17th International Conference One Globe: Many Voices, Many Challenges May 22-25 2008 in San Francisco, California USA |
Papers from all disciplines, both academic and applied fields, are invited for presentation at the Seventeenth Annual Conference of the Global Awareness Society International. As reflected in the conference theme –“One Globe: Many Voices, Many Challenges”– the central focus of the conference will address how globalization impacts various peoples and systems of the world. We define globalization broadly to include an array of issues that incorporate a global, international, or cross-cultural component. Examples include economic issues and processes, education, environment, gender, health and medicine, human rights, internal and transnational migration, issues pertaining to the family, issues in social work, labor and employment, law and legal issues, criminal justice, nations and nationalism, political change, political economy, popular culture, poverty and social inequality, racial and ethnic issues, refugees and internally displaced persons, religion, social movements, social change, technology, issues pertaining to conflict, war, and peace, and finally, regional studies: Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America, and the Middle East. |
