Subject: Nationalism and National Identities Today: Multidisciplinary
     Perspectives - 2nd Call for Papers




Centre for Research on Nationalism, Ethnicity and Multiculturalism 
(CRONEM), University of Surrey Annual Conference 2007 12 - 13 June 2007 
University of Surrey, UK Nationalism and National Identities Today: 
Multidisciplinary Perspectives CALL FOR PAPERS AND PANEL PROPOSALS At the 
end of the Cold War many Western commentators anticipated the advent of a 
New World Order of unipolar American hegemony or/and of global governance 
under the rule of international law, enforceable human rights and 
democratic institutions. Since then, those predictions have been met by 
challenges on behalf of national identities, ethnic rights and demands for 
the reassertion of statehood. Reflection on the present and future 
prospects of nationalism and national identities has retained and raised 
its status as one of the major research areas in the social sciences and 
humanities. After successful conferences in 2005 and 2006 on aspects of 
multiculturalism, CRONEM's focus for the 2007 event is on nationalism(s), 
national identities and the politics of ethnicity. A number of leading 
authorities from a range of different disciplines - political science, 
political geography, history, psychology, sociology, sociolinguistics - 
have agreed to give keynote addresses. As on previous occasions, besides 
the plenary presentations, there will be ample opportunities for papers to 
be presented in parallel panel sessions. Those who have already agreed to 
be keynote speakers are: * James Anderson, Professor of Political 
Geography, Co-Director, Centre for Spatial Territorial Analysis and 
Research (C-STAR), and Co-Director, Centre for International Borders 
Research (CIBR), Queen's University Belfast * Susan Condor, Professor of 
Social Psychology, Department of Psychology, University of Lancaster * 
Nira Yuval-Davis, Professor of Gender & Ethnic Studies, University of East 
London * Ulf Hedetoft, Professor and Director of the Academy for Migration 
Studies in Denmark (AMID), University of Copenghagen * John Hutchinson, 
Reader in Nationalism, Department of Government, London School of 
Economics * George Kolankiewicz, Professor of Sociology with special 
reference to East Central Europe, School of Slavonic and East European 
Studies, University College London and Managing Director, Centre for East 
European Language Based Area Studies CEELBAS * Umut Özkirimli, Associate 
Professor of International Relations, Istanbul Bilgi University, Turkey * 
Patrick Stevenson, Professor of Modern Languages, School of Humanities, 
University of Southampton Panel proposals (including a general 
introduction of about 300 words, plus 300-word abstracts of each of the 
papers) and proposals for individual papers (300-word abstracts) are 
invited on any aspect of contemporary nationalism, but particularly those 
addressing the following themes: Conceptualising nationhood and national 
identities today Comparisons of new and old forms of nationalism 
Nationalistic reactions to globalisation and transnational flows 
Reassertions of national and ethnic identities National and ethnic 
acculturation processes Secessionist and irredentist movements Diasporic
