Proposals are invited by October 12 for the 8th Global Conference on Pluralism, Inclusion and Citizenship, Saturday 16th March – Monday 18th March 2013, Lisbon, Portugal.
This multi-disciplinary project seeks to explore the new developments and changes of the idea of pluralism and their implications for social and political processes of inclusion, exclusion and citizenship in contemporary societies. The project will also assess the larger context of major world transformations, such as new forms of migration and the massive movements of people across the globe, as well as the impact of the multiple dynamics of globalisation on rootedness and membership (including their tensions and conflicts) and on a general sense of social acceptance and recognition. Looking to encourage innovative trans-disciplinary dialogues, the organizers warmly welcome papers from all disciplines, professions and vocations which struggle to understand what it means for people, the world over, to be citizens in rapidly changing national, social and political landscapes.
