This thought-provoking book helps us recognize systems of oppression that manifest in our society, and encourages us to work proactively, consciously, and continuously to interrupt oppression.

Long Description:
Pushing for social change is a lifelong journey that requires learning and unlearning about lived experiences that differ from our own. This thought-provoking book discusses topics like privilege (Chapter 1); intersectional oppression (Ch. 2); the psychology of conscious and unconscious biases and how to act on them (Chs. 3 and 4). This book provides readers with actionable practices and guidelines to become advocates for social and institutional changes, including how to recognize and avoid common pitfalls in EDI practice (Ch. 5), and how to use inclusive language (Ch. 6). The book unfolds the meaning of effective allyship (Ch. 7), the importance of interrupting oppression (Ch. 8), and steps to operationalize our social justice actions (Ch. 9). Finally, the book positions accessibility in an EDI context and presents a broad selection of resources to aid readers in deepening their knowledge and understanding of EDI (Ch. 10).

Long Description:
This book is designed to integrate concepts of responsible management with the evolving discourse around corporate social responsibility (CSR), environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues and sustainability, I bring in current perspectives including that of the United Nations and its Sustainable Development Goals. In this book I also consider indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, and Metis) perspective and equity, diversity, and inclusivity (EDI) issues. The book works as a roadmap to a journey of responsible management and includes links and references to current research articles and websites with topical examples, learning outcomes, key take-aways, reflective questions, and suggested additional readings. The textbook is organized into eleven chapters within four sections, each addressing a particular part of the learning journey: starting the journey, societal integration of responsible management, responsible management and business considerations, sustainability and sustainable development. Instructors can choose to present each chapter according to their particular curricular focus and course learning outcomes over a 6, 8, or 12 week semester. Each chapter is organized so that they can be read on their own or supplemented by the referenced or suggested readings. Instructors can use the suggested reflective questions or create their own based on the topical material. In the end, the learning journey starts and ends with the learner and so the intent of this book is to make it an accessible and relevant journey considering the many wicked problems that are found today.
