Gendering environmental sustainability and organization: Introduction

This Special Issue brings together a collection of six papers to provide space for the exploration of gendered and feminist approaches to environmental sustainability, and to generate fresh insights into studies of work and organization in the context of environmental crises. The collection traverses disciplines and geographies to include philosophical, theoretical and empirical papers underpinned by a central question: How can gender-focused studies of work and organization contribute to our understanding of issues relating to the environment, sustainability and social justice? The papers cover how we might reimagine the Anthropocene and how discourses of ‘sustainability’ and ‘development’ are gendered; they argue for interconnectedness, and for the inclusion of care and of the social in a re-visioning of a more sustainable world.
