Meeting Description:

Global Conference: Creating Cultural Synergies - Setting Intercultural Competence to Work in a Changing World

Globalization, having brought people in contact with one another at a yet unprecedented scale, has also posed a general challenge to traditionally upheld concepts of race, gender, nation and class. For those living in this rapidly changing cultural landscape, intercultural competence has become a core skill. The Global Conference in Salzburg aims to bring researchers and practitioners from interdisciplinary fields and settings together to discuss and share research, theory and best practices and foster a dialogue on issues related to setting intercultural theories to work. 

Call for Papers:

The conference will have sessions for talks, posters and workshops. We welcome papers in the following categories related to the broader theme of intercultural studies:

- Interculturality and Leadership in Business
- Intercultural Competence and Empowerment 
- Language, Politics and Intercultural Communication 
- Intercultural Competence in Understanding Religion

It is expected that talks should not last longer than 20 minutes. Speakers whose papers are accepted have to submit a full paper (10 pages, 20.000 - 25.000 words) by 1st November 2011, for publication. Posters will focus on state-of-the-art research in intercultural competence. 

Workshops (to be held in German and in English in parallel sessions) will concern themselves with the following topics:

- Intercultural Empowerment
- Intercultural Education 
- Intercultural Coaching 

Proposals (400-600 words) should be emailed by 15th April, 2011 to Dr. Birgit Breninger: birgit.breninger at sbg.ac.at 

Please state on the proposal whether you want to give a talk, do a poster or hold a workshop.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
