Forgiveness: Probing the Boundaries - Salzburg
| March 13, 2009 | to | March 16, 2009 |
Interdisciplinary.Net presents Forgiveness: Probing the Boundaries March 13-16, 2009, in Salzburg, Austria.
This inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary conference project seeks to investigate and explore the nature, significance, and practices of forgiveness. Asking for or granting forgiveness can often be a routine part of everyday life, but the nature of forgiveness as a personal, social and even international practice can be quite complex. It raises a wide variety of questions that touch on a vast array of academic disciplines. In cases of significant transgressions, social tensions, and even international conflicts the questions of what counts as forgiveness and how granting or withholding it can fundamentally change individual or international relationships becomes both more difficult and important to assess. This conference will look at the full range of this complexity. To encourage innovative trans-disciplinary dialogues, we warmly welcome papers from all disciplines, professions and vocations.
The deadline for submitting abstracts was Sept. 19, 2008.

| October 31, 2008 | to | November 2, 2008 |
Interdisciplinary.Net presents Pluralism, Inclusion & Citizenship Oct. 31 to Nov. 2, 2008, in Salzburg, Austria.
With this inter- and multi-disciplinary project we seek to explore the new developments and changes of the idea of pluralism and their implications for social and political processes of inclusion and citizenship in contemporary societies. The project will also assess the larger context of major world transformations, such as new forms of migration and the massive movements of people across the globe, as well as the impact of the multiple dynamics of globalisation on rootedness and membership (including their tensions and conflicts) and on a general sense of social acceptance and recognition.
