Hi everyone,
I would like to invite you to a conference on workplace diversity
teaching (in higher education), diversity training (in organizations),
and research on the preceding. More information is given below. If you
are interested, I urge you to register sooner rather than later for two
reasons. First, space is limited. Second, it will help us with the
planning. Everyone who registers will be asked to complete an interest
survey and much of the conference content (e.g., topics of facilitated
group discussions) will be determined by the interests of the participants.
Best,
David Kravitz
p.s. Apologies for the cross-listing
