Spirituality and religion are vital aspects of billions of people’s lives, their societies, cultures, and work. Over the past few decades, pioneering management scholars have inquired into this vital aspect of human life and enterprise. There are a wide variety of methodological approaches that constitute the core foundations, that have remained largely absent from the Academy journals, being published instead in journals of the smaller sub-fields within the Academy, such as the Management, Spirituality and Religion (MSR) journal, the Humanistic Management journal or the journal of Organizational Aesthetics. This panel reports out the work that the panelists have done to argue that our research methods are US or Euro-centric, dominated by the English language and a cause for indigenous languages and cultural ways of knowing-doing-being not allowed. It will build a case for being inclusive, of many different ways of knowing, doing and being. This is an invitation to all who wish to explore beyond the language of text and ontology, epistemology, and axiology.
