ABSTRACT
Diversity manifests in multiple forms. There are etic and emic forms of diversity. Etic categories of diversity are generic, and they are universally recognised. Gender, ethnicity, class and sexual orientation are some examples of etic diversity categories. Although they can be interpreted differently across national borders, these categories now have wide international recognition. Emic categories of diversity exist as local forms of diversity. The caste system in India, the tribal structures in some African countries and indigeneity in countries like Australia, New Zealand and Canada present unique and emic categories of diversity. In this chapter, we also reviewed multiple forms of diversity across etic and emic categories. We explored intersections between these multiple categories. The chapter concludes with an illustrative case that examines the travel of diversity and its manifestations across different countries in Europe and wider.
