Areas of Excellence: a 360° expertise for an impactful Research
The World We Want
Inclusion, equality, and diversity
Objectives
No poverty, gender equality, reduced inequalities are the UNO sustainable development goals we chose to address social problematics like marginalisation manifested in formal and informal organisational settings, or dealing meaningfully with social inequalities in organisations and the broader society. This subarea aims to promote scholarly debate and develop impactful research projects around questions of equality, diversity and inclusion in organisations, including academia.
Looking forward, the aim of this sub-area is to invigorate critical academic debates on the above-identified subjects of interest through a variety of school-specific and international events, such as R&R workshops, writing retreats, seminars and Editorial talks, bringing together colleagues with shared research interests. With openness to the international academic community and a restless curiosity for exposure to a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives, this sub-area seeks to ignite multidisciplinary research endeavours invested in finding meaningful solutions to societal grand-challenges.
Ongoing research projects include:
- How to foster the voicing behavior of employees with disabilities and chronic diseases?
- How to integrate women in male dominated organizational settings?
- How to develop diversity in leadership?
- What are the socio-professional trajectories of refugees in western countries?
