Abstract
This chapter is based on the pioneering work of Judith H. Katz, Ed.D. in systems change to address issues of racism and social justice and infuse organization development with these concepts to build inclusive organizations. The author describes Katz’s research, methodology, models, teaching, and client consultations in the field of applied behavioral science (ABS). The author reflects on implications and impact of Katz’s legacy, on future organization development practitioners, and the discourse on the role of organization development as a catalyst for racial and social justice.
When we try to bring about change in our societies, we are treated first with indifference, then with ridicule, then with abuse and then with oppression. And finally, the greatest challenge is thrown at us: We are treated with respect. This is the most dangerous stage. -A.T. Ariyarante
