  1. “Men Wanted”: Heterosexual Aesthetic Labor in the Masculinization of the Hair Salon.Kristen Barber - 2016 - Gender and Society 30 (4):618-642.
    This article builds heterosexuality into the concept of aesthetic labor to better understand corporate efforts to construct gendered brands and consumer identities. By theorizing heterosexual aesthetic labor, I show how two men’s salons, Adonis and The Executive, hire for, develop, and mobilize the sexual identities and gender habitus of straight and conventionally feminine women to masculinize the hair salon. Drawing from ethnographic observations of and interviews with employees and clients at these men’s salons, I move the discussion of aesthetic labor (...)

Given the highly sensitive and sexualized nature of gynaecological cancer, this requires explanation. These findings can be partly (...)

  • “It’s the Knowledge That Puts You in Control”: The Embodied Labor of Gynecological Educators.Kelly Underman - 2011 - Gender and Society 25 (4):431-450.
    Studies have recently begun to attend to the ways paid labor is embodied. However, the literature on embodied labor has not adequately addressed occupations for which the site of labor is the worker’s own body. One such occupation is that of gynecological educators—female-bodied instructors who teach breast and pelvic examinations to medical students using their own bodies as models. Drawing on interviews with current and former gynecological educators and professional directors, I ask how workers use their bodies to produce legitimated (...)
