The sitxth WeberWorldCafé of the foundation "Max Weber Stiftung" will further discuss what impact and effects diversity has - as well as examine the powers that constitute and produce diversity - by considering discourses on diversity, institutional frameworks, migration flows, and goals and interactions of individual actors. In order to touch on as many aspects of diversity as possible, there will be bundled issues to be discussed at eight "topic tables".
