Multiculturalism, Conflict and Belonging

This multi-disciplinary project seeks to explore the new and
prominent place that the idea of culture has for the construction of
identity and the implications of this for social membership in
contemporary societies. In particular, the project will assess the
context of major world transformations, for example, new forms of
migration and the massive movements of people across the globe, as
well as the impact of globalisation on tensions, conflicts and on the
sense of rootedness and belonging. Looking to encourage innovative
trans-disciplinary dialogues, we warmly welcome papers from all
disciplines, professions and vocations which struggle to understand
what it means for people, the world over, to forge identities in
rapidly changing national, social and cultural contexts.

In order to support and encourage interdisciplinarity engagement, it
is our intention to create the possibility of starting dialogues
between the parallel events running during this conference. Delegates
are welcome to attend up to two sessions in each of the concurrent
conferences. We also propose to produce cross-over sessions between
these groups – and we welcome proposals which deal with the
relationship between Fear, Horror and Terror and Multiculturalism.

The conference is part of the Diversity and Recognition research
projects, which in turn belong to the At the Interface programmes of
Inter-Disciplinary.Net. It aims to bring together people from
different areas and interests to share ideas and explore discussions
which are innovative and challenging. All proposals accepted for and
presented at the conference must be in English and will be eligible
for publication in an ISBN eBook.  Selected proposals may be
developed for publication in a themed hard copy volume(s). All
publications from the conference will require editors, to be chosen
from interested delegates from the conference.

Inter-Disciplinary.Net believes it is a mark of personal courtesy and
professional respect to your colleagues that all delegates should
attend for the full duration of the meeting. If you are unable to
make this commitment, please do not submit an abstract for
presentation.
