Inclusion
- Inclusion, although used to denote multiple meanings in varied domains, in the model that we propose, means the relocation of diversity beyond category membership to the larger domain of diversity depth, or that of varied beliefs, ideas, and experiences that are part of human existence, thereby repositioning diversity as the foundation for tolerance, transformation, and incorporation.
