School of Politics and International Relations University of Nottingham In the ten years since the millennium, politics has undergone significant changes. War, financial meltdown, increased internationalism and an apparently cynical public dominate the political sphere. In addition, politics is being communicated and discussed in the throes of a technological revolution. New media and social networking is democratising politics to an extent never seen before.
This conference will bring postgraduate students together to discuss the specifics of both national and trans-national politics since the year 2000. Conference aims: First the conference will provide a welcoming setting for post-graduates to present their work. Abstracts of 200 words are invited on any aspect of research which might address or be relevant to politics since 2000. Possible topics could include, but are not exclusive to: (i) identities and representations; (ii) human rights; (iii) the environment; (iv) cultural representations; (v) civil and military relations; (vi) governance and institutions; (vii) corruption; and (viii) cartography, boundaries and migration. The organisers welcome and will consider all submissions around the topic of politics since the millennium. The second aim of the conference is to promote new ways of discussing and presenting politics within academia. As well as traditional panels, submissions are invited in the form of round table discussions, coffee house discussions, films or any other medium which post-graduates deem appropriate. Post-graduates are also welcome to group together and submit ideas for entire panels and workshops. A keynote speaker will present on the theme of politics since the millennium. The conference will conclude with a round-table discussion in which all delegates are invited to participate. Papers are welcomed from across the social sciences. We especially welcome applications from postgraduate students and early career researchers. Works in progress are welcome.
