Call for papers deadline extension

Postgraduate Conference ‘Citizenship in the 21st Century: Sociological, Political and Cultural Perspectives’

The University of Huddersfield 18th of June 2014

Call for papers deadline extension

We would like to thank a number of excellent contributors for sending us a selection of very high quality abstracts. Having now seen the broad themes that have emerged from our reading of these submissions, we have decided to reformulate our original panel structure to best accommodate our speakers. As a result of these changes to the original structure we have chosen to extend the deadline for the submission of abstracts until the 12^th of May to allow the opportunity for more participants to present their work at this conference.

The new deadline is Monday 12^th of May

Confirmed speakers – Dr Nick Stevenson (University of Nottingham) Dr Darren Langdridge (The Open University) and Dr Chris Gifford (University of Huddersfield).

We are calling for postgraduate students and early career researchers interested in and researching a broad range of issues related to the academic field of citizenship. We are happy to receive abstracts from those who can best demonstrate a critical engagement with these following key themes from a citizenship perspective:

– Race and ethnicity

– Gender and sexuality

– Communication, Democracy and Recognition

– Disability and Health Rights

Students are invited to submit abstracts of no more than 250 words to: PGRNetwork@hud.ac.uk by Monday the 12^th of May

The long term aim of this conference is to collate work that will collectively contribute to an edited volume on the theme of 21^st Century citizenship.
