30628 - New Sociological Approaches to Understanding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Description

This thematic session focuses on new approaches to understanding diversity, equity, and inclusion in relation to the 2025 ASA theme—the future of work. Panelists will discuss DEI-related phenomena from a work and organizations perspective, focusing on racialized expertise, racialized emotions, flexible work policies, and broader topics around organizations and inequality. We embrace an interdisciplinary approach to organizational DEI issues and bring scholars conducting DEI research in sociology, management, labor relations, and human resources.
