GT 05_00 Gender, Race and Diversity in Organisations General Track
The aim of the GRDO General Track is to advance and disseminate new scholarship and debates, which address all forms of inequalities in the global political economy. In addition, it aims at addressing how policy measures may be devised to nurture the inclusion of marginalised 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 organisational boundaries, including cultural, societal, political, and geographical levels, to illustrate the intersecting dynamics of differences on several scales. We are keen to incorporate scholar’s work based on social theory, feminist theory and development theory that address how social justice and equality is understood and practiced in diverse cultural fields. Subjects can include:
- Femininities, masculinities and whiteness in organization and society
- Women and ethnic minorities in management and corporate boards
- Impact of intersectionality on ethnic minorities
- Women's leadership and career development
- Gender, race and diversity in diverse geographical and transnational contexts
- Gender, race and diversity issues in entrepreneurship and development
- Critiques of inequality in labour markets, including skilled migrants, refugees and the working
- poor
- Cross-cultural management and critical diversity studies
- Power, identity and diversity
- Gender and diversity across cultures
- Age diversity
- Faith based organisations and religious diversity
- Differently abled workers
- Cultural diversity at work/society and Intersectionality at work/society
- Sexual harassment and work-life balance
- Women, public administration and political leadership
- The politics of inequality and social justice
- Women's social movements, and the role of women's organizations in supporting social and economic development
- Women, post-colonialism and development
- Women, ethics and CSR
- Gendered critiques of the SDGs, UN and World Bank human development strategies Scholars of colour as leaders in education

ST 05_01 Women in Management, Work, and Organisation
This track, sponsored by the Gender, Race, and Diversity in Organization’s (GRDO) SIG, focuses on gender equality and women’s empowerment in management, work and organization. We invite scholars and practitioners to submit papers that address ‘women’ issues in organizations from a variety of different perspectives.

T 05_03 Diversity / identity / power: intersections of cross-cultural management
This track wishes to challenge cross-cultural management (CCM) knowledge from three intersecting angles, namely diversity, power and identity. As diversity research informs us, the perceptions and realities of difference are not power-free, and markers such as race, gender, ethnicity and religion and others contribute to inequalities in management, organizations, and beyond. This is not yet acknowledged by CCM, and traditional CCM focus groups and themes might have lost their relevance for the societal, organizational and managerial challenges ahead. For overcoming this limitation, CCM needs to acknowledge diversity, power and identity as part of the CCM responsibility, to focus on contemporary issues such as migration, religion, and to consider intersections of culture/identity, power and diversity. This might mean to focus on refugee movements instead of professional expatriation, to learn from diversity at home instead of describing cultural differences abroad, and to challenge commonplace cultural explanations as a power-mechanism by which some groups affirm their interest over others. Ideally, these contributions come from scholars currently locating themselves within AND outside the field of CCM/GRDO, so that we can have a stimulating and interdisciplinary debate.
