About this event
Today [Aug. 29] is the deadline for faculty to submit individual paper proposals for the Institute for the Humanities' Interdisciplinary Forum Workshop Series taking place during the fall 2018 and spring 2019 semesters. With a length maximum of 400 words, proposals should explore different aspects of governance and its relationship to societies and/or the natural environment. Submissions should clearly state the argument or research questions central to the paper, highlight the relevance to the series theme, and explain the potential for establishing cross-disciplinary dialogues. Examples of potential paper topics include theoretical analyses of governance, historical changes in governance, governance in specific sociopolitical contexts, institutional governance, multi-level vs. community-based governance, governance and resilience, governance and the use of new technologies, governance in human and non-human relations, governance under social and political conflicts, governance and matters of health, governance in agri-food systems, human and wildlife interaction, and environmental governance. Priority will be given to scholarly papers that are in preparation for publication but that have not been previously reviewed or submitted. Selection of paper proposals will be based on the relevance of topics and complementarity with other proposals. All selected papers will be uploaded and available to all MSU faculty on the “portal” for easy sharing among participants.
