    Join Us for "Rooted Resistance" at AOM: Symposium on The Complexities of Hair and Non-Conforming Self-Presentations at Work

    We are thrilled to put on an AOM presenter symposium (sponsored by the OB, DEI, and CMS divisions) entitled "Rooted Resistance: The Complexities of Hair and Non-Conforming Self-Presentations in the Workplace." This presenter symposium brings together five pioneering papers that:

    • Dissect intersectional dynamics of self-presentation within organizational contexts, particularly as they relate to Black identity in the U.S. and Central America.
    • Present a novel perspective on how hair and other aspects of appearance shape and are shaped by racialized, gendered, and classed experiences in the workplace.
    • Highlight systemic gendered racism.
    • Establish the need for additional research examining the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and organizational implications of cultural expectations, norms, and values on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belongingness.
