Untitled: Women’s Work

Untitled: Women’s Work is both scholarly art and artistic research using narrative inquiry, dance and film as research methodologies. In it women express what they hope for in a good job and the barriers they have encountered in searching for and keeping them. Specifically, the research has drawn out two themes: relationships (developed and negotiated in the situation of work and Self), and rhythms (of Self and work institution). Initial findings presented here suggest the continual establishment, disruption, negotiation and maintenance of rhythms and relationships in the work place has an impact on what makes a ‘good’ job.
