Abstract
This chapter focuses on social justice relating to undergraduate education for diverse and underrepresented students. Within mass higher education, participation and equity are increasingly critical; including the experience students have while at university. We argue that the pervasiveness of digital media offers potential for supporting diversity and belonging through informal networks and peer support. The emerging concept of digital diversity is explored before conceptualizing this as both the proliferation of digitally-mediated opportunities and the possibilities for more diverse communities to engage in digital practices that might be distinct or for different purposes. Drawing on a recent study, this chapter argues that digital technologies have a role in sustaining social networks and developing identities within academic spaces as well as affording alternative spaces and discourses. Yet such networks can also be exclusive or excluding for students whose identities may be more firmly established elsewhere. We conclude that digital diversity can help to understand the dynamics of underrepresented student experiences in a digital world. From a social justice perspective, digital diversity suggests the need to expand understandings of 'the digital university' and recognize underrepresented students as collaborators and knowledge producers in order to open up opportunities and mechanisms for participation and success.
