Interplay for change in equality, diversity and inclusion studies
探讨平等、多样性与包容性研究中理论与实践脱节的问题，提出不同范式下的“行动知识”在变革议程下是可通约的，通过本体论和意识形态的互动可产生第五种知识以应对不平等。
In equality, diversity and inclusion studies, there is often an underlying assumption that research will advance equality and inclusion. Yet scholars increasingly point to a gap between theory and practice to achieve change. While paradigmatic differences in how change is framed may in part account for this gap, we argue that ‘action knowledges’ drawn from different paradigms are both important and ‘commensurable’ once a change agenda is adopted. Placing these in tension, we develop an interplay requiring scholars to engage differences in both ontology and ideology to ‘see’ the change knowledge in other paradigms. A ‘fifth knowledge’ for research to combat inequality and contribute to more equitable organizations can result from engaging with the dynamic tensions identified in our analysis.
