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_03 – Role of Diversity, Equality and Inclusion in Careers and Leadership
Literature suggests that promoting diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) at all management and governance levels appears to play an important role in achieving organizations” strategic outcomes, as well as in fostering social impact and sustainable development. There is thus a vital need to examine the DEI dynamics in career development and leadership across organisations, industries, professions, institutions and geographies, to disentangle the existing barriers and identify workable solutions. In line with the EURAM 2025 theme of “Managing with Purpose” we invite contributions from a broad research areas to explore the Role of DEI in Careers and Leadership.

T05_04 -Embracing Diversity: Shaping the Future of Public Organizations
The track “Embracing Diversity: Shaping the Future of Public Organizations” invites contributions that connect diversity to public management. Despite numerous diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, inequalities persist. Aligning with the conference theme “Managing with Purpose,” this track welcomes studies showcasing the importance of diversity in enhancing public organization outcomes. Contributions related to any form of diversity that promotes a heterogeneous workforce are encouraged. In this respect, we seek case studies, empirical research, qualitative research, and theoretical proposals on diversity that generate value for the public sector, however, also, other sectors, such as the private sector or NGOs, are welcomed.
