Whose "I/Eye" Counts?: The Reproduction of Mythical Master Narratives

The literature on diversity in higher education spans a broad range of issues.

Through a critique of a study by Wolf-Wendel, Toma and Morphew (2001), this article aims to demonstrate how ahistorical and acontexual approaches to diversity perpetuate powerful mythical master narratives that uphold the status quo.
