the field of diversity
uh? What? What is that? Define 'diversity.'
- mjg59 9y agoThe field of study of the causes of unrepresentative populations and the strategies for mitigation of those causes.
- canoebuilder 9y agoIs that a thing? or did you just make it up? Can you link a couple .edu departments. Does this field just care about "unrepresentative populations" of people interested in coding, or do they also care about "unrepresentative populations" of olympic sprinters, fishing boat crews, and kindergarten teachers?

- canoebuilder 9y agoCan you link to one that cares about the apparently highly important matter of "unrepresentative populations" of people interested in coding, and why that is an issue of greater interest than any of the other countless "unrepresentative populations"? The one's I looked just seemed like a mish mash of meaningless postmodern babble. What happened to the scholarly tradition of penetrating insight and clarity?
