Diversity in Teams and Approaches for Studying Teams

Teams are increasingly the locus of our work and leisure, with the study of such groups still important for human flourishing. This essay focuses on four aspects of studying team diversity: topics (e.g., language, human-AI teams), theory, multidisciplinary approaches, and funding/conducting such research. Not only are different types of heterogeneity fruitful to study, but the next decade could see a diversity of theories, approaches, and ways to support such research.
