Eurhythmia and Arrythmia: Understanding Gendered Performances through Rhythm in the City of London

Room for diversity: a review of research and industry approaches to inclusive workplaces

“…The second most studied type of diversity is gender, which is specifically the focus of four papers (Reddy, 2022;Migliore et al, 2022;Marzban et al, 2022;Nash, 2021) and is mentioned by two papers (Appel-Meulenbroek et al, 2020;Kwon, 2020). Sexual orientation and family status, all of which encompass the way people express themselves and relate with each other in private life spheres, do not seem to be objects of scientific research yet for what concerns workplace design and strategy, except for one paper (Willis, 2009).…”

“…We infer from here that the typology of an office is crucial in enabling novel attitudes. Nash (2021) analyses the spatio-temporal rhythm of workers in the City of London, arguing that the way people walk and move around the urban setting reflects the organizational place as being inclusive or exclusive. The author interprets the organizational place looking beyond the spatial configuration of a single company to encompass the wider geographical location of organisations within a city, in this case, London.…”

“…For instance, one paper hints at the fact that when an office is located in an isolated area, it requires safe and secure transport arrangements especially for women (Reddy, 2022). Nash (2021) takes the whole City of London as the context of study. In its autoethnographic analysis, the author pays particular attention to materiality: the architecture and the placing of objects around the city do have an impact on the flows and rhythms of space and the behaviour of human actors.…”
