Through a deep dive into specific ‘problem’ representations in the policymaking on anti- sexual harassment at workplaces (SHW) in India, this book makes broader sense of gendered, caste-based and colonial regimes of power. The author takes a poststructuralist feminist approach to illustrate how these policies disregard collective action and function as gendering and caste-ing practices. The book posits that India’s anti-SHW policies produce specific ‘problems’ and subjects while neglecting certain other ‘problem’ and subject formulations. The author offers guidelines for how diverse subjects must be given equal epistemic credibility to make the policy milieu intersectionally equitable. This book will be of interest to scholars and policymakers in the fields of Gender Studies, Law, Sociology, and Organizational Studies.
