The Management Education and Development Division of the Academy of Management would like to invite YOU to play an active role in our Teaching Diversity Initiative (TDI).
TDI (
http://aom.pace.edu/med/tdi.htm) is an effort to promote diversity in management education and development, both within the division and in the Academy at large, through collaboration with the Gender and Diversity in Organizations Division (GDO). The GDO website has a "Teaching" section dedicated to improving and supporting the teaching of courses and topics related to diversity (broadly defined).
Take a look at the valuable resources already available at
http://divisions.aomonline.org/gdo/teaching/index.htm - Course syllabi - undergraduate, graduate (pdf, html format or link to website)
- Activities, assignments, cases (links with information, table of contents, etc.)
- Teaching resources - links to articles, books, online materials and other resources for teaching diversity-related courses or topics
Go one step further and share your own ideas, recommendations and resources by contacting the GDO Website Manager:
Ron Ophir, York University
ophir@yorku.ca (416) 736-2100 ext. 30113
E-mail contributions are preferred (with Microsoft Word, PDF or Rich Text Format (RTF) attachments).
If you would like to send in material via regular mail, please use the following address:
Ron Ophir

4700 Keele Street
Toronto, Ontario M3J 1P3, Canada
Your support will be deeply appreciated by GDO, MED and all who care about diversity! Your name and affiliation will be displayed in the GDO website, along with your contribution. MED would also be happy to send a formal letter to your Dean, acknowledging your contribution to this valuable effort. Just send an e-mail to rbento@mit.edu with your name, the nature of your contribution to the GDO website and your dean's contact information
Last but not least, we would also like to remind you that Rosalie Tung has chosen Diversity as the theme for her term as Academy President in 2003-2004. We invite you to participate in an Academy-wide conversation about Valuing Diversity by using the discussion board at http://forums.aomonline.org/
Cyber-collegially,
Regina
