Preferred term

essentializing racial and ethnic identity  

Definition

  • This entry approaches the issue of essentializing racial and ethnic identity through a discussion of diversity, which helps illustrate the ways that reductive notions of racial and ethnic communities, their practices, and peoples are indexed in the public sphere. This entry locates the notion of diversity as central to a democratic education and examines the prevailing discursive frameworks that have given meaning to how diversity has been understood across disciplinary domains.
