In 12 chapters, business, management, and other scholars from Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada consider how feminism and queer theory can organize Critical Management Studies differently to re-articulate the political goals of social justice and challenge marginalization, the categorization of social minorities, and oppression. They examine Critical Management Studies' whiteness; why the field lacks an orientation to achieve pragmatic change, as well as its marginalization of the subaltern; activism in business classrooms; the marginalization of Muslim women in North America; feminist theory in the context of the global financial crisis; the process of feminist Critical Management Studies writing “with animals”; the processes involved in making, in the context of the work of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick; and queer thought in Critical Management Studies.
