Gendered Talk at Work examines how women and men negotiate their gender identities as well as their professional roles in everyday workplace communication.

written accessibly by one of the field’s foremost researchers
explores the ways in which gender contributes to the interpretation of meaning in workplace interaction
uses original and insightfully analyzed data to focus on the ways in which both women and men draw on gendered discourse resources to enact a range of workplace roles
illustrates how a qualitative analysis of workplace discourse can throw light on the many ways in which workplace discourse provides a resource for constructing gender identity as one component of our complex socio-cultural identity
