Diversity Issues in the USATransnational Perspectives on the 2024 Presidential Elections
With bans on reproductive rights and access to healthcare, with censorship in schools and universities, and the instrumentalization of rights rhetoric itself, diversity issues stand at the heart of the primary and general elections in the United States. The contributors examine how the American elections will influence diversity issues in the United States and elsewhere, considering reproductive and immigration rights, planetary justice, epistemic and physical violence against LGBTQIA+ people as well as efforts to abet this violence. In this way they highlight the symbolic and political weight of the 2024 U.S. elections as a watershed moment for citizens of the world. The Center is pleased to present its three-volume series with transcript, titled [diversity, media, and law]. Diversity forms the starting point for criticism of intersectional discrimination and measures to overcome it. It addresses social inequality that has emerged from historical processes and discursive constructions. At the same time, diversity stands for demands for a pluralistic and egalitarian conception of society in the context of increasing attacks on its democratic and human rights foundations. Furthermore, the media and the law are central arenas of discursive processes in which lived social diversity can be (re)integrated, transformed, but also endangered. This series brings together critical contributions at the intersections of diversity, media, and law and is edited by DiML members Julian Ernst, Jutta Hergenhan, Malte-C. Gruber, and Greta Olson. |
