This comprehensive, integrated teaching resource provides students
with the tools and methodologies they need to effectively negotiate
the multiple dynamics that emerge from difference, and to
appropriately respond to issues of marginalization and social
injustice. Written from an American perspective, the book not only
covers the traditional topics of race, gender, ethnicity, and
social class, but explores emerging trends around ‘isms’
(racism, sexism). Thoroughly revised and updated, this third
edition includes new case studies and expanded coverage of topics
such as social justice, microaggressions and gender identities and
expressions. End-of-chapter questions encourage students to engage
in difficult conversations, and case studies stimulate students’
awareness of real-world issues that emerge from diversity, helping
students to develop the broad range of skills they need to mediate
or resolve diversity issues as future professionals. This edition
includes updated Instructor Resources such as PowerPoint slides,
multiple choice quizzes, essay questions as well as additional
links which can be found online.

Emphasizing the importance of workforce diversity as it relates to
valuing the similarities, differences, and talents of employees at
all ranks has provided a wonderful topic for research. Leveraging
diversity is one emerging paradigm able to demonstrate the value of
workforce diversity in its many forms. Handbook of Research on
Workforce Diversity in a Global Society: Technologies and Concepts
serves as a cutting-edge resource for scholars, researchers,
organizational leaders, practitioners, and graduate students who
want to enhance their understanding of leverage diversity in the
workforce. Secondly, the handbook highlights innovative research,
theoretical frameworks, and perspectives that are currently being
used to guide the practice of leveraging diversity in multiple
organizational settings. It also provides insights on future
workforce diversity trends.
Workforce diversity refers to a strategy that promotes and supports
the integration of human diversity at all levels and uses focused
diversity and inclusion policies and practices to guide this
approach in work environments. While this concept is not new,
publications outlining the programming, curriculum, and degree
demands that should exist in universities to promote workforce
diversity skill development are missing. Developing Workforce
Diversity Programs, Curriculum, and Degrees in Higher Education
presents conceptual and research-based perspectives on course,
program, and degree developments that emphasize workforce diversity
skill development and prepare next-generation leaders for the
modern and emerging workforce. Highlighting crucial topics relating
to career development, human resources management, organizational
leadership, and business education, this edited volume is a
ground-breaking resource for business professionals, scholars,
researchers, entrepreneurs, educators, and upper-level students
working, studying, and seeking to advance workforce diversity
learning across a variety of sectors.
This book outlines successful transformation strategies and efforts
that have been developed to assist the South African higher
education system in moving beyond its post-apartheid state of
being. Through case studies authored by South African higher
education scholars and scholars affiliated with South African
institutions, this book aims to highlight the status of
transformation in the South African higher education system;
demonstrate the variety of transformation initiatives used in
academic institutions across South Africa; and offer
recommendations to further advance this transformation. Written for
scholars and advanced students of higher education in international
settings, this volume aims to support quality research that
benefits the demographic composition of South African academics and
students, and offers lessons that can inform higher education
transformation in similarly multicultural societies.
