Gendered Inequalities: A Comparative Analysis of Gendered Experiences of Inequality in Technology in Egypt and the United Kingdom
基于对埃及和英国科技行业员工的深度访谈,比较了不同文化背景下女性在职场中经历性别不平等的差异,揭示了文化背景和行业动态如何塑造这些经历。
ABSTRACT Inequality experiences are strongly gendered and context‐specific. Drawing on semi‐structured in‐depth interviews with technology industry employees in Egypt and the United Kingdom, this article explores intersectionality and the contextuality of gendered inequalities. It investigates how context shapes gendered experiences of inequality and how this plays out at the workplace. The paper offers a cross‐cultural comparison which shows that the experiences of women in tech reflect the cultural construction of gender roles and the sectoral dynamics. By contrasting the Middle Eastern context of Egypt and the Western context of the United Kingdom, the article unpacks the complicated influence of cultural contexts on the experiences of women in tech and shows that inequality is individually unique, complex, and contextual. The study reveals the mechanisms by which contextual gender dynamics shape the workplace experiences of inequality, and the relational and complex nature of intersectionality.
