Yilmaz, Ihsan / Kenes, Bulent, Hybrid Transnationalism and Repression: Turkey's Diaspora Under Authoritarian Islamist Siege. 319 pp. 2025:10 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-809>
ISBN 978-981-9506-68-2 hard ¥37,616.- (税込) EUR 149.99

This book investigates how authoritarian regimes extend repression beyond borders by targeting diaspora communities. Focusing on the strategic fusion of soft, sharp, and hard power, it introduces the concept of hybrid transnationalism to explain Turkey's deployment of cultural diplomacy, religious outreach, surveillance, abductions, and legal manipulation-such as the misuse of Interpol Red Notices. These mechanisms are shown not as isolated acts but as part of a coherent strategy to suppress dissent, enforce ideological loyalty, and consolidate authoritarian rule transnationally. The book draws on rich empirical data, including institutional case studies and cross-border repression incidents, revealing how Turkish institutions like the Directorate of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) serve dual roles-facilitating cultural ties while enabling surveillance and community control. Situated within the broader landscape of global authoritarianism, the book offers comparative insights, highlighting shared tools of diaspora surveillance and the manipulation of international institutions. It emphasizes how Turkey's position within liberal internationalism allows it to exploit democratic norms and mechanisms while undermining them from within. Timely and theoretically innovative, the book contributes vital understanding of how authoritarianism becomes mobile, adaptive, and emotionally resonant in the 21st century. Readers will benefit from an in-depth understanding of how authoritarian regimes operate across borders and the vulnerabilities in global governance systems they exploit. This book is essential for scholars, policymakers, human rights advocates, and diaspora members seeking to understand and counter the challenges posed by transnational repression. It offers actionable insights into safeguarding democratic values, protecting vulnerable populations, and reforming international institutions. The book fills a critical gap in the literature on authoritarianism, diaspora studies, and international law, making it a timely and indispensable resource.

Gaertner, Marlene, Narrating Migration, Narrating Futures: Social Narratives on Global Power Dynamics in Cameroon and the Cameroonian Diaspora. (Literatur und Postmigration 2) 250 pp. 2025:10 (J. B. Metzler, GW) <756-815>
ISBN 978-3-662-72007-3 paper ¥21,314.- (税込) EUR 84.99

The book revolves around narrative as an intriguing, as well as intricate object of analysis and demonstrates how theoretically sound and empirically founded narrative research can look like. Migration is imbued, motivated, and shaped by imagination. Based on the everyday language around migration in Cameroon, the author is exploring social narratives about migration and their relationship with the global. Migration storytelling is a cultural force which speaks about people and their lives to the fullest: What they aspire to, the risks they take, and the stories they tell about all of it.

von Broemssen, Kerstin / Stretmo, Live (eds.), Rethinking Childhoods and Migrations: Multidisciplinary Understandings and Key Concepts. (Studies in Childhood and Youth) 289 pp. 2025:11 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-928>
ISBN 978-3-031-97038-2 hard ¥35,108.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This edited volume investigates the complexities of child refugees and migrants from a global perspective. With millions of young migrants and refugees worldwide, there is a need for novel understandings and conceptualizations of the impact of national policies affecting these children, as well as a thorough investigation of possible methodological dilemmas within research on and with migrant children and youth. This book addresses these in three parts. Part one examines the life experiences of child migrants and refugees with emphasis on how different forms of mobility shape them. Part two explores different contexts of education: How education directed at child migrants becomes organized, the specific educational needs that migrant children have, and the inclusion and possible exclusion of migrant children. Part three discusses and problematizes ethical dilemmas that research on and with migrant children and young people awakens. Foregrounding nuanced perspectives from the "Global South"-or the "world majority"-often ignored in traditional migration research, this book fills a crucial gap in childhood and youth studies as well as migration research.

Vadeboncoeur, Joshua D., Racing to Make Space: Black Fans in NASCAR's Fast Lane. 143 pp. 2025:8 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-931>
ISBN 978-3-032-00681-3 hard ¥30,092.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book explores the often-overlooked experiences of Black NASCAR fans, challenging the sport's traditional image as a stronghold of Southern white conservatism. Through a narrative inquiry approach, the book examines how Black fans navigate and transform NASCAR's cultural and spatial landscapes. Divided into three sections, it delves into Black placemaking within NASCAR, the impact of pervasive whiteness in the sport's geographies, and offers practical recommendations for fostering greater inclusivity within NASCAR. The presence and influence of Black fans within this space have largely been ignored in academic discourse, media coverage, and the sport's own self-representation. This book seeks to address this significant gap in the literature by providing a comprehensive and in-depth examination of how Black fans engage with, navigate, and transform the cultural and spatial landscapes of NASCAR while providing actionable insights for creating more equitable and inclusive environments in American sports.

Healy, Catherine, Irish Domestic Servants in Transatlantic Culture, c. 1870-1945: Intimate Connections. 146 pp. 2025:11 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-965>
ISBN 978-3-031-91245-0 hard ¥35,108.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book provides the first major transatlantic history of Irish serving women, drawing on four years of archival research in Dublin, Belfast, New York, Boston, London and Liverpool. Domestic service was the largest source of employment for generations of women who left Ireland in the decades after the Great Famine. The perceived difficulty of managing Irish servants became a prominent feature of cultural discourse in the United States and England, where countless cartoons, editorials and literary works caricatured the figure of 'Bridget'. Irish maids and cooks were a canvas on which to project fears not only about Irish politics and immigration but also changing class and gender roles. Existing scholarship on the Irish experience of domestic service has typically focused on socio-economic conditions, but such approaches tend not to capture the complex ways in which Irish female immigrants were encountered both in private households and in wider society. Irish servants were framed through discourses that could involve nostalgia and guilt as well as amusement and disgust: more complex scripts, in general, than those used to describe Irish immigrant men. The period covered in the book allows for a diverse range of cultural sources - including romance novels and Hollywood films depicting working Irish women - to be examined, moving beyond the Victorian-era caricatures typically emphasised in earlier work on the Irish in domestic service.

ISBN 978-981-9502-56-1 hard ¥35,108.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This volume chronicles migrant lives in Japan and the Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, it focuses on the Japanese in the Philippines and the Filipinos in Japan, making it a valuable resource for those doing research on migrations between these two countries, and/or about migrations in Asia, in general. Analyzing data gathered through interviews, surveys, content analyses, and ethnographies, the authors meticulously present critical findings and narrate migrants' experiences of COVID-19. While the world has now eased back into a "state of normality," the significant societal changes that have occurred cannot be denied. Hence, the book argues that it is imperative for the public to be informed how various types of migrants have experienced the pandemic, leading them to explore innovative ways to adapt to conditions during this health crisis. The chapters in this volume are important in informing not only scholars studying migration, but also policy-makers, NGOs, and the general public, as to how non-citizens in these two countries have grappled with the challenges posed by the pandemic. It will also be a valuable resource for communities and governments around the world as they prepare for similar health crises in the near future.

Song, Changzoo, Acculturation of Korean New Zealander Youth: Re-Ethnicization of the Newer Generation. 174 pp. 2025:8 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-775>
ISBN 978-981-9505-90-6 hard ¥7,520.- (税込) EUR 29.99

This open access book explores the acculturation, identity development, and cultural reconnection of newer-generation (1.5- and second-generation) Korean New Zealander youth who grew up in New Zealand after the 1990s. Based on in-depth interviews, it shows how many of them initially sought to assimilate into the dominant culture but later experienced a process of re-ethnicization, rediscovering their Korean heritage during adolescence and early adulthood. Chapters explore key themes such as cultural adaptation, ethnic identity, racism, co-ethnic friendships, and the role of digital media and the Korean Wave in fostering re-ethnicization. This book also situates these youth experiences within the broader contexts of New Zealand's multicultural policies, its bicultural foundation, multicultural frameworks and the global dynamics of diaspora and migration. Drawing on theories of segmented assimilation, transnationalism, and ethnic belonging, this book offers new insights into how young migrants navigate dual identities and negotiate belonging in an increasingly diverse and complex society for scholars and students in migration studies, sociology, diaspora studies, Asian studies and cultural studies.

Das, Ruchira, City, Marginality and Education: Tribal Migrants in Kolkata. (Exploring Urban Change in South Asia) 159 pp. 2025:11 (Springer, GW) <756-778>
ISBN 978-981-9508-90-7 hard ¥27,584.- (税込) EUR 109.99

This book examines the socially segregated Santals, a tribal community that migrated from various parts of Bengal and its neighbouring states of Bihar, Orissa, and Jharkhand to Kolkata, a city currently driven by capitalist-consumerist forces that pose a challenge in terms of the community's inclusion and accommodation. As residents of Kolkata for more than four decades, the Santal migrants have experienced multiple unique challenges in adapting to modern, urban life.The book maps the political economy of social change around the globe and in India to understand how such marginalised tribes have coped with attempts to assimilate. By pursuing an ethnographic account and exploring the lived realities of the Santals as they negotiate the socio-cultural world of the city, the book attempts to deconstruct notions of 'pristine' tribal cultures and the need to 'mainstream' tribes, thus conveying a sense of the multiple discourses on the tribal question emerging from within the tribal community. In turn, it critically addresses the tension concerning the theory-practice divide in researching marginality. Combining theoretical insights with empirical discussions and thematic analyses of the qualitative data, the book offers researchers, scholars, students, and policymakers an interesting read on marginality in the context of globalizing urban spaces.

De Bel-Air, Francoise / Shah, Nasra M. (eds.), The Future of Migration to GCC Countries: Migrants' Aspirations, Labour Reforms, and Politics. (International Perspectives on Migration) 410 pp. 2025:11 (Springer, GW) <756-234>
ISBN 978-981-9699-27-8 hard ¥35,108.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book provides an in-depth exploration of the evolving trends in South-South international migration to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. It presents a comprehensive analysis of migration dynamics from the perspectives of nationals, non-nationals, policymakers, and prospective migrants. It highlights the multifaceted factors driving migration to the Gulf, including the transition from oil-dependent economies to knowledge-based industries and the shift from a reliance on low-wage migrant workers to the integration of highly skilled expatriates. It emphasizes the Gulf states as strategic destinations for the Arab and Asian middle classes, shaped by global dynamics such as the gig economy, cultural compatibility, and socio-economic instability in migrants' countries of origin. Furthermore, the book offers a critical assessment of migration policies, focusing particularly on the inadequacies in safeguarding low-paid migrants, while challenging the prevailing notion that migration to the Gulf is temporary and primarily economically driven. Through an examination of new employment patterns, migration flows, and concepts of transnationalism, the book interrogates the future trajectories of Gulf societies. It is an indispensable resource for scholars interested in the region's transitions and future prospects.

人種主義の政治経済－アメリカにおけるアンチ・ブラックネスの持続
Holder, Michelle / Wicks-Lim, Jeannette, The Political Economy of Racism: The Persistence of Anti-Blackness in the United States. 272 pp. 2025:12 (Polity Pr., UK) <756-127>

Why does racial inequality in America persist? In this important textbook, Michelle Holder and Jeannette Wicks-Lim answer this question by introducing readers to the innovative field of stratification economics.Stratification economics offers an antidote to conventional economics' hyper-focus on individuals and disregard for how politics shapes the economy. It spotlights how groups - such as racial groups - compete to gain favorable positions in society, including through political and economic domination. The book fuses stratification economics with intersectional theory to illuminate the influence of gender and ethnicity on how racial oppression operates. Drawing on history and empirical data, Holder and Wicks-Lim argue that anti-Black racism developed and persists because it protects the interests of a politically dominant social group: White Americans. This argument is demonstrated across the arenas of education, employment, wealth, and the criminal legal system. Policy intervention - through government action spurred by social movements - is necessary for achieving racial equity within the economy and beyond.The first introductory textbook of its kind, The Political Economy of Racism is an essential resource for students and scholars.

ISBN 978-981-9667-46-8 hard ¥28,838.- (税込) EUR 114.99

In this edited volume, leading scholars and experts explore the extraordinary potential of diaspora communities in driving economic growth, shaping foreign policies and fostering global connections with India's approach, offering a compelling case study. In an increasingly interconnected world, diasporas have emerged as powerful agents of change. This book delves deep into this phenomenon, and analyses how diasporic communities can become dynamic catalysts for development. It spans eleven insightful chapters, from India's strategic outreach to its global diaspora, to in-depth case studies of Indian communities in South Africa, the Gulf, Reunion Island, and Fiji. It goes further to examine unique models of diasporic engagement from around the world-such as the 3x1 Program of the Mexican diaspora in the U.S., the activism of the Hindu American Foundation, and the understated yet impactful Malagasy diaspora. With comparative insights from the Philippines' private sector engagement and Ethiopia's diaspora policies, this book unpacks the complex interplay between migration, identity, and development. Comparing India's journey with other global examples, this book offers crucial insights for policymakers, scholars, and development professionals. It serves as a practical guide for democratic nations with market economies seeking to tap into the immense potential of their own diasporic networks.

Their names are Mohamed, Samira, sometimes Matthieu or Sophie. They were born and bred in many parts of France and are highly qualified, but they have decided to go and live in London, New York, Montreal, Brussels, Geneva or Dubai. Many were discriminated against on the French job market, or stigmatised because they have the wrong religion or wrong-sounding names. Whether devout Muslims or not, they felt unloved and unwanted in France, and they find outside of France a sense of peace and fulfilment their native country would not give them. Outside of France they enjoy a 'right to indifference' they just couldn't find in their native country. This book, based on original research, sheds new light on the silent, never-talked-about flight abroad of French Muslims. It unpacks their motivations, their experiences in France and abroad, and their sense of Frenchness, fraught with bitterness as well as with gratitude. This book isn't just about an unreported brain-drain: it is also about the deleterious effects of Islamophobia in a country that balks at using the very concept. And it is about an urgent challenge that most countries with Muslim minorities need to confront.

Green, Sharony, Voices from a Black Miami Neighborhood: The Baa Haas, Liberty City, the Grove, and Beyond. (Palgrave Studies in Oral History) 136 pp. 2025:11 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-1024>
ISBN 978-3-032-01825-0 hard ¥10,028.- (税込) EUR 39.99

This Palgrave Pivot is a personal and universal history of gain and loss. Via memoir and oral histories, Sharony Green, a native of Miami with ancestral roots in the American South and the Bahamas, sheds light on ups and down of African American residents before and after the Second World War. The author uses the 'Baa Haas,' an outlying community in Miami-Dade County, a region that is also a gateway to Caribbean and Latin America, as a starting place to think through such things. As early as the New Deal era, white powerbrokers desired to relocate people of African descent from the lucrative waterfronts to a desolate and sandy area about twenty miles northwest of Miami's downtown. This community was later nicknamed the 'Baa Haas,' presumably because its nearby prehistoric beach resembled California's Bajas beaches. Whether spelled Baa Haas, Bajas or Bahas, the tiny neighborhood, whose biggest landmark nowadays is Hard Rock Stadium, is noteworthy. It was not until whites themselves settled there first, beginning in the fifties with the help of the 1944 GI bill, that people of African descent, aided by the Fair Housing Act of 1968, at last moved there. Some arrived from older Miami communities like Liberty City, Overtown and Coconut Grove or even elsewhere in the States. Essentially, two federal initiatives collided with positive gains for the oppressed. As people increasingly find themselves displaced owing to gentrification, this book permits an opportunity for readers to see what had been possible for prospective black homeowners.

Mahali, Alude / Tate, Shirley Anne (eds.), Dialogues on Decolonizing the University: Racialized Gender Transnational Learning. (Mapping Global Racisms) 224 pp. 2025:11 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-1029>
ISBN 978-3-031-94450-5 hard ¥32,600.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book offers a transnational exploration of the role gender and race intersectionality plays in decolonization efforts within universities. Engaging with local contexts from across the globe, each chapter examines decolonization, racialization, and gender(ization) in relation to higher education, highlighting the complexities, contradictions, and contestations of these processes. Through interdisciplinary perspectives, the collection frames decolonization as a global project, emphasizing its ongoing intersections with race, gender, and coloniality. The book brings together early career and established scholars from diverse regions, including Latin America, Africa, Europe, and North America, alongside activist knowledge production. It explores how decolonization must account for racialized gender, addressing knowledge, policy, methodology, and practice interventions. The contributors challenge fixed notions of what decolonization and racialized gender mean, arguing that these concepts continue to evolve in both theory and practice. This book will be of interest to scholars and activists working in the fields of decolonization, gender studies, race theory, higher education, and social justice, as well as anyone interested in how race and gender intersect in global movements for institutional change.

なぜ移民政策が困難か－そしてそれを改善する方法
Manning, Alan, Why Immigration Policy Is Hard: And How to Make It Better. 300 pp. 2025:11 (Polity Pr., UK) <756-1030>

Immigration policy will never satisfy everyone. It's a stubborn fact that more people will want to move to high-income countries than residents will want to admit. But, as Alan Manning - former head of Britain's Migration Advisory Committee - makes clear, that doesn't mean we can't do much better. We should start, Manning says, by ditching simplistic views that frame immigration as either wholly good or wholly bad. We will always have and need some level of immigration. But, just as inevitably, we will have rules on who can and cannot immigrate. To set those rules we need reliable evidence to navigate among the often-competing claims of the economy, culture, justice, and democracy. Manning supplies such evidence in abundance, guiding us through cutting-edge international research on key questions, including the effects of immigration on people's lives, their jobs and incomes, taxes and public services, and their communities. Why Immigration Policy Is Hard is an indispensable resource for informed debate on one of the most charged subjects in public life today.

Reece, Robert L., The Shades of Black Folk: Colorism Past, Present, and Future. 176 pp. 2025:12 (Polity Pr., UK) <756-1033>

Colorism - discrimination based on skin darkness within a racial group - has plagued Black Americans since their first arrival in this country. Although colorism has taken different forms over time, lighter-skinned Black people have always received advantages at the expense of their darker-skinned counterparts, and colorism is a problem that fosters ongoing social inequality to this day.The Shades of Black Folk traces the development and evolution of colorism in the US from its origins in the late eighteenth century right up to the present. It chronicles the phenomenon's various manifestations, from nineteenth-century debates about the fate of children born to parents of different races, through the contentious arguments between famed Black activists Marcus Garvey and W.E.B. DuBois, to the modern legal battles where judges struggle to adjudicate color discrimination cases. Recognizing that this issue is made more complicated by rarely being discussed in conversations about race and racial discrimination, Reece calls on readers to grapple with the complexities of color-based inequality and offers policy suggestions to tackle it.The Shades of Black Folk sheds light on an underexamined but all-too-powerful axis of social inequality and will be necessary reading for students of race, racism, and stratification.

Rogoveanu, Raluca-Nicoleta, Romanian Ethnic Organizations in the United States: Heritage, Legacy and Identity in the Early 20th Century. 149 pp. 2025:12 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-1034>
ISBN 978-3-032-03506-6 hard ¥22,568.- (税込) EUR 89.99

This monograph brings into focus the presence and voices of Romanian-Americans in the United States by examining the role of voluntary associations in shaping identity and community life during the first four decades of the 20th century. It offers a comprehensive analysis of Romanian ethnic organizations in their diverse forms-fraternal and mutual aid societies, political clubs, cultural associations, ladies' auxiliaries and youth groups-and describes them as crucibles of the Romanian immigrant experience in the New World. The book argues that ethnic associations served as effervescent spaces of cultural interaction, which enabled members to affirm both their loyalty to Romania and their commitment to American life. Grounded in original research based on primary sources from libraries and historical societies-many of which have not been previously examined in scholarly work-this book will be of interest to scholars in the areas of Ethnic Studies, Diaspora Studies, Cultural Studies and Anthropology.

"As a man of color, our image and reputation is everything. I have always kept my personal life and my private life separately. However, when I transitioned into higher education, I saw men who walked like me, talked like me, but also lived their truth in secret like me. It wasn't until I attended a higher education conference where I met this amazing Black man and he told me these words. No matter what you do in this life to thy own self always be true. You have one life, so live it and live it unapologetically. From that moment on, I begin to live my truth. One thing that I have learned is that people will not always respect your choices of how you live your life, however they will respect how you carry yourself when you live the life that you live in a positive light. So today, I am living my life mentoring, coaching, and inspiring the next generation of same gender-living males, because you only have one life to live and you can have it all. Success, love, truth, respect, but most importantly a life free from shame and guilt of denying who you are." -Desmond Dunklin "One experience that helped shape my identity as a Black, same-gender-loving male was during the height of the pandemic and quarantining. At that time, everyone was stuck inside, while also seeking community outside of our own minds. I was able to find community and curate a space on the audio app, "Clubhouse". I came together with a group of talented Black Queer men to create the group, "Black Gay Men Chat"! On the app, we were able to educate and highlight the lived experiences of Black SGL men across the world. I tapped into my creativity and my voice in so many ways, by producing multiple projects such as: a talent show through the "Black & Gay" group, a seductive improv audio show, "The Art of Seduction", a shoot your shot show "The Black Gay Bachelor", a book club called "Reading Rainbow", and facilitating/moderating multiple conversations across the platform (crystal meth in the Black Queer community, Black Gay Fatherhood, Dating Red Flags, etc). This experience shaped my identity because I was able to share/facilitate a space with individuals that were able to challenge me and validate my lived experiences, while bringing new perspectives to the conversations. Our group currently has 7,000+ members and showed me the power and influence that we have as Black Queer people when we come together. I recognize that at times society will not accept us fully which was evident in heterosexual spaces on the app where the expectation was for us to show-up "Black first", but we are full people, and we deserve to share and take up all the space we desire, while standing in all that we are. This experience was empowering, inspiring, and made me feel seen holistically." -Sean Rice, Jr. "As a Black gay male, this project holds personal significance for me, providing a rare space to openly communicate, share, and embrace Black, gay, male experiences within higher education. Each section unfolds as an individual narrative, emphasizing the importance of every unique story." -Antione D. Tomlin, PhD

Huey P. Newton was called many things in his time: revolutionary, genius, criminal, even the most surveilled human being in world history. Yet, little is known about him still because of persistent distortions to his name and legacy as co-founder of the Black Panther Party.In this new and much-needed intellectual biography, political theorist Delio Vasquez establishes Newton as a true and original philosopher. Newton's compassion for the suffering of the people of the streets led him to develop innovative theories for how the most oppressed could spearhead revolutionary change against rising technocracy through communal defense of loving communities. The Panthers forged alliances with Black student unions and street gangs, Hollywood elites and poor whites, the gay liberation movement and Third World nations.Newton left behind dozens of unpublished manuscripts analyzing anthropology, politics, feminist thought, education, philosophy, evolutionary biology, and theology - ideas presented here for the first time. Vasquez also puts into proper perspective Newton's late descent into addiction and madness, a direct effect of U.S. government techniques of war that targeted his mind, body, and soul in ways that are still all too relevant. Today, Newton's maxim "I am we," resounds more than ever.

What does it mean to reckon with a legacy of white supremacy? White Work and Reparative Genealogy invites white-identifying readers on a courageous journey into the heart of ancestral memory, historical accountability, and racial repair. Clinical psychologist Mary Watkins traces her family's lineage from 1607 Jamestown through generations of slave ownership and racial violence in the American South. Blending personal narrative, historical research, and psychological insight, Watkins models a practice of "white work"-a form of reparative genealogy that confronts the silences and distortions in white family histories. With reflective questions at the end of each chapter, this book offers practical tools for readers ready to explore their own histories and take action toward racial justice. This is a book for those who seek to move through guilt and shame-not around them-toward healing, solidarity, and shared liberation.

Escape the Cape, From Existing to Evolving: Amplifying Voices of Black and Brown Women in the Mental Health Profession examines the narratives of Black and Brown women all over the world who adherently take on the Superwoman Persona. The imaginative armor of a cape contributes to the normalcy of trying to "do it all" for others while neglecting the self. The book amplifies the voices of Black and Brown women in the mental health and academia professions who needed a healthy outlet to shed light on their experiences. This book stems from an asset-based approach where chapter authors highlight the ebbs and flows they experienced in the workplace due to having melanated skin and/or identifying as Black and Brown. So many Black and Brown women have suffered in silence because of exploitive workplace politics and practices and haven't felt safe, valued, or heard; the "need" of Black and Brown women became greater than their humanity. Escape the Cape, From Existing to Evolving is a call to action. It contributes to elevating scholarly conversations for employers who are seeking strategies in promoting equity in the workplace.
