Call for Papers Theme: Perspectives on Power Type: Interdisciplinary Conference for Postgraduates and Early Career Researchers Institution: University of Queensland Location: Brisbane (Australia) Date: 23.–25.11.2011 Deadline: 30.6.2011 __________________________________________________ Power is a concept that underpins much of the research undertaken within the humanities and social sciences. How power is deployed by particular people(s) in the context of specific places is a question that drives the work of scholars from political science, history, media studies, religion and philosophy, through to international relations, anthropology, literature, behavioural studies, psychology and the classics. In November 2011 members of these different disciplines will be invited to consider how the different power relationships influence their own work, while being given the opportunity to learn more about how it affects scholarship in related fields. This conference is an opportunity to display the breadth and diversity of research in the humanities and social sciences. However, within themed seminars presenters and attendees will also have the chance to discover the disciplinary approaches their particular area of research invites.
