Heralding Plurality and Celebrating Diversity in Research on Minorities

An Imperative!

Abstract

The importance of historically underrepresented populations in transforming societies and economies cannot be understated. The variety, diversity, and idiosyncrasies that they present, when unveiled through research, cools the cauldron of societal ignorance and bias, and actually challenges us to tackle issues about serious and continuous disparities, discrimination, marginalization, and oppression.
