"Embrace diversity"

Ozan Ozavci is Assistant Professor of History at the faculty of Humanities. 

鈥淒iversity is a quality. It鈥檚 an advantage to make use of; to learn from each other and to see the world through each others eyes as much as possible.鈥

鈥淚nclusion is the process leading towards diversity. It is creating an environment where everyone feel at home, regardless of their gender, origins or disabilities.鈥

鈥淭here鈥檚 a lively debate about diversity at the moment and I truly appreciate that. But there is one thing I don鈥檛 feel comfortable with: the nature of the dialogue. There is so much negativity when we talk about diversity. That is counterproductive, because diversity should not be a war to be fought, but a unity to be embraced and celebrated.鈥
