Dr. Rumina Dhalla from the Department of Business spoke at the event about her research on organizational identity. Dhalla encourages others to primarily understand the definition of diversity, which is, wouldn’t you know it, very diverse.
“The panel that we had, we were talking about issues of all kinds of diversity, not just ethnic backgrounds…The way I define diversity in my work is any observed and non-observed differences such as race, gender, culture, sexual orientation, social class, physical ability, family religion, region, professional, political, personal, etc. All of that is diversity.”
Dhalla’s research expands the definition of diversity to apply to the organizational setting.
