Abstract

We seek to better understand how operations research and operations management scholars engage with concepts of diversity, equity and inclusion in their research. We evaluate peer-reviewed articles in four different volumes to understand how authors exploit opportunities to address DEI across a range of application areas and analytic methods - even if a paper’s topic does not specifically address DEI. We also perform a systematic review of articles whose titles or abstracts contain evidence of DEI-related content to understand the types of diversity dimensions that appear in these works. Through a critical approach and a focus on intersectionality, we identify unmet opportunities to incorporate DEI‐related themes into research where such perspectives can amplify the theoretical, empirical and application‐oriented impact of this work.
