I don’t normally do advertising, but this seems like a pretty good deal. Just received this email today:
Professor Carr,I hope you’ll remember my name, I used to be the Apple Higher Ed rep covering IPFW – now I’m the AT&T Higher Ed rep covering IPFW. Our ability to get the word out at IPFW on the new Purdue AT&T contract is pretty limited, but thought you’d be interested in knowing that the new iPhone 3G (coming July 11) will be eligible for the 20% monthly plan discount that all Purdue Faculty, Staff and Students can sign up for. This is the biggest discount in the country and is bigger than my discount as an employee
Purdue employee store is at http://www.att.com/wireless/purdueemployees or
http://www.itap.purdue.edu/shopping/ATT/ (ignore the bit about iPhones, it refers to the previous model)Also, please feel free to forward this to anyone else that may be interested!
Thanks!

Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the Conference Organising Committee, we would like to inform you of the:
THE NINTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DIVERSITY IN ORGANISATIONS, COMMUNITIES AND NATIONS
Riga, Latvia, 15-18 June 2009
http://www.Diversity-Conference.com
(Take the Riga 2009 link at the top of this page.)
The Diversity Conference has a history of bringing together scholarly, government and practice-based participants with an interest in the issues of diversity and community. The Conference examines the concept of diversity as a positive aspect of a global world and globalised society. Diversity is in many ways reflective of our present world order, but there are ways of taking this further without necessary engendering its alternatives: racism, conflict, discrimination and inequity. Diversity as a mode of social existence can be projected in ways that deepen the range of human experience. The Conference will seek to explore the full range of what diversity means and explore modes of diversity in real-life situations of living together in community. The Conference supports a move away from simple affirmations that ‘diversity is good’ to a much more nuanced account of the effects and uses of diversity on differently situated communities in the context of our current epoch of globalisation.
As well as impressive line-up of international main speakers, the Conference will also include numerous paper, workshop and colloquium presentations by practitioners, teachers and researchers. We would particularly like to invite you to respond to the Conference Call-for-Papers. Presenters may choose to submit written papers for publication in the fully refereed International Journal of Diversity in Organisations, Communities and Nations. If you are unable to attend the Conference in person, virtual registrations are also available which allow you to submit a paper for refereeing and possible publication in this fully refereed academic Journal, as well as access to the electronic version of the Conference proceedings.
Proposals are reviewed within four weeks of submission. Full details of the Conference, including an online proposal submission form, are to be found at the Conference website - http://www.Diversity-Conference.com
We look forward to receiving your proposal and hope you will be able to join us in Riga in June 2009.
Also, we would like to remind you of the 2008 Conference which will be held 17-20 June 2008 at HEC Montreal in Montreal, Canada.
Yours Sincerely,

Call for Papers International Conference
on “Globalization: Cultures, Institutions and Socioeconomics”
To be held in Hong Kong, December 12-13,
2008
Co-Sponsored by The Chinese University
of Hong Kong and Washington University in St. Louis
Along with recent trends of globalization,
a significant focal point of research has been issues related to “Greater China,”
a notion that originally entailed the potential economic integration of China, Taiwan,
and Hong Kong (including Macau) and has lately been broadened to include Singapore,
Southeast Asian Chinese communities, and overseas Chinese in other countries. Despite
some political repercussions, Greater China has become an indisputable economic
reality today. But economy is not the strongest element at play; rather, a more
prevalent and consequential factor is culture and its role in formal institutions
and informal social customs. This conference is designed to study the causes and
consequences of globalization from cultural, institutional and socioeconomic perspectives,
focusing particularly on topics related to Greater China. It invites scholars to
investigate questions such as these:
The conference will feature several
distinguished keynote and plenary-session speakers, including Nobel Laureate Douglass
North and Professors Michele Boldrin, Frank Dikötter, Robert Hegel, Chang-Tai Hsien,
Gordon Mathews, Hui Wang, and Shaoguang Wang. All sessions will be held on the Chinese
University of Hong Kong campus, while the conference dinner will be housed at the
world-renowned Hong Kong Jockey Club. Submissions of individual papers or organized
sessions are welcome. All submissions must be made through e-mail to all the co-chairs
of the program committee no later than June 30, 2008: Lingchei Letty Chen (llchen@artsci.wustl.edu), Ann Louise Huss
(ahuss@cuhk.edu.hk), Laikwan Pang (crsdept@cuhk.edu.hk), and Ping Wang (pingwang@artsci.wustl.edu). We anticipate
having the preliminary program posted by July 15, 2008.

The San Francisco Bay Area-based Tikkun has just posted a number of job and internship postings. Here is how this nonprofit describes itself:
We are a community of people from many faiths and traditions, called together by the Spiritual Covenant with America (see www.spiritualprogressives.org) and its vision of healing and transforming our world. We include in this call both the outer transformation needed to achieve social justice, ecological sanity, and world peace, and the inner healing needed to foster loving relationships, a generous attitude toward the world and toward others unimpeded by the distortions of our egos. Our movement will encourage a habit of generosity and trust, and the ability to respond to the grandeur of creation with awe, wonder and radical amazement.
