“…Thus, a “multiple forms” approach to interculturalism could prioritize dialogue between groups that cross social identity dimensions, and perhaps emphasize that definitions of “dominant” and “non‐dominant” groups are flexible (e.g., Asian Americans may be considered underrepresented in the humanities and in leadership positions but not in the sciences). Because emerging work suggests that polyculturalism (Rosenthal & Levy, 2012; Virgona & Kashima, 2021) and interculturalism (Gale et al., 2021; Yogeeswaran et al., 2021) are associated with many of the benefits of multiculturalism but are less likely to trigger feelings of threat among dominant group members (Osborn et al., 2020), it may be useful to consider “multiple forms” approaches to these ideologies.…”

In both academic and policy contexts, two of the most widely researched and discussed diversity ideologies are multiculturalism (i.e., acknowledgment and celebration of group differences) and colorblindness (which can involve focusing on group similarities and characteristics of individuals instead of differences). However, both diversity ideologies have potential drawbacks, and their implications for intergroup contexts beyond race and ethnicity are not well understood. Given that the United States is becoming increasingly diverse in terms of religion, gender identity, and sexual orientation as well as race and ethnicity, we propose a “multiple forms” approach to diversity ideologies, particularly multiculturalism. We suggest that explicitly emphasizing the importance of many types of diversity may be beneficial for dominant and non‐dominant group members and for institutions and organizations more broadly. In this article, we present an overview of the “multiple forms” approach and what it would entail, review empirical evidence supporting its potential effectiveness, discuss the psychological and legal advantages and challenges involved in implementing such an approach, and offer concrete policy recommendations for doing so.

“…Multiculturalism brings new ideas and ideas to piano teaching. Based on the perspective of piano teaching and in a multicultural environment, relevant teachers should also establish the awareness of multiculturalism and strive to innovate piano teaching methods [ 5 ]. Olutoyin et al and others believe that, under the multicultural background, certain changes have taken place in piano teaching in music and dance education, and their piano teaching pays more attention to the integration with culture.…”

Primarily based on theoretical studies of multicultural pedagogy, anthropology of music, and postmodern music education concepts, techniques combining qualitative and quantitative research are used. Eight types of design guidelines are then proposed according to different intelligence characteristics, according to intelligence characteristics and context of conversational design. Finally, based on the perspective of multicultural learning environments, this work will explore and provide insights into new concepts of piano teaching in multicultural learning environments in three areas: new piano teaching, new instruction, and new piano learning materials. The experimental results show that piano teaching activities based on multiple intelligences theory can stimulate students’ interest in learning music, fully mobilize students’ initiative in learning music, and improve the quality of music teaching.

“…Conductively, a polycultural organization may then lead to the highest levels of intercultural relations and lowest levels of intercultural conflict. Indeed, the polycultural ideology behind this type of organization has been associated with positive attitudes toward people from other cultures (Bernardo et al, 2013; Rosenthal et al, 2015) and more interest, comfort, ethnic empathy, and appreciation of intergroup cultural differences than other diversity ideologies (Rosenthal & Levy, 2012; Virgona & Kashima, 2021). Consequently, polyculturalism has been shown to increase the willingness to interact with other cultural groups (e.g., Bernardo et al, 2013; Rosenthal & Levy, 2012, 2016; Rosenthal et al, 2015), whereas multiculturalism may sometimes decrease it (Rosenthal & Levy, 2012).…”

Diversity in organizations is a recurring and increasing reality of vast importance. The diversity management literature describes different types of organizations based on their treatment and management of diversity, including plural and multicultural organizations. However, recent research suggests the added value of considering polycultural organizations in diversity management. Based on a polycultural ideology that sees values, traditions, and norms inherently and dynamically intertwined and mixed, polycultural organizations emphasize the value for and “connectedness” to diversity among organizational members. Contributing to the diversity management literature, this paper conceptually describes and compares polycultural organizations with other types of organizations in the diversity management literature. It argues the potential benefit of including a polycultural ideology to current perspectives in diversity management to further advance our understanding of how diversity can be effectively managed in organizations. Additionally, practice implications and strategies to foster polycultural organizations are provided.
