The future is disabled : prophecies, love notes, and mourning songs / by Piepzna-Samarasinha, Leah Lakshmi,1975-author.(CARDINAL)786933;
Includes bibliographical references."An essay collection that expands on Leah's bestselling book Care Work, centering and uplifting disability justice and care in the pandemic era. In The Future Is Disabled, Leah Laksmi Piepzna-Samarasinha asks some provocative questions: What if, in the near future, the majority of people will be disabled--and what if that's not a bad thing? And what if disability justice and disabled wisdom are crucial to creating a future in which it's possible to survive fascism, climate change, and pandemics and to bring about liberation? Building on the work of her game-changing book, Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice, Piepzna-Samarasinha writes about disability justice at the end of the world, documenting the many ways disabled people kept and are keeping each other--and the rest of the world--alive during Trump, fascism, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Other subjects include crip interdependence, care and mutual aid in real life, disabled community building, and disabled art practice as survival and joy. Written over the course of two years of disabled isolation during the pandemic, this is a book of love letters to other disabled QTBIPOC (and those concerned about disability justice, the care crisis, and surviving the apocalypse); honour songs for kin who are gone; recipes for survival; questions and real talk about care, organizing, disabled families, and kin networks and communities; and wild brown disabled femme joy in the face of death. With passion and power, The Future Is Disabled remembers our dead and insists on our future."--

Expand beyond your current culture : diversity & inclusion for CEOs & leadership / by Short, Leslie,author.;
Successful diversity and inclusion requires D&I programs that are strategic and proactive, with unlimited vision, part of an overall organizational culture. Unfortunately, most approaches to diversity and inclusion haven't been successful -- half of all workers from underrepresented groups experience bias every day at work even though their organizations have diversity programs in place. So what should organizations do? In Expand Beyond Your Current Culture, Leslie Short examines the continually evolving D&I challenges that organizations face and shows leaders how to ensure that all employees have opportunities to express who they are and are comfortable doing so. In an engaging, conversational style she offers tips on how to think differently about diversity and inclusion to achieve a sustainable, diverse and inclusive workplace. In this inspiring new book you'll discover: Why many D&I programs haven't worked and what you can do differently New ways to think about cultural differences and how unconscious and implicit bias affects the workplace The understanding of Nothing About Us Without Us How to identify D&I needs and measure progress in meeting them How to engage in meaningful conversations about diversity and inclusion with others in the organization Ways to ensure that your company culture matches what it says about diversity and inclusion What your organization needs to do to clearly demonstrate its commitment to diversity and inclusion How to educate and sensitize not only senior leaders but all employees What tools that senior leaders, D&I directors, and employees need to succeed How organizations in other countries are approaching corporate diversity and inclusion
