Inclusion: Old Wine in New Bottles?

Abstract

An initial reaction to the concept of inclusion is that it may very well be a case of old wine in new bottles. Calling for inclusion in opposition to exclusion is a natural theoretical and practical response to the historical barriers to workplace equality in organizations. This chapter traces the historical evolution of theoretical and practical approaches to dealing with social identity differences in the workplace. The focus is on the United States, as it is the country where research and practical attention began, although greater attention has been paid to transnational conceptions of diversity and inequality in the workplace more recently. The chapter critically and reflectively examines the ways in which inclusion is different from or similar to previous approaches, drawing from the contributions in Diversity at Work.
