International conference organized jointly by the Quebec  
Inter-University Centre for Social Statistics (QICSS, Montréal) and the  
Institut national d'études démographiques (INED, Paris).  The main  
objective of the International conference on Social Statistics and  
Ethnic Diversity: Should we count, how should we count and why? is to  
establish links between the production, analysis, uses and  
interpretation of social statistics related to ethnic diversity.  The  
Conference aims to encourage international exchanges in order to  
document the diversity of situations, namely: the experience of  
countries of immigration (Canada, the United States, Australia, etc.);  
the European experience; the experience of countries of the South  
(Africa, Latin America, Asia, etc.).
This conference aspires to bring  together decision makers, policy 
analysts, community workers, and scholars  (including students). Persons 
interested in submitting a paper proposal  should send a one-page 
abstract (around 500 words) to the contacts listed  above.  Presentations 
can be made in French or English. Authors will be  notified of acceptance 
by June 1st, 2007.
