Managing Diversity and Social Cohesion: The Canadian Experience/Sofia (Bulgaria)
| October 16, 2009 | to | October 18, 2009 |
October 16th to 18th 2009
The theme of the conference is intended to reflect one of Canada’s central strengths. This strength is the remarkable way in which, though a country marked by unusual diversity – linguistic, cultural, ethnic, regional and political, to name only the most obvious – it has nevertheless been able to contain these dynamic forces within a state of creative tension that has shaped the society as a whole. Taking this as our starting point, we invite individual papers from a wide variety of disciplines dealing with all aspects of the study of Canada, including but not limited to topics such as:
- Cultural diversity
- Democratic processes and human rights
- Social cohesion
- Canadian polity
- Social diversity in Canadian literature
- Emigrant writing
- The city in literature
- Intercultural dialogues in literature
- Canadian cultural narratives
- Cultural regionalism
- A nation in the making: historical perspectives
