Gender equity in semi and professional football workplaces - call for participation in a special study
19 October 2019
Gabrielle Salomon of Manchester Metropolitan University is a PhD student investigating the effectiveness of gender equity initiatives in semi and professional football workplaces in England, Scotland, Ireland, Canada and USA.
She has reached out to Women in Football in the hope that you may be able to help by participating in a special study she is undertaking.
Gabi explains: "As sports institutions become more committed to the development of gender equity it is crucial this also occurs for the non-playing roles in the organisation as well.
"With initiatives like the Premier League Equality Standard (PLES), MLS Works ‘Soccer For All’, Irelands 20x20 and the FA Diversity & Inclusion Plan, it is important to see if there are any links cross-nationally that can be made.
"I'd like to invite participants to take part in my study. For this, I need semi and professional football clubs to provide full-time employees in entry to middle management roles to participate in an online questionnaire.
"The benefits of participating in this study include allowing clubs to maintain dominance of staying ahead with demonstrating their commitment towards gender equity in all areas of sport."
If you or your club are interested in taking part, please contact: Gabrielle Salomon via email at gabrielle.a.salomon@stu.mmu.ac.uk.
