... The concept of gendered organizations (Acker, 1990) in mining is explored through studies of recruitment practices and skill shortages (Bryant and Jaworski, 2011;2012), career advancement (Moalusi and Jones, 2019), inequality regimes (Ringblom and Johansson, 2020), policy implementation (Pugliese, 2020;Johansson and Ringblom, 2017), managerial control (Eveline and Booth, 2002) and critical perspectives on gendered symbols, organizational discourse, interaction practices and organizational culture (Ringblom, 2022;Norberg and Fältholm, 2018).

Masculinity in mining is analysed in relation to technology (Rolston, 2010;Abrahamsson and Johansson, 2020;Großmann and Gullo, 2022), safety (Laplonge, 2014;Somerville and Abrahamsson, 2003;Sauer, 1992), class (Klubock, 1996), sexuality (Maake et al., 2021) and workplace culture (Somerville. ...
