Enough is enough: Identifying and overcoming acts of anti-Black performative allyship in the peer-review process
运用批判种族理论,揭示同行评审中反黑人的表演性盟友行为如何阻碍黑人学术发展,识别三种具体行为,并通过叙事案例提出纠正步骤,对关注学术公平的管理学者有参考价值。
The purpose of our article is to provide insights as to how anti-Black performative allyship in the peer-review process obstructs the advancement of Black scholarship in management and organization studies (MOS). To accomplish this, we rely on critical race theory (CRT) to (1) contextualize and conceptualize anti-Black performative allyship within the peer-review process and explain its harmful effects; (2) identify three specific acts of anti-Black performative allyship within the peer-review process; (3) use narrative accounts to demonstrate our experiences with these acts of anti-Black performative allyship within the peer-review process; and (4) discuss corrective steps toward the realization of genuine allyship by MOS to advance Black scholarship. Theoretical implications are discussed.
