Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Industry: A Subject Review
Publication: Construction Research Congress 2024
ABSTRACT
The body of literature exploring how diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) percolates in technical environments is growing. These studies adopt various goals and methodologies. However, limited systematic analyses exist regarding the status, development, and trends of DEI research in the architecture-engineering-construction (AEC) industry. This paper presents a systematic literature review of recent DEI research trends in AEC by analyzing relevant publications. Both descriptive and content analyses were performed, considering the annual number of papers and the range of topics addressed. This review offers an enhanced understanding of the current state of DEI research, highlighting achievements, research gaps, and future research directions. This review is valuable for researchers aiming to address limitations and expand the scope of DEI research and for industry professionals seeking to implement DEI best practices.
