Description
Summary:Diversity education in academic and business settings has common goals of helping students or employees to learn diversity knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Unfortunately, researchers are missing opportunities to capitalize on the unique characteristics of each setting to answer research questions of general interest. We review the research from 1970 to the present reporting evaluations of diversity education initiatives targeting adult learners. We identify a series of unanswered research questions and suggest ways that these questions can be addressed in academic or business contexts. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
