Kurzbeschreibung: The key objective of the BOARDEQUALITY project is to develop a better understanding of women’s access and contribution to corporate boards, and to contextualize this understanding using an internationally comparative approach. We draw on institutional and organizational theories to explain the persistent underrepresentation of women in the upper echelons of organizations. The project combines an internationally comparative analysis of quantitative data with in-depth national case studies based on qualitative research. In a first step, by means of a systematic literature review, we develop a detailed research agenda that will allow us to generate new knowledge on women’s access and contributions to boards. Second, we undertake an internationally comparative analysis of the relationship between the representation of women on boards and women in management, as well as between the representation of women on boards and the existence of diversity policies in firms. This analysis shows to what extent increasing women’s representation on boards contributes to gender equality in organizations more generally, thereby illuminating the impact for working women. The third step in this project is a case study of women on supervisory boards in Germany. An in-depth examination of women’s access to boards over time highlights through which paths women have made inroads to the top levels of organizations. Women’s contributions to boards are the key focus of qualitative research interviews with women directors about their experiences and views.

Kurzbeschreibung: The dissertation analyzes the situation of migrant workers from Bolivia in the Argentinian fashion industry from an anthropological perspective with a focus on gender relations, taking into account theories of transnationalism and intersectional inequality and employing ethnographical fieldwork with narrative interviews. The situation of migrant garment workers in Buenos Aires is shaped by inequality that displays on local, transnational and global levels. The global garment industry is characterized by especially precarious working condition and tendencies towards subcontracting. Argentina’s garment sector has been shaped by these global tendencies but also by transnational aspects of mobility that link Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru in a ‘transnational space of fashion’. The border-crossing mobility of involved social actors has constructed transnational social networks nourishing the demand for cheap migrant labor for the local fashion production in São Paulo and Buenos Aires. While the precarious working conditions and exploitation within the fashion industry has been emphasized in previous academic research, the ethnographic research at the core of this investigation aims at detecting possibilities of agency as well as social- and spatial mobility within this particular context and across national and imaginary borders. Gender relations are further focused for their relevance in both, migration and work at the “global assembly line” that construct an intersectional scheme of inequality shaping the specific situation of female migrant garment workers from Bolivia in Buenos Aires.

Kurzbeschreibung: Under which conditions does ‘bridging’ occur between the countryside and the urban centers in conflicts over socio-environmental inequalities related to food production relations? What prevents it from happening? There is a significant gap in the literature in political sociology on processes of ‘bridging’ and ‘brokerage’ across sites where problems arise and are addressed, from the local to global scales. When these processes are addressed in the literature, an intersectional analysis is missing. Often, women are attributed a leading role in grassroots mobilization whereas global agents and brokers are mostly associated with dominant masculinities. I address three aspects of the research problem. The first is the different categories of actors along lines of social class, gender and ethnicity who participate in interconnected struggles. The second is the multiple scales in which linkages between rural and urban sites take place, in the context of global food chains, ranging from processes at the local level, to those that reach the national political agenda and cross national borders. The third is the influence of different themes that make bridging either possible or unlikely to happen, including how the different materialities of nature intersect with social mobilizations. Following from the theoretical understanding that bridging conflicts depends on concrete actions from social actors while being challenged by disconnections that exclude places and actors from global chains, I will conduct extended case studies of successful wide coalition-builiding, namely, Wir haben es satt (Germany) and Marcha das Margaridas (Brazil).
