Call for Proposals

VIII Biennial International Conference on Intercultural Research

Where: University of Nevada--Reno, Nevada

When: June 23-27, 2013

The International Academy for Intercultural Research (IAIR) invites you to join us at the 8th Biennial International Conference on Intercultural Research. The conference will be hosted by the University of Nevada, located in the beautiful city of Reno, Nevada—“The Biggest Little City in the World.”

The IAIR is an explicitly interdisciplinary forum which promotes and facilitates intercultural research in the areas of Psychology, Sociology, Communication, Education, Anthropology, Management, Political Science, and other areas of specialization in the social sciences and practice. The 2013 conference theme is “Pushing the Frontiers of Intercultural Research: Asking Critical Questions.” The immediate objective of the conference is to provide an international forum for participants to consider and question information through meaningful dialogues. Whether we are conducting research or applying it, we need to consider whether we are asking the types of critical questions that are necessary. Are we pushing the boundaries of our fields, or staying bounded by existing frameworks of knowledge, methodology, or applications?

All theoretical and empirical works regardless of method or discipline are solicited. Members and non-members at all levels of training and practice are encouraged to submit proposals.
There are three submission deadlines: November 1st, January 15th, and February 15th. Proposals received by the first deadline will be given first consideration and so forth.
