Call for Papers Theme: Being Human and Human Being Type: 2nd International Graduate Student Conference Institution: Alliance of Civilizations Institute, Ibn Haldun University Location: Istanbul (Turkey) Date: 5.–6.4.2019 Deadline: 3.2.2019 __________________________________________________ The Alliance of Civilizations Institute at Ibn Haldun University is pleased to announce the second international graduate student conference. This interdisciplinary graduate conference aims to give early career scholars, Phd-students and Master students the opportunity to present their academic research to peers and senior academics. Around the general theme of “Being Human and Human Being”, the conference aspires to provide an intellectual engaged forum for an interdisciplinary discussion of core perspectives and issues. The goal is for everyone to benefit from the multi-disciplinary and inter-civilizational perspectives that are practiced within different academic domains of thought, and to identify new avenues of research within the humanities. As such the conference aims to be a preparatory ground to improve rhetoric and presentational skills and to increase the know-how on how to present academic research to people that are not necessarily specialised in the field. The language of submission is English, though the presentation can exceptionally, upon request and approval, be held in Turkish, nevertheless, we highly encourage all applications to aim presenting in English.
