Book excerpt: The impact of race, sex, gender, disability, and socioeconomic status on health and quality of life has been well established. Now, perhaps more than ever, there is a demand for equitable and timely access to rehabilitation. Incorporating principles of equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility into clinical practice and research is essential for addressing the unique needs of rehabilitation clients. There is also a need to critically examine the integration of anti-oppressive and anti-racist frameworks into rehabilitation care. Strategies that promote accessible and affordable participation, health promotion, technology, and interdisciplinary collaboration in rehabilitation are also needed. The impact of gender, sexual orientation, race and religion, and socioeconomic status on rehabilitation service delivery and outcomes is less well known. Within the context of rehabilitation science, we need to understand these differences and illuminate how to better serve equity-deserving groups.

Book excerpt: The most recent high-profile advocate for Americans with disabilities, actor Christopher Reeve, has highlighted for the public the economic and social costs of disability and the importance of rehabilitation. Enabling America is a major analysis of the field of rehabilitation science and engineering. The book explains how to achieve recognition for this evolving field of study, how to set priorities, and how to improve the organization and administration of the numerous federal research programs in this area. The committee introduces the "enabling-disability process" model, which enhances the concepts of disability and rehabilitation, and reviews what is known and what research priorities are emerging in the areas of: Pathology and impairment, including differences between children and adults. Functional limitationsâ€"in a person's ability to eat or walk, for example. Disability as the interaction between a person's pathologies, impairments, and functional limitations and the surrounding physical and social environments. This landmark volume will be of special interest to anyone involved in rehabilitation science and engineering: federal policymakers, rehabilitation practitioners and administrators, researchers, and advocates for persons with disabilities.

Book excerpt: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI): A Practical Guide provides readers with an effective model for fostering DEI within a variety of contexts, including education, corporate settings, nonprofit agencies, social organizations, and more. It equips any grouping of individuals with a desire to advance issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion with the ability to clearly articulate their goals and then strategically move toward them. Each of the chapters within this brief and accessible volume outlines a specific step within the greater DEI model: identifying the area of DEI to be addressed; articulating intended outcomes; identifying metrics of changes; listing and securing the resources needed to achieve expected outcomes; deciding upon an entity or individual who will be accountable for the change process; and establishing a clear timeline. Throughout, examples illuminate the material and bring the spirit of the model to life. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is an excellent and timely resource, whether for individuals and organizations who are new to concepts and processes related to DEI, or those who have experience but want to take their practices to the next level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to address the challenges and opportunities for women, especially from underrepresented communities, in wildlife professions. Women in Wildlife Science is dedicated to the work of promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the field of wildlife conservation and management. Editors Carol L. Chambers and Kerry L. Nicholson have collaborated with a diverse group of contributors to review the history, analyze the status, and celebrate the achievements of women in wildlife science. They share proven models and proposals for new methods to increase the inclusion of women in wildlife professions based on an intersectional framework. Centering perspectives from LGBTQ, BIPOC, Indigenous, and other marginalized communities, Women in Wildlife Science is a groundbreaking and vitally important book. Covering academic and professional spheres, the book lays bare the challenges women face entering and excelling in the field of wildlife conservation and management, illustrated by personal stories of struggle and victory, and grounded in peer-reviewed scientific literature unavailable anywhere else. In order to move the discourse around diversity in the wildlife profession forward, the team of contributors Chambers and Nicholson have assembled tackle pivotal issues, from recruitment into academic programs to hiring practices and supporting career advancement in federal, state, local, tribal, and private sectors. Opening with the stories of wildlife's founding women, and a concise presentation of facts and figures clarifying recent trends and the current state of women in the field, the heart of the book is then dedicated to sharing practical advice about how to increase, recognize, and encourage women's contributions. Each chapter includes original exercises constructed to help administrators, educators, managers, allies, and mentors move intentions into action. Focused attention is given to mentoring early career professionals, Indigenous women, and Women of Color. Women in Wildlife Science is a pragmatic guide to ensuring a more diverse, just, and equitable future for a workforce dedicated to preserving not just wildlife but the very fabric of the natural world.
