Prof. Mary B. Setrana Features on Podcast on Rethinking Diversity Scholarship Beyond the West
Prof. Mary Boatemaa Setrana, Professor of Migration and Social Change and IDRC Research Chair on Forced Displacement in Anglophone West Africa, has featured in a podcast exploring the need to rethink how diversity and social difference are understood in global scholarship.
In the short podcast, “Diversity Representation Beyond the West”, Prof. Setrana reflects on the marginalisation of perspectives from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean in diversity discourse and calls for greater recognition of knowledge and experiences from the non-Western world.
She argues for approaches that move beyond treating Western policies and practices as the universal reference point, highlighting the importance of imagining futures of social difference through multiple perspectives and experiences.
The conversation forms part of the Futures of Difference platform, which brings together perspectives on how societies understand and engage with diversity, difference and social change.
