Abstract
In the last twenty years, the Gender, Work, and Organization (GWO) Journal has made a significant contribution towards advancing the field of social science inquiry. As the GWO journal has grown in institutional strength, it has facilitated the organization of a biennial international interdisciplinary conference series, alongside an international workshop programme. Conference themes cover a wide variety of issues in the field of gender, work, and organization emerging from recent scholarship in the field. This report is an analysis of what the conference, and its contents, depicts about the field of gender, work, and organization in contemporary times. I present an overview of how the field has developed in the last 20 years, followed by an analysis of what the 6th biennial GWO conference suggests about where the field is, where it may be headed, and some consideration for future developments.
