本文研究了在多样性政策中流传的话语如何反映和产生对高等教育多样性的看法。本研究采用政策话语分析的方法，考察了美国20所赠地大学发布的21项多样性行动计划，以了解这些政策文件如何构建多样性。分析揭示了主要的访问话语，这些话语将不同的人塑造成一个局外人的形象。研究结果表明，创造更具包容性的校园氛围的善意尝试可能会无意中加强支持排斥和不平等的做法。
This article investigates how discourses circulating in diversity policies reflect and produce perceptions about diversity in higher education. This study, utilizing the method of policy discourse analysis, examines 21 diversity action plans issued at 20 U.S. land-grant universities to understand how these policy documents frame diversity. Analysis revealed dominant discourses of access that construct images of the diverse person as an outsider. Findings suggest that well-intentioned attempts to create a more inclusive campus climate may unwittingly reinforce practices that support exclusion and inequality.
