CALL FOR PAPERS:
Conference on Global citizenship, Collective identity, and
Tolerance
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?
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.
Abstracts should be no more than 250 words in length and include
the title of the proposed presentation, name of author(s), and
