Hi all,

I'm struggling with my dissertation proposal topic and wondered whether anyone could give me an angle?

I work in HR in an arts organisation. My supervisor would ideally like to look at something related to EDI (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion) which interests me, but I am being steered down the gender route and I am stuck. My organisation is predominantly female, we are small (<150 employees) but the senior management team is roughly a 50/50 male-female split.

My supervisor has suggested I could consider areas such as sexual stereotyping, harassment, maternity, etc. as well as considering the ability of women within the workforce to make it to the higher management level.

However, I want/need to add something to the research that's already out there and we already know that there are more men at the top of an organisation - so what other angle could I come at this from?

Any thoughts?

Obviously, I am a last minute merchant  - it's due in next week (3000 word inc literature review). So far, my reading has revealed very little that I didn't already know...

Thanks in advance!
