Dear all,
Despite recent developments, our societies need multiculturalism, diversity, and tolerance. To create conditions to reach this ideal, there should be a continuum between what the social actors are prepared for in school, the practices they encounter in the workplace, and the broader society. This continuum should be materialized in consistent conceptualizations and practices of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across educational, organizational, and societal contexts.
The special issue Paradoxes of diversity, equity and inclusion: from the lab to the social field, published recently in Frontiers in Psychology, addresses those challenges. Check our editorial and the various papers published in this special issue.
