Living Together - Civic, Political and Cultural Engagement among Migrants, Minorities and National Populations: Multidisciplinary Perspectives
Wednesday 27 January 2010
The Centre for Research on Nationalism, Ethnicity and Multiculturalism (CRONEM) 6th Annual Conference, a joint international conference in partnership with the Runnymede Trust, is to be held at the University of Surrey this year, from 29-30 June 2010.
The conference aims to take stock of the different forms of civic, political and cultural engagement, which currently exist, and investigate the factors and processes which are driving them. It will also pursue the role of public policy in the engagement of women, migrants, minorities and national populations. A special feature of the conference this year will be an event organised by the Runnymede Trust, which will consider where Britain stands 10 years after the Parekh Report on the future of multi-ethnic Britain and 25 years after the Swann Report.
CRONEM is a multidisciplinary research centre in the field of nationalism, ethnicity and multiculturalism. It brings together those at Surrey and Roehampton who are engaged in issues that lie at the nexus between nation, ethnicity, multiculturalism, citizenship and migration.
