Mapping the Field: Contemporary Theories of Race, Racism and Ethnicity
Call For Papers: BSA Race Ethnicity Study Group Conference
Mapping the Field: Contemporary Theories of Race, Racism and Ethnicity
Newman University Friday 31 January 2014
The idea for this conference arose from a discussion at the BSA Race and Ethnicity Study Group business meeting at the annual conference in 2013. Our aim is to bring to light the diverse range of theoretical work that is being developed and to consider how the theory is brought to bear on current issues of race, racism and ethnicity. Papers are invited that both explore contemporary theoretical debates and consider the ways in which diverse theoretical frameworks are deployed in specific areas of study. Paper topics include, but are not restricted to, the following themes: [Click on this link to go to the BSA Race and Ethnicity Study Group web page] [Click on this link to download the Call For Papers as a PDF]
