Call for
Papers
Founded in 1990, the Alliance of Universities for Democracy (AUDEM) is a consortium of American and Central and East European universities united for the common purpose of supporting institutions of higher learning in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in their transition from suppression in centrally-planned economies to their democratic roles in market-driven economies. Currently, AUDEM’s members number over 110 institutions of higher learning in CEE and the United States. (For more information about the Alliance and its Members, please go to www.aubg.bg/audem)
Faculty, students, and administrators from institutions
of higher education throughout the world are kindly invited to attend
the
Thirteenth Annual Conference:
Higher Education in a Period of
Social Change and Political
Transformation
November 9 – 13, 2002, Timisoara,
Romania
The Annual Conference is hosted by the Politehnica University of Timisoara. We will be meeting in Timisoara, Romania, a city that occupies a very special place in the history of the 1989 Revolution in Romania. We think it would be valuable to have a general session on the topic “Timisoara and the Romanian Revolution of 1989”, and therefore invite our Romanian colleagues to submit proposals for presentations. This year, the overall theme is reflected in the following tracks:
Assessing Democracy and Social Life in
Contemporary Societies The Transformation of Universities in the
21st Century Assuring Quality in Higher
Education Student Perspectives: Student Papers &
Presentations Open Track: Papers and Presentations Are
Invited
The following are suggested topics and titles for panels, roundtables and workshops. They will be grouped by Track. Colleagues are also invited to propose additional topics. Colleagues proposing a paper or presentation should indicate which topic or which track the proposal will fit under.
