Call For Papers

we are pleased to invite you to participate to the “International Conference on Cross Cultural Encounters (ICCCE 2016)”. The conference will provide excellent international forum for sharing knowledge and experience of the student, researchers and also interested persons.

Historical and contemporary global migration involves a range of cross-cultural encounters, but how are these interactions discussed, debated, and defined? Identities are various: personal, national, religious, regional, racial, gender etc., and it is very difficult to determine which identity is affecting us most. Sometimes it can be one, and sometimes the other. The notion of identity is often ending up in stereotyping and othering of those who have different identities, and irrespective of the approach we take in identity studies we always end up with the same dilemma: why are identities and identifications so important? These and other issues will be a subject of our conference.

This three-days multidisciplinary conference seeks to examine past and present migrant encounters with other peoples in a diverse range of locations.

Papers from various disciplinary angles are welcome from both academics and other researchers across a variety of themes from any historical period or region.
