Has the December 15, 2005 deadline been extended? I just viewed the email and would be interested in sending a paper in after the first of the year.

> The concerns of this conference - Human Rights, Diversity and
> Social
> Justice - loom larger than ever in the light of the terrible
> events
> surrounding Hurricane Katrina. In addition to its usual global
> concern for
> the dynamics of diversity, the conference will include a specific
> focus on
> New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. Main speakers
> will
> include leading thinkers in the field, and these will be supported
> by
> paper, workshop and colloquium presentations by researchers and
> practitioners.
>
> We would particularly like to invite you to respond to the
> conference call
> for papers. Presenters may choose to submit written papers for
> consideration before or after the conference in the fully refereed
> International Journal of Diversity in Organisations, Communities
> and
> Nations. If you are unable to attend the conference in person,
> virtual
> registrations are also available which allow you to submit a paper
> for
> refereeing and possible publication in the journal, and give you
> access to
> the electronic version of the journal.
>
> The deadline for the next round in the call for papers (a title
> and short
> abstract) is 15 December 2005. Proposals are reviewed within four
> weeks of
> submission.
>
> Following the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina on the city
> of New
> Orleans, we have had to change the venue of the conference to the
> Sheraton
> Hotel, the first hotel to become fully operational in New Orleans
> after
> the hurricane. The conference was originally going to be held at
> Xavier
> University, an historically black institution and seriously
> damaged by the
> hurricane. Although the university plans to reopen in January
> 2006, we
> could not be certain that it would be available for the conference
> by
> June.
>
> We would also like to remind you of the Diversity Symposium to be
> held in
> Melbourne this coming 7-8 December 2005 which will focus on
> 'intersectional' issues of gender and culture. A limited number of
> presentation and registration opportunities are still available at
> this
> symposium.
>
> Details of both the New Orleans conference and the Melbourne
> Symposium,
> including an online call for papers form, are to be found at the
> above
