Interactions between societies and information technology

Information and communication technologies (ICT) are changing the ways people communicate, socialize and collaborate. Understanding the nature and consequences of these new interactions and social transformations is crucial if we want to design and shape a better future where digital technologies become an integral component of our life. The symposium will explore these interactions between society and ICT with a focus on the Humanities. It is organized by Digital Humanities Initiative at Linnaeus University with support from Linnaeus University, DARIAH-EU and Information Engineering Centre.

Mainstream political parties and immigrants: discourses, politicization and participation

IMISCOE Conference 2013 - Workshop 26

The workshop aims to fill existing gaps in the literature on immigrants and political parties. It also aims to consider the current context of economic crisis and retrenchment that the welfare state is playing in redefining existing discourses and practices of political parties as well as their linkages with immigrants and immigrant organisations. In order to advance these questions, it proposes to explore the relation between political parties and immigrants from three perspectives. The first one focuses on mainstream parties and their discourses and stances on immigration. The second one concentrates on parties as players in the politicization of immigration-related conflicts. Finally, the third one proposes to explore the dynamics of participation of immigrants in political parties.

In Search of Peace

Dialogues between theories and practices

The search for peace is longstanding. And yet, the concept remains elusive. Most probably the reason is simple, namely that peace is never fully achieved, it is not an end-point, but rather a constant process of negotiation among different actors regarding the terms of their relationships in a myriad of different arenas.

Le transfert des ressources entre générations

Transfers of economic, social and cultural resources from parents to children to a large extent are responsible for the inequalities of opportunity among children of different social origin and for the reproduction of social inequality across generations. To longstanding issues of economic disparities have recently been added important dimensions of family structure and other forms of social capital. These are the issues to be addressed by the ESF Research Conference on The Transfer of Resources across Generations: Family, Income, Human Capital and Children’s Wellbeing. The overarching goal of the conference is to develop and understand basic principles that generate these flows of resources of different kind and extent.
