GENDER, RACE AND DIVERSITY IN ORGANISATIONS SIG STANDING TRACKS
GT05_00 – Gender, Race and Diversity in Organisations General Track
The GRDO General Track aims to advance and disseminate new scholarship and debates, which address all forms of inequalities in the global political economy. In addition, it aims at addressing how policy measures may be devised to nurture the inclusion of marginalised voices and work towards the social justice and well-being of all individuals and communities. GRDO covers all knowledge and content relating to gender, race, and diversity within and outside organisational boundaries, including cultural, societal, political, and geographical levels, to illustrate the intersecting dynamics of differences on several scales.

ST05_02 – Diversity issues in cultural context
This standing track, sponsored by Gender, Race, and Diversity in Organization’s (GRDO) SIG, focuses on diversity, inclusion/exclusion and (in)equalities in management and organizations within and across different countries, socio-economic contexts and cultures. We invite submissions that address these topics by adopting a variety of perspectives, using different methodologies, and focusing on various contexts. By bringing together research from different national, social and cultural settings, this track advances conversations about the different approaches to the management of diversity that have emerged in different contexts and about the way the broader surroundings in which organizations are embedded affect diversity-related processes.

T05_05 – Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Sustainability-Exploring the link
Global climatic changes, resource depletion and social inequalities have expanded the scope of sustainable business practices. However, the associated challenges have prompted organisations to collaborate with diverse individuals and other stakeholders to achieve sustainability goals. Initiatives focused on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) can attract a wide talent pool and foster an environment that promotes justice and fairness, thereby facilitating sustainable outcomes. Understanding various approaches and facets of DEI and their relationship to the introduction and implementation of sustainable practices is crucial. By embracing DEI into sustainability efforts, organisations can drive transformative change and leverage social justice to address the diverse needs and concerns of communities

T05_06 – Role of Diversity, Equality and Inclusion in Careers and Leadership
Recent research suggests that promoting diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) at all levels of management and governance is likely to play an important role in achieving organizations’ strategic outcomes like innovation and market reach as well as in creating social impact and sustainable development. There is thus a vital need to examine the dynamics of DEI with respect to career development and leadership across organisations, industries, professions, sectors, institutions and geographies. In line with the EURAM 2024 theme of “Fostering Innovation to Address Grand Challenges” we invite contributions from a broad range of foci to explore the Role of DEI
