  • 1.  Reminder: March 1 deadline - Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Conference (6-8 July 2015): The Impact of Education and Training on Multicultural Identities, Beliefs and Attitudes

    Dear MED colleagues: Just a friendly reminder of the upcoming CfP for the EDI conference and our stream: Making it Work Beyond the Classroom: The Impact of Education and Training on Changes in Multicultural Identities, Diversity Beliefs and Attitudes.

     

    ***Apologies for cross postings***



    CALL FOR PAPERS

    How can educational and learning interventions affect cultural competences?

    Do certain educational approaches (e.g., lecture-based courses vs. study tours abroad) affect cultural competences in different ways?

    Is it possible to shape or modify adults' cultural identity? If so, how can we develop individuals' global or cosmopolitan identity?

    Through which means can we change individuals' diversity beliefs so that they see cultural/ethnic diversity as an advantage at work rather than a hindrance?

    What is the 'half-life' of such educational interventions? How long lasting are their effects?

    Analytical, contemporary and critical methodological approaches to studying the effects of education and training on cultural competences and identities. 


    Warm regards,

     

     

    Jacob
