Edited by Adelina M. Broadbridge, Stirling Management School, University of Stirling and Sandra L. Fielden, Honorary Senior Lecturer in Organisational Psychology, Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, UK

This unique Research Handbook covers a wide range of issues that affect the careers of those in diverse groups: age, disability, gender, race, religion, sexuality and transgender, as well as appearance. International experts from a variety of backgrounds contribute chapters in their given fields, reviewing current thinking, practices, initiatives and developments within the field, as well as presenting a wide-ranging and holistic coverage of the topic.

‘It stands proudly and reliably as a source of reference and practical guidance to researchers and explorers in the field of human diversity.’
– Keith Jackson, Asia Pacific Business Review

‘This comprehensive Research Handbook provides an in-depth analysis of thinking and research in the field of diversity and careers. With original contributions from key international scholars, it addresses contemporary issues around individual career development based on eight diversity themes that include “core” areas of gender, age, disability and race as well as new, emergent areas of relevance: appearance, sexuality, religion and transgender. In bringing together scholarship from a range of national contexts and of disciplinary backgrounds, it provides a wide-ranging view of contemporary thinking on diversity and careers and future directions of research.’
– Ruth Simpson, Brunel University, UK

‘This Research Handbook offers a wide cover of the intersection between career studies and diversity management. The collection pulls together available knowledge written by experts in the field. This is a much needed Research Handbook for scholars in these fields, edited by two scholarly leaders, with high level of rigor and relevance.’
– Yehuda Baruch, University of Southampton, UK
