Resumo(s)
Research on gender and diversity has taken longer than usual to develop in Portuguese academia.
Different explanations can be provided for the apparent lack of interest in these matters.
Comparative cultural studies have depicted Portuguese culture as scoring high on femininity
(Hofstede, 1991). «Femininity pertains to societies in which social gender roles overlap» (p. 82)
and it may have an influence on people’s attitudes towards ‘the other’ and the role of men and
women in the organisation, and in shaping the individual’s behaviour and attitudes towards equality
and diversity. On the other hand, Portuguese society likes to portray itself as a homogenous
society (Cabral-Cardoso, 2002). Taken together, these factors may partly explain why gender and
diversity issues have failed to make it to the top of research agendas in Portuguese academia. The
limited number of papers included in this special issue and focusing on the Portuguese context still
reflects that state of affairs.
