A Puget Sound Regional Conference and Publication Launch

University of Washington, Seattle
Husky Union Building (HUB)
Friday, October 30, 2009
Co-sponsored by the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity
and the Diversity Research Institute
This regional conference is being held to launch The Routledge International Companion to Multicultural Education, to celebrate the culmination of this two-year project and to disseminate the results of this project.
The Routledge International Companion to Multicultural Education is the first authoritative reference work
to provide a comprehensive international description and analysis of multicultural education from many
nations, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Norway,
Indonesia, Brazil, and Mexico. The volume consists of 40 newly commissioned chapters written by a
prestigious group of internationally known scholars.
In this conference, several authors of the Companion from different nations will provide an overview of the volume, the historical development of multicultural education within their nations, the major debates in the field, and make scholarly bservations and predictions about the future of multicultural education within their nations. A major objective of this conference is to facilitate a comparative study of multicultural education across nations and to discuss the implications of education and diversity in other nations for enriching theory, research, and practice in the United States.
