This book explores the opportunities, challenges, and effective
approaches to organizational change regarding diversity, equity,
inclusion, and belonging. Featuring application-based case studies
and practical guidelines for meaningful organizational change, this
book problematizes some of the current DEI initiatives in today’s
organizations. It examines multiple forms of diversity (e.g., race,
age, mental health) from a variety of perspectives (e.g.,
leadership, employee), with case studies that demonstrate how
changemaking efforts can be reimagined and implemented in better,
more nuanced, and more sustainable ways to produce meaningful
organizational change. Through these case studies, readers learn
from organizations’ successes and failures in their attempts to
implement DEI practices. Each chapter concludes with explicit
practical implications and/or actionable recommendations for
organizational changemaking. This text will make an impactful
addition to courses in communication and diversity or
organizational communication/change at the advanced undergraduate
or graduate level and will be an essential guide for professionals
wishing to lead change in their organizations.
Featuring contributed chapters from established and emerging
communication theorists with varied cultural backgrounds and
identities, Communication Theory: Racially Diverse and Inclusive
Perspectives decenters traditional views of communication by
highlighting perspectives from the global majority. The text
deviates from a white-colonial-normative theoretical core to
provide students with a more holistic exploration of communication
theory. The book helps readers understand how the communicative
experiences of marginalized groups represent important theoretical
frames necessary for a full, comprehensive view of communication.
It offers innovative conceptions of communication theorizing
centered in and through the perspectives of African American/Black,
Latinx, Asian American, and Indigenous/First Nations people.
Through the presentation of canonized theories alongside
innovative, cutting-edge theories, the text challenges students to
expand and enhance the ways in which they see, use, and apply
communication theory. A unique feature of the text is the inclusion
of storied reflections-personal narratives that reveal scholars at
various stages of their careers ruminating on their own experiences
with theory. These reflections demonstrate how ethnic and
racialized standpoints can inform and advance scholarship within
the discipline. Communication Theory presents an inclusive,
holistic approach to communication theory and inspires continued
exploration, research, and theory in the discipline. It can serve
as a primary textbook as well as a companion volume to other
textbooks on communication theory. Chapters and contributors
