I am sending along notice of a book on deep level diversity management
strategies that I think aligns with MG-ED-DVers interests.

Diversity in the workplace has made significant progress in United States
companies. Unfortunately, much of the apparent progress has been at the
surface-level of diversity (Hiller & Day, 2004), where readily visible
characteristics identify people of varying genders, ages, ethnicity, and
religions. What are needed are prescriptions, based on solid theory and
research, that will allow the deep-level diversity to transform well
intentioned affirmative action programs from their old reliance on surface
level diversity to a new reliance on deep-level diversity. It is our hope
that this volume will stimulate the scholarly activity needed to make
progress toward the above stated goal of making deep-level diversity the
benchmark of human progress in the workplace.
