Diversity

These presentations and posters discuss the importance of diversity and its impacts on society, as well as the consequences of its absence. Diversity and inclusivity are discussed for different themes, such as race, gender equality, disabilities and disorders, and more. Specific scholarship and research in a variety of disciplines explore issues related to socioeconomic status, gender, race, age, ethnicity, intellectual or physical ability, religious or political beliefs, sexual orientation, and mental illness.
