Call for Papers
15 May, 2013 at the University of Essex
This one day conference is the second in a series aimed at students working within the broad interdisciplinary field of human rights. The conference aims to stimulate research on contemporary human rights issues, problems, challenges and policies, and to facilitate the dissemination of such research. We are particularly interested in inviting papers that move beyond standard academic approaches to embrace critically engaged scholarship.
We encourage interdisciplinary research and debate and would welcome papers from many (and multiple) disciplines including Sociology, Anthropology, Law, Politics, Philosophy, Economics, Peace and Conflict Studies, Development Studies and History.
Please send abstracts of up to 300-350 words to HRC@sas.ac.uk by 15 April 2013. Presenters will be asked to speak for 15-20 minutes on their research proposal and work to date.
We welcome participation from students at any stage of their postgraduate research studies. Presenters will present their research in panels to be chaired by senior academics who will also serve as discussants.
There will be an opportunity to learn about publishing academic work, and presenters may have the opportunity to publish their paper through the Human Rights Consortium’s channels.
For more information please visit the event website or the Human Rights Centre website.
