Call for Papers: Symposium on Diversity in Organisations, Communities and Nations

7-8 December 2005, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia

Posted: 4 Jun 2005

The focus of this symposium will be on 'intersectional' issues of gender and culture. Its timing is roughly mid-way between the four day annual Diversity Conferences (the Fifth International Conference on Diversity in Organisations, Communities and Nations in Beijing this June and the Sixth International Conference on Diversity in Organisations, Communities and Nations in New Orleans in 2006). Main speakers will include leading thinkers in the field, and these will be supported by paper, workshop and colloquium presentations by researchers and practitioners.

Papers submitted for the symposium proceedings will be fully peer-refereed and published in print and electronic formats in the International Journal of Diversity in Organisations, Communities and Nations. If you are unable to attend the symposium, virtual registrations are also available which allow you to submit a paper for refereeing and possible publication in this fully refereed academic journal, as well as access to the electronic version of the conference proceedings. The deadline for the next round in the call for papers is 1 July 2005. Proposals are reviewed within four weeks of submission.

Full details of the symposium, including an online call for papers form, are to be found on the diversity conference website.
