Welcome to the SJOC Community

This community is created for a massive open access learning and book project committed to critical reflection about organizational change and imagining new ways to facilitate change while centering social justice. Social Justice in Organizational Change (SJOC) sets out to provide an opportunity for students, practitioners, leaders, instructors, and researchers of organizational change to:

·       Engage in critical thinking about the background, underlying assumptions, and current practice of organizational change and change management to disrupt and demonstrate deconstruction of the dominant values and narratives of change leadership.

·       Approach their work with an awareness and explicit acknowledgment of the oppressive assumptions, power inequalities, methodologies and tools that permeate our field.

·       Consider perspectives from emergent voices coming from those who have experienced marginalization, who come from non-Western contexts, or who teach Traditional Indigenous Knowledge.

·       Offer practitioners organizational change methods and tools grounded in anti-racism and anti-oppression perspectives.

·       Identify and provide perspectives that are more expansive, power-sharing, and inclusive of those who have experienced marginalization, who come from non-Western contexts, and who teach Traditional Indigenous Knowledge.

·       Discover through this process opportunities for more connectivity and exploration in community for those interested in intentional dialogue and sharing of experiences.

The current SJOC community administrator and editor is Kimberly Scott ([email protected]). If you would like to collaborate with others to create a chapter or other creative work for the SJOC anthology, please contact Kimberly.
