50628 - Theorizing Gendered and Racialized Organizations and Processes

Description

This session examines theories of gendered (Acker 1990) and racialized processes (Ray 2019) in organizations. Participants on this panel will discuss how racialized and gendered processes become embedded in organizational procedures. Panelists will focus on workplaces, schools, and churches as central cogs in the production of racialized and gendered inequality. Possible topics included organizational responses to the increasing legal pressures targeting diversity, equity and inclusion policies, how racialized and gendered mechanisms intersect to produce harmful outcomes, processes of gendered and racialized organizations, and the ways broadly shared ideologies used to justify inequality. Panelists will also discuss the ways organizations can work to lessen inequalities.
