Diversity in Cities: Visible and Invisible Walls

London, UK, 11-12 September 2007

Organised by the Department of Anthropology, University College London
(UCL), the conference entitled Diversity in Cities: Visible and Invisible
Walls will be held in London, on 11-12 September 2007. The Conference is
organised under the auspices of the Marie Curie Series of Conferences
EURODIV: Cultural Diversity in Europe (MSCF-CT-2004-516670). Its main
objective is to bring together researchers in the first years of their
research career to exchange knowledge in a spirit of mutual learning.
Leading diversity scholars will be invited to introduce the topics of the
Conference.

Diversity is a key feature of European societies. European integration,
global migrations, the ageing of the population, and changing gender roles
have shed light on diversity and put it on the agenda. EURODIV organises a
set of Conferences on the understanding of diversity and its dynamics
through an interdisciplinary and cross-national approach.

The third EURODIV Conference takes the social arena as the unit of
analysis of cultural diversity. Focusing on cities, it studies the
interaction between urban space, the dynamics of identity formation, the
construction of cross-cultural relationships and the emergence of cultural
dialogue. The Conference provides an opportunity for diversity scholars to
discuss the state-of-the-art of research and to envisage possible
alternative scenarios of research specifically within European contexts.
