Stewart David Ikeda is descended from families who, somewhere down the line, started elsewhere -- in Europe and Asia.  This has imbued him with a particular and lasting interest in and commitment to exploring the benefits and confronting the challenges of American diversity and our multicultural constitution.

Applying these interests to a variety of professional and creative ends, he has been invited to lecture, teach, conduct workshops, and consult to businesses on topics ranging from diversity recruitment and retention to niche marketing, from ethnic media publishing to multicultural education, from civil liberties to the Asian-American arts, cultures, and politics.  He has taught college courses in ethnic studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Boston College, led seminars and published widely on diversity-related topics, and took a lead role in creating one of the country's most respected diversity recruitment e-businesses and online multicultural communities at IMDiversity.com, twice named "Best Equal Opportunity Site" by Yahoo! Internet Life Magazine.

In this section you can learn more about Ikeda's work in these areas; review some of his feature writing for the Multicultural Villages Online and other publications; discover What the Scarecrow Said, his book detailing the immigration, internment, and reconciliation of a Japanese-American family from the 1800s to WWII to the present; and find related articles, resource links, or even a job in the site's robust online Diversity Career Center powered by IMDiversity.com.
