“…The social equity literature prior to 2018 began to evince paired dynamics, namely linking social equity to related concepts and drawing from other fields. On the first dynamic, scholarly works began linking concepts of diversity, cultural competency, inclusion, methodologies and philosophies of knowledge, representative bureaucracy, and emotional labor to equity issues, noting that these concepts were all necessary, albeit not sufficient, conditions for understanding and fostering fairness for all (see Guy & McCandless, 2012;Guy et al, 2008;Norman-Major & Gooden, 2012;Riccucci, 2010;Riccucci, 2015;Riccucci & Van Ryzin, 2017). On the second dynamic, scholars in public administration began drawing more often from other literatures, whether explicitly or implicitly, in other fields to bring new analytical tools to the field, especially regarding feminism and queer theory (Swan, 2004), critical race theory (Alkadry & Blessett, 2010;Gaynor, 2018), theories of justice (Federickson, 2010;Rawls, 1971), and intersectionality (Blessett, 2018;Love et al, 2016).…”
