CALL FOR PAPERS

1 Purpose of the symposium

This Positioning Theory symposium is being offered to enable discussions and reflections on the contribution of Positioning Theory as developed by Rom Harré and others.

The key purpose of the research symposium is to develop a high quality, interactive event that contributes to the development and growth of Positioning Theory research communities globally. The symposium is open to contributions from all social sciences disciplines and research areas, including for instance teaching methods, communication studies, International Relations or conflict analysis as well as to contributions from social theory or philosophy of science.

This symposium is designed to a) present a sample of some of the leading Positioning theoretical research in the world; and, b) to facilitate a series of creative and critical dialogues about research, research development, and research challenges related to Positioning Theory. The expectation is that these dialogues will be original, participatory, creative and collegial.
