Abstract

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.
