“…So, what ideology requires formation of such a powerful NGO, and to serve whose purpose? What are the roles of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in shaping trade deals that directly benefit MNCs through the weak enforcement of regulations (Alamgir, 2014;Fernando, 2005;Muhammad, 2015a)? It also means that these studies ignore substantial work on international labor regulations in Bangladesh, as well as various trade agreements between Bangladesh, the USA, and the EU, which are influenced by powerful actors such as the World Bank and the IMF (Berik & Rodgers, 2010;Compa & Hinchliffe-Darricarrère, 1995;Muhammad, 2015b;Rahman & Langford, 2014).…”

I argue that meta-ignorance and meta-insensitivity are the key sources influencing the reoccurrence of the (un)conscious misrepresentation of marginalized groups in management and organization research; such misrepresentation, in effect, perpetuates epistemic neocolonialism. Meta-ignorance describes incorrect epistemic attitudes, which render researchers ignorant about issues such as contextual history and emotional and political aspects of a social problem. Researcher meta-ignorance can be a permanent feature, given how researchers define, locate, and make use of their epistemic positionality and privilege. In contrast, meta-insensitivity is a special issue that arises when researchers miss multiple opportunities to capture valuable aspects of marginalized groups’ voices or their life experiences and expectations. The problem of meta-insensitivity during fieldwork is more serious because researchers—despite their apparent willingness to be innovative—fail to understand how to be sensitive toward marginalized groups. The perpetuation of these elements’ misrepresentation contributes to long-lasting negative consequences for marginalized groups. To counter this, I introduce and conceptualize the idea of oppositional views which researchers can mobilize to address misrepresentation of marginalized groups and challenge epistemic neocolonialism.
