> Inclusion at Work

> Rawstron, University of Wollongong, Australia
>
> Stream Outline:
> There are many axes of differentiation and difference in the workplace,
> of which race is one of the most prominent. Race, although widely accepted
> as a social construction, has real and significant effects. These effects
> are ongoing, contradictory, often self-reinforcing, and performed by
> social actors, alongside the macro social institutions and micro daily
> activities (Haney Lopez 1995). In addition, few people recognize the depth
> of race and racism (Haney Lopez 1995; Tyagi 1996; Spears 1998), which can
> complicated the experiences of those who are already marginalized in
> larger
> society.
>
> This stream invites theoretical and empirical papers which explore
> aspects of ethnicity and race in employment, particularly from an
> intersectional perspective. We welcome papers from researchers and
> practitioners; from insiders and outsiders both, dealing with aspects of
> racial and ethnic inclusion in a range of occupations, groupings, and
> countries. We are interested in the challenges that people face when
> approaching research, and how they handle issues of inclusivity and
> belonging, including their own struggles with how they are perceived or
> perceive their subjects (Knowles 2006). Potential themes could include the
> intersection of race with sexuality or ability in work, empirical studies
> of insiders and outsiders within particular occupations and nations, or
> self-reflective and methodological papers on how the notion of
> insider/outsider can be complicated in working towards equality.
>
> Some questions we seek to address include:
> ? How does race work to construct insider and outsider positions within
> employment?
> ? How have these perspectives changed over time?
> ? How can workplaces become more inclusive and diverse with respects to
> ethnicity?
> ? How can we, as researchers, be sensitive to and enhance their own
> reflectivity on insider/outsider identity?
> ? To what extent does intersectionality impact upon the creation of
> insider/outsider identities within employment?
>
> Key words: race, ethnicity, insider, outsider, belonging We seek full
> drafts of papers by 1 February 2013. Please see the EDI website for
> more details on submission:

> Publication plans: Papers presented could potentially be submitted to a
> special edition of the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion journal.
