In a stimulating interchange between feminist studies and biology, Banu Subramaniam explores how her dissertation on flower colour variation in morning glories launched her on an intellectual odyssey that engaged the feminist studies of sciences in the experimental practices of science by tracing the central and critical idea of variation in biology.

What challenges are presented by the claim that diversity should be celebrated? How should equality politics respond to controversial constituencies, such as smokers and sports hunters, when they position themselves as disadvantaged? Challenging Diversity brings a new and original approach to key issues facing social, political and cultural theory. Critically engaging with feminist, radical democratic and liberal scholarship, the book addresses four major challenges confronting a radical equality politics. Namely, what does equality mean for preferences and choices that appear harmful; are equality's subjects individuals, groups or something else; what power do dominant norms have to undermine equality-oriented reforms; and can radical practices endure when they collide with the mainstream? Taking examples from religion, gender, sexuality, state policy-making and intentional communities, Challenging Diversity maps new ways of understanding equality, explores the politics of its pursuit, and asks what kinds of diversity does a radical version of equality engender.

What does diversity do? What are we doing when we use the language of diversity? Sara Ahmed offers an account of the diversity world based on interviews with diversity practitioners in higher education, as well as her own experience of doing diversity work. Diversity is an ordinary, even unremarkable, feature of institutional life. Yet diversity practitioners often experience institutions as resistant to their work, as captured through their use of the metaphor of the "brick wall." On Being Included offers an explanation of this apparent paradox. It explores the gap between symbolic commitments to diversity and the experience of those who embody diversity. Commitments to diversity are understood as "non-performatives" that do not bring about what they name. The book provides an account of institutional whiteness and shows how racism can be obscured by the institutionalization of diversity. Diversity is used as evidence that institutions do not have a problem with racism. On Being Included offers a critique of what happens when diversity is offered as a solution. It also shows how diversity workers generate knowledge of institutions in attempting to transform them

The agenda of contemporary western feminism focuses on equal participation in work and education, reproductive rights, and sexual freedom. But what does feminism mean to the women of rural India who work someone else's fields, young Thai girls in the sex industry in Bangkok, or Filipino maids working for wealthy women in Hong Kong? In this 1998 book, Chilla Bulbeck presents a bold challenge to the hegemony of white, western feminism in this incisive and wide-ranging exploration of the lived experiences of 'women of colour'. She examines debates on human rights, family relationships, sexuality, and notions of the individual and community to show how their meanings and significance in different parts of the world contest the issues which preoccupy contemporary Anglophone feminists. She then turns the focus back on Anglo culture to illustrate how the theories and politics of western feminism are viewed by non-western women.

Diversiteit is een belangrijk actueel onderwerp in de Belgische politiek: politieke partijen pakken er graag mee uit, in maatschappelijke discussies gaat men op zoek naar woordvoerders uit die groep en politici uit een bepaalde groep profileren zich als verdediger van die groepsbelangen. Dit boek brengt vooraanstaande politicologen, sociologen en historici samen die, vertrekkende vanuit een gemeenschappelijk theoretisch kader over vertegenwoordiging, de politieke vertegenwoordiging van verscheidene maatschappelijke groepen in België belichten. Naast maatschappelijke groepen zoals etnische minderheden en vrouwen, die traditioneel veel aandacht krijgen, wordt ook de vertegenwoordiging van arbeiders, holebi's, ouderen en taalgroepen onder de loep genomen. De verschillende auteurs behandelen vragen als: Welke rechten en regels zijn er als we over vertegenwoordiging van groepen praten? Wie wordt politiek vertegenwoordigd? En hoe belangrijk is die vertegenwoordiging? Vertegenwoordiging wordt in dit boek ruim opgevat en behelst zowel klassieke besluitvormingsarena's zoals het parlement en de regering, als minder evidente fora voor vertegenwoordiging zoals het middenveld, het internet, de media en de administratie. Het samenbrengen van de vertegenwoordigingsvraagstukken die deze groepen aangaan, leert dat het omgaan met diversiteit het Belgische politieke bestel kenmerkt én er tegelijk een belangrijke uitdaging voor vormt. Voor alle groepen geldt immers dat hun vertegenwoordiging in het parlement en in andere besluitvormingscenakels geen evidentie is en al dan niet met behulp van structurele maatregelen telkens opnieuw moet verworven worden. De bijdragen van de auteurs vormen stuk voor stuk belangwekkende aanvullingen op het bestaande onderzoek in België, en geven op hun beurt nieuwe impulsen aan het maatschappelijk debat en het wetenschappelijk onderzoek.
