Expanding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to Disability: Opportunities for Biological Psychiatry
Given its subject matter, biological psychiatry is uniquely poised to lead STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) initiatives related to disability. Drawing on literatures in science, philosophy, psychiatry, and disability studies, we outline how that leadership might be undertaken. We first review existing opportunities for the advancement of DEI in biological psychiatry around axes of

Examining Workplace Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) With The COMMIT Inclusive Behavior Framework
Efforts to protect marginalized and minority groups from workplace discrimination go back decades: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 established a federal law that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees because of race, color, religion, sex, and national origin (United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, n.d.)

Clearly, there is a need to identify, define, and measure the barriers faced by women in orthopaedic surgery. Methods: An electronic survey was distributed to 330 female-identifying Canadian orthopaedic surgeons and trainees and

Sexual Orientation Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: A Qualitative Study of LGB Inclusion in a UK Public Sector Organisation
Inclusion has been identified as a key component of successful approaches to organisational diversity management.

Workplace wellbeing among LGBTQ+ Australians: Exploring diversity within diversity
A wealth of research documents disparities in workplace outcomes between cisgender heterosexual employees and LGBTQ+ employees. However, few studies have examined how workplace wellbeing may differ among different subgroups within the LGBTQ+ umbrella – that is, the notion of ‘diversity within diversity’. The current study fills this gap in knowledge by theorising and testing differences in workplace wellbeing across nuanced

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Clinical Research: A Path Toward Precision Health for Everyone
Healthcare disparities are a persistent societal problem. One of the contributing factors to this status quo is the lack of diversity and representativeness of research efforts, which result in nongeneralizable evidence that, in turn, provides suboptimal means to enable the best possible outcomes at the individual level. There are several strategies that research teams can adopt to improve the diversity,

Understanding advantaged groups’ opposition to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies: The role of perceived threat
To combat social inequality, organizations develop and implement initiatives that seek to improve the status of disadvantaged groups (e.g., women, racial/ethnic minority groups). Such diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies are controversial, because people disagree about whether they are necessary and what their (positive and negative) consequences may be. Opposition can be particularly fierce from people who belong to advantaged

Gender and ethnic equity in Aotearoa New Zealand’s public service before and since Covid-19: Toward intersectional inclusion?
Since its bi-cultural foundation with Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the Treaty of Waitangi, signed in 1840 by Māori, the indigenous Polynesian people of Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ), chiefs and representatives of the British Crown), cultural identities have expanded through immigration. While Aotearoa NZ’s government seeks to encourage workplace diversity in public service agencies, developments are being disrupted by Covid-19. Using
