaid work, exacerbating perceived work-family/privatelife conflict. However this paper shows how countries with generous family policies this isn’t necessarily the case! 2/🧵
So pleased to see this paper out @familyresearch.bsky.social exploring #familypolicy moderating the association between #flexibleworking & #worklifebalance #workfamilyconflict. It evidences how #flexibilityparadox & other negative unintended outcomes of flex work are due to policy/norm context 1/🧵
Both serve to exploit female labour better, and enables the persistence of gender inequality both at home and in the labour market. I speak about these issues in great length in my book the #FlexibilityParadox available: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1447...
