Beskrivning

Shortlisted for the EGOS Book Award 2026.How can diversity be practiced without reinforcing the very inequalities it aims to dismantle? In this book, Maddy Janssens and Chris Steyaert address this pressing question by critically examining the assumptions behind current diversity initiatives and turning to critical practice theory and queer theory for novel insights. Through imaginative concepts, inspiring illustrations, and an integrative case study within the dance world, the authors articulate the ‘conditions of possibility’ for a fresh, impactful alternative. This book advocates for a shift from individual efforts to collective practices, proposing a politics of organizational worldmaking oriented at multiplicity – a practicing of diversity that aspires to transformative change into livable and just work lives.

Recensioner i media

'The book is innovative by going beyond a mere critical take on DEI. It shows how we can rethink DEI work beyond seeing it as an HR issue, by combining practice theory (well known to many organisation studies scholars) and queer theory (which is still emerging as a scholarly approach in MOS at large, including for DEI scholars), and developing novel research designs on that basis... The book is an erudite, thoughtful, reflexive, and compelling attempt to reframe the fundamentals of how we study, theorize, and practice building more desirable futures for everyone.'
