SIG 05: Gender, Race, and Diversity in Organisations (GRDO)
The aim of the Gender, Race, and Diversity in Organisations (GRDO) Strategic Interest Group (SIG) is to advance and disseminate new scholarship and debates, which address all forms of inequalities in the global political economy. In addition, SIG aims at addressing how policy measures may be devised to nurture the inclusion of marginalized voices and work towards the social justice and well-being of all individuals and communities. GRDO covers all knowledge and content relating to gender, race, and diversity within and outside organizational boundaries, including cultural, societal, political, and geographical levels, to illustrate the intersecting dynamics of differences on a number of scales.

SIG General Track
05-00 Gender, Race and Diversity in Organisations – GRDO SIG General Track
Consistent with the aims of the Gender, Race, and Diversity in Organisations (GRDO) SIG, this General Track seeks to advance and disseminate new scholarship and debates, which address all forms of inequalities in the global political economy. The GRDO SIG General track also addresses how policies may be devised to nurture the inclusion of marginalized voices to achieve social justice and well-being of all individuals and communities. The GRDO SIG General Track covers all topics relating to gender, race, and diversity within and outside organizational boundaries, including cultural, societal, political, and geographical contexts, to illustrate the intersecting dynamics of differences on a number of scales.
We value theoretically inspired papers based on leading social commentators and empirically based research. We encourage contributions from scholars from a broad range of disciplines: management, HRD/HRM, economics, psychology, women's/ men's/ gender studies, geography, sociology, and development. We welcome conceptual and empirical papers and studies of single countries and comparative research.
Topics related to the general track and the SIG overall are as follows:
· Women in management and boards.
· Cultural diversity in organizations;
· Sexual orientation and gender identity at work.
· Migrant workers, expatriates, and self-initiated migration.
· Critical perspectives on gender, race, and diversity.
· Gender, race, and diversity in public, private, transnational, international organizations and NGOs.
· Feminist, race, ethnicity, and organization theories, broader social theory- i.e., intersectionality, critical race studies, post-colonialism, transnationalism.
· Gender, education, learning, development, and empowerment.
· Women's leadership and career development.
· Social movements for human rights, political change, and democratization.
· Religion, culture, and organization development/HRD.
· Institutional and governance regimes for managing equality and diversity, especially in former communist regimes.
· International labour codes & governing policy perspectives on gender, race, diversity, and inequality (i.e. ILO codes, UN declarations).
