Twenty-third International Conference on Diversity in Organizations, Communities and Nations - A BLENDED CONFERENCE

Twenty-third International Conference on Diversity in Organizations, Communities and Nations - A conference organized by Diversity in Organizations, Communities and Nations Research Network and Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada. Founded in 2000, the Diversity in Organizations, Communities and Nations Research Network is brought together by a shared interest in human differences and diversity, and their varied manifestations in organizations, communities, and nations. We aim to traverse a broad terrain, sometimes technically and other times socially oriented, sometimes theoretical and other times practical in their perspective, and sometimes reflecting dispassionate analysis while at other times suggesting interested strategies for action. Our aim is to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. https://ondiversity.com/about CALL FOR PAPERS https://ondiversity.com/2023-conference/call-for-papers Place: Online + Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada Format: A mix of live, pre-recorded, and in person (at scale that's allowed) presentations and social interaction spaces.

In each phase, we've built media platforms to support spaces for interdisciplinary dialogue, before such approaches were in vogue; connected international voices, when disciplines were too often isolated in national silos; and supported an agenda of access and equality, by offering pathways and opportunities for diverse voices. We now propose another kind of intervention - to build a scholarly communication infrastructure for a blended future. Our blended model seeks to transcend physical boundaries by offering a platform to extend in-person conference content online, while ensuring online-only delegates are afforded equal participatory and experiential spaces within the platform. At the same time, the model offers participants a legacy resource to which they can return in the Event application, with access to a social space in our Community application where fellow participants can keep connected long after the conference ends. Our blended conference experience is delivered on the CGScholar platform – developed by the Common Ground Media Lab, the research and technology arm of Common Ground Research Networks. https://ondiversity.com/2023-conference -------- RELATED CONFERENCES We understand travel is difficult in the current climate. For this reason, we also offer related thematic events in our sister Research Networks that you might be able to attend in-person. This way we build for our Research Network Members flexible, and at the same time resilient, spaces for communication, engagement, and participation.
