Overview
Updated in a new 4th edition, this work on human diversity integrates personal and organizational perspectives, research, and theories while discussing teamwork, communication, leadership, conflict, social networking, and other issues in the workplace, in school, and in the community. It enpowers students by helping them develop a "mind-set" which will enable them to be more successful in the 21st century.
Does not limit diversity to race, gender, and ethnicity. Rather, examines the many ways in which we are different, and how we can leverage those differences through diversity consciousness. On both a cognitive and affective level, it takes students on a journey of learning and ignites curiosity and questions about the nature and critical importance of diversity and diversity consciousness to off-set passive learning. The book reinforces learning and develops diversity consciousness through real-life case studies, thought-provoking questions, and a variety of activities. Empirically grounded, it integrates current research studies and data throughout.
