Call for Papers "The Challenge of Multiculturalism in the Eastern and Central Europe" International Workshop Society for the Research of Religions and Ideologies (SACRI) Al. I. Cuza University Iasi (Romania) 28-30 October 2004
Description: The topic and issues of multiculturalism represent the research object of several categories of disciplines, such as political science, sociology, philosophy, history and so on. In the same time, it constitutes the basic theory for many practitioners, ranging from politicians to representatives of NGOs. Through this project, we attempt at facilitating the encounter and the dialogue among all these types of people, in a 3-day workshop and consequently in a volume with the texts and discussions. In this way, we expect to benefit from an interdisciplinary meeting where both the theoretical framework and the concrete cases should be put face to face. The invitation of specialists from the whole CEE region is meant to open up the discussion and to bring about the consolidation of a network of people connected by their topic of investigation. In the same time, we intend to disseminate and multiply the information and the practical knowledge on these issues. This is why we plan to invite representatives of mass media to participate during the whole event, and to a press conference. It represents another reason for publicizing the results of the workshop in a volume. Sections of the workshop: 1. Multicultural/ intercultural politics. Theoretical framework, challenges and opportunities 2. The challenge and the reality of multiculturality in the CEE region. Case studies, threats and solutions 3. Multicultural education.
