Call for Stream and Workshop Proposals Theme: Dealing with Diverse Identities Type: 8th Equality, Diversity and Inclusion International Conference Institution: Recanati Business School, Tel Aviv University Location: Tel Aviv (Israel) Date: 6.–8.7.2015 Deadline: 1.11.2014 __________________________________________________ The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Conference welcomes a wide range of streams and workshops about the complex relationship between equality, diversity and inclusion from different theoretical, empirical and methodological angles as well as across various trans/inter/national and disciplinary contexts. In 2015, we wish to draw particular attention to the problem of identity, to the various conceptions and misconceptions, to the enactment of identity by individuals, groups and out-groups; to the modes of construction, the borders, the stability as well as the evolutions, the homogeneity as well as the heterogeneities which are thus attributed to them. Those underlie the relations they maintain: power/privilege/hierarchy/equality; inclusion/ exclusion; solidarity/individualism; competition /cooperation…. And also the way in which the humans: workers, consumers, citizens, migrants… are treated, looked after, managed, controlled, trained. On which conceptions are institutions, laws, norms, standards, methods built? With which effects? What transformations are possible? However, the focus on identity presented here is not intended to pose limits for stream themes and approaches. You are invited to submit stream and workshop proposals under the theme of the conference as well as outside this theme, within the broad remit of the EDI conference. Streams are designed in a traditional academic format, whereas workshops are more open to unconventional and informal procedures. There will be a doctoral colloquium under the supervision of Dr Joana Vassilopoulou and Dr Kate Sang parallel to the conference (contact: [email protected]). Information on deadlines and mode of submission will be available on the EDI website. Stream organizers are also advised that the book series Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at Work (Book series by Emerald) headed by Professor Mustafa Özbilgin is associated to the conference and relevant stream proposals will be eligible for this book series subject to acceptance decision by professor Özbilgin who will attend the conference. Deadlines for stream and workshop proposals Stream and workshop proposals should be sent to Prof Julienne Brabet (contact: [email protected]) no later than November 1, 2014. Decisions regarding streams/workshops and launch of call for papers: November 25, 2014; the call for papers will be circulated thereafter.
