Interdisciplinary.Net presents Forgiveness: Probing the Boundaries March 13-16, 2009, in Salzburg, Austria.
This inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary conference project seeks to investigate and explore the nature, significance, and practices of forgiveness. Asking for or granting forgiveness can often be a routine part of everyday life, but the nature of forgiveness as a personal, social and even international practice can be quite complex. It raises a wide variety of questions that touch on a vast array of academic disciplines. In cases of significant transgressions, social tensions, and even international conflicts the questions of what counts as forgiveness and how granting or withholding it can fundamentally change individual or international relationships becomes both more difficult and important to assess. This conference will look at the full range of this complexity. To encourage innovative trans-disciplinary dialogues, we warmly welcome papers from all disciplines, professions and vocations.
The deadline for submitting abstracts was Sept. 19, 2008.

Interdisciplinary.Net presents Pluralism, Inclusion & Citizenship Oct. 31 to Nov. 2, 2008, in Salzburg, Austria.
With this inter- and multi-disciplinary project we seek to explore the new developments and changes of the idea of pluralism and their implications for social and political processes of inclusion and citizenship in contemporary societies. The project will also assess the larger context of major world transformations, such as new forms of migration and the massive movements of people across the globe, as well as the impact of the multiple dynamics of globalisation on rootedness and membership (including their tensions and conflicts) and on a general sense of social acceptance and recognition.

Johns Hopkins University Center for Africana Studies presents The Civil Rights Century: The NAACP at 100 Feb. 6-7, 2009.
It’s been one hundred years since an interracial group of activists met in New York City to form the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in February 1909. For a nation that is less than 250 years old, the centennial of the NAACP is a major milestone. Using the NAACP as a lens, how much has changed in American race relations over the past 100 years? How far do we have to go? “The Civil Rights Century: The NAACP at 100″ is a public history conference that commemorates the NAACP’s long history and encourages dialogue on the nation’s racial past, present, and future.
The call for papers deadline is Oct. 31, 2008.

It’s been one hundred years since an interracial group of activists met in New York City to form the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in February 1909. For a nation that is less than 250 years old, the centennial of the NAACP is a major milestone. Using the NAACP as a lens, how much has changed in American race relations over the past 100 years? How far do we have to go? “The Civil Rights Century: The NAACP at 100″ is a public history conference that commemorates the NAACP’s long history and encourages dialogue on the nation’s racial past, present, and future.
The call for papers deadline is Oct. 31, 2008.

The Philosophy of Adam Smith: A conference to commemorate the 250th anniversary of The Theory of Moral Sentiments — Jan. 6-8, 2009, Balliol College, Oxford. Organised by the International Adam Smith Society and The Adam Smith Review.
This conference, to be held at the college Smith himself attended from 1740-46, and at the beginning of the year marking the 250th anniversary of the publication of The Theory of Moral Sentiments, will provide an opportunity to re-evaluate the significance of Smith’s moral philosophy and moral psychology, the relationship between them and his other writings on economics, politics, jurisprudence, history, and rhetoric and belles lettres, and the relevance of his thought to current research in these areas.

The Connecticut Law Review‘s fall symposium will be The Subprime Crisis: Moving Forward, Oct. 2008. (The journal’s website does not list a specific date.)
The standard subprime conference focuses on yesterday’s issues – i.e., definitions of subprime loans and why the subprime crisis happened. In this conference, in contrast, we will focus on the challenges that lie before us. It came as a shock to policymakers around the world that this seemingly obscure corner of the U.S. consumer credit market morphed into global contagion. Similarly, the United States is groping toward solutions to revive the credit markets and resolve millions of foreclosures. Necessarily, the symposium will be interdisciplinary in nature, involving the intersection of economics, finance, and law.

Tilburg University presents Tilting Perspectives on Regulating Technologies, Dec. 10-11, 2008. The call for papers deadline is Oct. 10, 2008.
Overall conference theme
Innovative technologies – ICT, biotechnology, nanotechnologies – have a huge impact on society. Regulating these technologies is a complex effort. This conference aims at bringing academic knowledge and policy approaches about regulating technology a step forward by looking at issues from a multidisciplinary angle. Regulating technologies involves different regulatory approaches giving rise to fundamental questions.
For instance: Do biotechnology and ICT innovations alter people’s identity? Can ICT regulation profit from experiences in dealing with sensitive issues in genetics? How can policy-makers approach regulatory issues in the context of polycentric governance? What use is the heuristic of applying ‘off-line’ rules to the ‘on-line’ environment, when ‘virtual’ and ‘real’ worlds converge? How can respect for human dignity and human rights be maintained in an era of human enhancement and surveillance? In what stage should moral values be taken into account in the design of technologies? If at all, which values?

Tilburg University presents Tilting Perspectives on Regulating Technologies, Dec. 10-11, 2008. The call for papers deadline is Oct. 10, 2008.
Overall conference theme
Innovative technologies – ICT, biotechnology, nanotechnologies – have a huge impact on society. Regulating these technologies is a complex effort. This conference aims at bringing academic knowledge and policy approaches about regulating technology a step forward by looking at issues from a multidisciplinary angle. Regulating technologies involves different regulatory approaches giving rise to fundamental questions.
For instance: Do biotechnology and ICT innovations alter people’s identity? Can ICT regulation profit from experiences in dealing with sensitive issues in genetics? How can policy-makers approach regulatory issues in the context of polycentric governance? What use is the heuristic of applying ‘off-line’ rules to the ‘on-line’ environment, when ‘virtual’ and ‘real’ worlds converge? How can respect for human dignity and human rights be maintained in an era of human enhancement and surveillance? In what stage should moral values be taken into account in the design of technologies? If at all, which values?
