As the nature of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in higher education and organizations rapidly shift due to legislative initiatives, this Professional Development Workshop (PDW) aims to facilitate the process of re-thinking how to navigate the DEI research landscape. The rapid reshaping and fluidity of DEI in organizations remains a central concern for scholars and organizational leaders. We hope to deepen the understanding of the current discourse on DEI by suggesting ways to broaden the DEI conversation. We will do this by facilitating a critical discussion concerning (1) the current state of DEI and Higher Education, (2) the progression/regression of DEI within organizations, (3) the benefits of deep-level diversity variables, outcomes, and frameworks, and (4) methodological approaches to DEI research.
