Abstract:
Based on a keynote lecture1, this paper places the superdiversity concept in relation to
certain ideas surrounding complexity theory. Further, the implications of superdiversity
for social stratification processes are stressed. Finally, with a view towards superdiversity
and university environments, key features of social identity complexity theory are also
related to both superdiversity and complexity theory, pointing to ways that promoting the
recognition of individuals’ multiple characteristics can bring about a number of positive
outcomes.
