ABSTRACT
In this final chapter, I briefly summarize the book. Further bolstering the argument for shifting the creative sector’s long-term goal to creative justice and the implications for not doing so, I then interrogate the current state of (A)DEI in the U.S. I also suggest a research agenda that practitioners and scholars should partner in investigating to identify and conceptualize effective evidence-based approaches for combating caste and the discrimination, exclusion, marginalization, oppression, othering, subalterning, and subjugation that it produces within the U.S. creative sector. Lastly, I close this chapter with a call to action, including advocacy for developing a code of ethics to guide sectoral-wide behavior and decision-making toward eradicating caste while manifesting creative justice within the creative sector.
