"This article asks the question, 'what does diversity do?' by drawing on interviews with diversity practitioners based in higher education in Australia. It shows that diversity as a term is used strategically by practitioners as a solution to what has been called 'equity fatigue'; it is a term that more easily supports existing organisational ideals or even organisational pride. What makes diversity useful also makes it limited: it can become detached from histories of struggle for equality."
