Over the last several years, CRIW has increased its efforts to support projects bringing attention to the experiences of those from underserved, and equity-deserving communities. Recognizing that much research ignores the varied and distinct realities of diverse workers, the Center and its affiliates are seeking to advocate for, and raise the profile of, diverse employees. Within CRIW’s research stream, Supporting Equity-Deserving Groups at Work, scholars are currently exploring the workplace experiences of Black, Indigenous and peoples of colour, those with disabilities, precarious workers, international students, single working mothers, and youth (to name a few). Offering a wide array of research questions and methodologies – and often through an intersectional lens – this collection of ongoing work seeks to close damaging gaps in knowledge around the organizational realities of diverse individuals, thus advancing the needs of all employees.
