Abstract

This chapter explores the intersection of organization development (OD) and social justice work. OD’s open system of ideas, principles, and practices has allowed the authors to create an approach to consultation rooted in OD frameworks and social justice movements. The chapter illuminates values that have emerged from working with traditionally marginalized individuals and organizations, acknowledges the influence of classic OD values on the authors’ practices, explores conflicts and tensions inherent in this intersection, and offers insights about the mutual influence of OD and social justice. It concludes with key principles for sustainable practice of OD through a social justice lens.

Fußnoten
1
We also use “social justice” as a descriptor of our client systems. We consider social justice organizations to be a subset of mission-driven entities. We also use “traumatized systems” when that is the most appropriate descriptor.
 
2
Trauma is an experience for which a group is emotionally and cognitively unprepared, one that overwhelms its defensive (self-protective) structure and leaves the entity vulnerable and at least temporarily helpless (H. F. Stein, Personal communication, September 9, 2004). Traumatization means enduring the ill effects of trauma embedded in the organizational culture.
 
3
Cumulative trauma is the impact of repeated trauma that eventually traumatizes the organization and makes it less productive and more self-protective.
 
4
Privilege, characteristically invisible, gives advantage, favors, or benefits to members of a dominant group at the expense of members of target groups, for example, white privilege or male privilege (Leaven, 2003).
 
5
Oppressed groups are subject to one or more of the following five conditions: exploitation, marginalization, powerlessness, cultural imperialism, and violence (Young, 2000).
