Tracing the Logic of Diversity in the Canadian Journal of Higher Education  \nAbstract  \nDiversity and equity have become central themes of institutional planning in Canadian post-secondary institutions. The complexity and variance of such activities, and their disconnect from individual experiences, are inherently related to the social norms established by the dominant cultural group. This article argues that published research articles play an important role in reflecting how organizational norms are understood and institutionalized. To trace the normative shifts in how diversity has been addressed in research articles, a systematic analysis of over 186 peer-reviewed articles published in the Canadian Journal of Higher Education between 1971 and 2020 was performed. The findings demonstrate that the concept of diversity has evolved from being examined in narrow binary categories of socio-economic, language, and gender diversity to a more recent focus on intersectionality. The shift from diversity being an issue of individual concern to diversity being a core institutional responsibility closely related to student learning is apparent. The article ends with recommendations for future areas of research with specific calls made to increased uptake of critical approaches to diversity for more nuanced perspectives of our accepted social norms in Canadian higher education.  \nKeywords: diversity, equity, norms, research articles, CJHE  \nRésumé  \nLa diversité et l’équité sont devenues des thèmes centraux de la planification institutionnelle des établissements postsecondaires canadiens. La complexité et la variance de ces activités, ainsi que leur déconnexion des expériences individuelles, sontintrinsèquement liées aux normes sociales établies par le groupe culturel dominant. Cet article soutient que les études publiées jouent un rôle de représentation important, reflétant la manière dont les normes organisationnelles sont comprises et institutionnalisées. Afin de retracer les changements normatifs dans la façon dont la diversité a été abordée dans des travaux de recherche, une analyse systématique de plus de 186 articles publiés dans la Revue canadienne d’enseignement supérieur entre 1971 et 2020 a été réalisée. Les résultats montrent que le concept de diversité a évolué d’un examen des catégories binaires étroites de diversité socio-économique, linguistique et de genre à un accent plus récent sur l’intersectionnalité . Le passage dela diversité comme question d’intérêt individuel à la diversité comme responsabilité institutionnelle fondamentale, étroitement liée à l’apprentissage des étudiants et étudiantes, est évident. Cet article se termine avec des recommandations pour de futurs domaines de recherche, avec des appels particuliers pour une adoption accrue des approches critiques de la diversité afind’avoir des perspectives plus nuancées des normes sociales acceptées dans l’enseignement supérieur canadien.  \nMots-clés : diversité, équité, normes, travaux de recherche, RCES  \nIntroduction  \nDiversity and equity have become central themes of institutional planning in Canadian post-secondary insti-  \ntutions. The need to adapt to changing demographics, immigration trends, internationalization, and the training of skilled labour has forced universities to actively respond and engage with issues around diversity (Smith,  \nCanadian Journal of Higher Education | Revue canadienne d’enseignement supérieur 51:3 (2022)   \n2020; Vos et al. , 2016) . Furthermore, continuous calls to address systemic inequities and historical injustices that prevail in higher education institutions in Canada have added additional pressure for universities to change (Henry et al. , 2016; Hoffman & Mitchell, 2016) . As a response, universities are increasingly prioritizing diversity initiatives to the point where practices of “diversity management”(Klein, 2016, p. 147) and “performativity, based on indicators”(Bhopal & Pitkin, 2020, p. 532) have","cbCaibantGoaoLlb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibantGoaoLlb","pdf",211791,18,"English","# Introduction\n## Diversity and equity as institutional planning themes\n## Research use as a mechanism for normative shifts\n## Study focus and conceptual framing","[{\"question\":\"What is the central argument about research articles and diversity?\",\"answer\":\"The article argues that published research articles play an important role in reflecting how organizational norms are understood and institutionalized.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the study conducted?\",\"answer\":\"It used a systematic analysis of more than 186 peer-reviewed articles published in the Canadian Journal of Higher Education from 1971 to 2020.\"},{\"question\":\"How has the concept of diversity evolved over time in the findings?\",\"answer\":\"The findings show diversity shifting from narrow binary categories (socio-economic, language, and gender) toward a more recent focus on intersectionality, and from individual concern to core institutional responsibility linked to student learning.\"}]","Mirroring Society?
