Conference Announcement "Globalization, Diversity and Education" International Conference College of Education, Washington State University Spokane, WA (USA) 1-3 March 2007 __________________________________________________ Diversity, a concept widely employed in conversations addressing education, is often not examined within contexts of economics, power, history, and culture. This conference will provide 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 hope to stimulate a discussion 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 and addresses 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. Featured Speakers: Michael W.
