Developing More Equitable And Critically Conscious Organizations: Testimonios And Critical Platicas With Black And Latino/X Lgbtq+ Male Chrd Leaders, Mario Burton

This dissertation connects the recent DEIB movement within organizations to larger social justice movements, specifically those that impact workers and the workplace.
