Tiivistelmä:This article examines the diversity management field in the UK. Employing Bourdieu's concept of field, a theoretical framework is developed conceptualizing the field of diversity management in three constituents: diversity discourse, diversity practice and diversity practitioners. The framework is used to analyse empirical evidence generated through semi-structured interviews with 19 diversity managers of large private-sector firms. The results show that discourse is instrumental in constructing diversity management as distinct from equal opportunities and the use discourse functions as a mechanism to control the entry of practitioners into this field.
