Meeting Description:

The conference aims at encouraging the share and discussion of preliminary versions of papers produced by doctoral students. As an issue-based rather than discipline-specific event, it was designed to contribute to scientific interdisciplinary and cross-fertilisation both across the social sciences and humanities and between these and other fields of knowledge.

The conference will be held on September 13 and 16, 2013, as part of the LxS - Lisbon Summer School in Science and Culture. Participants in the graduate conference are encouraged to attend at least one of the courses of the summer school.

The conference will be structured in 90-minute panels, to be set around common themes after the selection of papers. A special panel will focus on ‘Language Hegemony’, which is the topic of one of the courses of the LxS.

Special Panels:

September 13, 2013
1. Language Hegemony
2. Social Policies
3. Global Changes and Urban-Rural Dynamics

September 16, 2013
4. Cultural Policies
5. Port Cities

PhD candidates from any higher education institution working on topics within, or in relation with, the social sciences and humanities are invited to present a paper to the second edition of the Pedro Hispano Lisbon Graduate Conference.

10. Authors of the selected papers are asked to sign a declaration entitling FCSH/NOVA to publish the papers as items of the Pedro Hispano Working Paper Series. Authors must also indicate if they are willing to accept comments on their paper and if they accept their paper to be quoted without previous authorization.
11. Authors of the selected papers should supply short biographic notes (70 words maximum) as well as the email contacts that will be made available with the article.
12. Authors are responsible for getting the necessary authorisations to publish objects protected by intellectual property rights (e.g., photos, data sets, charts, drawings, graphs). Sources and authors’ rights should be clearly indicated in the papers.
