****************************************
You are warmly invited to the:
4th Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Conference,
7-8 February, 2011
AUT University, Auckland, New Zealand
Theme: ‘Equality, Diversity and Inclusion: Views from the Edge’.
Equality Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is a priority for people working
together within and without workplaces. This conference is influenced by
the location ‘at the edge of the universe’ where context is very salient.
As organisers, we endorse the notion that knowledge is always ‘partial
sight and limited vision ... the only way to find a larger vision is to be
somewhere in particular’ (Haraway, 1988, p.93). We encourage diverse
views and challenging conversations; submissions that may bring the
margins to the centre. The views may be from the edges of our knowledge
and understanding of EDI.
We invite experienced, emerging researchers and practitioners and
especially encourage doctoral students to present their work. There will
be academic and doctoral sessions as well as presentations relevant to
practitioners and policy makers.
A variety of key note speakers will add to the flavour of the conference.
We have early confirmation from: Professor Mustafa Ozbilgin (University of
East Anglia), Dr. Carla Houkamau (University of Auckland) and Lynette Reid
(AUT University).
