Webinar synopsis
The panel discussion will engage with decolonial and pluriversal perspectives to problematise scholarship on gender in management and advance scholarship in this area by broadening the conceptual, empirical and analytical scope of the field. The future of scholarly discussions about gender in management calls for more inclusive understandings of gender dynamics and gendering. Dominant discussions in the field have been criticized for promoting universalism, homogenisation and Western-centrism, and neglecting contextually situated entanglements of gender with race, class and other socially constructed categories of difference.
Decolonial perspectives call for a critical interrogation of how knowledge is articulated, consumed and disseminated in ways that reproduce hierarchies of power and oppression. At the heart of decolonial thought sit both a drive for epistemic fracture and a fight for epistemic justice through the interrogation of the European logics that have historically dominated discussions and ignored and silenced the voices of the Global South. These perspectives adopt an intersectional conceptualisation of gender dynamics and gendering that is more nuanced and inclusive.
The panel will focus on the following questions:
1) What are decolonial and pluriversal approaches and how can they contribute to the theoretical and empirical advancement of gender in management scholarship?
2) How can scholars in the field of gender in management engage with decolonial and pluriversal approaches?
