With strong relevance to ongoing global conversations surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion, the book encourages constructive dialogue and provides innovative advice. Situated within contemporary career discourse, it is grounded in sustainable career ecosystem theory and aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Chapters cover a diverse range of inclusion-related experiences, prioritising respectful representation of individual narratives and affirming the importance of linguistic and cultural sensitivity. By offering strategies for inclusive event planning, it underscores the importance of proactive allyship, co-creation, and advocacy in dismantling systemic barriers to promote an inclusive and sustainable ecosystem for all.
How to Organise Inclusive Conferences and Workshops is a justice-oriented guide for those committed to cultivating genuinely inclusive environments, including academics and other professionals involved in planning and delivering these events. It is also an essential resource for students and scholars in education and business and management.
