Though there has been an exponential increase in interest in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), particularly as it relates to workplace environments and higher education teaching, recently, there has been a wave of DEI resistance posing challenges for leaders and educators alike. This two-volume set offers theoretical and practical knowledge about how to effectively implement DEI in organizations and into management curriculum.
Volume 2 discusses what DEI education should look like in higher education, specifically business schools. The chapters explore topics such as the argument for mandatory diversity education, the importance of expanding beyond binary gender discussions in the curriculum, the effective integration of current events in classroom discussions to enhance student learning, and the role of experiential learning in recognizing and addressing unconscious bias.
Recent discussions around critical race theory (CRT) have sparked debates about discussions of historical contexts of inequality in education. This book makes the case for teaching DEI in business schools and will be of interest to management education researchers and anyone interested in promoting DEI in higher education.
