Human migration has reached an unprecedented level, and the numbers are expected to continue growing into the foreseeable future. Host societies and migrants face challenges in ensuring that the benefits of migration accrue to both parties, and that economic and socio-cultural costs are minimized. An insightful comparative examination of the policies and practices that manage and support immigrants, Twenty-First-Century Immigration to North America identifies and addresses issues that arose in the early years of the twenty-first century and considers what to expect in the years ahead. The volume begins with an overview of immigration policies and practices in the United States and Canada, then moves to an investigation of the economic and socio-cultural aspects, and concludes with a dialogue on precarious migration. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the editors include research from the areas of psychology, political science, economics, sociology, and public policy. Underscoring the complicated nature of immigration, this collection aims to foster further discussion and inspire future research in the United States and Canada.

The Sage Handbook of Psychological Perspectives on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is a landmark volume that brings together global scholarship to examine the psychological foundations, challenges, and possibilities of DEI in today’s world. At a time when DEI efforts are increasingly under political and cultural scrutiny, this handbook offers a timely, evidence-based, and interdisciplinary resource for understanding and advancing equity and inclusion across societies.

Spanning 46 chapters and contributions from authors in 16 countries, the handbook explores the psychological dimensions of DEI while drawing on insights from sociology, political science, and related fields. It critically reviews the state of the literature, identifies promising directions for future research, and offers practical guidance for policy and practice. The volume is structured into seven thematic sections, covering foundational theories, dynamic processes, strategies for change, group-specific experiences, sectoral applications, and future directions.

With a commitment to intellectual rigor and respectful dialogue, the Handbook embraces the creative tensions that exist within DEI work. This handbook does not shy away from critique—it invites it, offering a space for reflection, disagreement, and growth. It is both a scholarly resource and a call to action for building more just, inclusive, and equitable societies.

Section 1: Introduction to DEISection 2: Foundations for Understanding and Promoting DEISection 3: Dynamic Processes for Understanding and Promoting DEISection 4: Strategies for Promoting DEISection 5: Understanding and Promoting DEI for Specific GroupsSection 6: Understanding and Promoting DEI in Specific Sectors and ContextsSection 7: Where Next for DEI?

Tillfälligt slut

This book discusses the role of psychology in understanding the processes associated with immigrants and immigration, and in meeting the challenge of managing immigration successfully and in ways that facilitate the achievement and well-being of immigrants, that benefit the country collectively, and that produce the cooperation and support of members of the receiving society. It considers how the study of immigrants and immigration offers potential benefits to the discipline of psychology and describes how a psychological perspective on this topic can complement in important ways other disciplinary perspectives.

Tillfälligt slut

This issue focuses on the contribution of psychological theory and research to facilitating successful immigration and integration.Coverage includes both sides of the equation-the attitudes and values of members of the host society as well as the motivations and experiences of immigrants themselves-and includes contributions from investigators on four continents. The work presented in this issue covers four continents; countries include Australia, Canada, Chile, France, Germany, the Netherland, the United Kingdom and the United States; this geographical breadth is unusual in a single volume and should increase its readership baseMethods include experiments, questionnaires and surveys, interviews, longitudinal analyses, and meta-analytic techniquesIncludes the perspectives of both immigrants and members of the host countries, as well as articles that look at the interchange between these two perspectivesExplicit consideration of policy is part of the coverage, represented in particular by the final article written by a Canadian immigration policy specialistFor all of those in the field of social psychology who personally knew or professional respected Kenneth Dion, this issue is dedicated to him and to the many contributions that he made to social psychology in general and to the study of immigration in particular
