Diversity and Inclusion across languages: Insights into communicative challenges from theory and practice

Publication: Book/Editorship/ReportEdited book (editorship)

Abstract

Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) in a corporate business may once have
been no more than a lofty goal. Today it is seen as an important asset for
all types of businesses. This book analyzes the communicative aspects
of D&I in organizational as well as corporate settings. Its close look
into linguistic practices allows a deeper understanding of D&I and the
challenges related to it. The interdisciplinary contributors (scholars and
practitioners alike) used quantitative and qualitative approaches. They
examined the communication for, within and about a diverse society from
a variety of angles. The topics they cover include linguistic diversity, D&I
in corporate reports and D&I in criminal law and boardrooms. Thus, they
lay out the challenges of implementing D&I management in everyday
business. They also highlight the relation between language use and
D&I.
