Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a summary of a selection of the diversity‐related research presented at the Academy of Management's 2009 annual meeting. Design/methodology/approach The annual meeting of the Academy of Management is the largest annual gathering of management scholars with more than 10,000 attendees. The meeting provides a forum for sharing research through multiple paper sessions, panels, symposia and workshops. From these sessions, 12 papers on gender and diversity were selected and summarized in this report. Findings Empirical evidence presented confirms that weight, gender, age and race‐based discrimination persist in organizations. At times, these strands of diversity interact with each other in a complex way, complicating the process of stigmatization. Critical papers called for more inclusive research and alternative approaches on gender tokenism, work‐life interface and migrants. Originality/value The papers summarized in this report offer new insights on dimensions of diversity previously explored and identify new avenues for future diversity research
