Abstract
This paper reports on a systematic review into inclusivity and diversity in the higher education marketing discipline. Thirty-one studies met the inclusion criteria and are analyzed to identify the inclusion and diversity identities that have been studied, synthesize strategies that have been identified as successful in supporting inclusion and diversity in the classroom and propose a future research agenda to further scholarly understanding within the marketing discipline. The findings suggest that most prior studies have focused on cultural diversity or diversity in general, and the strategies identified as effective were (a) utilizing technology to support inclusion and diversity, (b) developing curriculum that takes into consideration the diverse society we live in, (c) integrating projects into curriculum that are focused on diversity and inclusion, and (d) considering extra-curricular activities to deepen students’ inclusivity and diversity skills.
