Abstract

This paper identifies four approaches to cultural diversity that professors at institutions of higher education may take. These are neutrality, similarity, diversity and diversimilarity. The paper identifies the strengths and limitations of each of these approaches, and argues for the diversimilarity approach, using the teaching of the death penalty in the USA to illustrate.
