Call for proposals
Perceptions or perceived fear of loss of identity have spurned radicalization and extremism of various creeds and hues. Does the emergence of radical and extremist movements represent a failure of pluralism or points to a dire need for re-imagining pluralism that can address critical issues of the day?
Pluralism, both in its absence and/or relative presence is intricately linked to cohesiveness and/or fissures in a society. Pluralism provides a principled defense of freedoms (where they exist) and a road map for such where they don’t. Moving beyond the liberal articulation of pluralism, we understand pluralism as a set of interrelated processes that includes (but is not limited to) move towards social and cognitive justice, acceptance of multiplicity of knowledges, openness to plurality of voices, co-existence of religious and cultural values systems, (re)affirmation of diverse identities etc.
Concordia University, Montreal, the Global Centre for Pluralism, Ottawa, and Texas A&M University, Qatar are pleased to announce the 5th International Symposium on Teaching about extremism, terror, and trauma (TETT 2023). The theme for the 2023 TETT Symposium is ‘Pluralism as counter-radicalization education.’
Specific sub-themes of the symposium include (but are not limited to):
You are invited to submit proposals for individual presentations addressing the main or any of the sub-themes of the conference.
The symposium will give the delegates the opportunity to engage with a diverse body of experts, scholars, practitioners, students and stakeholders. We ask that you identify the thematic area of your presentation and provide a brief abstract (200-300 words excluding the title) by February 15, 2023. Notification of acceptance will be on a rolling base with the final notifications sent out on March 15, 2023.
The symposium committee welcomes contributions using a variety of scholarly perspectives that include (but are not limited to) empirical, practice-based, and theoretical papers using critical, qualitative and quantitative methodological orientations. Selected papers presented at the symposium will be considered for further development and publication in a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal.
Equal amounts of time will be dedicated to presentations and discussion. This highly interactive design, your expertise and contributions to the field, we believe, will be of great benefit to all delegates and to our understanding of this urgent topic.
