{"title":"Stained glass ceilings: Gender and race in accounting academia in Brazil","authors":"Sandra Maria Cerqueira da Silva,&nbsp;Silvia Pereira de Castro Casa Nova","doi":"10.1111/gwao.13201","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gwao.13201","url":null,"abstract":"<div>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Brazil is divided into five large regions marked by profound economic and social inequalities. Such vast differences can make people feel like “foreigners”, even though they live in the same country. Here, meritocracy is seen as the criterion for assessing and promoting people, which is conflicting given the absurdly unequal contexts in the country. This choice widens inequalities of gender, race and, above all, social class. Between 2000 and 2018, Brazil experienced profound social transformations. Female participation in the labor market grew, although there were still barriers to access and professional advancement for women, which were exacerbated in the case of black women. When it came to leadership positions, they were almost always blocked by processes which depended on subjective decisions from evaluators. These circumstances occur through daily confrontations with processes of sexualisation and racialisation. These transformations were followed in the most recent period by clear setbacks, deepened by the COVID-19 pandemic and intense political polarization. A milestone in terms of <i>Esperançar</i>, a verb proposed by Paulo Freire (1992), were the 2022 presidential elections, understood as a process of re-democratisation. The social achievements that have been maintained, however, are ‘advances’ that work differently when the diversity of the population and regional differences are taken into account. With this particular context in mind, the aim of this study is to investigate how the “glass ceiling” phenomenon has been present in the daily interactions and academic trajectory of black women in the accounting field. The question that underpinned this study was: how can the academic accounting environment, considering practice and discourse, boost or hinder the “glass ceiling” phenomenon in the professional career of black female academics? This is a qualitative study with a post-structuralist approach, based on the adoption of auto-ethnographic and oral history techniques. The evidence was built up through semi-structured, in-depth interviews with female academics who had graduated from postgraduate programmes. This corpus was analyzed from an interpretivist perspective and the findings reveal that the “glass ceiling” phenomenon is present in accounting academia in Brazil and is expressed in barriers specific to the field. Barriers are erected in processes of closure, blocking the path of black women who aim to succeed in prestigious academic spaces, regardless of their level of qualification. In this way, they are conceptualized as “stained glass ceilings”, because the barriers become visible and concrete in a country where racism is a structuring element of social relations.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48128,"journal":{"name":"Gender Work and Organization","volume":"32 3","pages":"1263-1288"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143831050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the trajectory of a male child with effeminate traits can unveil practices of various institutions regarding boys and men with these characteristics, bringing to light organizational practices that are not limited to homophobia but also to “effeminophobia.” This autoethnography is an exercise in reclaiming one's own history, marked by violent exclusions, domination, and subjugation, with the aim of explaining how heterosexual normativity impacts the bodies and subjectivities of effeminate individuals. This account begins in the 1990s in the city of Barra do Piraí, a locality located in the interior of Rio de Janeiro, which was governed by male domination and influenced by a colonial culture. In this context, it is important to note that I do not consider it possible to define a period for analysis in terms of years, but rather within a biological time frame, encompassing the stages of life. Therefore, this delimitation begins in childhood and extends into adulthood. This autoethnography is dedicated to discussing effeminophobia directed toward children and adults in various institutions, especially in the workplace. To do so, it utilizes the social and professional trajectory of a young gay man who managed to become an adult.</p>","PeriodicalId":48128,"journal":{"name":"Gender Work and Organization","volume":"32 3","pages":"1392-1406"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143831172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Historically, much of this research has focused on populations in industrialized nations, predominantly involving white-collar workers in formal economic sectors. However, similar issues are also pertinent to women in emerging markets and developing countries who are employed in blue-collar, nonmanagerial, low-paid, and low-skilled occupations, often within informal economies. Despite their relevance, these populations have received limited attention in empirical studies published by GWO. In this commentary, I aim to highlight the experiences of these women—whose labor is essential to their societies and the socio-economic well-being of their home countries, yet is often marked by labor rights abuses, exploitation, gender-based violence, racism, and xenophobia. Their voices are rarely heard in academic discussions on gender, work, and organization studies. As an associate editor of GWO, I urge gender researchers to include these women in their research, and I encourage scholars from other disciplines to engage in transdisciplinary projects that amplify the voices of women traditionally marginalized in academic gender discourses.</p><p>In 2014, I relocated to Panama to assist my school in France in establishing connections with business schools across Latin America. During my time in Panama and other Latin American countries, I was struck by the prevalence of domestic workers in private households, providing care services such as cleaning, cooking, and caring for children or elderly family members. The majority of these domestic workers were women. The dominance of women in the caregiving sector is not unique to Latin America. In 2021, of the 75.6 million domestic workers worldwide, 76.2% were women (International Labor Organization, <span>2024</span>).

This paper offers a new methodological approach for studying hegemonic masculinity. Specifically, we analyze how multiple forces at the <i>structural</i>, <i>interpersonal</i>, and <i>individual</i> levels work together as a system of oppression. As our case study, we focus on African bachelors who have migrated to South Korea to fill the demand for 3-d (dirty, difficult, and dangerous) labor. By analyzing 30 interviews and two years of ethnographic observation of African migrants in Korea, our study demonstrates how migrant men become trapped by their desires to perform their masculine worth as reliable wage laborers, even at the cost of their physical and emotional well-being. While past studies on undocumented migrant workers in Korea have highlighted their heightened exposure to institutional violence, we shed light on how structural forces also bleed into the private spaces of everyday life, shaping the intimate relationships and personal desires of marginalized men themselves.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48128,"journal":{"name":"Gender Work and Organization","volume":"32 3","pages":"1192-1218"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143831105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
