| Title | Sexual harassment in open plan office environments |
| Summary | This thesis discusses the phenomenon of sexual harassment within a particular work environment, with special attention to spatial arrangements and networking dynamics. It offers a sociological analysis using interviews and theorists of social spaces, to argue that the open plan office works as an environment which in some sense divorced from the formal world of legal regulation. The open office is presented as an example of what Foucault would call micropower, which regulates between and around existing legal frameworks, operates informally, through networks, space and practices. I examine the phenomenon of sexual harassment within this environment, which is seemingly missing from the existing literature. |
