From Access, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to Creative Justice in the U.S. Creative Sector

In this chapter, I pose ADEI and creative justice as a solution to address the enduring wicked problem of caste and the discrimination, exclusion, marginalization, oppression, othering, subalterning, and subjugation that it produces within the U.S. creative sector. I further define these practices, theorize the relationship that exists between them, and describe their relationship to creative justice. Lastly, I argue that ADEI are short-term goals and practices in and of themselves that enable creative justice, the long-term goal for which the creative sector should aim to achieve.
