CFP Journal of Transdisciplinary Peace Praxis

“Publication

Call for Papers for the 8th issue of Journal of Transdisciplinary Peace Praxis. Deadline: 15 March 2022.

The Journal of Transdisciplinary Peace Praxis (JTPP) is concentrating the eighth issue on the broad theme of modelling and encouraging the values of peace and restoration in a fractured/polarised world order. A critical set of skills for those either working in the field of conflict resolution or aspiring to be peacemakers, modelling peaceful nonviolent values are in short supply in our postmodern and post-truth reality. They encourage all those working in the expansive and growing field of Peace, Conflict, and Justice Studies to submit their conference presentation papers, praxis and book review ideas, and full-length manuscripts for publication, especially those addressing:

  • The interplay between restorative and peacemaking values;
  • Non-traditional, or lesser known, exemplars of peacemaking and peacebuilding;
  • The challenges of embracing inclusive excellence in peacework;
  • The difficulties of justifying peacework in our capitalist and neoliberal world system.

 

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.

They are inviting submissions proposals which deal with one or more of the following issues: xenophobia; racism; racist hatred/violence; (religious/ethnic) intolerance; social exclusion; discrimination; nationalism; eurocentrism. This call for proposals aims to devote considerable attention to how the phenomena of racism, nationalism and xenophobia are represented in artistic practices in film, and media.

CFP Counter Archives: Communities

“PublicationCall for chapters: Counter Archives: Communities, Archive/Counter-Archive (A/CA), Canada. Deadline for abstract: November 1, 2021.

Editors: Stacy Allison-Cassin, University of Toronto, and Antoine Damiens,  York University.

Archive/Counter-Archive solicits chapter proposals for Counter Archives: Communities, a hybrid media book under consideration with Concordia University Press. Political, resistant and community-based counter-archives disrupt conventional narratives and enrich our histories. Counter-archives embody both a theoretical approach to conceptualizing archives and a mode of practice—a practice that resists the universalizing force of dominant techniques of documentation and standardization at work within most institutional archives, libraries, and museums. They seek to counter the hegemony of traditional archival institutions that have normally neglected or marginalized women, Indigenous peoples, the LGBT2Q+ community, and immigrant communities. This volume is the first book within a potential book series edited by the Archive/Counter-Archive network. It seeks to reflect and theorize marginalized communities’ engagement with (counter)archival materials and protocols. As such, the book aims to decenter traditional archival narratives by focusing on community-led practices.
