    Hello, all.  Here is a summary of what I received in answer to my request about a recent review of diversity research.  Also, many apologies for subjecting the list to my personal email -- not my intention!

    If you're pursuing diversity research, the following levels of analysis oriented review of the diversity literature also might be helpful (to avoid some of the levels of analysis errors that have been present in previous research):
