| The election of Donald Trump as President of the U.S. has divided the nation and sent shockwaves around the world. As a community of scholars, we are particularly concerned for underrepresented and marginalized groups such as women, immigrants, racial and religious minorities, and LGBTs. Given the relative importance of the topic to management, organizations, employers, workers, and society at large, the purpose of this panel symposium is to engage a group of diversity panelists in a formal, moderated, interactive discussion of (1) the effect of a Trump Presidency on equality and diversity; (2) the panelists' interpretation of them; (3) coming to terms with the election outcome and coping with backlash; (4) the possibility of locating a common ground between progressives and conservatives; and (5) how it affects our work as a community of scholars. |
