The Routledge Handbook of LGBTQ Identity in Organizations and Society

Sexuality, gender, gender identity, and gender expression are fluid constructs, and the ways in which identity development intersects with organizations and exists in society, is complex. The book is comprised of a range of multi-disciplinary and globally-inspired perspectives representing leading-edge scholarship on a range of issues and contexts regarding LGBTQ identity and experience. Chapter authors represent over a dozen countries. It is intended for a wide readership: those who are in LGBTQ related academic fields; those who want to broaden their coursework by offering supplemental readings that center the perspectives of LGBTQ identities; those who want to acquire knowledge and education on the subject of LGBTQ identity. There are 36 chapters written by scholars in fields such as social work, law, queer studies, business, human resource management and development, entrepreneurship, criminal justice, economics, marketing, religion, architecture, sport, theatre, psychology, human ecology, and adult education. The chapters can be read in sequence, used as a reference work for which educators, practitioners, and non-academics can identify and select particular chapters that inform areas of inquiry.
