Call for Papers Theme: What Follows after the Crisis? Subtitle: Approaches to Global Transformations Type: 7th CEU Conference in Social Sciences Institution: Central European University Location: Budapest (Hungary) Date: 27.–29.5.2011 Deadline: 1.3.2011 __________________________________________________ Following a global financial crisis and numerous political challenges, 2011 appears to offer us new opportunities for engaging in debates and research work. Bridging economic, political, and social challenges this period continues to be a problematic reality check for theoretical and empirical perspectives. Are the current events ahead of scholars’ conceptualizations, politicians’ capabilities, and policy-makers’ solutions? With many challenges ahead, we hope to generate interdisciplinary academic debates that tackle relevant topics in their fields of research. Through this year’s conference we hope to provide an interdisciplinary space which will enable different perspectives and approaches to come together in order to provide explanations and understandings of contemporary processes. The working language of the conference is English. There is no participation fee. Accommodation and meals will be provided for all participants, travel grants are available for panel chairs. Starting 2006, the conference is organized every year. It brings together 10-12 panels with approximately 80 participants from 35 countries. The number of applications gradually increased from year to year reaching a peak of 300 paper applications and 27 panels in 2009 and 2010. The selection of papers is primarily based on their quality. The 7th Conference in Social Sciences is structured on 10 different panels. We encourage young faculty and graduate students to propose papers for the panels that still have available seats. The chairs are in charge of the selection for their panels and interested participants should contact them directly. The standard application procedure requires an abstract of the paper (max. 250 words) and a short CV (max. 3 pages). 1. Representation in Comparative Perspective 2.
