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.

The Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethics, and Public Policy continues to consider papers for symposium issues on Immigration and on The Environment. Both issues will be published early next spring.
The Journal welcomes articles and essays addressing any issues within the upcoming topic areas. The Journal seeks as rich a dialogue as possible on these important topics, and therefore encourages articles not only from law professors but also from legal practitioners, politicians, political scientists, clerics, and other sundry philosopher-kings. The Journal places a strong emphasis on articles and essays that are morally serious, passionately argued, and well written. Submissions may be as long as truly necessary (up to 30,000 words, text and footnotes), but should be as short as possible.
Submissions should be emailed to ndjlepp [at] nd.edu. Submissions will be reviewed for possible publication until December 15. Any questions should be directed to Noah J. Stanzione, the current Editor-in-Chief, at stanzione.1 [at] nd.edu.

The Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethics, and Public Policy is now accepting papers for the two issues of Vol. XXIII, due out next spring.

A limited number of papers will also be selected for presentation by their authors at our symposia (dates still tba, but the Environment symposium will be in the fall and Immigration in the spring).
The Journal’s leadership firmly believes that any serious discussion of the great legal and policy questions of our day must be informed by a consideration of morality and ethics. The Journal welcomes for consideration articles or essays of any length treating seriously upon an issue within its upcoming topic areas. We look for thoughtful contemplation and passionate writing.
Submissions should be emailed to: njlepp[at]nd.edu
Documents should be in Word format, double-spaced, with footnotes conforming to the Bluebook. In matters not directly addressed by the Bluebook, the Chicago Manual of Style should be consulted. Submissions for both issues will be accepted from now until Nov. 15.
Any questions should be directed to: Noah J. Stanzione, the current Editor-in-Chief, stanzione.1[at]nd.edu
