Theme: Diversity, Equity & Excellence in Education
The conference will provide a platform for researchers, policy makers
and practitioners in the field of multicultural education from home
and abroad to share ideas and research findings, and build up a
worldwide network of scholarly discussions and friendship.
KAME invites submissions of manuscripts (or extended abstracts which
are detailed enough for the organizers to judge the merits of the
paper). Any presentation pertaining to the conference theme or related
topics dealing with research agendas and policy issues in the field of
multicultural education are welcome.
Please submit the manuscript or
extended abstract electronically with a short curricular vitae to
kame2008@naver.com (or yunkyung@hanyang.ac.kr) by November 10, 2011.
The KAME will inform the authors of whether the submitted paper is

Travel Awards:
KAME will offer five competitive travel awards in the form of an
airline ticket (up to maximum amount of 500 US dollars) plus room and
board during the conference (up to three consecutive nights) to
subsidize travel expenses of the participants. To qualify for the
travel awards competition, authors must agree to submit their papers
to Multicultural Education Review (MER), the official international
journal of KAME within one month after the conference (and the author
is obligated to resubmit the paper to MER just in case the editorial
decision is a “revise and resubmit.”). The Editor of MER guarantees
the first editorial decision within no more than three months, and the
accepted articles will be published in MER within a year after the
final decision is made.
