Abstract
This symposium aims to deepen and expand our understanding of the relationship between the way organizations and managers understand and provide narratives related to inequality and their subsequent diversity practices. The four papers presented in this symposium offer new theoretical insights and mechanisms for the conditions under which organizations are more (less) apt to redress inequality. This symposium brings together strategic management scholars, economic sociologists, and organizational behavior scholars investigating, with a wide range of methods (qualitative, observational, and experimental), inequality in the workplace. We believe this symposium will generate an insightful discussion and fuel further inquiry into the role organizational narratives play in perpetuating inequality.
