It's titled ‘Oh My God, You Are So Sexy’: Constructing sexuality through spatial aesthetics in women’s co-working spaces – and no, that’s not just clickbait 😏. It’s a powerful ethnographic exploration into how space isn’t just where you work—it’s how you're told to be a woman at work. 💼💋Authored by the brilliant minds of Sigal Sapir, Varda Wasserman, and Michal Frenkel, this paper, published in the prestigious FT50 journal Organization Studies 🏛️, takes us inside the velvet-draped, pastel-hued world of women-only co-working spaces. But don't let the plush couches fool you—these spaces are staging grounds for a radical reimagining of power, sexuality, and entrepreneurial identity.So what exactly is "spacing sexuality"? And how can an Instagrammable pink coffee corner both liberate and limit? 💅✨We'll unpack how these curated environments—part spa, part startup—are negotiating everything from sensuality to success, from sisterhood to the subtle pressure to smile... and sell. It's a dance of empowerment and paradox, and you're invited to the front row.👩‍🎓📖 A huge thank you to the authors for their daring and thoughtful research, and to SAGE Publications for bringing it to the world in this top-tier journal.👉 If you're hooked already, don’t forget to subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify, check out our YouTube channel Weekend Researcher 📺, and find us on Amazon Prime and Apple Podcast 🍏.
