Philosophy Conferences and Calls for Papers

This conference is the penultimate annual gathering of the School of the
Humanities and Social Sciences (HuSS), which includes the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies (IAIS). HuSS includes over 450 research and taught postgraduate students, as well as over 80 faculty and research assistant posts. The conference will feature 3 keynote speakers, 13 themed paper sessions given by postgraduate students, poster presentations by masters students, graduate training workshops and a research methods discussion session. In inviting a wide array of representatives from local organizations, businesses, and associations to join us, the conference will challenge stereotypes of the academic ‘ivory tower’, encouraging students and practitioners to dialogue over new advances in their fields and creating new links between the university and the local community.

In particular, our keynote speaker (co-sponsored by Café Scientifique), Professor Hroar Klempe, Dean of Psychology from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, will examine the applications of music for conflict resolution: www.huss.ex.ac.uk/postgrad/pgconf2006/klempe_abstract.htm
