[ecrea] international symposium in Padova, December 2012

Sat Nov 24 08:02:17 GMT 2012




we are pleased to announce this upcoming event.

The Symposium /The Future of Political and Social Sciences. An International and Interdisciplinary Conversation/, to be held in Padova on December 14 and 15, 2012, gathers distinguished scholars from different disciplinary and geo-cultural backgrounds to address the challenges of global transformations.

Globality is assumed not only as a subject to investigate contemporary societal complexities but also as a condition that should make us rethink assumptions and perspectives in political and social sciences as well as the wager of higher education in increasingly globalized societies. Citizenship and democratic principles; freedoms, rights and responsibilities; languages, access to knowledge and communication tools will be some of the key concepts informing this international and interdisciplinary conversation. A specific focus is devoted to innovative educational practices being ideated and implemented worldwide.

The event also launches a broader project - /Next Generation Global Studies/ (www.nextgenerationglobalstudies.eu <http://www.nextgenerationglobalstudies.eu/>) - the aim of which is to contribute in making sense of contemporary social experiences facing plural times and spaces of globalization.
