@jenstrickland

Description

@jenstrickland

@TzviyaSiegman, @wareid, and I collaborated on a revised definition for diversity in the glossary.

We aimed for a definition and then a separate list of examples.

Current definition

Diversity for the purposes of diversity and inclusion, is any dimension that can be used to differentiate groups and people from one another. Dimensions can include but are not limited to: socio-economic status, sexual orientation, religion, race, racial identity, physical appearance, neurotype, nationality, mental health, language, indigeneity, immigration status, gender, gender identity and gender expression, ethnicity, disability (both visible and invisible), caste, body, or age.

Proposed revision

Diversity is the consideration of a wide range of varying identities, lived experiences, and perspectives.

Separate list of dimensions

This range can include, but is not limited to: socio-economic status, sexual orientation, religion, race, racial identity, physical appearance, neurotype, nationality, mental health, language, indigeneity, immigration status, gender, gender identity and gender expression, ethnicity, disability (both visible and invisible), caste, body, or age.
