Call for Papers

 

The International Cultural Research Network was established at the University of Alberta in 1998 at the conclusion of the International Multicultural and International Child/Youth Conferences. ICRN has  hundreds of international members who exchange ideas and discuss various issues such as childhood and youth, technology, human rights, multiculturalism, education, health, welfare, history and politics, war, among others, in an atmosphere of academic collegiality. The ICRN Annual conference provides a unique opportunity to explore in-depth critical issues in international and intercultural relations based on cutting edge research. ICRN maintains a solutions-focused approach to enduring and emerging global issues. ICRN  invites emerging and innovative researchers to join its network. 

Keynote speakers are:
Jonathon Sargeant, University of Southern Quessnland, Australia,
Johnny McGaha Florida Gulf Coast University, USA
Josephine Pallard, International Heritage Languages, Canada

The Faculty of Education at Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax is pleased to host the International Cultural Research Network’s Exploring Cultural Perspectives Conference Halifax 2009. Rather than diluting broader themes, the ICRN Annual Conference selects particular strategic foci to explore and allow for the collegial objectives of the Network to be achieved. ICRN’s  Exploring Cultural Perspectives Conference: Halifax 2010 (May 2-6)  has designated its focus under five key themes:

• Childhood and Youth; 
• Education;
• Terrorism/Counter Terrorism/Genocide;
• Human Rights;
• Health.

ICRN  draws upon current international research within these themes. To maintain a high quality of participation, our five member Abstract Review Committee, all experts in the field, review all submissions using a double blind process. ICRN is highly competitive and seeks to represent leading research within the academic community so paper/workshops are limited to a maximum of 70 over the five day conference. Maximum engagement is ensured as ICRN schedules extend one-hour individual presentations that offer all participants an opportunity to engage with contemporary researchers,  invites discussion of relevant experiences and participation in achieving some practical solutions. It is anticipated that international and cross-disciplinary future collaborations will be established through the concluding plenary session.
The accepted papers will be eligible for publication following the conference.
