CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: DEADLINE: April 30 2012



CONFERENCE: Human[i]ties Perspective 2012: Empowerment in a Globalized Society

Roskilde University, Denmark

5-6 October 2012


Human[i]ties Perspective is an academic conference and career orientation event supported by the DG of Education and Culture of the European Commission. As part of the REALISE IT joint initiative between the Erasmus Mundus Association (EMA) and OCEANS Network, this conference aims to facilitate a collective reflection on some of the key challenges facing the Humanities in the 21st century in Europe among young academics, professionals, and professors.

Our world is increasingly connected through higher education student mobility initiatives, especially in Media, Communication, Education, Cultural studies, European studies, and, more widely, the Humanities. Integrated mobility in joint-degree and multilateral cooperation program like Erasmus Mundus and OCEANS are relevant examples of this. Thus, the Humanities are becoming a more cross-cultural, interdisciplinary, and globalized field of study. However, the declining international career landscape for graduates of the Humanities, as well as the applicability of subjects studied, pose new and complex challenges.

Thus, to inspire and empower recent graduates in the Humanities and strengthen the network of professionals in human sciences, this conference aims to provide an opportunity for delegates to exchange new ideas in the Humanities and share career and application experiences face-to-face. In addition, this event aims to lay the cornerstones of a wider Human[i]ties Professional Network, building research groups, project teams, and business relations across borders.

We welcome the submission of paper proposals - academic or project-based - on any topic or period related to the following themes:



«         European Cultural Diplomacy and Cultural Policy

«         Communication, Media & Participation

«         Education: Teaching Competencies for Empowerment

«         Women’s Empowerment in a Globalized Society

Paper proposals must include:



«         Name of the author(s) and current position

«         Biographical note (150-200 words)

« Paper abstract of no more than 300-500 words (clearly indicating the theme of interest)



The deadline for the submission of paper proposals is Monday 30 April 2012 (17:00 GMT). Paper proposals should be sent to (prog.humanities2012 /at/ gmail.com) - with the subject heading: “HP12 Call for Papers”. Selected participants will be notified on or shortly after 15 May.
