    Beyond analytical dichotomies

    Abstract

    Management researchers habitually invoke analytical categories of difference – whether

    they be based on gender, race, or sexual identity – in responding to issues of systemic

    inequalities in organizational life. Poststructuralists and other critically orientated scholars

    have cited the myriad of trajectories through which analytical categories of difference

    reinscribe dichotomous modes of thinking and, therein, ignore the idiosyncrasies in

    human identification and human behavior. Extending from a poststructuralist standpoint,

    this article uses the question of sexual identity to advocate for the astute mobilization of

    'strategic essentialism'. Strategic essentialism serves as a means by which management

    scholars can tentatively engage with the research and the discourse that is reliant upon

    identity binaries, yet without reifying ideologically bifurcated identity classes.

     

    Keywords

    diversity, feminism, organization research, poststructuralism, sexuality in organizations,
