TLDR
In this article, an emic approach is proposed to identify emergent and situated categories of diversity ex post, as embedded in a specific time and place, and a five-step research guide is presented.Abstract:
This paper presents an emic approach, which is sensitive to the emergence of new categories of difference, in intersectional study of workforce diversity. The paper first provides a comprehensive review of the literature on diversity at work in the business and management field, identifying that this literature is predominantly etic in nature, as it focuses on pre-established, rather than emergent, categories of difference. Next, an emic approach to researching diversity at work is offered. In offering an emic approach, the key distinction the paper makes is the direction of the investigation. Unlike the dominant etic approach, which adopts pre-established (ex ante) diversity categories, the emic perspective proposed identifies emergent and situated categories of diversity ex post, as embedded in a specific time and place. In order to operationalize the emic approach, the use of the Bourdieuan theory of capitals is suggested, and a five-step research guide is presented.read more

The Theory and Praxis of Intersectionality in Work and Organisations: Where Do We Go From Here?
TL;DR: Intersectionality is understood as a metaphor (Cuadraz and Uttal, 1999; Acker, 2011), a concept (Knapp, 2005; Styhre and Ericksson-Zetterquist, 2008), a research paradigm (Hancock, 2007a; Dhamoon, 2011); an ideograph (Alexander-Floyd, 2012), a broad-based knowledge project (Collins, 2015), and an analytical sensibility (Crenshaw, 2015) as mentioned in this paper.
