We invite you to join us for this exciting (in person) event hosted by the Centre for Research in Equality and Diversity (CRED) at Queen Mary University’s School of Business and Management, and the Gender in Management Special Interest Group of the British Academy of Management.
The event brings together leading interdisciplinary experts to explore actors and processes driving or impeding change in the field of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI), featuring a keynote address by Professor Maureen Scully (University of Massachusetts Boston, USA and Visiting Fellow with CRED). Professor Scully has written about inequalities and the ideology of meritocracy, tempered radicalism in the pursuit of social justice, insider change agents, and ecosystems of change agents coordinating across workplaces.
Additional panel speakers will draw on their topical expertise to discuss different change actors and processes, explore the broader socio-cultural forces that impede or enable workplace equality efforts, and debate opportunities and challenges for mobilising change at multiple levels. In the final part of the event, all participants will be invited to reflect on how their work relates to mobilising EDI change and contemplate future agendas for research and practice in the field.
PANEL DISCUSSION: The social, historical & cultural context of EDI change
Contributors: Professor Jo Littler (Goldsmith University), Professor Nelarine Cornelius (Queen Mary University of London), Dr Maria Adamson (CRED Co-Director, Queen Mary University of London).

Guest Speaker
Professor Maureen A. Scully
Professor Maureen A. Scully studies how the ideology of meritocracy is invoked to legitimate inequality in the United States and thereby impedes efforts to address poverty. She also examines how “tempered radicals,” working from inside traditional corporate and workplace locations, can engage in change efforts that make a difference and improve social justice.
Working with the Emerging Leaders Program at UMass Boston, she supports teams of mid-career professionals from the corporate, nonprofit, and government sectors who undertake projects to address affordable housing, economic development, and racial integration of communities.
She works with the Center for Social Policy to facilitate inclusive change processes that involve multiple stakeholders from the community. She is a coauthor of a textbook widely used in MBA programs, Managing for the Future: Organizational Behavior and Processes, now in its 3rd edition, and a coeditor of a volume on gendered approaches to work and change, Reader in Gender, Work and Organization. Her research has appeared in Academy of Management Journal, Human Relations, Journal of Applied Behavioral Science, Organization Science, Organization Studies, and Stanford Social Innovation Review.
