WELCOME

Cape Breton University is proud to be hosting GWO2024 from June 17-20, 2024. We look forward to 5 days of robust conversation, learning, sharing and networking in the beautiful Cape Breton Island of Nova Scotia, Canada.

The Gender, Work and Organization (GWO) Journal and its conference have consolidated their role as international spaces on emerging issues related to gender studies. These spaces have been created to contribute to the continuous “debate and analysis of gender relations, the organization of gender and gender in organizations” and we invite you to continue this meaningful conversation with us in 2024.

GWO conference at CBU

OVERVIEW

The 2024 Gender, Work and Organization (GWO) conference will be hosted for the first time on Cape Breton Island at Nova Scotia, Canada. The conference theme is Imagining Decolonizing Knowledge Exchanges: Embracing the JEDDII Way (Justice, Equity, Diversity and Decolonization, Inclusion & Indigenization).

Launched in 1994, GWO provides an international forum for debate and analysis of contemporary issues affecting gender studies at work, in organizing work, and in jobs.

Conference Format

The #GWO2024 will be predominantly in-person, but there will be an option for online attendance. Keynotes will be delivered in a hybrid format and the majority of the streams as well as the collaborative events will be held in-person. Collaborative events will bring about an opportunity to network and collaborate with academic peers on various topics and put into action the many valuable discussions that will be taking place at #GWO2024.
