With a looming climate collapse and rising social inequality, several streams of critical management research try to address these crises. While diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) research has made significant contributions to understanding systems of (human) oppression, it has largely treated environmental concerns as external to its core mission. More-than-human approaches, on the other hand, challenge anthropocentric approaches but often remain vague on issues of social inequality. Our proposed PDW challenges this fragmentation, seeking to bridge DEI and more-than-human perspectives to de-center human exceptionalism and explore their shared potential for urgent socio-ecological transformations and a good life for all living beings. The PDW features three parts: short keynote inputs by five speakers from DEI and more-than-human research, a panel discussion, as well as roundtables for in-depth conversations on selected topics to develop ideas for future (collaborative) research at the intersection of both research streams. In this PDW, we bring diverse critical management perspectives into conversation to challenge exploitative and anthropocentric organizational theories and realities. By connecting DEI and more-than-human approaches, the workshop aims to cultivate a conversation that reimagines more socioecologically just and affirmative forms of organizing.
