In October 2018, Canadian retailer Mountain Equipment Co-op publicly asked, “Do white people dominate the outdoors?” and acknowledged that their representations were “part of [a] problem.” Relying on Ahmed’s theorizations of diversity work, this paper offers an intersectional interrogation of Mountain Equipment Co-op’s (MEC’s) commitment to including more “diversity” in their representations and considers how both MEC’s statement and their early efforts to diversify simultaneously efface the gendered, ableist, fatphobic, settler colonial and racist structuring of “the outdoors” both in MEC’s practices and in “Canada” more broadly. Our analysis highlights how MEC’s practices continue to reflect and reproduce the appropriation of wilderness for a narrow range of bodies.

2018年10月，加拿大零售商Mountain Equipment Co-op公开询问：“白人在户外占主导地位吗？” 并承认他们的陈述是“ [a]问题的一部分”。依靠艾哈迈德（Ahmed）对多样性工作的理论，本文对山地装备合作社（MEC）承诺在其代表中包含更多“多样性”的承诺进行了交叉质询，并考虑了MEC的声明和他们早期致力于多元化的努力如何同时抹杀了性别，在MEC的实践中以及在更广泛的“加拿大”中，“户外”的能力强，憎恶憎恶，定居者的殖民地和种族主义结构。我们的分析强调了MEC的做法如何继续反映和再现对狭窄尸体的野外占有。
