Bobby Siu is a management consultant, McLaughlin Fellow, and a former adjunct professor in the School of Public Policy, Administration and Law at York University.

"Bobby Siu’s Racism at Work offers a thorough analysis of racism in our society, specifically as it operates in our work worlds which are the epicenters of our lives. In line with cutting-edge scholarship the author views racism as an overwhelming force that permeates the lives and livelihoods of racialized and Indigenous peoples. The truly distinguishing feature is the book’s ability to elevate our discourse around notions of social justice and aspirations toward truly equitable participation." - Lorne Foster, Director, Institute for Social Research, and York Research Chair in Black Canadian Studies and Human Rights, York University "Racism at Work is a comprehensive, practical overview of racism against racialized and Indigenous peoples in the Canadian workplace through a human rights lens. It provides an in-depth examination of racism organized thematically to address the progressive stages of employment from seeking a job, the hiring process, promotion and advancement, and termination. It includes an innovative treatment of how artificial intelligence is an emerging site for racism on the job. This book will be a valuable resource for human rights and human resources for many years." - Les Jacobs, Vice-President, Research and Innovation, Ontario Tech University, and Professor Emeritus and York Research Chair in Human Rights and Access to Justice, York University "This is an incredibly thought-provoking and informative work that explains racism beyond its normative context. In giving us an alternative viewpoint on racism, Bobby Siu has presented us with a new perspective. This book is brimming with references that are both erudite and intriguing, which will provide both specialists and general readers with a wealth of insight." - Aminur Rahim, Professor of Development Studies (retired), University of Fort Hare "Racism at Work is a comprehensive appraisal and glaring reminder of the permanence of racism in the workplace—a microcosm of broader Canadian society. Siu makes the compelling argument that the power to oppose stereotyping and prejudice in recruiting, hiring, and retention practices is within the authority of employers and human resources, if only they would actively confront individual and collective biases that maintain corporate status quos of whiteness." - Angie Wong, Senior Consultant, Primary Care Alberta and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Community Health Sciences, University of Calgary
