On the one hand, Cultural Studies understand culture as a constitutive process, which holds as much weight as as economic or material bases in the shaping of social subjects and historical events. For this reason, they offer a unique approach to reflect on complex topics such diversity related to national identities and shaping of Otherness, or to reflect on topics as racial, functional, age, social class, gender, and sexual diversity.
On the other, Diversity Studies not only enable critical examination of different forms of discrimination, but they also offer creative resources to conceptualize diversity as a cultural asset.
