Gender equity: Books

Gender equity can't happen without racial equity. We need Shared Sisterhood. Bias persists in organizations and society. Despite efforts that have been made in the last few decades, gender and racioethnic equity still hasn’t been achieved. What's worse, Black, Indigenous, Asian, and Latina women are being held back more than their White counterparts. We need to change how we strive for equity.

Issues of equity and justice are fundamental concerns of government, and thus to public administrators, who constantly struggle to evaluate a country's social climate and ensure equity in governance. Such evaluation is unlikely to occur in a serious way, however, if government actors are fundamentally too uncomfortable to directly engage the topic. The result, this book argues, is a context of 'nervousness,' which unless squarely acknowledged and addressed, can become debilitating and thwart progress toward achieving social equity. This volume explores and expands our understanding of the concept of nervousness in the administration of government services around the world, demonstrating the ways in which such an emotional and physical reaction can debilitate government actions that are needed to promote social equity and justice.

In organisations, schools, or other contexts, people from different cultural backgrounds have to cooperate in groups around a common project. This raises the question how to create inclusive group identities that enable successful cooperation among cultural minority and majority members. The author addresses this question by longitudinally investigating identity processes in groups with low to high levels of cultural diversity. Specifically, she uses real-life, interactive work groups as a natural lab to examine how group processes unfold as members cooperate on meaningful and demanding tasks.
