Call for Proposals: 2012 CES Conference

Call for Proposals

19th International Conference of Europeanist

March 22-24, 2012

Boston, Massachusetts, United States

Europe is a zone of tremendous diversity. Migration within and to Europe has generated multicultural societies across the continent. Europe’s citizens are ruled through an intricate maze of multi-level governance structures; its corporations, industries, and states operate in distinct ways in different settings; and its western and eastern regions have often developed along dissimilar trajectories.

Thus, for the 19th International Conference of Europeanists, the Council for European Studies is calling for proposals that reflect on and explore the variety of diversities within Europe: political, administrative, legal, geographic, economic, social, cultural, intellectual, and identitarian. CES welcomes proposals for panels, roundtables, book discussions and individual papers on the study of Europe broadly defined, in the widest range of disciplines and with configurations that transcend disciplinary, national and generational boundaries.
