“…Furthermore, as some within the field of HRD encourage a critical perspective (Bierema & D’Abundo, 2004; Callahan, 2007; Williams & Mavin, 2014), HRD scholars and practitioners can pursue critical inquiries that would identify and articulate the social injustice perpetuated through gender and diversity stereotypes in India. As a noncritical dominant paradigm orientation favors “the principle of performativity which serves to subordinate knowledge and truth to the production of efficiency” (Fournier & Grey, 2000, p. 17), a noncritical exploration of the gender and diversity challenges in India might fall short of questioning the power imbalances fueling the prejudices prevalent in the wider society.…”

The Problem Diversity and gender are contested topics in India. Although diversity means many things to many people, the meanings associated with diversity and the approaches to diversity management in India influence and are influenced by power structures and sociocultural values. Similarly, the intersection of gender with other diversity factors, such as caste, religion, or age, makes gender inequality a complex challenge in India. In the wake of globalization and changing nature of work, human resource development (HRD) professionals are faced with an ambitious task of unraveling these complexities and identifying effective ways to manage diversity and promote gender equality in organizations and in the Indian society at large. The Solution This issue is a significant step forward toward advancing gender and diversity theories and conceptual models and frameworks within the underlying sociocultural assumptions and beliefs in India. In doing so, the articles in this issue guide HRD professionals to undertake a multipronged (i.e., organizational, societal, national) and a critical inquiry into the challenges posed by gender and diversity in India. The Stakeholders HRD scholars and practitioners interested in research on global or international HRD would benefit from the theoretical and empirical work presented in this issue. Particularly, those who are interested in understanding the complex challenges posed by gender and diversity in India would learn how HRD models and theories apply to the unique sociocultural context of India. Also, the scholars from other social science disciplines who work on topics of diversity and gender would get a glimpse of how these topics manifest in an emerging economy like India.

“…HRD can move beyond a business case perspective, and beyond a corporate organizational context, toward the perspective of learning and social justice, and include broader organizational settings for research (Alhejji et al, 2016; Byrd, 2014a). HRD is already interdisciplinary and focused on positive research paradigms which transcend differences and seeks the experience of individuals and groups outside of the confines of organizational effectiveness and efficiency (Alhejji et al, 2016; Kasl & Yorks, 2016; J. Williams & Mavin, 2014).…”

This article reviews literature focused on diversity and inclusion in human resource development (HRD) journals. A focused analysis of articles published from 2010 to the present reveals shifting conceptualizations of diversity inside and outside the Academy of Human Resource Development. This integrative review summarizes the types of diversity articles presented and captures the frameworks, approaches, and foci of current diversity and inclusion research. The influence of social cognitive psychology becomes apparent, as the awareness of multiple identities and experiences becomes central to teaching and learning how to value diversity. The findings also suggest that research and practice in the context of marginalized communities, and non-Western countries, is crucial to broadening the scope of diversity and inclusion in both dominant and nondominant cultures. After categorizing the articles, a discussion of recent theories, pedagogy, and utility follows. The review concludes with a discussion of practice and research implications.
