How narratives of racial progress create barriers to diversity, equity, and inclusion in organizations

In this review, we describe the role of the narrative of racial progress—which conceives of society as rapidly and automatically ascending toward racial equity— in these failures. Specifically, the narrative (1) envisions organizations as race neutral, (2) creates

Axes and fluidity of oppression in the workplace: Intersectionality of race, gender, and sexuality
Our research explores how the historically institutionalized and authoritarian discriminatory South African context continues to affect the experiences of LGBT mid-level managers in the workplace.
