Respect for Diversity

Introduction

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to:

Understand cultural humility as an approach to diversity
Identify and define dimensions of diversity
Appreciate the complexity of identity
Identify important cultural considerations for working within diverse communities

Respect for diversity has been established as a core value for Community Psychology. Appreciating diversity in communities includes understanding dimensions of diversity and how to work within diverse community contexts, but also includes a consideration of how to work within systems of inequality. Community psychologists must be mindful of diverse perspectives and experiences when conducting research and designing interventions, as well as working to combat oppression and promote justice and equality. By working within a framework of cultural humility, this chapter attempts to provide a basic understanding of the dimensions of diversity that are most common in Community Psychology research and practice. Further, we explore how these dimensions contribute to complex identities and considerations for community practice.
