The International Journal of Diversity in Organizations, Communities and Nations creates a space for discussion for anyone with an interest in, and concern for, mediating cultural difference and diversity. The journal examines the realities of difference and diversity today, empirically and critically as well as optimistically and strategically, touching upon the topics of globalization, identity and social group formation. At a time of virulent reactions to difference and globalization (ethnonationalism, racist backlash, parochialism and protectionism), there is a pressing need to reflect critically on the shape and the possibilities of the normative agendas of diversity and globalism. The journal is a place for thinking about and discussing these pressing matters, and in ways that range from the ‘big picture’ and the theoretical, to the practical and everyday business of negotiating difference and diversity in organizations, communities and civic life.

The journal is relevant for academics, educators and research students in the fields of globalization, nationalism, anthropology and cultural studies, tourism studies, ethnic studies, indigenous studies, gender studies, disability studies, gay and lesbian studies, diversity management; public administrators and policy-makers; private and public sector leaders: diversity management, equal employment opportunity, human resource development and workplace trainers and change agents—anyone with an interest, and concern for, mediating cultural difference.

The International Journal of Diversity in Organizations, Communities and Nations is peer-reviewed, supported by rigorous processes of criterion-referenced article ranking and qualitative commentary, ensuring that only intellectual work of the greatest substance and highest significance is published.

The Diversity in Organizations, Communities and Nations knowledge community publishes into a family of journals. This consists of a series of thematically focused journals, as well as a highlights journal that republishes a selection of articles for the thematic journals. All papers accepted for publication will appear in one of the following thematic journals:

• The International Journal of Organizational Diversity
• The International Journal of Community Diversity
• The International Journal of Diverse Identities
• The International Journal of Diversity in Education

Each of these journals has the subtitle: ‘A section of The International Journal of Diversity in Organizations, Communities, and Nations’.

The highlights journal consists only of reprints of articles from the thematic journals. It contains top-ranked articles and works by invited contributions, including plenary speakers from the International Conference on Diversity in Organizations, Communities and Nations. This is not a second publication of an article. As the subtitle of the highlights journal clearly indicates, this journal only consists of reprints.

Authors can request which of the thematic journals they would prefer for the publication of their article. Alternatively, when the author does not opt to make a selection, the Common Ground editorial team will curate each paper into the appropriate thematic journal.
