CALL FOR PAPERS, DUE MAY 15th:
Conference on Global citizenship, Collective identity, and Tolerance
http://www.chillicothe.ohiou.edu/pages/library/GCCIT/
This conference seeks to draw papers from multiple disciplinary backgrounds on the relationship between citizenship, collective identity, and tolerance in the context of contemporary globalization. Across the social sciences today there is much talk of the rise of postnationalism, the return of religion, terrorism, the global integration of markets, and the various forms of social-epistemology with which these are associated.
We invite papers that examine any social/political psychological aspect of globalization, collective identity, and tolerance, including papers that examine the following questions:
--What is the impact of globalization on social identity?
--How does religion influence and shape collective/social identity?
--How does globalization, collective identity, and/or religion shape intra- and inter-group behaviors, including but not limited to cooperation, conflict, and tolerance?
--As the world is transformed by globalization, what role does justice and/or morality in shaping human behavior?
--How do individual-level processes influence intra- and inter-group interactions?
Invited speakers include:
Nancy Buchan, University of South Carolina
Martha Cottam, Washington State University
Ramzi Suleiman, University of Haifa
Hamideh Sedghi, Harvard University
The conference will take place at the Chillicothe campus of Ohio University, Sept. 23-25th, 2010. The registration fee of $150.00 (reduced fee for students, $75.00) will include all meals, opening reception, and transportation between the conference hotels and meetings. Arrangements for free transportation to and from Columbus airport can be made in advance.
The conference seeks to encourage submissions from graduate students in particular and will offer a $200 award to the best graduate student paper presented.
