Transcending Boundaries: Reimagining the Possibilities of Scholarship

Author

  • Ajnesh Prasad

Abstract

In this editorial, I introduce Transcending Boundaries—the newest section of Gender, Work & Organization. Transcending Boundaries aims to reimagine the possibilities of scholarship. It is intended to be experimental, subversive, and provocative—all the while, unapologetically presenting ideas that dislocate the hegemonic narratives, which currently structure knowledge in management and organization studies. This section complements the rich traditions of epistemological plurality that is palpable in Gender, Work ‐ Organization’s three‐decade publication history. It aims to resist conformity, embrace reflexivity, and call for courage in scholarship. I conclude the editorial by providing examples of the types of work—in terms of format, genre, and creativity—that may be suitable for Transcending Boundaries and discussing governance matters and procedural issues related to the section.
