Conference

Across the globe, the higher education and research sector is changing rapidly. As it continues to expand along the elite-mass-universal trajectory described by Martin Trow, it is subject to unprecedented structural reforms and transformations. These changes are often captured in a framework variously labelled ‘academic capitalism’, ‘marketization’ or ‘entrepreneurialism’, with the common denominator that the market is the new central principle of academic practice.

We invite submission of abstracts for a panel entitled "Discourses from Latin America and the Caribbean: Current Concepts and Challenges", to be proposed as a part of The Sixth International Conference on Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis across Disciplines (CADAAD 2016), which will take place at the University of Catania in Italy, 5-7 September 2016.

This call for papers is for a panel to be held at the 24th Lavender Languages and Linguistics Conference (28-30 April 2017, Nottingham, UK). Apologies for any crossposting.

Call for Papers: Corpus Linguistics in Language and Sexuality Studies

This call concerns a panel at the MANCEPT Workshops 2017 in Manchester, UK. The MANCEPT Workshops is an annual conference in political theory, organised under the auspices of the Manchester Centre for Political Theory. This year’s conference will take place on Monday 11 September to Wednesday 13 September at the Arthur Lewis Building, University of Manchester. The conference offers academics an opportunity to come together in a series of workshops so as to develop specialised work and engage in lively philosophical discussion.

Friday 11th September 2009, Aston University

Dear all,

Perhaps someone is interested in proposing a panel/paper for the section „Developments of and in International Organisations – From Interstate Cooperation to Global Order?“ I am organizing together with a colleague for the ECPR 2011 in Reykjavik (25-27 August).
