Handbook of Research Methods in Diversity Management, Equality and Inclusion at Work - Booysen, Lize; Bendl, Regine; Pringle, Judith K. (Cheltenham Edward Elgar Publishing, 2020)
Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) have become features of organizations as a result of both legal and societal advances, as well as neoliberal economic reasoning and considerations. Current research approaches frequently fall short of addressing the challenges faced in EDI research, and this benchmark Handbook brings up to date coverage of research methods in EDI, and advances the development of research in the field.
