Dear IMD colleague,
I invite you to propose a stream for the 5th EDI (Equality Diversity Inclusion) conference to be held July 23-25 2012 in July in historic Toulouse, Southwest France, organized with the support of Toulouse Business School and in association with publication partner projects (see below). We trust this conference will provide an exciting forum for encounters and publication projects in a stimulating intellectual, cultural and historic environment.
A stream is similar to a track in other conferences' wordings : it implies calling for papers on a specific topic within the EDI field. Stream examples of past conferences can be found on 'past conferences' link on www.edi-conference.org .
Deadline for stream proposals is September 15, 2011. Stream proposals are to be sent to a.klarsfeld@esc-toulouse.fr, copy to c.richard@esc-toulouse.fr. Decisions regarding stream proposals will be made by September 25. Call for papers will follow suit. I look forward to receiving a stream proposal from you !
For more details see full call for stream proposals below.
Best regards,
Alain Klarsfeld

Call for stream proposals – deadline September 15, 2011
5th Equality, Diversity and Inclusion International Conference, 2012, Toulouse, France
23-25 July, 2012, Toulouse Business School
Conference theme: country and comparative perspectives on equality, diversity and inclusion
A wide range of streams is being welcome about all types of research questions and strands of diversity. However, regardless the area and research question of the stream, at paper submission stages, authors of empirical papers will be invited to provide a section albeit brief, about the country or countries of data collection. Transnational streams and papers involving multiple countries will be welcome to this conference. However the indications above should not be seen as limitative in terms of stream themes and approaches.
There will be a doctoral workshop under the supervision of Professor Judith Pringle.
The 2012 edition also welcomes pre-conference workshops to be held July 23.
Publication partnerships of EDI 2012 Toulouse conference
Associated to this conference are British Journal of Management, Cross-Cultural Management : an International Journal ; Equality, Diversity, Inclusion: an International Journal, and the European Journal of Industrial Relations. Pre selected best papers of the conference will be submitted to these journals who will process them according to their usual standards.
Relevant papers will be eligible to be included in the second edition of the International Handbook on Diversity Management at Work (to be published in 2013 with Edward Elgar), under the chief-editorship of Alain Klarsfeld. Stream organizers alongside participants to their stream may also want to write a summary comparative paper which might then qualify for this book project. See call http://www.viadeo.com/fr/event/006gnzvl84zvhv0/diversity-and-equality-international-research-project
