Following a global financial crisis and numerous political challenges, 2011 appears to offer us new opportunities for engaging in debates and research work. Bridging economic, political, and social challenges this period continues to be a problematic reality check for theoretical and empirical perspectives. Are the current events ahead of scholars’ conceptualizations, politicians’ capabilities, and policy-makers’ solutions? With many challenges ahead, we hope to generate interdisciplinary academic debates that tackle relevant topics in their fields of research. Through this year’s conference we hope to provide an interdisciplinary space which will enable different perspectives and approaches to come together in order to provide explanations and understandings of contemporary processes.
We encourage young faculty and graduate students to propose panels on Political Science, Public Policy, International Relations, European Studies, Philosophy, Gender, Nationalism, Sociology, and Anthropology. Each panel will include maximum 8 papers, each participant acting both as presenter and discussant. Panels should include no more than two participants from the same university/institute.
Applications consist of the filled application form (available on the website) and a CV of the panel chair. Incomplete panels are also considered (no less than 5 papers). If accepted, the panel chairs will fill their panels in February 2011 when paper applications will be possible.
No participation fee. The organizers provide hotel accommodation (two nights) and meals for all presenters, panel chairs are entitled to travel grants.
Panel applications should be sent to: ceuconf2011@yahoo.com. Refer to the same address for further enquiries.
Deadline for panel proposals: January 25, 2011.
The results of the selection process will be available by February 1, 2011.
