Diversity Research Group

Description

The Diversity Research Group brings together researchers from the Department of Organizational Psychology and the Department of Management with a common interest in diversity in the workplace. It provides a supportive environment for developing collaborative funding proposals and publications, for receiving feedback on works in progress from a group of 'critical friends', and for mentoring less experienced researchers.

The Diversity Research Group supports decolonisation of the the curriculum by encouraging the mainstreaming of diversity research and diverse scholarship within its teaching and it seeks to foster research that can be translated into practice.

The group's research addresses (in)equality in the workplace along social categorisations such as gender, age, race and ethnicity, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity and class. Some of the group's work focuses on knowledge construction, using a diversity lens. The Diversity Research Group is mindful of the importance and effect of language around these issues and of the need for critical reflection on how terms and labels are used in within these broad themes.

The group employs a wide range of approaches in its work: quantitative and qualitative methods, experimental and field research, online and visual data. Where applicable, the group's research design includes examining ways in which its research might have impact on practice.
