In this chapter we discuss how examining diversity in organizations from critical
perspectives influences all phases of the research process. It affects the framing of
research questions, the selection of research strategies, the collection of sources and
analysis of data, the assessment of the role of the researcher and the theoretical
contribution the research makes. Examining diversity in organizations from critical
perspectives calls for research questions that, for example, examine organizational
norms, reveal the intersection of different identity categories, or examine the interplay
between agency and structure. They authors plea for taking the empirical perspective of
the marginalized ‘other’ in the centre of the analysis and for an active reflection upon the
role of the researchers in producing knowledge. Such an approach would takes both the
agency of the researcher and the examined into consideration.
