Dear Colleague,

We are writing on behalf of the Organising Committee, to inform you of 
the call for papers for the:

6th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DIVERSITY IN ORGANISATIONS, COMMUNITIES 
AND NATIONS
New Orleans, USA, 12-15 June 2006
http://www.Diversity-Conference.com

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 
website.

Yours Sincerely,

Dr. Joe Melcher
Xavier University of New Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

Dr Denise Egea-Kuehne
Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA

Prof. Paul James
Director, Globalism Institute
RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia
