- The dynamics of diversity (gender, race, ethnicity, disability, class, religion, sexual orientation, age, language …) in work contexts with special attention to connections between inequalities at the macro- (society and international context), meso- (organizations and networks of organizations), and micro-level (individuals and inter-individual relations)
- Policies and practices that can be implemented to affect these dynamics with the aim of fostering inclusion and equality
Specific content:

- Diversity, migration and employment relations in a globalized economy.
- 'Traditional' diversity management practices and policies used by organizations to manage diversity, their underlying assumptions and the reasons for their effects.
