The project aims to contrast the experiences and issues related to equality at work in terms of policy and regulation within the UK to other cases within Europe – France, the Netherlands, and Spain – which have made an explicit and concerted effort to engage with a more progressive and inclusive approach to equality. The project aims to understand how equality policies have developed across time within different national, institutional, and political contexts, and how the countries have engaged with the notion of equality at work in terms of its language, practice, and institutional sustainability.
Politics of Equality at Work
The Politics of Equality at Work is a three year project exploring how equality at work has developed across different national and institutional contexts. The research is being conducted by Professor Miguel Martinez Lucio, Dr Stefania Marino, and Dr Holly Smith (Research Associate) of the University of Manchester, in collaboration with Associate Professor Heather Connolly of the Grenoble Ecole de Management. The project is funded by the ESRC.
