Kommentar

Diversity has become a major topic in debates around social inclusion and equality. This course serves as an introduction to the paradigm of diversity and the political struggles and strategies to push for inclusion and recognition in a variety of social and institutional contexts. As a starting point, the group will critically engage with the term “Diversity” and see its possibilities and limitations. For this, we will revise different theories, definitions and ways to measure diversity as well as contemporary critique of the language of diversity and alternative theoretical contributions from critical race, gender and postcolonial studies. The course places great importance on an intersectional perspective. Subsequently, the course will focus on the “politics” of diversity, that is, the ways in which through organised collective actions, actors are able to dispute and disrupt spaces in order to assert their claims for recognition, inclusion and equality. The course is highly praxis-oriented and will focus in the last section on concrete examples based on diversity strategies and policies of different public institutions such as government organisations and higher education institutions.
