Abstract: This paper argues that, to fulfil the ambition to foster equality and social justice, diversity research should move outside the empirical and ideational boundaries of the firm, which have historically limited our knowledge production on diversity and social change. We first look back at 30 years of diversity research, reflecting on how the main theories, concepts and models of diversity are entangled with four root images of the firm – a neutral container, an economic entity, a cultural entity and a space of … Show more

“…In organization theory, there has been a long tradition of critical management as well as feminist scholarship that challenges the legitimacy of managerial power (e.g., Benschop, 2021;Collinson, 2020;Courpasson et al, 2021;Cutcher et al, 2020;Janssens & Zanoni, 2021). Scientific activism has also played a long-standing role in research on multistakeholder partnerships where some scholars have produced academic knowledge aimed at combining knowledge production with intervention in stakeholder negotiations (e.g., Gray, 2008).…”

“…Of pivotal importance here is a form of less visible diversity which has traditionally not received as much attention in the management literature as others: social class (Kish‐Gephart and Campbell, 2015; Romani et al, 2021; Savage, 2015; Zanoni et al, 2010). While socio‐political and even educational scholars have paid careful attention to class, the lesser attention in management research is perhaps unsurprising: diversity management as a discipline has been often criticized (Janssens and Zanoni, 2021; Kelly and Dobbin, 1998; Van Dijk et al, 2012) for its tendency to depoliticize diversity and inclusion by reframing it as a ‘business’ rather than as a normative or civil rights case. Indeed, one criticism of the diversity management literature is that it is blind to the structural advantages of class and to how class intersects with other individual characteristics within inequality regimes (Acker, 2006; Munir, 2020).…”

“…Yet, because of the combination of continuing long trends (e.g., globalization) and new emerging developments (e.g., platform economy), a growing share of economic activity takes place across and outside traditional organizational boundaries. Therefore, we call for organizational‐level diversity research that develops and improves our understanding of how these increasingly important contexts (Janssens and Zanoni, 2021) relate to diversity and inequality.…”
