The Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: Assessing Progress, Issues and Gaps symposium will be held at the Macquarie Graduate School of Management November 24 -25, 2011.
It will be run by Macquarie University’s Faculty of Business and Economics, Department of Marketing and Management and the Centre for Workforce Futures, in collaboration with the Diversity Group (University of Sydney) and Hudson. It will focus specifically on gender and cultural diversity.
Scholars from Macquarie, Sydney and NSW universities will provide brief overviews of their research on issues relating to women, migrants and cultural diversity and engage in panel discussions of the issues raised by their work.
Head of the Department of Marketing and Management, Professor Lucy Taksa said they were fortunate to have a world leading expert as part of the event, “Professor Ozbilgin is an expert in diversity and management and we are very much looking forward to able to share and discuss ideas with all involved.”
“This symposium will reflect on progress, issues and gaps in relation to equity, diversity and inclusion in workplaces and will focus on issues relating to gender and culture using both research and organisational perspectives and practices.”
There will also be other presenters from Macquarie University, the University of Sydney, University of Technology Sydney and the University of NSW. There will be a closing discussion held in the last hour of each day, covering the topics brought up through each presentation.
