What can philosophy contribute to multiculturalism and the study of diversity?

The contemporary university has seen an emergence in programs dedicated to the studies of other cultures and groups as a significant intellectual enterprise. These studies have attempted to raise awareness about power, identity, alienation, gender, and so on. This talk will offer some thoughts on how a philosopher might approach such studies.
