Forum - Cultural Diversity and Employment
Cultural diversity and employment remain important issues for Quebec cultural communities. On November 17, 2012 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Black Studies Center Building, 1968 De Maisonneuve, the Quebec Board of Black Educators in collaboration with the BSC and ICED (JMSB, Concordia) hosted a town hall forum to discuss this issue. The event was billed as QBBE Conference and Workshops on Businesses Operating in the Cracks of the Market. For more information contact Professor C. Bayne at bayne@jmsb.concordia.ca or qbbe@videotron.ca. Also keep checking this site for future publication of links to videos and papers.
