Superdiversity, or super-diversity is a social science term and concept often said to have been coined by sociologist Steven Vertovec in a 2007 article in Ethnic and Racial Studies,[1][2] but which he first used in a BBC article in 2005.[3] It is used to refer to some current levels of population diversity that are significantly higher than before.[4] Vertovec argues superdiversity in Britain 'is distinguished by a dynamic interplay of variables among an increased number of new, small and scattered, multiple-origin, transnationally connected, socio-economically differentiated and legally stratified immigrants who have arrived over the last decade.'[5] It denotes increased diversity not only between immigrant and ethnic minority groups, but also within them. It has also been called the 'diversification of diversity.'[6]
Parveen Akhtar, a sociologist at the University of Bradford, argues that the UK is no longer characterized by diversity but by superdiversity: 'Post-1945 you had large waves of immigration from fewer places in the world, largely from the former colonies. Now, since the 1980s, you’ve got smaller waves of immigration from a wider range of places.'[7]
Key researchers working on superdiversity include Vertovec, Jan Blommaert and Jenny Phillimore. The University of Birmingham established the Institute for Research into Superdiversity in 2013.[8] The Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity in Gottingen is also an important centre for superdiversity research.[9]
The concept has started to have an impact on the fields of sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology.[10]
