Come Walk With Me: Facilitating a Learning Journey in DEIJ

Abstract

This chapter underscores the increasing importance of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) education in business schools, citing societal disparities, corporate commitments, and social movements. The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) emphasizes the role of diverse representation in faculty, staff, and curriculum to inspire learners and foster diverse leadership in business. The call for integrated DEIJ throughout the business curriculum is not new, and the text suggests introducing these topics through a stand-alone foundational course. It acknowledges the challenges of curricular changes and recommends democratic processes for effective implementation. This chapter encourages exploring the impact of biases in artificial intelligence (AI) and suggests incorporating discussions on AI tools like ChatGPT as educational opportunities to address biases within the context of business and society.
