The International Conference on Diversity in Organizations, Communities & Nations is hosted each year in partnership with a leading university. It provides a space for scholarly and practical exchange on inclusion, governance, and cultural pluralism. Recent hosts include University of Nicosia (Cyprus), Lusiada University (Portugal), University of Toronto (Canada), and University of Patras (Greece).
The Diversity in Organizations, Communities & Nations Journal Collection publishes peer-reviewed research that advances understanding of identity, equity, and participation across the social sciences and humanities.
The Diversity in Organizations, Communities & Nations Book Imprint publishes monographs and edited volumes that bridge theory and practice—exploring diversity through institutional, cultural, and policy perspectives.
The Diversity in Organizations, Communities & Nations Research Network is also a digital Community on CGScholar, a platform developed by Common Ground Media Lab. Through the Community App and the Knowledge Experience (KX) ecosystem, members engage year-round—sharing profiles, posting new research, and connecting conference participation, journal publication, and book authorship in one continuous scholarly experience.
The Network is chaired by Dr. Eugenia Arvanitis, Assistant Professor of Interculturality & Diversity in Education at the University of Patras, Greece, and co-chaired by Dr. Carmen Miguel Vicente and Dr. Mari Ángeles Medina Sánchez, both of University of Granada, Spain. Their leadership reflects the Network’s commitment to global dialogue and bilingual accessibility.
