ABSTRACT
It is both a stimulating and a challenging time to be engaged in what might be called ‘diversity studies’. It is stimulating because there is currently an outpouring of academic work surrounding diversity. Contemporary scholarship on diversity condenses and builds upon decades of signifi - cant empirical and theoretical work surrounding key concepts like race, gender and sexuality as well as subjects such as discrimination, social movements and social inequality. Diversity is undoubtedly a hot topic in the social sciences and humanities.
