>Dear Colleague,
>
>We are writing on behalf of the Organising Committee, to inform you of the 
>call for papers for the:
>
>THE SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DIVERSITY IN ORGANISATIONS, 
>COMMUNITIES AND NATIONS
>Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 3-6 July 2007
>http://www.Diversity-Conference.com
>
>The conference brings together scholarly, government and practice-based 
>participants with an interest in the issues of diversity and community. It 
>examines the concept of diversity as a positive aspect of a global world 
>and globalised society. Diversity is in many ways reflective of our 
>present world order, and there are ways of taking this further without 
>necessary engendering its alternatives: racism, conflict, discrimination 
>and inequity.
>
>The conference will explore the full range of what diversity means and 
>explore modes of diversity in real-life situations of living together in 
>community. It supports a move away from simple affirmations that 
>'diversity is good' to a much more nuanced account of the effects and uses 
>of diversity on differently situated communities in the context of our 
>current epoch of globalisation.
>
>As well as an impressive line up of international main speakers, the 
>conference will also include numerous paper, workshop and colloquium 
>presentations. 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 online version of the journal.
>
>The deadline for the next round in the call for papers (a title and short 
>abstract) is 31 January 2007. Proposals are reviewed within one week of 
>submission.
>
>Full details of the conference, including an online call for papers form, 
>are to be found at the conference website -

>
>We look forward to receiving your proposals and hope you will be able to 
>join us in Amsterdam in July 2007.

>Yours Sincerely,
