The Ninth International Conference on Diversity in Organisations, Communities and Nations is an interdisciplinary conference examining key diversity issues. It provides a forum for discussion from which a body of knowledge on the forms and futures of difference and diversity emerged.

This Conference examines the realities of difference and diversity today, empirically and critically as well as optimistically and strategically. At a time of virulent reactions to difference and globalisation (ethno nationalism, racist backlash, parochialism and protectionism), there is a pressing need to reflect critically on the shape and the possibilities of the normative agendas of diversity and globalism. The perspectives presented range from global, universal and theoretical concerns to detailed case studies.

The Diversity Conference brings together researchers, professors, students, policy makers, local and state admistrators, and NGO other private sector representatives in order to create a dynamic knowledge community.

The Conference includes plenary presentations by accomplished researchers, scholars and practitioners, as well as numerous papers, workshop and colloquium presentations. Presenters may choose to submit written papers for publication in the fully refereed International Journal of Diversity in Organisations, Communities and Nations. Virtual registrations are available for those who are unable to attend the Conference in person.
