Diversity Without DogmaA Collaborative Approach to Leading DEI Education and Action\nAuthor(s): Gilmore Crosby\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Productivity Press\nISBN-13: 9781032371740, 978-1032371740\nSynopsis\nSocial Scientist Kurt Lewin said, \""No research without action, and no action without research.\"" Too much of the current DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) approach is insight-based instead of action-based. Even though institutional racism is identified as the root problem, the change effort is focused on looking inward for bias instead of taking action to eliminate institutional racism and other isms. A Lewinian approach, in contrast, is balanced. What people think is important, but no more important than what people do. If you bring people together to change things, this will change what people think! We dont need therapy nearly as much as we need action based on dialogue! Instead of spending your energy soul-searching.
