Collective social responsibility: revealing agendas in intersectional and decolonial interpretive communities

Abstract

This article examines how decolonial and intersectional agendas, viewed through feminist and activist lenses, reshape collective social responsibility (CSR) by anchoring social justice initiatives in non-colonial perspectives. Drawing on intersectional and decolonial feminist scholarship, it explores strategic paths and challenges to envisioning a world beyond colonial frameworks. Domestic violence (DV) is highlighted as a symptom of coloniality and a largely invisible agenda in organizational studies. Addressing this requires mobilizing ontologies, epistemologies, and methodologies that confront the coloniality of power, knowledge, and being. Recognizing organizations as non-neutral entities, the article emphasizes their dual role in perpetuating problems and fostering solutions. By adopting approaches rooted in social justice, it calls for active agendas that challenge dominant paradigms, aiming to reimagine social relations and foster collective responsibility. This framework envisions new possibilities for existence, centering marginalized voices and promoting transformative change within organizational and societal contexts.
