Synopsis

Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) have become features of organizations as a result of both legal and societal advances as well as neoliberal economic reasoning. While current research approaches frequently fall short of addressing the challenges faced in EDI research, this benchmark Handbook brings coverage of research methods in EDI up to date, and advances the development of research in the field. Bringing together well-known academics and researchers, this Handbook is a distillation of current and novel research in the field of EDI. Chapters present groundbreaking new research and methodological perspectives on international, regional and national issues, from equal opportunities and gender mainstreaming to managing diversity in legal, political and socio-economic contexts. Alongside this, the authors discuss new analytic directions to advance empirical EDI research. This Handbook will help to shape the present and future EDI discourse. The book is an invaluable addition to the current literature, particularly for students of EDI and researchers working in the fields of human resource management, strategic management and organization, and culture and change management as well as entrepreneurship and marketing.

About this title

Review:

‘Despite the depth and volume of research on diversity in organizations, very little attention is given to research methods. The Handbook of Research Methods in Diversity Management, Equality and Inclusion at Work breaks new ground, providing a comprehensive volume of not just methods but also the social and political context in which diversity research is embedded. Particularly impressive is the “diversity” of epistemological perspectives so critical to today’s global and transnational context.’ Author: Stella Nkomo, University of Pretoria, South Africa
