Beyond Equity and Inclusion in Conflict Resolution : Recentering the Profession

Beyond Equity and Inclusion in Conflict Resolution: Recentering the Profession illustrates how racism has informed the field of conflict resolution and its allied professions. Useful for any field that recruits, standardizes, or “professionalizes” its adherents, this volume addresses how individuals, organizations, and institutions shape and have been shaped by racist ideas and practices. These ideas and practices, embedded in the fabric of our country, are exposed in this historic moment and held up to the light for close examination. In addition to a critique of the status quo, Beyond Equity and Inclusion in Conflict Resolution casts an eye toward creating a just and equitable future for the field. Narratives, interviews, poems, and essays from activists, practitioners, and scholars who represent diverse constituencies marry theory and practice to encourage, stimulate, and motivate colleagues to expand the boundaries for our field and our world.
