DESCRIPTION; CHARSET=UTF-8 :This paper proposes the need to move beyond current integration and diversity discourses (and their practices). It argues that whilst purportedly aiming to attack social divisions, on the one hand, these are underpinned by binary and essentialised constructions of these very divisions, on the other. They thereby reinforce notions of ‘us’ and ‘them’. These problems are also embodied in their failures politically which make the importance of rethinking the approaches to the incorporation of minorities urgent. In order to retain their more progressive concerns with heterogeneity and inclusion, the paper brings into focus an intersectional approach that considers the complex and irreducible nature of belonging and social hierarchy. The paper explores alternative ways of approaching the social issues involved.
