As opposition to DEI grows, it's worth recalling there's bad DEI that antagonises people, creates backlash, & fails on its own terms (DiAngelo-style stuff) & initiatives that work for all. Dobbin & Kalev are the experts & explain what to ditch and what to embrace. www.hup.harvard.edu/books/978067...
