F oreword This project began concretely with the Diversity and Inclusion Task Force convened at Clark University in the fall semester of 2011. The need for more multiply informed approaches to diversity and inclusion efforts was clear to many of us then. And now, with aggressively far right approaches globally assailing societies daily, the need for thoughtful, civically responsi- ble, and action-oriented responses seems to have accelerated significantly. We hope that this volume will stimulate such responses and ask that you join in these efforts by contributing your own ideas, sharing successful approaches, and urging others to sustain those hallmarks of human dignity that have evolved over time and that stem the tide against raw capitalism intended to benefit only a few.
