Call for papers:
Inter@nic network, the Competence Centre South East Europe at the University of Graz and the European Academy of Bolzano/Bozen are organizing a conference "Ethnic Reconciliation in the Western Balkans: What Role for Academia?".
The conference will be taking place at the Faculty of Law in Graz from 5 to 6 September 2008.
Aim:
The conference shall gather academics working on questions of human and minority rights, post-conflict reconstruction, inter-ethnic reconciliation and dialogue, as well as on the role of Europeanization process with respect to ethnic reconciliation in the Western Balkans. It is expected the conference will serve as a point of departure for greater inter-institutional and inter-personal links in the Western Balkans and with other European institutions. Academics and researcher from the Western Balkans countries are particularly encouraged to apply. In addition to this, the conference is aiming to disseminate research findings of the FP6 funded research project "Human and Minority Rights in the Cycle of Ethnic Conflict".
Target group:
The participants of the conference are supposed to be young scholars, researchers and academics who have already demonstrated commitment to the above described topics in their academic work and/or in practical terms. The conference will thus also be able to take stock of the role of academics in the reconciliation process and identify successes and failures, and propose new ways forward.
Deadlines:
Abstracts should be no longer than 300 words and be submitted electronically to Antonija Petricusic at antonija.petricusic @uni-graz. at no later than August 15, 2008. Notification of acceptance will be communicated by August 20, 2008. Authors are required to submit full papers not exceeding 8000 words by 15 October 2008 for the conference follow up publication.
