Synopsis

Social Equity is an imperative of public administration. Using the most up-to-date information available, and with chapters written by rising experts in the field, Achieving Social Equity offers a go-to guide on what administrators really need to know about social equity—definitions, major equity issues facing the field, future concerns, and ways public service professionals can take responsibility for and achieve social equity.

The goal of Achieving Social Equity is to sensitize public service professionals to the challenges that equity issues raise. The book goes beyond “admiring the problem” to suggesting implementable solutions.

Praise for Achieving Social Equity:

“Social Equity, while recognized as the fourth pillar of public administration, remains underexamined. This book fills a much-needed gap in our teachings and scholarship of social equity by addressing a wide array of policy issues from public transportation to homelessness to environmental challenges. The co-editors have done an excellent job at identifying these pressing issues and utilizing a social equity lens to address them.” (Meghna Sabharwal, University of Texas at Dallas)
