At CRIW we seek to conduct research that supports the workplace inclusion and advancement of peoples of all gender identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations. Among other activities, this may include studies that support the advancement of women, the recognition of a range of masculinities, or the inclusion of LGBTQ2+ individuals in the workplace.
Within CRIW’s research stream, The Influence of Gender at Work, some studies and/or researchers may focus on individuals of only one gender identity, while others may approach gender through an intersectional lens. Regardless of the specific approach taken, the belief that organizations will miss out on committed employees, innovative ideas, and attractive opportunities if they do not adopt inclusive hiring practices and offer workplace cultures, career paths and benefits that are attractive to all employees, regardless of gender identity.
“I am working on research that exposes the gendered nature of organizational structures and practices. I hope this supports individuals in crafting their own unique life path that allows them to successfully integrate their personal and work lives.”
Dr. Merridee Bujaki, Professor of Accounting, Sprott School of Business
