Abstract

Ajnesh Prasad and Ghazal Zulfiqar had the opportunity to interview Professor Cynthia Enloe — feminist, social justice activist and the plenary speaker for the Critical Management Studies division at the 2019 Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management. The contents of the interview are presented in this article. The interview is based on an initial set of preliminary questions that Ajnesh and Ghazal posed to Cynthia over multiple email exchanges between 22 May and 3 June 2020 as well as a nearly three‐hour interview on 9 June 2020, which was recorded and transcribed into verbatim text. As the three individuals involved were located in different parts of the world during the ongoing global pandemic — Cynthia was in Boston (United States), Ajnesh was in Victoria (Canada) and Ghazal was in Lahore (Pakistan) — the interview was organized virtually using Zoom. The thought‐provoking interview covers a wide range of topics, from current debates over race and COVID‐19 to feminist solidarity‐building among culturally disparate communities to the potential of management and organization studies scholars to mobilize their research and teaching in efforts to transform current configurations of gendered social relations.
