EXCEPS International Conference
Ethno-Politics and Intervention in a Globalised World
Sunday 27th - Wednesday 30th June 2010
A cutting-edge, multi-disciplinary conference exploring the role of ethnicity and nationalism in the 21st century
Hardly a day goes by without a political or social manifestation of ethnicity crossing the headlines of international and national news. The conflict situations in Darfur, Iraq and Palestine; new state formations in the Balkans; issues of multiculturalism and security in Western cities; and the re-interpretation of historical memories and myths in places as far apart as Cornwall and Central Asia simultaneously point to the salience of ethnicity as a critical factor in today's complex world.
The Exeter Centre for Ethno-Political Studies (EXCEPS) is an exciting initiative which was established in 2007 following the award of a grant by the Leverhulme Trust to the University of Exeter. EXCEPS examines the role of ethnicity and nationalism in politics and conflict via a multi-disciplinary approach that brings together academics and practitioners from an array of fields. We will be holding our first international conference from 27-30 June 2010.
