Faculty of Business & Law academic leader Dr Jane Neal-Smith co-edits and is a contributing author for new aviation book.
Date: 22/08/2014
Dr Jane Neal-Smith, academic leader within the Guildhall Faculty of Business & Law, has been working with colleagues in Canada and Australia as co-editor and contributing author of Absent Aviators, Gender Issues in Aviation.
The book consolidates a diverse range of issues from a number of authors from Australia, Austria, the United States, Canada, South Africa and the United Kingdom. Each of the chapters is research-based and aims to present a broad picture of gender issues in aviation, gendered workplaces and sociology, underpinned by sound theoretical perspectives and methodologies. The book will prove to be a valuable contribution to the debates on women in masculine-oriented occupations and a practical guide for the aviation industry to help overcome a looming pilot shortage.
