What Next for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion? Moral Responsibility and Ethical Practice in EDI

Abstract This review essay provides a reading of Maddy Janssens and Chris Steyaert’s On Practising Diversity . The essay begins by noting the surprising lack of discussion in our field at the intersection of diversity and ethics. This is becoming especially problematic as practices and philosophies associated diversity are questioned by leaders in large corporations and by politicians in office and aspirants. The essay and the reading of the book conclude with observations on the nature of resistance to enforced sameness and the closing of diverse spaces, pointing towards an imminent and urgent research agenda.
