The International Journal of Bias, Identity and Diversities in Education (IJBIDE) investigates critically the positioning of diverse individuals in formal and informal contexts of education – from kindergarten to adult education, but also lifelong learning. Diversities here refer to different identity markers such as ethnicity, religion, gender, social class, disabilities and language. IJBIDE is clearly positioned within a non-essentialist, non-culturalist perspective. IJBIDE also aims to promote original research methods by linking up macro- and micro-approaches. The journal is fully blind peer reviewed by the best experts in the field and publishes empirical and conceptual research and case studies from around the world.

The Education for Diversities Research Group (E4D) and Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) organized an international conference entitled Intercultural Competence in Communication and Education (ICCed 2015) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 8-9 April 2015.

Participants from all over the world discussed new, critical and original approaches to the concept of intercultural competence. The most influential models were also ‘dissected’.

The conference keynote speakers included: Anne Cheng from the prestigious College de France in Paris (France), Adrian Holliday from the University of Canterbury Christ Church (UK), Ezhar Tamam from UPM (Malaysia) and Fred Dervin from University of Helsinki. Several publications will appear in 2016 to disseminate the results of the conference.
