On The Elements of Diversity: Definitions and New Considerations

Research on diversity, equity, and inclusion has expanded rapidly over the past decade or so. This symposium makes note of that expansion by considering existing definitions (and related epistemologies) of diversity and presenting novel research in some key areas of the diversity literature. We do so by presenting a literary review of diversity definitions and new research on effects of diversity, equity, and inclusion definitions and processes on leadership, diversity climate and constituent attachment, and stereotype threat in pre- and post-selection situations.
