- Abstract
Few special issues are as important as this one, as we celebrate the work, life and legacy of Professor Joan Acker: sociologist, academic, activist, friend, inspirer, teacher, community-maker. Gender scholars turned to Joan's work to legitimize the work of so many others as she offered ways to think empirically and methodologically about intersectional diversity (see Benschop, [6], for a review of her work). Marieke and Yvonne reflect on the ways in which Joan Acker's work has influenced their research, teaching and consultancy reminding us of the importance of Joan's work for bringing about organizational change.
