Examines one of the most important and yet elusive terms in higher education and society: What do we mean when we talk in a serious way about "diversity"? A group of diversity scholars explore the latest discourse on diversity and how it is reflected in research and practice. Chapters trace how the discourse on diversity is newly shaped after many of the 20th century concepts of race, ethnicity, gender and class have lost authority.
