These three imperatives cannot be easily reconciled and are often in uneasy or actual conflict. Their integration is an important political, social and cultural project with which activists and theorists must engage for a truly democratic society to develop. The conference programme will include two well-known keynote speakers. The key themes to be addressed in this conference are: * minority identities and cultures of resistance * the problem of 'the Other' in ethics, morality and religion * policing identity and difference: politics, policy and practice * cultural representations of difference Proposals for papers -up to 250 words- should include title, topic, summary, your affiliation and subject area.
