While video clips have undoubtedly advanced the practice of management education, social cognitive theory suggests that new sources of video clips may augment ongoing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) efforts in management classrooms and organizations. In this article, we begin by reviewing social cognitive theory research that points to links between video clips and DE&I outcomes that are part of many management classes and training curricula. Based on this social cognitive theory perspective, we discuss how management educators might foster learning and inclusion in management classrooms and organizations by incorporating video clips with a greater variety of demographic populations in managerial and organizationally impactful roles. To this end, we also provide a list of video resources that can be used to refresh or supplement the resources currently being used in undergraduate, graduate, online (synchronous and asynchronous), executive education, and corporate training courses that may present more homogeneous casts.
