Following the success of the past two years, this third annual conference will explore the impacts of globalization from a variety of disciplinary lenses. How has globalization transformed us individually and collectively? How is globalization shaping notions of ethics? Is globalization merely a shrinking of the world or is it transforming human experience? What challenges does globalization pose to understandings of the self and the other? How do we sustain a globalized world in terms of food, energy, and education? Are we already living in a post-globalized world? We welcome submissions from across the spectrum of academic fields, including politics, history, linguistics, technology, language studies, sociology, anthropology, geography, economics, philosophy, ethics, law, religion, and cultural studies. We especially encourage contributions from PhD students and scholars working in non-western and/or underrepresented regions. - Globalization and Technologies - Ethics in a Globalized World - Language and Globalization - Transnational Education - Historical Perspectives on Globalization - Cross-Cultural Encounters with Globalization - Contrasting Global North/Global South - Comparing East/West Perspectives - Globalization and the Environment - Citizenship and Indigeneity - Globalization and Gender/Race/Ethnicity - Heritage in a Globalized World - Communication and Globalization - Food Security and Globalization Submission of individual papers and panel proposals on these or other related themes are welcome.
