Abstract
Organization scholars interested in cultural processes, such as identification and categorization, have been deeply influenced by Miche`le Lamont’s work. Lamont,Beljean and Clair’s new essay (LBC) on ‘cultural processes and causal pathwaysto inequality’ provides yet another important contribution to this body of work,with a strong statement that we all share: cultural processes can contribute to the production and reproduction of inequality and are eminently performative. In this comment, we elaborate on howorganizations may moderate cultural processes surrounding equality and examine a set of boundary conditions to the relation between cultural processes and inequality.
