Global Conference
Creating Cultural Synergies ?
Setting Intercultural Competence to Work in a Changing World
Thursday, 29th September 2011 ? Saturday, 1st October 2011
Paris-Lodron University Salzburg, AUSTRIA
Call for Papers:
Globalization, having brought people in contact
with one another at a yet unprecedented scale,
has also posed a general challenge to
traditionally upheld concepts of race, gender,
nation and class. For those living in this
rapidly changing cultural landscape,
intercultural competence has become a core skill.
The Global Conference in Salzburg aims to bring
researchers and practitioners from
interdisciplinary fields and settings together
to discuss and share research, theory and best
practices and foster a dialogue on issues
related to setting intercultural theories to work.
The conference will have sessions for talks, posters and workshops.
We welcome papers in the following categories
related to the broader theme of intercultural studies:
· Interculturality and Leadership in Business
· Intercultural Competence and Empowerment
· Language, Politics and Intercultural Communication
· Intercultural Competence in Understanding Religion
It is expected that talks should not last longer
than 20 minutes. Speakers whose papers are
accepted have to submit a full paper (10 pages,
20.000 ? 25.000 words) until 1st November 2011 for publication.
Posters will focus on state-of-the-art research
in intercultural competence. Workshops (to be
held in German and in English in parallel
sessions) will concern themselves with the following topics:
· Intercultural Empowerment
· Intercultural Education
· Intercultural Coaching
Proposals (400-600 words) should be emailed
until 15th April, 2011 to Dr. Birgit Breninger:
