Why Become a Member?

Becoming a member of the Diversity in Organizations, Communities & Nations Research Network means joining a global community examining identity, belonging, social cohesion, institutional change, and structural inequities across contexts. Membership sustains the conferences, journals, books, and digital infrastructures that support interdisciplinary work on migration, policy, community development, social movements, and organizational culture. Members receive full electronic access to Network publications, Open Access discounts, and defined publication pathways from conference presentations into peer-reviewed journals and books—embedding local and organizational insights within global scholarly conversations.

At the same time, membership gives you year-round engagement through the Member Knowledge Community on CGScholar, where profiles, projects, and conversations remain in motion between conferences. This online commons brings the Knowledge Experience into practice, supporting preparation, presentation, reflection, and publication as an ongoing cycle. Here, members share works-in-progress, participate in light community-guided review, access programs, archives, media, and calls, and help sustain a culture of reciprocity and care that keeps ideas—and relationships—alive over time.
