Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This chapter begins with the view that multicultural policies, in Europe at least, are not fit for purpose and have slowed, if not inhibited, both integration and the acceptance of difference. This kind of interculturalism is based upon an entirely different conceptual and policy framework and offers a new and progressive approach to how we learn to live with diversity. The chapter sees the Canadian government form of multiculturalism as being closer to the European idea of interculturalism. In this regard, while multiculturalism's focus on inequalities was justified, the chapter argues that it has failed to adapt to ‘super diversity’ and the multifaceted aspects of difference and ‘otherness,’ including those based on disability, age, sexual orientation, and gender — what is otherwise called intersectionality.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
