*** FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT ***<br>
<br>
Call for papers<br>
International Doctoral Summer School<br>
Identity and Interculturality: Research Methods<br>
<br>
To be held at Roskilde University, Denmark on 4-8 July 2011<br>
<br>
Invited guests<br>
• Michael Byram, (Professor Emeritus, School of Education, University of<br>
Durham),<br>
• Claire Kramsch (University of California at Berkeley, USA),<br>
• Alex Gillespie (University of Stirling, Scotland)<br>
• Mike Baynham (University of Leeds, England).<br>
<br>
The event is convened by Fred Dervin (University of Turku, Finland) and<br>
Karen Risager (Roskilde University, Denmark). It is initiated by the<br>
international research network Cultnet and is hosted by the doctoral<br>
programme Intercultural Studies at Roskilde University.<br>
<br>
Aims and Target Group of the Summer School<br>
The aims of the Roskilde International Summer School are threefold:<br>
• to help students grasp and critically engage with the notions of<br>
identity and interculturality and see how they are related<br>
• to get to know various research methods that can help students to work<br>
within cultural and social complexity<br>
• to discuss their own research topics and to get to test various research<br>
tools that can help them to move on in/improve their research<br>
The Summer School is meant to be transdisciplinary, and the target group<br>
is PhD students from all disciplinary backgrounds who are especially<br>
interested in methodologies related to this field of study.<br>
<br>
Thematic Areas<br>
Discussions at the Summer School are to be organised in four thematic areas:<br>
Education: identity and interculturality in education and learning<br>
Migration: identity and interculturality in migration and other kinds of<br>
mobility<br>
Literature: identity and interculturality in literary representation and<br>
literary practice<br>
Technologies: identity and interculturality developed via digital<br>
technologies and media<br>
<br>
Identity and Interculturality<br>
The concept of identity is one of the pivotal concepts of our times – but<br>
also one of the most controversial. It has been theorized from many<br>
different disciplinary angles in the humanities and the social sciences,<br>
and has been a central concept in the interdisciplinary field of Cultural<br>
Studies. It covers a richness of perspectives such as identity and<br>
experience, identity and the body, identity and politics, identity and<br>
recognition, etc., and a wide range of sociocultural parametres have been<br>
explored: identity and gender, age, profession, nationality, ethnicity,<br>
race, language, religion, class, etc. In today’s research there seems to<br>
be an agreement on the fact that identity doesn’t exist in itself but that<br>
it is constructed and thus not a given.<br>
Interculturality has come to be an umbrella term for a view of the world<br>
that foregrounds complexity of meaning production and identity<br>
construction at both micro and macro levels. Here as well, the terms are<br>
legio to express these phenomena: cultural diversity, transculturality,<br>
cultural complexity, cultural hybridity, etc. Researchers now emphasize<br>
that these shouldn’t be used interchangeably as they are not synonymous.<br>
This means that researchers must position themselves clearly within the<br>
terminology.<br>
The study of identity and interculturality is also the study of a whole<br>
array of social problems and power-issues like dominance, inequality,<br>
subalternity, exclusion/inclusion, minority/majority, othering,<br>
marginalization, discrimination, essentialization, ethnicism, racism,<br>
linguicism, culturalism – and their consequences for the subject, both<br>
the dominated and the dominator.<br>
<br>
Focus on Research Methods<br>
In the vast and fertile field of studies on identity and interculturality<br>
the focus will be on research methods. For novice researchers the issue of<br>
researching complexity is very challenging. They often work within<br>
postmodern, post-structuralist or deconstructivist paradigms, which have<br>
questioned solid understandings of basic concepts such as identity,<br>
subjectivity and culture. But they may find it hard to identify analytical<br>
tools that can allow working within complexity, plurality and instability.<br>
The focus will primarily be on qualitative methods, such as ethnographic<br>
studies, conversation analysis, dialogical studies, discourse and<br>
narrative studies, biographical studies, action research, as well as<br>
triangulations of these. However, we do not want to treat the<br>
qualitative/quantitative divide too absolutely. In some research projects<br>
on identities it may be highly relevant to supplement or contextualize by<br>
means of quantitative methods.<br>
In methodological reflections, the language aspect is often important,<br>
both in the sense that much of the research process is indeed discursive,<br>
and in the sense that all people involved in research, including<br>
informants, speak one or more languages, and choose to communicate in one<br>
or more language(s), perhaps mediated by an interpreter. In research on<br>
interculturality, in particular, the question of what languages are<br>
spoken and by whom, may be highly relevant, as the choice of languages is<br>
neither culturally nor politically neutral.<br>
<br>
Working Methods<br>
The Summer School will be composed of:<br>
• lectures by experts + discussants<br>
• parallel workshops on the above-mentioned four thematic areas. In the<br>
workshops students will present their work and get feedback from the<br>
experts<br>
• roundtables on specific issues related to methodology<br>
<br>
Applying for the Summer School<br>
The Summer School is open to anyone registered in a PhD programme in any<br>
country and in any discipline related to the field of study in question.<br>
Prospective participants should send an application including the<br>
following information:<br>
• contact details<br>
• institution and year registered<br>
• name of supervisor<br>
• current situation and estimated date of completion of thesis<br>
• thesis title<br>
• abstract (<300 words + bibliography) describing the paper that will be<br>
presented at the Summer School<br>
• thematic area (education, migration, literature, technologies)<br>
<br>
Duration of paper is 30 min. The working language of the Summer School is<br>
English.<br>
<br>
Please send your application to secretary Tinna Kryger: <a href="mailto:tkryger%40ruc.dk">tkryger@ruc.dk</a><br>
