Identity and equity in public sector workplaces are two of the most crucial, yet complex, concepts for decision-makers to address. This important new book offers public administration scholars, practitioners, and students a comprehensive resource to make sense of identity and equity in the public sector workplace.
The chapters in this volume present original research and explore timely and relevant theories and practices of identity and equity in public sector workplaces. To do this, authors present innovative theories and approaches to identity and equity, analyze practical pathways to identity and equity, and critique foundational policy and law addressing identity and equity. The utility of this volume lies in the timeliness and innovative approaches to evolving concepts of identity and equity in public sector workplaces. Applying a liberatory lens, the chapters reflect an expanded interpretation and understanding of identity, the challenges and opportunities for public sector organizations to more fully embrace and integrate diverse identities in the workplace, and paths for future research and application of practices that strive for more equitable and inclusive workplaces.
Making Sense of Identity and Equity in Public Sector Workplaces is essential reading for all students and scholars of public administration as well as those working in public and nonprofit organizations.
