Notes

1. According to Wheadon and Duval-Couetil (Forthcoming), the term ‘token’ is used in this article to mean more than just minority status or a problem of numbers and momentum that will resolve itself once more members of the missing group are added to the equation (Kanter, 1977). More significantly, the term is used to highlight the inadequacy of scholarship and policies that superficially addresses inequalities by universalizing diverse experiences into a single social group, identity category or context to simplify the search for causal explanations and concrete solutions (Scott 1986).
