Secession AS An International Phenomenon Charleston, South Carolina
December, 6, 7, 8, 2007
A CONFERENCE Sponsored by
ARENA
association for research on ethnicity and nationalism in the americas
ARENA, a new international organization whose mission is to broaden and
enliven the conversation on nationalism, is sponsoring an international
conference and book of essays on one of the most volatile forces of modern
history. We will meet where modern secession began, in the heart of
historic Charleston, for two and a half days of public addresses, research
presentations, and lively discussion.
Featured speakers at the Charleston conference will include: William
Freehling, Allen Buchanan, Robert E. Bonner, Susan-Mary Grant, Bruno
Coppieters, Margaret Moore, and Andrйs Resйndez
Open to all disciplines
and to studies of separatism in all parts of the world, the conference is
designed to encourage conversation and exchange particularly among
scholars in history, politics, philosophy, sociology, and law. We invite
papers that deal with historic or contemporary separatist movements and
their opposition, or with theoretical approaches.
Conference sponsors expect to have funding for travel, accommodation,
and meals for those who indicate need.
Approximately 14 presenters will be invited to publish their revised
papers in a book of essays and attend a workshop for the contributors in
May 2008.
Proposals should be sent by e-mail to ARENA@sc.edu by January 1, 2007
