ABSTRACT
This chapter focused on different science disciplines and how they contributed to diversity science in the social science field. From formal sciences to pure sciences and social sciences, diversity science has borrowed elements of methods and analysis techniques to study the multifaceted nature of human diversity across different settings and levels of study. What appears interesting, though, is that not one single method or approach can reveal the complex nature of human diversity. Interdisciplinarity and cross-national knowledge exchange provide rich insights for developing our understanding of human diversity. Therefore, diversity science today adopts plural approaches to address its complex challenges. An illustrative case shows how the Covid19 pandemic had an uneven impact on diverse groups. The case also illustrates the significance of interdisciplinary and transnational diversity research and collaboration in diversity-led responses to global crises.
