Call for Papers Theme: New Approaches to the Study of Ethnic Politics in the Social Sciences Type: Ethnic Politics Workshop Institution: Elliott School of International Affairs, George Washington University Location: Washington, DC (USA) Date: 19.–21.5.2011 Deadline: 28.2.2011 __________________________________________________ We invite applications to present at the second Ethnic Politics Workshop to be held May 19-21, 2011, at the George Washington University (GW) in Washington, DC. The Workshop aims to promote new approaches to the study of ethnic politics in the social sciences by periodically bringing together small interdisciplinary groups of social scientists to exchange ideas, brainstorm, provide constructive criticism of each other's works in progress, and promote joint projects that may result from the workshop. We seek social scientists of all career stages – from post-fieldwork dissertation writers to senior scholars – whose work: (a) demonstrates substantial theoretical innovation grounded in empirical research; (b) has ethnicity as a central focus (or "dependent variable"), not simply as one factor among many; (c) has the potential to lead to generalizable and falsifiable arguments; (d) reflects (potential for) a long-term research program rather than a one-off project. Interested researchers should submit a CV and a one-page description of a research project idea they would like to present at the workshop, explaining how it fits into their longer-term research program. These should be sent to <[email protected]> by February 28, 2011. Applicants will be notified of decisions in March. Transportation and accommodation costs will be covered by the organizers. The meeting is funded by a grant from the Dean of GW's Elliott School of International Affairs. Organizers: Henry E.
