Call for papers - Moving people, changing culture: multidisciplinary perspectives on population mobility and cultural change
13th-14th November 2014
Cardiff University
The conference Moving people, changing culture: multidisciplinary perspectives on population mobility and cultural change will be held at Cardiff University on the 13th and 14th of November 2014. This event aims to bring together scholars from wide-ranging disciplines to explore different methods and directions in the study of cultural change and to showcase the multifarious ways in which population connectivity alters socio-cultural practices.
The chronological and geographical scope of the conference is to be as broad as possible in order to foster interaction between academics from a range of disciplines. We would welcome participation from archaeologists, historians, classicists, sociologists, theologians and from any other discipline whose research is commensurate with the theme. The conference is funded by the British Academy as part of their Early Career Networking Scheme and is being introduced by Professor Alasdair Whittle FBA. The event will also feature a keynote address from Professor Alex Bentley, University of Bristol.
Proposals for papers (20 minutes in length) and posters should be submitted as an abstract (250 words max) to [log in to unmask] by the 22nd September. Preference will be given to early career researchers, but we would encourage contributions from scholars in all stages of their careers. Travel and accommodation bursaries will be provided for speakers if required and travel bursaries will also be offered for a limited number of students attending the conference.
