Critical realism: the gendering of what we know

Abstract

This paper will attempt to explicate the contributory processes of gendering that are operant at a macro level of analysis. Specifically, we will focus on the academy in general, the managerial academy or business school in particular, and their roles in the production and diffusion of gendered knowledge in organizations. We will use the modal lenses of Critical Realism to show how much of the academy is unaware of their contribution to these gendering processes.
