Call for Papers "Values in an Age of Multiculturalism" 36th Conference on Value Inquiry American Society for Value Inquiry Centre for Practical Ethics, York University Toronto, ON (Canada) 17-20 April 2009 __________________________________________________ The 36th Conference on Value Inquiry “Values in an Age of Multiculturalism” will be held at York University in Toronto, Canada, 17-20 April, 2009, hosted by the Centre for Practical Ethics. This conference will bring together academics, judges, politicians and public servants from Canada and the world. An annual conference of the American Society for Value Inquiry, Values in an Age of Multiculturalism, will explore how values are impacted and shaped by both the social fact of multiculturalism and multiculturalism as a political ideal. Among the themes that the conference will explore are: immigration law policy and practice; religious freedom; education; work; precarious status; health care; inclusion exclusion and marginalization; language issues; the duties of citizenship; and issues in law for a diverse population. Papers, and proposals for papers, that address concerns of social value, individual value, or relations among values of both types are welcome. Early Submission is strongly encouraged and advised. Papers should be between 20-25 minutes reading time. Papers may be practically or theoretically oriented. Topics may be disciplinary and range over issues within a single field of value inquiry such as normative ethics, applied ethics, aesthetics, political theory, or economics. Topics may be interdisciplinary and range over issues between two or more fields of value inquiry. Topics may even be meta-disciplinary and range over purely conceptual issues important for fuller understanding of matters of values in an age of multiculturalism. Invited speakers include: Professor Tariq Modood Sociology, University Research Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship, Bristol University Professor Monique Deveaux Political Science, Williams College Deadline for proposals: 15 January 2009.
