International Studies Schools Association Conference
"All Classes Through Global Glasses"

With that in mind, we bring you the 2005 ISSA Conference, All Classes Through Global Glasses. It's not just for Social Studies and it's not just for teachers. The 2005 conference is for teachers of all disciplines -- the Sciences, Languages, Mathematics, Physical Education, Humanities, Business -- as well as school and district administrators. Plans are now underway.

The official start of the conference is Thursday evening, but we'll have optional sessions earlier that day. Information will be e-mailed as available.

Focusing on issues of identity in its multiple relationships with various facets of culture, the interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary conference aims to interrogate established notions of identity within the context of Turkish culture, the cultures of Turkey, and the cultures of Turks. Over 160 papers will be presented by participants coming from the US, Canada, various countries in Europe, Israel, Ukraine and Azerbaidjan.

IX European Congress of Psychology
Granada, Spain

The Granada Congress will be both European and global, both with regard to the themes of the Congress and the participation from all over the world. The Congress is co-sponsored by the world psychology organisations IAAP (International Association of Applied Psychology) and IUPsyS (International Union of Psychological Science).

An important aspect of the Congress will be linking science with profession. Unlike many other professions, psychology is a profession that has grown out of science; it emerged from science and continues to develop side by side with it. The success and credibility of psychology as a profession relies greatly on the close link between scientific research and practical application.

The 8th UKFIET Oxford International Conference on Education and Development: Learning and Livelihood
Oxford , UK

The UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014) has suggested Learning and Livelihood as the theme of the 8th Oxford Conference. Taking livelihood holistically, the theme allows us to explore how learning enhances individual potential across the life span, and the well-being of families, communities and societies, in different parts of the world.

It invites analysis of old and new approaches to education and training and their relevance to professional, workplace and labour market expectations.

It creates a space for comparing the influence of values and purposes of public, private and civil society investment in learning on the later use of human capacities. With decreasing job stability, reduced social protection and unprecedented levels of migration and conflict, it is urgent to consider how learning interacts with respect for human rights, social responsibility and environmental security.

It is also important to examine how learning nurtures our spiritual and expressive identities, individually and collectively. Above all, there is the question as to how we as learners, teachers, researchers, policy makers and other practitioners respond to these issues, and their implications for what we ourselves do.

LASA 2006 International Congress: De-Centering Latin American Studies
San Juan , Puerto Rico (Latin American Studies Association)

Congress Theme: From its inception, LASA has proven to be a vital forum for scholarly collaboration and intellectual exchange among U.S.-based Latin Americanists and colleagues in Latin America , the Caribbean , and around the globe. Yet despite our growing international membership (currently nearing 30 percent), Latin American Studies, as an institutionalized knowledge formation, remains largely centered in the US and LASA is arguably still a "US-centric" area studies association. The 2006 Congress seeks to further the "de-centering" and transnationalization of the field by featuring sessions on how the study of Latin America , the Caribbean and its peoples is practiced in distinctive ways within the US (e.g., Latin American/Latina-o Studies), in Latin America and the Caribbean , and in other regions of the world. The Congress would hope to build on the wide variety of approaches and epistemologies that emerge from multiple positionalities and diverse geopolitical locations in collectively (re)imagining Latin American Studies for the 21st century.
