* Diversity, a concept widely employed in conversations addressing 
education, is seldom examined within context sof economics, power, culture, 
and environment.  This conference will provide a forum for scholarly 
discussion of diversity grounded in relationships between peoples and their 
economic, political, cultural, and geographical contexts. We welcome and 
encourage the participation of students, faculty, educators, and community 
members. Proposals for presentations that engage the themes of diversity, 
education, globalization, and related issues are invited.  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 in society and education are especially welcome.  Proposals from 
graduate students and professionals/practitioners are encouraged. 
Individual papers, panels, symposiums, film/documentary screenings, poster 
sessions, and other creative endeavors that address the conference theme 
are invited.
