Series: Studies in Critical Social Sciences

The contributors to this edited volume offer critical analyses on many aspects of diversity as it pertains to institutional policies, practices, discourse, and beliefs. The book is broken down into 19 chapters over 7 sections that cover: policies and politics; pedagogy and higher education; STEM; religion; communities; complex organisations; and discourse and identity.

Collectively, these chapters contribute to answering three main questions:

1) what, ultimately, does diversity mean

2) what are the various mechanisms by which institutions understand and use diversity

3) why is it important for us to rethink diversity?
