Feminism is a theoretical perspective and social movement that seeks to reduce, and ultimately eradicate, sexist inequality and oppression. Yet feminist research remains marginal in the most prestigious management and organization studies (MOS) journals, as defined by the Financial Times 50 (FT50) list. Based on a review of how feminism is framed in these journals (1990–2018), we identify three overlapping categories of how feminism is represented: (i) as a conceptual resource which is used to address specific topics; (ii) as an empirical category associated with the study of specific types of organization or organizing practice; and, rarely, (iii) as a methodology for producing knowledge. While feminist knowledge exists beyond these parameters, such as in the journal Gender, Work & Organization, we suggest that the relative absence of explicitly feminist scholarship in the most prestigious MOS journals reflects an epistemic oppression which arises from the threat that feminism presents to established ways of knowing. Drawing on Sara Ahmed's work, we use the ‘sweaty concept’ of dangerous knowledge to show how feminism positions knowledge as personal, introducing a radical form of researcher subjectivity which relies on the acknowledgment of uncertainty. We conclude by calling for the epistemic oppression of feminist scholarship to be recognized and redressed so the potential of feminism as a way of knowing about organizations and management can be realized. This, we argue, would enable feminist research praxis in MOS to develop as an alternative location of, in bell hooks' term, healing that challenges the main/malestream.

危险知识:管理与组织研究中女权主义研究的政治,个人和认识论承诺

女权主义是一种理论观点和社会运动,旨在减少并最终消除性别歧视和压迫。然而,在《金融时报》 50强(FT50)排行榜中,女权主义研究在最负盛名的管理和组织研究(MOS)期刊中仍处于边缘地位。根据对这些期刊(1990-2018年)中女权主义如何构成的回顾,我们确定了女权主义如何表现的三个重叠类别:(i)作为一种概念性资源,用于解决特定主题;(ii)作为与研究特定类型的组织或组织实践相关的经验类别;(iii)作为产生知识的方法很少。女权主义知识的存在超出了这些参数,例如《性别,工作与组织》杂志,我们建议,在最负盛名的MOS期刊中,相对缺乏明显的女权主义学者,这反映出一种认知上的压迫,这是由女权主义对既定的认识方式构成的威胁引起的。借鉴萨拉·艾哈迈德(Sara Ahmed)的工作,我们使用危险知识的“肮脏概念”来显示女权主义如何将知识定位为个人,引入了一种根源于不确定性的研究者主观形式。最后,我们呼吁承认和纠正对女权主义学术的认知压迫,以便实现女权主义作为一种了解组织和管理方式的潜力。我们认为,这将使MOS中的女权主义研究实践发展为以挑战性的方式替代挑战主流/男性的治疗方法。
