Reverse conference: "Women at Work: vulnerabilities, sexual harassment and reproductive health from an intersectional perspective"
Description:
Intersectionality seeks to explain how race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, age and other characteristics intersect and overlap with each other and affect the experiences of individuals or groups.
Discrimination in the form of "intersecting inequalities" based on a person's age, country of origin, disability, level of education or sexual orientation is a key determinant of both exposure to and experience of inequality at work. An intersectional approach is particularly useful when addressing how women are constructed as vulnerable subjects.
With this starting point, and under the title of "Women at Work: vulnerabilities, sexual harassment and reproductive health from an intersectional perspective", the AFIN research group of the UAB and the Human Resources, Work and Employment (HRWE) research group of the West England University (WEU) called upon their scientific community to produce potential research results on the topic "Intersectionality of women's vulnerabilities in the workplace" in the form of a reverse conference, from 24 January to 26 January.

The Centre for Sociological Studies on Everyday Life and Work (QUIT) of the UAB co-organises the conference entitled "Democracy at Work through Transparent and Inclusive Algorithmic Management" as leader of a consortium of five partners including the Centre for Social Innovation (Austria), the University of Copenhagen, Employment Relations Research Centre (Denmark), WZB Berlin Social Science Centre (Germany) and the Centre for Social Sciences, Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Hungary).
The meeting will take place on 26 January, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., in Madrid.

Aida Ponce del Castillo, researcher at the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI), will give the opening lecture and Óscar Molina, lecturer at the Department of Sociology at the UAB, will give a presentation on the INCODING project. The day will continue with four sessions in which the results of the project in the manufacturing and platform sectors will be presented, and two round tables will be opened with representatives of the social agents.
