ABSTRACT
Motivated by statistics such as these, our specific (but not exclusive) concern is to contribute, through our research, writing and teaching, to the wellbeing of women and their dependants. Part of this concern is expressed through our focus on the career aspirations of women, and their outcomes in practice. For over a decade we have participated in discussions of career theory as a way of understanding and influencing discourses of justice in our own country (Aotearoa/NewZealand2) and in the international community’s engagement with the rapid globalisation of western corporate capitalism. Our interest in the relative influence of women and men to determine their own and collective wellbeing has drawn us to the diagnostic work and liberatory aspirations of critical theorists in the organisational disciplines.
