“…Australia, for example, runs a seasonal worker program employing workers from the South Pacific islands or Timor Leste for up to six months, mostly for seasonal work in horticultural industries.This government scheme was initiated to fill labor shortages (Department of Jobs and Small Business, 2019). Most seasonal workers are men, with women being less than 14% of the seasonal labor force (Chattier, 2019). Moreover, as families are not permitted to accompany seasonal workers, women remain caring for families in home countries.…”

The Routledge Handbook of Gender and Agriculture covers major theoretical issues as well as critical empirical shifts in gender and agriculture.Gender relations in agriculture are shifting in most regions of the world with changes in the structure of agriculture, the organization of production, international restructuring of value chains, climate change, the global pandemic, and national and multinational policy changes.This book provides a cutting-edge assessment of the field of gender and agriculture, with contributions from both leading scholars and up-and-coming academics as well as policymakers and practitioners.The handbook is organized into four parts: part 1, institutions, markets, and policies; part 2, land, labor, and agrarian transformations; part 3, knowledge, methods, and access to information; and part 4, farming people and identities. The last chapter is an epilogue from many of the contributors focusing on gender, agriculture, and shifting food systems during the coronavirus pandemic. The chapters address both historical subjects as well as ground-breaking work on gender and agriculture, which will help to chart the future of the field.The handbook has an international focus with contributions examining issues at both the global and local levels with contributors from across the world.With contributions from leading academics, policymakers, and practitioners, and with a global outlook, the Routledge Handbook of Gender and Agriculture is an essential reference volume for scholars, students, and practitioners interested in gender and agriculture.

“…Within the Asia-Pacific region, for example, the social order and respect of authority in Japan (Kolmaš, 2020), may both constrain and enable resilience in a culturally nuanced manner. Parallel to this example, strong gendered traditions and a collectivist orientation present in other cultures of Pacific Island and East Asian nations (Chattier, 2019;Woodhams et al, 2015) likely influence resilience, such that network leveraging may be prominent, particularly among family or inner network circles, and adaptability is constrained within traditional norms expectations, but nonetheless present and persistent.…”

This article examines how cultural contexts influence the demonstration of resilient behaviors of women senior managers in large organizations. We compare the experiences of Malaysian and Australian women overcoming key challenges and obstacles in their career journeys by engaging in the resilience strategies of network leveraging, learning, and adaptability. Our findings reveal the unique, complex, and contextual nature of career resilience, and show how resilience can be demonstrated, often differently, across culture and context. Our study adds to the existing body of literature in the areas of careers, gender in the workplace, and resilience, by highlighting how senior women sustain and navigate their career paths within the constraints of their socio-cultural contexts. Practical and scholarly implications are discussed.

“…Moreover, since existing such opportunities are fraught with power imbalances between worker and employer, worker exploitation and human rights concerns are arguably structurally embedded. Given that labor migration schemes are already known to consistently place the basic rights of workers at risk from exploitative work practices, as well as being, by design, socially detrimental to their families and communities (Felli, 2013;Costa Martin, 2018;Chattier, 2019) it seems reasonable to conclude that such programs could only begin to advance justice following significant reform to ensure human rights risks faced by workers are substantially reduced.…”

Climate mobility revolves around issues of justice and human rights, whether this be concerning its causes, expression or handling. This paper examines the justice-rights nexus as it relates to climate mobility, highlighting how the two spheres converge and diverge. It works with four case studies exploring the complexity of rights and justice in the climate mobility context. Our case studies are diverse, in terms of the mobility types concerned and the rights and justice-based issues involved. We show that conceptualizing or achieving just or righteous outcomes is neither certain nor a uniform pursuit when it comes to climate mobility. Rather, there are many divergences–by those who claim rights or justice, and those asked to respond. We present a complex and contested space, highlight the importance of approaching justice and rights matters contextually, and with special attention to particularities when climate mobility is at issue.
