3rd Global Conference:Beauty

3rd Global Conference
Beauty

Sunday 15th September - Tuesday 17th September 2013
Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom

Call for Presentations
'The first real problem I faced in my life was that of beauty,' wrote the poet-playwright-novelist Yukio Mishima, in Temple of the Golden Pavilion as he pondered beauty's relevance, meanings, and the spell it cast over him. Beauty is complicated by the word beauty itself. Limited or overloaded, beauty has been celebrated as essential or denounced as irrelevant. The existence of beauty has been challenged, called a search for Eldorado. Some find no beauty in life, a recurring motif in subcultures, music lyrics, and the notes left by suicides. Others dismiss that perspective, arguing that common sense, experience, and multidisciplinary research reveal the reality and centrality of beauty in our lives. But what exactly is beauty? Speculations about the nature of beauty are various and contradictory. Some philosophers have argued that it will remain a mystery. Other theorists have held less modest beliefs, arguing that beauty expresses a basic spiritual reality, has universal physical properties, or is an experience and construction of mind and culture. The beauty 'project' will explore, assess, and map a number of key core themes.
These will include:

1. Understanding Beauty
- Defining beauty
- Theorising beauty
- Power of beauty
- History of beauty
- Politics of beauty
- Culture of beauty
- Religion of beauty
- Beauty Myths

3. Beauty and Nature
- Beauty and the natural world
- Beauty and the Sublime
- Beauty and desire
- Science and mathematics of beauty
- Medical aspects of beauty

4. Beauty, Culture, and Identity
- Beauty subcultures
- Beauty and social stratification: gender, sexuality, class, race, ethnicity, age, etc.
- Beauty collectors
- Beauty specialists
- Beauty disciples
- Enhancing the body beautiful: cosmetics, tattoos, piercings, surgical interventions, and other forms of body modification

5. The Business of Beauty
- Beauty and consumer culture
- Beauty and cultural capital
- Beauty professions and trades
- Beauty cities

4th Global Conference: Space and Place

4th Global Conference
Space and Place

Monday 9th September - Thursday 12th September 2013
Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom

Call for Presentations
Questions of space and place affect the very way in which we experience and recreate the world. Wars are fought over both real and imagined spaces; boundaries are erected against the "Other" constructing a lived landscape of division and disenfranchisement; while ideology constructs a national identity based upon the dialectics of inclusion and exclusion. The construction of space and place is also a fundamental aspect of the creative arts either through the art of reconstruction of a known space or in establishing a relationship between the audience and the performance. Politics, power and knowledge are also fundamental components of space as is the relationship between visibility and invisibility. This new inter- and multi-disciplinary conference project seeks to explore these and other topics and open up a dialogue about the politics and practices of space and place. We seek submissions from a range of disciplines including archaeology, architecture, urban geography, the visual and creative arts, philosophy and politics and also actively encourage practitioners and non-academics with an interest in the topic to participate.

We welcome traditional papers, preformed panels of papers, workshop proposals and other forms of performance - recognising that different disciplines express themselves in different mediums. Submissions are sought on any aspect of space and place, including the following:

- The relationship between spatiality and temporality/space as a temporal-spatial event (Massey: 2005)
- The language and semiotics of space and place

2.The situation and location of Identities
- Gendered spaces including the tension between domestic and public spheres
- Work spaces and hierarchies of power

- Queer places and spaces
- Alterity and its relationship to the production of space and place
- Spatialities in Rural areas of nature
- Queer Ruralities
- Dangerous Nature vs. Civilisation

3. The Contestation of Existing Spaces and Places
- Contemporary local and global political insurgencies and the politics of occupation in urban spaces and places, including the Occupy movement, the Arab Spring, the London Riots and the incursion by M23 into the DRC.
- The economic, political, social and cultural contestation of urban space and its effect upon the production of place
- The politics and ideology of constructions and discourses of space and place including the construction of gated communities as a response to real/imagined terrorism, class politics, or ethnic and cultural heterogeneity.
- The relationship between power, knowledge and the construction of place and space
- Territorial wars, both real and imagined.
- The relationship between the global and the local and their relationship to space and place
- Barriers, obstructions and disenfranchisement in the construction of lived spaces

3rd Global Conference: Communication and Conflict

3rd Global Conference
Communication and Conflict

Thursday 5th September - Saturday 7th September 2013
Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom

Call for Presentations
Our ability to communicate successfully affects so many aspects of our lives. Difficulties, indeed failures, or breakdowns in communication can play a major role in hostility, conflict and war. Communication problems can also lead to personal frustration and desired outcomes not being realised.

The nature of our communications can raise larger contextual issues about human learning, exchange of knowledge and the nature of humanity. How can we communicate where those involved have quite different languages, specialisations and views of the world? How can we avoid conflict when we strongly disagree based on the great differences in how we perceive things? How can we appreciate and consider highly divergent views from our own? How can we still communicate effectively when the conceptual gap is so large? How can we make good decisions and complete tasks when communication is difficult?

Wars may be started and sustained by communication difficulties. When we communicate we are not just stating facts, but also emotions and personal positions that may underlie them. In the cut and thrust of everyday life, being able to recognise, track, and respond to the varied levels in communication can be challenging. It may require us to appreciate knowledge and realities vastly different than our own; bridging communication gaps may place us well outside our comfort zone.

This new inter- and multi-disciplinary conference project seeks to explore these and other topics and create dialogue about communication and conflict. We seek submissions from a range of disciplines including communication studies, journalism, public affair's, public relations, philosophy, psychology, literature, management, business studies, information technology, science, the visual and creative arts, music, politics and also actively encourage practitioners and non-academics with an interest in the topic to participate.

We welcome traditional papers, preformed panels of papers, workshop proposals and other forms of performance recognising that different disciplines express themselves in different mediums. Submissions are sought on any aspect of Communications including the following:

1. Non-violent, or Compassionate, Communication (NVC)
- Honest self-expression
- Empathy
- Spiritual Connections
- Active Listening

2. Communication and Conflict
- Workplace
- Domestic
- International Relations
- Cultural
- Spiritual
- War
- Terrorism

3 . Communication Breakdowns and Breakthroughs
- Breakdowns (e.g. language and gender differences, misinterpretations,mental illness, failure to notice, to listen, effects of complexity, and disagreements etc.)
- Breakthroughs (Creative responses such in music, drama, literature, art, humour, etc.)

4 . Dehumanising Communication
- Reification
- Alienation
- Portraying others, strangers, the enemy
- Effects of technology (electronic communication)

5. Dialogue

3rd Global Conference: The Value of Work

3rd Global Conference
The Value of Work

Sunday 1st September - Tuesday 3rd September 2013
Mansfield College, Oxford

Call for Presentations
This conference aims to bring together people from a wide range of disciplines to focus on a fundamental aspect of human life: work.

Work has pervasive influence on human life. Where we live, how we live, how we learn and how we see the world is strongly shaped by the work we do. Since the industrial revolution some of the expected benefits of the implementation of technology, and contemporary management have not been realised.

While working hours are generally not what they were in the Industrial revolution, actual working hours for many people have not decreased in the last 10-15 years. This is because many people work more than their formally specified hours in order to meet their job requirements. A common feature of contemporary management is an ongoing expectation of 'doing more with less'. This means many people are working at an increased pace of work, and/or are working longer.

This conference seeks to gain understanding of the nature of work and the specific nature of its impacts. It also seeks perspectives and understanding that breaks from the logic of how work is often done. In particular what are the possibilities of work that contributes to human well being, and is the idea of excellence at work? It also seeks to investigate the relationship of work to leisure and friendship.

Papers, workshops and presentations are invited on any of the following themes:

1. Understanding Work
- defining work
- understanding work.
- new definitions of work shifting contexts and the spread of work

2. Inclusive Work
- work where workers meaningfully participate in management
- achieving participative management
- preventing marginalisation and discrimination
- understanding accounting for the role/influence gender has in work

3. Healthy Work
- understanding the contribution of work to health and well being
- understanding and addressing health hazards
- understanding and addressing bullying in the workplace
- understanding the role of spirituality in healthy work
- creating a psychologically healthy workplace

4. Excellence at Work
- the idea of craftsmanship
- the spirituality and excellent work
- learning challenges and opportunities for contemporary work
- excellence and meaningful work
- how to apply ethical values in challenging work environments, such as nursing, social work, psychological, psychiatric treatment, defence and police work.

5. Portrayals of Work
- representations of work in tv, film, theatre and literature
- how may portrayals of work help to emancipate workers?

6. Friendships at Work
- understanding forms of friendship at work
- fostering a friendly work environment
- personal recognition and social capital

7. Work and Leisure
- how does work and leisure impact on each other?
- how can both work and leisure complement and enhance each other?
- what is the contribution of voluntary work?
- working in retirement

The Steering Group particularly welcomes the submission of pre-formed panel proposals. Papers will also be considered on any related theme.

What to Send:
300 word abstracts should be submitted by Friday 22nd March 2013. If an abstract is accepted for the conference, a full draft paper should be submitted by Friday 21st June 2013. 300 word abstracts should be submitted simultaneously to both Organising Chairs; abstracts may be in Word, WordPerfect, or RTF formats with the following information and in this order:
