Martyna Śliwa is Professor of Management and Organisation at the University of Bath School of Management. She is particularly interested in the ways in which different aspects of diversity, such as gender and national and linguistic background, influence individuals’ work experiences and careers, as well as organizational inequalities, power relations and hierarchies. Her research draws on theoretical and methodological insights from the broader social sciences and humanities.

Martyna’s work has been published widely in academic journals, including the Academy of Management Perspectives,British Journal of Management, ephemera, human relations, Human Resource Management Journal, Journal of Business Ethics, Journal of International Business Studies, Management Learning, Organization, Organization Studies, and other outlets. She currently serves as Co-Editor-in-Chief of the journal Management Learning and Associate Editor of the British Journal of Management. She is also a member of the editorial boards of several journals: Academy of Management Learning and Education, British Journal of Management, Critical Perspectives on International Business, human relations, and Human Resource Management Journal. In recognition of her contributions to knowledge, she has been awarded Fellowship of the Academy of Social Sciences (FAcSS) and Fellowship of the British Academy of Management (FBAM). At present (2024-2025), she also holds the prestigious Erik Malmstens Visiting Professorship in the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg.

Martyna’s areas of expertise and research interests extend over a range of sub-fields, topics and methodological approaches within management, international business/international management, and organisation studies. In her own leadership and organisation work, she is passionate about making academia more equitable and inclusive, and about supporting the development of early career scholars, especially those who are members of under-represented and minoritised groups. She regularly contributes to professional development workshops and other initiatives aimed at supporting academics, in particular through her involvement in the activities of the British Academy of Management and the (American) Academy of Management.

Prior to joining the University of Bath School of Management, Martyna worked at the universities of Durham, Essex, Newcastle, and Northumbria.
