CHAPTER 5 AGAINST WORKFORCE DIVERSITY
Diversity is not always framed as a positive construct. There is an ideological divide in treating diversity as a positive or a negative construct. There are also marked differences in how different categories of diversity are received in different contexts and over time. For example, gender equality may be supported but not class equality in one context. Sexual orientation diversity may be legitimated over time in one context but remain a criminalised taboo in another. Much of the negative framing of diversity comes from historically anchored forms of populism which tend to polarise diversity and differences, pitting social groups against one another.
