We are calling for postgraduate students and early career researchers interested in and researching a broad range of issues related to the academic field of citizenship. We are happy to receive abstracts from those who can best demonstrate a critical engagement with these following key themes from a citizenship perspective:
· Race and ethnicity
· Gender and sexuality
· Communication, rights and social movements
· Disability rights
Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words. We invite papers in the form of 20 minute oral presentations or a poster presentation (the format should be clearly stated in the abstract). All submissions must include the author/speaker(s) name, title of paper, university or organizational affiliation, and contact information.
The deadline for submission of abstract is Wednesday 23rd of April 2014. Please email your abstract to the conference organizers at: [log in to unmask] with ‘conference abstract’ in the subject line.
There will be two Best Paper Awards to those who show the highest level of excellence in their work. It is intended that this conference may be used as a basis for the development of an edited collection to be published by the University of Huddersfield Press. You will be notified about whether your paper has been accepted soon after Thursday 1st of May 2014.
Please find attached a Call for Abstracts for this conference and please feel free to circulate this call through your own networks.
