> (7 votes) The Color of Fear from StirFry Seminars, available at
> http://www.stirfryseminars.com
>
>> From the StirFry Seminars Web site: The Color of Fear is an insightful,
> groundbreaking film about the state of race relations in America as seen
> through the eyes of eight North American men of Asian, European, Latino and
> African descent. In a series of intelligent, emotional and dramatic
> confrontations the men reveal the pain and scars that racism has caused
> them. What emerges is a deeper sense of understanding and trust. This is the
> dialogue most of us fear, but hope will happen sometime in our lifetime.

> (5 votes) It's Elementary: Talking About Gay Issues in School from Women's
> Educational Media, available at http://www.teachingforchange.org
>
>> From the Women's Educational Media Web site: It's Elementary is the first
> film of its kind to address anti-gay prejudice by providing adults with
> practical lessons on how to talk with kids about gay people. Hailed as "a
> model of intelligent directing," It's Elementary shows that children are
> eager and able to wrestle with stereotypes and absorb new facts about what
> it means to be gay or lesbian.
>
>
>
> (4 votes) Eye of the Storm/A Class Divided/Blue Eyed/The Angry Eye featuring
> Jane Elliot, available at http://www.janeelliott.com/videos.htm
>
>> From Jane Elliot's Web site, referring to The Angry Eye: Hailed as "a
> fascinating revisit" to the famous 1968 Blue-Eyes/Brown-Eyes Exercise in
> discrimination by Jane Elliott, this film documents the effects of racial
> prejudice with startling force and emotional intensity. Taking pigmentation
> - in this case, eye color - as an arbitrary dividing line, Jane Elliott
> builds a microcosm of contemporary American society, compelling her more
> privileged blue-eyed participants to live in another world for the longest
> two and a half hours of their lives.
>
>
>
> (4 votes) Race: The Power of an Illusion from California Newsreel, available
> at http://www.newsreel.org
>> From the California Newsreel Web site: What is this thing we call 'race'?
> Where'd the idea come from? What are the patterns of human variation? And if
> race isn't biological, what is it? How do our social institutions 'make'
> race? RACE - The Power of an Illusion is the series so many are talking
> about that compels viewers to scrutinize some of their most fundamental
> beliefs.
>
>
>
> (3 votes) A Place at the Table from Teaching Tolerance, available at
> http://www.tolerance.org/teach/resources/index.jsp
>> From the Teaching Tolerance Web site: Throughout our nation's history,
> individuals and groups - from Baptists fighting for religious freedom to
> families seeking gender equity in sports - have toppled barriers to become
> full participants in our democracy. These stories of everyday bravery are
> highlighted in the film. To help students identify with ongoing efforts to
> achieve equality, the film is narrated by teenagers who explain how their
> families struggled for and found "a place at the table."
>
>
>
> (3 votes) Skin Deep by Iris Films, available at
> http://www.irisfilms.org/SD/con1.html
>
>> From the Iris Films Web site: Skin Deep is a 53 minute film that was
> produced in response to the growing wave of racial hatred and violence in
> this country. It was made out of the belief that talking about racial
> issues, both in interracial dialogue and in homogeneous groups, is a
> necessary first step towards taking action to undo the racial inequalities
> that permeate our institutions and communities and affect us all deeply as
> individuals. SKIN DEEP takes the viewer on a journey of dialogue with a
> group of contemporary college students.

> (3 votes) The Way Home from New Day Films, available at
> http://www.newday.com
>
>> From the New Day Films Web site: Over the course of eight months, sixty-four
> women, representing a cross-section of cultures in the US, met in councils
> separated by ethnicity-Indigenous, Asian, European, African, Arab, Jewish,
> Latina and Multiracial. Their candid conversations offer rare access into
> multidimensional cultural worlds mostly invisible to outsiders. With
> uncommon courage, the women speak their hearts and minds about resistance,
> love, assimilation, beauty standards, power, school experiences, and more.
> Woven throughout are collages of historical and family photos, dance
> sequences, visual images, and music from over twenty cultures all of which
> expand the impact of the women's words.

> (2 votes) Fear and Learning at Hoover Elementary from Josepha Producciones,
> available at http://www.teachingforchange.org
>
>> From the Multicultural Pavilion: "When I grow up I'm going to be a person
> who fights for this country. I'm going to be an important person. I'm going
> to a good college.." Mayra, a fifth-grade student from a high-poverty school
> in Los Angeles, is one of the central figures in Fear and Learning. The film
> effectively weaves together the stories of students and colleagues into a
> collage that powerfully illustrates the awareness and lack of awareness,
> compassion and lack of compassion, and anti-racism and racism that exist at
> Hoover (and at every school in the United States). Fear and Learning is one
> of the most important, engaging, and powerful films ever made about
> education, equity, and social justice in the United States. The film raises
> questions about race, ethnicity, language, socioeconomic class, and the
> intersections of these identities.
>
>
>
> (2 votes) In Whose Honor? from New Day Films, available at
> http://www.newday.com
>
>> From the New Day Films Web site: In Whose Honor? takes a critical look at
> the long-running practice of "honoring" American Indians as mascots and
> nicknames in sports. It follows the story of Native American mother Charlene
> Teters, and her transformation into the leader some are calling the "Rosa
> Parks of American Indians" as she struggles to protect her cultural symbols
> and identity. In Whose Honor? looks at the issues of racism, stereotypes,
> minority representation and the powerful effects of mass-media imagery, and
> the extent to which one university will go to defend and justify its mascot.

> (2 votes) Mad Hot Ballroom from ParamountVantage, available at
> http://www.paramountvantage.com/madhot/
>
>> From the ParamountVantage Web site: Eleven-year-old New York City public
> school kids journey into the world of ballroom dancing and reveal pieces of
> themselves and their world along the way. Told from their candid, sometimes
> hilarious perspectives, these kids are transformed, from reluctant
> participants to determined competitors, from typical urban kids to "ladies
> and gentlemen," on their way to try to compete in the final citywide
> competition. Providing unique insight into the incredible cultural diversity
> that is New York City, this film profiles several kids from three schools
> (out of 60) at this dynamic age, when becoming that "cool" teenager vies for
> position with familiar innocence, while they learn the merengue, rumba,
> tango, the foxtrot and swing.

> Background
>
> The International Conference on Diversity in Organisations,
> Communities and Nations
>
> Now a major international conference, the Diversity Conference was
> first held in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia in 2000, then at the
> University of Hawai'i in 2003, the University of California, Los
> Angeles in 2004, the Institute of Ethnic Administrators in Beijing in
> 2005 and with Xavier University of New Orleans and Louisiana State
> University in 2006.
>
> The conference has a history of bringing together scholarly,
> government and practice-based participants with an interest in the
> issues of diversity and community. The conference examines the concept
> of diversity as a positive aspect of a global world and globalised
> society. Diversity is in many ways reflective of our present world
> order, but there are ways of taking this further without necessary
> engendering its alternatives: racism, conflict, discrimination and
> inequity. Diversity as a mode of social existence can be projected in
> ways that deepen the range of human experience. The conference will
> seek to explore the full range of what diversity means and explore
> modes of diversity in real-life situations of living together in
> community. The conference supports a move away from simple
> affirmations that 'diversity is good' to a much more nuanced account
> of the effects and uses of diversity on differently situated
> communities in the context of our current epoch of globalisation.
>
> In addition to linguistic, cultural, ethnic and 'racial' diversity,
> the conference will also pursue its well established interest in other
> aspects of diversity, including the intersecting dynamics of gender,
> sexual orientation, (dis)ability, locale and socio-economic
> background.
>
> The conference looks at the realities of diversity today, critically
> as well as optimistically and strategically. The conference will be a
> place for speaking about diversity, and in ways that range from the
> 'big picture' and the theoretical, to the very practical and everyday
> realities of diversity in organisations, communities and civic life.
>
> In the realm of civic life, local and national communities daily
> negotiate the diversity resulting from immigration, refugee movement,
> settlement and indigenous claims to prior ownership and sovereignty.
> And at the same time, communities increasingly recognise and negotiate
> a plethora of other intersecting and sometimes contrary diversities.
> At the local level this may create a kind of civic pluralism, a new
> way of living in community. Nationally, governments sit uneasily
> between increasingly demanding local diversities and the cultural and
> political forces of globalisation. And within organisations,
> 'diversity management' has emerged as a field of endeavour to
> negotiate human resource and customer relationship issues arising from
> differences of gender, ethnicity/race, sexual orientation and
> disability (to name a few aspects of diversity). To what extent,
> however, do these remain marginal managerial concerns? Could or should
> diversity become a 'mainstream' issue for the whole organisation?
>
> The Diversity Conference is a participants' conference, including
> numerous parallel sessions. The conference organising committee is
> inviting proposals to present 30 minute papers, or 60 minute workshops
> or 90 minute colloquium sessions. These can be:
>
> Academic or research papers, or
> Presentations describing educational initiatives.
>
> The International Journal of Diversity
>
> Presenters have the option to submit papers to the Diversity Journal,
> before the conference and up until one month after the conference.
> Papers submitted for publication will be fully refereed. The
> publication decision is based on the referees' reports.
>
> For those unable to attend the conference in person, virtual
> registrations are available. This provides participants access to the
> electronic version of the journal, and also the option to submit
> papers to the Diversity Journal.
>
> Who Should Attend
>
> - Academics and educational administrators in the fields of
> globalisation, nationalism, anthropology and cultural studies, tourism
> studies, ethnic studies, indigenous studies, gender studies,
> disability studies, gay and lesbian studies, diversity management.
> - Research students.
> - Public administrators and policy-makers.
> - Private and public sector leaders: diversity management, equal
> employment opportunity, human resource development.
