Abstract

This article introduces the topic of diversity in this minisymposium by defining the terminology as well as providing descriptions of the positive impact of diversity. We aimed not only to examine the proven effects of diversity, but also to understand the barriers present so we can effectively mitigate these at the individual, institutional and systemic levels.
