“…In the next phase, common second-order concepts were merged and allotted a final theme (Mishra & Dey, 2022). When the first-order and second-order concepts concluded with theoretical saturation (Glaser & Strauss, 1967), the researcher proceeded to refine aggregate dimensions.…”

The present study attempts to theorize the phenomenon of empowerment of marginalized women in the context of social enterprises involved in sustainable business practices. To extract the deeper meaning of empowerment of such women, an inductive process using Gioia’s method was employed by interviewing 13 marginalized women working in the social enterprise ‘Phool’. The venture is involved in recycling sacred floral waste into incense sticks, organic fertilizers, and other sustainable packaging solutions. The findings of the study were built on the Social Identity Theory, which emphasizes the fundamental need to be a part of social groups. Our findings suggest that for marginalized women, empowerment manifests in dignity and honour, economic sovereignty and social admittance and embracement. The study contributes to the extant literature on women’s empowerment by intersecting with the phenomenon of marginalization in the context of social enterprise and explains how marginalized women experience empowerment at work.

“…Mishra and Dey (2022) state that while themes may originate from the context, they remain rooted within a theoretical perspective. The two themes that emerged from the narratives (a) permeating work–family boundaries and (b) reinforced gendered family roles, both of which increased work–family conflict, lead us to explore the many doubles bind that women are subjected to from the gender role and work–family boundary theoretical dimensions.…”

This study explores how Indian women academics navigated the responsibilities of home, care and paid academic work during the COVID-19 pandemic through the intersectional lens of gendered family role identity and work–home boundary theory. Using a qualitative interpretivist approach and thematic analysis, 30 women academics were interviewed on their work-from-home experiences. The findings show that women struggled to negotiate the increased work–family conflict due to reinforced gendered family role expectations and increasing invasion of work into home space. The study reveals the double bind whereby women are caught wanting to excel both at work and home. Flexible work options may not help Indian working women to achieve work–family balance due to the continued devaluing of care work and the subservient social status of women within the Indian family structure. Despite educational upliftment and financial independence, gender remains at the bottom of the intersectionality of various types of inequalities that affect Indian women academics.

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed gaps in global health governance, catalyzing proposals for a new WHO pandemic treaty. This paper investigates China’s stance on the treaty, recognizing it as reflective of many developing countries’ concerns, through a qualitative analysis of its interventions during the treaty’s drafting and negotiations and an examination of historical and geopolitical factors. Findings reveal China’s emphasis on respecting state sovereignty, differentiated obligations for developing nations, preventing stigma, and concrete capacity building—concerns shared across the Global South. Its posture balances pragmatism and principle, reflecting differentiated responsibilities as a major power and developing country along with philosophical divergences from Western legal thinking. While endorsing global cooperation, China insists on voluntary terms without impinging on policy space. Implications suggest that accommodating China’s concerns about invasive compliance mechanisms and inequitable burdens through flexible provisions can shape the treaty’s acceptance and architecture. Creative solutions reconciling sovereignty and collective action combined with concrete equity measures and depoliticized cooperation will determine the treaty’s success. China’s major role indicates its endorsement, representative of the Global South’s voice, is essential for an impactful pandemic treaty and reformed global health governance.
