Introduction
Diversity, a concept widely employed in conversations addressing education, is often not examined within contexts of economics, power, history, and culture. This annual conference provides a forum for scholarly discussion of diversity grounded in relationships between peoples, and the economic and cultural landscapes in which they interact. We welcome and encourage the participation of students, faculty, educators, and community members in these important conversations.
We invite proposals for presentations that engage the themes of diversity and education within the contexts of globalization and diasporic movements of peoples, economies, cultures, and ideologies. We are especially interested in work that engages the topic of diversity while connecting the local with the global.
Proposals should address the theme of the conference from any disciplinary, cross-disciplinary, or trans-disciplinary perspective. Diversity is conceptualized broadly and includes languages, people, ideas, theoretical frameworks, ideologies,etc.
Papers and projects that address unique and promising ways of imagining diversity both in society and in education will be especially welcomed. We invite scholarly work from a variety of traditional academic disciplines and approaches. Proposals from graduate students and professionals/practitioners are encouraged. Proposals for individual papers, panels, symposiums, film/documentary screenings, and other creative endeavors that address the conference theme are solicited.
