[Commlist] call for papers: Second International Conference on Cultural Diversity

The Language, Society, and Culture Studies Lab (LSCS-Lab), Ben M’sik 
Faculty of Letters & Humanities, Hassan II University of Casablanca, 
Morocco, organises the Second International Conference on Cultural 
Diversity on November 26-27, 2025.

In the context of non-Western geographies, histories, and cultures, 
theorists related to or working within Postcolonial thought have 
troubled the penchant for social, intellectual, and cultural Eurocentric 
uniformity. Victor Segalen’s aesthetics of diversity, Homi Bhabha’s 
third space, Édouard Glissant’s poetics of relation and creolisation, 
and Bhikhu Parekh’s multiculturalism have laid the groundwork for 
non-hegemonic and non-assimilationist inscriptions of diversity and 
difference in contemporary thought and culture. These theorists and 
critics, among others, have brought human diversity to centre stage and 
chanted a choir of praise for cultural diversity in a world where 
hegemonic cultural economics exerts coercion to maintain the status quo.

The LSCS-Lab invites 20-minute papers from across disciplines on topics 
related but not limited to the following:

  * Postcolonial Forms of Cultural Diversity
  * Multilingualism and Multiculturalism
  * Cultural Diversity and Translation
  * Cultural Diversity in Media
  * Literature, Visual Arts and Cultural Diversity
