Rebooting Feminist Research in HRD: Shifting from Gender Binary to Gender Diversit

This article traces the history of Bierema's (2002) "A Feminist Approach to HRD Research," and extends and reconceptualizes her framework by exploring key contrasts between early feminist research and critical feminist research 20 years later, discussing the key lexicons that define current feminist research, and considering how feminist research can be more inclusive and resist binary thinking, essentialism, heterosexism, and cisnormativity in HRD. This article reconceptualizes critical feminist research that is grounded in a multidimensional, intersectional gender diversity framework.
