*12th ISAPS Conference - Human Rights: Africana and Multicultural
Perspectives*
*Location:* United Kingdom
</announce/geography.cgi?geography=United%20Kingdom>
*Conference Date:* 2006-04-20
12th ANNUAL CONFERENCE of INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR AFRICAN PHILOSOPHY
AND STUDIES (ISAPS)
In 1948 the universality of human rights was affirmed with the adoption
of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, yet violations of such
rights occur today on a daily basis in all parts of the world. What are
the implications of these violations? Can the analysis of human rights
from Africana and other cultural perspectives provide constructive
solutions to these problems? Indeed, can universal human rights exist in
a culturally diverse world? The International Society for African
Philosophy and Studies invites papers which deal with the relationship
between culture, multiculturalism and human rights. We also welcome
papers which do not directly address the theme or sub-themes of the
conference, but which are relevant to African Philosophy and African
Studies. The organizers therefore welcome the submission of abstracts on
topics related to the general concerns which have come to define ISAPS.
