The concept of "diversity" as a result of globalized societies has gained momentum in Europe. When analyzing the framework, however, it becomes clear that there is a discrepancy between "good" or legitimized forms of diversity and rather "bad" connoted categories. Against this background the question arises of how rather marginalized categories of diversity such as religious affiliation influence the orientation of concerned subjects inside the society.
Through an interdisciplinary approach this panel reflects on how diversity is constructed and navigated across various domains such as public discourse, spiritual care, education and Islamic theology. These lenses allow us to explore how societal boundaries are drawn, how diversity is both shaped and contested in contemporary societies and how belonging is experienced and negotiated within different spheres of life, the communities, the institutions, and against the background of the current socio-political climate.
