CID Poster #10: Multiculturalism vs. Social Cohesion (reprise)

CID Posters(We are reprising the series of posters, because it has been several years since they were originally created, and they are much too wonderful to let them not be noticed by newcomers to the site!)

This is a bonus poster, designed by Linda J. de Wit even though she has completed her time as CID intern. This is the second poster to use the Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue as the source. The content here combines KC19: Multiculturalism by Polina Golovátina-Mora and Raúl Alberto Mora with KC79: Social Cohesion by Narine Nora Kerelian and Gizem Arat.

CID Poster #10: Multiculturalism vs Social CohesionJust in case anyone wants to cite this poster, the following would be the recommended format:

Center for Intercultural Dialogue. (2017). Multiculturalism vs. Social Cohesion. CID Posters, 10. Available from:
https://centerforinterculturaldialogue.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/multiculturalism-social-cohesion.png

As with other series, CID Posters are available for free on the site; just click on the thumbnail to download a printable PDF. They may be downloaded, printed, and shared as is, without changes, without cost, so long as there is acknowledgment of the source.

As with other series, if you wish to contribute an original contribution, please send an email before starting any work to receive approval, to minimize inadvertent duplication, and to learn about technical requirements. As is the case with other CID Publications, posters should be created initially in English. Given that translations of the Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue have received so many views, anyone who wishes to translate their own poster into another language (or two) is invited to provide that as well. If you want to volunteer to translate someone else’s poster into a language in which you are fluent, send in a note before starting, to receive approval and to confirm no one else is working on the same one.

CFP BAAL 2022: Innovation and Social Justice in Applied Linguistics (N Ireland & Online)

ConferencesCall for papers: British Association of Applied Linguistics: Innovation and Social Justice in Applied Linguistics, 1-3 September 2022, Queen’s University, Belfast, Northern Ireland (Hybrid format). Deadline: 31 March, 2022.

BAAL 2022 will be hosted by Queen’s University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The conference’s theme Innovation and Social Justice in Applied Linguistics reflects an increasing interest in research that responds to real-world concerns within and beyond the field. In the face of a global health crisis and rising socio-racial awareness, this theme invites discussions around innovative and socially just practices in a field that is experiencing the multilingual, spatial, and social justice turn all at once. The current times are transformative and organizers hope that the conference theme will enable proposals from across disciplines and sub-disciplines of applied linguistics to stimulate conversations about the field’s responses to global turbulence and shifts. They also invite proposals to generate meaningful dialogue around current issues in language research.

The current plan is to hold the conference in-person with limited virtual options for participation. They will monitor the situation closely and reassess the situation in March 2022 and make a final decision as to whether the conference will be held in person or if it will have to move to an online format.

Key Concepts in ICDContinuing translations of Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue, today I am posting KC79: Social Cohesion, which Narine Nora Kerelian and Gizem Arat wrote for publication in English in 2016, and which Candost Aydın has now translated into Turkish.

As always, all Key Concepts are available as free PDFs; just click on the thumbnail to download. Lists of Key Concepts organized chronologically by publication date and number, alphabetically by concept, and by languages into which they have been translated, are available, as is a page of acknowledgments with the names of all authors, translators, and reviewers.

If you are interested in translating one of the Key Concepts, please contact me for approval first because dozens are currently in process. As always, if there is a concept you think should be written up as one of the Key Concepts, whether in English or any other language, propose it. If you are new to CID, please provide a brief resume. This opportunity is open to masters students and above, on the assumption that some familiarity with academic conventions generally, and discussion of intercultural dialogue specifically, are useful.

CFP The Role of Faith and Spirituality in Negotiation and Conflict Management

“PublicationCall for Papers: The Role of Faith and Spirituality in Negotiation and Conflict Management, Special issue of Negotiation and Conflict Management Research. Deadline: 1 May 2022.

Special issue editor: Bing Han, University of South Carolina at Aiken.

Spiritual experiences have profound influences on individual lives. A nation’s spiritual and religious traditions have significant political, psychological and social implications for its people. Conflicts can occur between individuals or groups with different faith and spiritual traditions, between individuals with and those without adherence to a faith, and between nations with different spiritual traditions and history. Within each spiritual tradition, prominent texts and figures lead the search for truth and for solutions to human problems including peace and conflict. Therefore, the role of faith and spirituality in negotiation and conflict management theory and practice merits further examination. In this special issue, negotiation and conflict researchers and practitioners should ask the question: How does the rich history and culture of a spiritual tradition contribute to negotiation and conflict management theory and practice?

The call for papers is focused on the important contributions of faith and spirituality to the field of negotiation and conflict management. Priorities will be given to manuscripts that create, test, or expand theory in negotiation and conflict management research. The editor welcomes thought-provoking manuscripts including empirical and theoretical original research employing various methodologies.
