Taylor & Francis Managing Workplace Diversity Equity and Inclusion
Book SynopsisManaging Workplace Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion bridges the gap between social science theory and research and the practical concerns of those working in diversity, equity, and inclusion by presenting an applied psychological perspective.Using foundational ideas in the field of diversity, equity, and inclusion as well as concepts in the social sciences, this book provides a set of cognitive tools for dealing with situations related to workplace diversity and applies both classic theories and new ideas to topics such as United States employment law, teamwork, gender, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, and other areas. Each chapter includes engaging scenarios and real-world applications to stimulate learning and help students conceptualize and contextualize diversity in the workplace.Intended for upper-level undergraduates as well as graduate students, this textbook brings together foundational theories with research-based and practical, real-world applTrade Review"Professor Hays-Thomas deftly blends the conceptual background that practitioners need with the practical applications to which academics often have limited exposure. Without a doubt, this is the go-to textbook for the next generation of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility professionals."Marc Bendick, Jr., Bendick and Egan Economic Consultants, Inc."Hays-Thomas’s Managing Workplace Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is an essential resource for understanding how DEI is conceptualized and measured by both organizations and researchers. It takes an evidence-based approach to covering topics such as privilege, inequity, identity, as well as what is currently known about stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. All of this is artfully integrated with not only legal concepts related to DEI, but also with what organizations can do to build diversity and diversity competence throughout their workforce. This is a "must read" for students, scholars, and practitioners alike!"Deborah E. Rupp, PhD, Professor at the Department of Psychology, George Mason University, USA Table of ContentsPart I.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Workplace Learning for Changing Social and
Book SynopsisAt the heart of this book is the rapid pace of change, the need to invest in and create good jobs and support the learning that this entails. It brings together a range of socio-cultural perspectives to examine the hard issues in relation to digitalisation, identity, work design and affordances for learning, mediated by the ecosystems within which work, and the workplace is positioned.The contributors take a strong social justice perspective that seeks to uncover commonly held assumptions about where the responsibility for workplace learning lies, how to understand workplace learning from a range of different perspectives and what it all means for practitioners and researchers in the field. The first section sets the scene in its theorisation of the role and place of workplace learning in the context of changing circumstances. The second section brings together a rich collection of investigations into workplace learning that address the challenges of rapidly changing circumstTrade Review'This collection, curated by internationally renowned academics, brings together contributions from world-leading scholars to identify, theorise, evidence and illuminate the pressing contemporary challenges in workplace learning and vocational education and training research. This highly recommended book offers researchers, policymakers and practitioners in different countries a refreshing range of perspectives and insights that will enrich and augment their own interests and work.'Alison Fuller, Professor of Vocational Education and Work, University College London, UK'This is a refreshing book for where human intervention increasingly shapes and conflates the socio-cultural and environmental spheres. The contributing authors problematise central workplace learning themes within this context of uncertainty in which participants act both as agents and supplicants within such theoretically and practice-based informed spaces as digitisation, shifting identities, group collaboration, increasing knowledge and skill complexity, and rapidly changing definitions of work. The book is a ‘must-read’ for researchers, educators and policy makers.'Peter Rushbrook, Adjunct Associate Professor (VET), Charles Sturt UniversityTable of ContentsSection 1: Theoretical framing 1.

He also reconsidered his book, deciding instead to reframe his approach as an exploration of his own battle with what he calls the “precision paradox
